Near Approach of
Party Conventions in
the United States.
More Interest Being Aroused.

As the time for holding the Natio
nal Conventions of the two great
Political parties in the United States
to nominate candidates for the Pre-
sidency draiss neaver, lines are being
more closely drawn and more interest
is observed in political circles.
OF course, in the Republican party
no name is thought of, much less
spoken of, except that OF President
Mckinley. But many of the old,
shrswd, and experienced leaders Of
the party are beginning to fear that
everything is no: a. roseate in hue
as soEe time since. So m any things
have happened, which while seemin-
gly unimportant in themselVss-and
things which to thinking men can
east no personal blame on the ad.
ministratiOn-yet may, in the aggrs
gate produce some effect upon the
popular mind.
Take the Porto Rican question,
for instance. As 3 matter of fact,
the administration Ieaders, both in
the Cabinet and in Congress had a
most difficult problem to treat.
The President had declared in his
annual message to Congress that
there should bs free trade, between
Porto Rico and the United States.
Subsequent events, and 4 careful
study of the situation convinced these
responsible for legislation in beth
Houses that free trade was imprac.
ticable, cutting eff, as it would nearly
all the revenue of the Island. They
saw that however desirable tree trade
would be, that, for the present, At
least, there must be . tariff, however
low, and they acted accordingly.
They probably did the best they
could under the circumstances, and
YET great portion of the press and a
large number of the people felt at
the time, and doubtless still feel that
it is an anomalous state of affairs to
treat Porto Rico as foreign country,
even if only in reference to the tariff.
This il but one instance. There
is the Philippine War, which by its
prolOngation is beginning to become
very unpopular.
Then there are the unfortunate
Cuban scandals, which, while GER
tainly the President cannot properly
be held responsible for them in any
aoay, have yet had a certain effect
upon the public mind.
Other matters might be mentioned
but these are sufficient to accsunt
for some slight unsasiness among
Republican leaders. At the same
time they feel that they cannot lose
if the democrats, as new seems GER
tain, renomina,e Bryan, and the
old issue 81 :rsa silver again comes
to the front. On this issue the Iso-
pie are unquestionably with the Re
publican Party.
However, the candidates scill
soen be nominated, platforms made,
and the issues joined, after which
the question is in the hands Of the
electors, whs win decide it in Nov
enber next.
