the attributes that make for availabili-
ty as candidate for this exalted sta
ton than any one yet suggested, His
strength is confined to no particular
section. He is national character ID
every sense of that much.abused term.
His personal popularity would sweep
the country from ocean to ocean and
from the lakes to the gulf like unto
prairie fire. Local pride in his achieve
ments would swing the electoral vote
of the East into line. His thoroughly
American campain IN Porto Rice and
Cuba reader him a warm favorite in
the South. His valiant service in the
Civil War gives him an Irresistible
sway in the North and with the Grand
Army of the Republic. His unexam-
pied success as an Indian fighter and
builderup of waste places will rally
around him a solid West. He is the
one giant who could carry Nebraska
against Bryan and populism. His
liberal views on the rights of individu-
ais will attract the support Of the Ger
mans, while the slight tincture OF Celtic
blood in his veins derived from a noble
ancestry, will cause the Irish element
to stand for him as one man.
The Negroes admire Gen. Miles for
his intolerance Of race prejudices or
determinations while in command of
the regulars in the West and accredit
to him many Of the comforts which
they enjoyed during the Spanish
American War for it is known that he
more than once exercised his prestige
as ranking general to render credit to
the brave boys of the 9th and 10th
cavalry and oath and 25th infantry, in
whom he had adalways taken great pride.
