The people of this country were
overwhelmingly in favor of sound
money, law and order and a continual
ton Of that policy which stands for

aid of those who are generally termed
sound money Democrats or Gold Demo
Gratis, but whom ] call American citi-
gems. all combined to bring about thi:
result.
Nebraska was the greatest victory
Of all. We had a hard fight in that
state. We went for it for all we We're
worth. and while we did our utmost
and hoped for the he>t ~. did not OK
pect 10 carry il.
we g3v4. the campaign west Of the
mississippi river our special attention
and found the response to our efforts

began tc entertain serious perhaps |
should say cnt -rful-hopes of carrying
Hryan's own state.
We have carried Kentucky ana wc

How about changes in the cabinet
senator" Mr.. Hanna was asked.
You won't get Il word out Of me
about cabinet positions. 1 have moth
ing to say about that. II is none of
my affair"
What do you think Of RooseveIts

Il; has been announced that you arc |
j candidate for the Presidency in
1904
Il: find the man who started that !

al bout that or allow anyone else to do !
it. 1t is too absurd
DO you mean TO say YOU would de- |
cline the nomination If il was ten

Well, something very like it. But |
I don't wish to discuss that at all. X |
