Venerable Ex-Governor believes That
the Lab0ring Glasses Are OPP
posed 10 Mckinley.

Ex-Cov. Boutwell, - as nrm as ever
that President Mckinley should be de-
feaied. and he Is also confident that he
will be. Mr.. Boutwsll has been stur-
dy opponent of imperialism from the
first. and he has the courage OF has con-
victions and opposes not only the re-
election of President Mckinley, but he
opposes every congressional candidate
who favors Imperialism. He does not
believe in 1t AT oil, and he regards II
as dangerous 10 the welfare OF the
country. This lifelong republican and
stout party man has squareiy broken
with the republican party and IS VIII
ing TO see it 90 down TO defeat partly
for its own good and still more for
the good OF the country. Mr.. Bout
well is quoted in New York as follows:
II believe Mckinley and Roosevelt VIII
be defeated There is "a strong sentiment
against the republican party among the
masses Mckinley will carry Massachu-
setts. but will lose New York The labor
ing classes, the Germans and the coloreo
men are against Mckinley. Inc LABOR ere
ment does not like his use OF troops. tne
Germans have many grievances. ana the
colored people will resent the administra-
tons neglect to punish the murders OF
colored men In the south. This feeling
against the administration Is not coniineu
, to any one locality II Will be found In an
| parts OF the United States. The trouble
| with the republican party Is that II mas 100
| few Roosevelts and too few Lodges 10
| stand up and say that this or that policy Is
right The Philadelphia ticket VIII De
| beaten"
Ex-Speaker Thomas b. Reed is an
other republican whose attitude to-
wards Mckinley is giving the party
some concern. Not only does he say
nothing about it favorably. but his
sharp criticisms in the legal and other
| circles in which he moves have an in
fuence. and many of his friends are
said to be turning against the ticket
that they would otherwise have sup
ported. One man who gave $lO.OOO 10
the republican campaign fund Tour
wears ago il is said will donothlng now
and this change is attributed TO Reed Z
influence. When such reports as these
were shown TO the ex-speaker he sim
ply remarked that he supposed tha'
every man had a right to his opinion
1t is not probable now that Mr.. heee
will support Bryan openly. but he IA
no, likely to do much in favor OF Nc
Kinley. He does not believe in the al
ministration policy at all. he is no
an admirer of Hanna. and he has M
particular love for the president. IL
is practically opposed TO the whoi'
administration and many OF its friends
and he does not hesitate 10 let IL o.
known. Senator Hoar will. OF course
give a perfunctory support to the re
publican ticket because he is canci
date for reelection at the hands
the next legislature. but the logic o
his position puts him outside OF M
party. and his own influence Will D
counted against himself. There WI
! be thousands Of men who have hereto
: fore acted with the republican part
and who will be against il thas yea
! Some of them will not hasten 70 let
r be known. but the facts will come on
I gradually. Meantime the rank and NJ
E OF the republican party who are not
> accord with The administrations po
lev will show their disposition 10 OF
pose il and to oppose all congression'
candidates who favor imperialism
I There is 10 be new alignment IN
