| Politics is warming up somewhat but
it is reported that it is far from ussum-
ing the interest that it did in 1896 A
gentleman that travels great deal says
that political subjects are not discussed
to any great extent on the trains. Dur.
ing 1896 there was almost constant dis.
cussion by travellers of political ques-
tions who now seem to have little inclin.
alton to talk Oh those lines. The reason
| it is presumed, is that there is little com
plant about conditions, while in 1896
everything seemed wrong. Street dis.
cussion of political questions is becoming
somewhat interesting but, as a rule,
there are not as many on the streets,
with time hanging heavily on their
hands and willing and ready to talk
politics or discuss almost any question
for pastime as was the case in 1895,
The campdign is opening up very
quietly compared to that four years ago.
But, nevertheless, there is probably as
much or more earnestness than at that
time.
