POLITICAL GOSSIP.

In his letter of acceptance President Nc
Kinley referred to the lighting Filipinos as
a small fragment of two tribes out OF
eighty-two which are found in the ISL
ands. From a compilation of the latest
| information regarding the Philippines in
| eluded in report made by Senator Lodge
| last February, it appears that the Tagais
| and yisayans who are doing the most
OF the fighting, number 4.265, G00-or more
than half the estimated population OF the
! Philippines

organized the trusts. and they are impor-

can be expected from the Republicans"

Honors are even in the agricultural line

| there have just been sold 1900 bushels

/ a bushel above the market price, and be-
| fore the sale had been announced the
| bidding went Up to an advance of 10 cents
| a bushel. Republican campaign orators
can no longer make an argument out of
! the alleged good thing that Mr.. Bryan got
| out Of his oat crop.
| One OF the reasons assigned by A. r.
Lawton, of Savannah, for supporting Nc

toms opinion, would not recognize the

Referring to the prospects of the Con

--Trumbuu'' says in the New York Her
aid: The nomination of An excellent

! or every persuasion, makes ii possible for

! vigorous campaign been at once entered

| result would have followed But this
reasoning takes me right back to my

President Morse. of the New York lee
Trust. has shown that all the officers and
! directors of the trust are Republicans.
and that SO per cent of the stockholders
are of the same political faith This is
/ the solitary trust with which the Re9ub-
| iIeans undertake to twit the Democratic
| party.
Mayor Quincy. of Boston. has reach
ed home from Europe in time TO work as
| well as vote for the Democratic cause.
| I believe the election of Mr. Bryan is
| for the best interests of the country"
| says MIR Quincy, and I am going to do
| all that l can to aid the Democratic na-
| tional ticket" The paramount question
| OF the campaign in his view is imperial
| ism, and on that issue he is heart and
! soul with the Democratic platform
| Massachusetts Democratic Leaders are
| getting together again TO confront the
new peril of Mckinleyized republican
| ism, and the party is once mere getting
! into shape to give good account CT it
| self, as it did in the old fighting days of
| William z. Russell
| Senator Seweu of New Jersey says: II
/ don't know of such a thing as trust. I
have been diligently searching for a trust
| fer long time. and on the floor of the
I L
/ have the location of a trust pointed out
| to me, but I have never been aecommo-
dated"
| The Republican party says: First,
| there are no trusts; second trusts are
good things: third, the Republican party
will suppress the trusts.
| The Buffalo Times says: THE Re-
| publican campaign managers should get
out a big party button that could be seen
! at a glance. 4 big dollar mark for the
t centrepiece with some such motto around
! it as this: In the dollar we trust: get
| it or bust would be about the thing"
| Ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri, has OBJ
served: IF it is true that Odeu is count
| ing simply on the use of money to carry
| the State for himself and Mckinley, it is
apparent that the Republican candidate
| for Governor is not relying upon his per-
| sonal merits or the justice of his cause
| to win. Instead of relying on a fair,
| brave presentation of the issues of the
canvass to the people, he seems to be
| trying to secure victory through the
power of money. Contrast Odell's con-
| duct with that of his opponent Mr.
i Stanchdeld. 1 spent several days on the
! stump with Mr.. Stanchield in the interior
| of the State. His speeches are all on
| high plane. His canvass is being made
| in a brave and masterful manner He an,
swers all questions put to him ia an able,
| indisputabfe way. | had not known Mr..
Stanchfeld well before, but he has i'm
pressed me very much with his dignity Of
character, his sincerity, and ability. l
believe he will make a great Governor"
The woman whose name was used in
connection with the fake" yarn to the
effect that Bryan received Sf50, goo for in
sisting on the silver plank of the Kansas
City platform now comes forward with a
sworn statement that she gave out no
such information, and that she had no
knowledge of such a deal.
The Boston Traveller" is of the opinion
| that it will take a better voice than
| Bourke Coc2ran's to tell of all the in
| iquities of the Administration without
| breaking down.
Mr.. Bryan has specifically charged that
Representative John A T. Hull of Iowa,
Chairman of the House Committee on Mil
| itary Affairs, was also president of land
| and lumber company to exploit the Philip
| pine Islands; and the charge has not been
| denied. Mr.. Hull during the last session
of Congress admitted his connection with
