Who Will Be The
Next President OF
The United States
How The Question Interests
Puerto Rico.

There are but two political parties
in the United States, whe have the
slightest chance of nominating
successful candidate for the Presi
dency, the Republican, and the De
mOcratic.
There are numerous other NatiO-
nal parties in the states, each of
whom goes through the form every
four years Of nominating full Presi-
dental ticket-that is, President and
Vice President.
Among these are the Populist
Party, which seas quite numerous at
one time and elected taco q. S. Sc.
nators, and several Congressman,
the Prohibition Party, the Womans
Suffage Party, which nominated
Belya Lockwood last time, the So
cialist- Labor Party, &.
But none of these are taken Sc
riously, and the candidate of one of
Ghe two first named parties will GER
tainly be the next President.
This narrOWs the contest down alb
sOlutely to three men and practically
to two.
But one name will be presented
to the Republican Convention in
Philadelphia, that of VIM. Nc Kin.
ley, who is now President. He will,
in all probability be nominated una
nimously, unless some state delega-
tiOns may give an "hOnorary vote"
10 some "favored SOM.
For the democratic nominee but
two names are mentioned, that of
Admiral Dewey, and VIM. j. Bryan
There seems to be no organized
support whatever for the former; and,
aside from the halSo of his great deeds
the only foundation for his alleged
SshOom~ seems to be the fact that he
married the sister of John r. Nc
Lean Of Ohio, who was candidate
for the democratic nomination in 1896
before the convention which nomi.
mated Bryan.
Now, the people of the United
States might possibly be induced to
make Admiral Dewey President on
his own merits, but certainly they
will not do so to enable John Il. Nc
Lean to "get even" with Bryan;
so much for Dewey.
1t follows, therefore, that Bryan
will again be the Democratic candi-
date and that the race will once
more be between him and Nc Kin
lev. as in 1896.
TIE issues on both sides will be
different ana the results CANNOT pe
told with certainty.
Puerto Rico will watch the cam.
paign with interest and patiently
await the result CT the vote in No
vember next. whichever is elected
he will have great and important
influence over the interests of the
Island. He will have the appoint
ment Of the Civil Governor, of all
the principal officials of the govern
snment, and Of recommending to
Congress such changes in legislation

his forehnger was caught by the knife on
the machine. While his hand was thus
held fast by the knife the big binding
needle came down and went clear through
his hand, Irvine and all
The pan, together with the intense
heat, was a little more than Mr.. Lloyd
could stand and he dropped to the ground
unconscious. He was still bound TO the
machine by the needle and Irvine, which
haa pierced the middle of his hand. He
