Presidency. 1t is said that Mr. Roosevelt took with
him large number of newspaper editorial clip
pings the authors Of which uniformly express the
opinion that Bryan would be beaten far worse in
1900 than he In 1896 Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that
the Democrats would stand fair chance of win
ming with the right candidates in the State and
Nation, and he would doubtless vote against Gov
ernor Roosevelt his own nephew, with Democrat
at the head of the State ticket that suited him.
Before sailing for Europe Mr. Roosevelt said to
a Tribune reporter:
Bryan is not Democrat. That is the reason

gang are Populists. pure and simple. They don't
know the definition OF Democracy, and they have
