THE PASSING THRONG.

Senator Boes Penrose. OF Pennsylvania when
seen at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. said:
Il feel confident that the Repub-
SENATOR lcan ticket Will be elected, and
PENROSE that in the Electoral College Nc
CONFIDENT. Kinley and Roosevelt will receive
a substantial and conclusive ma
jority Bryan and Stevenson. The coal strike
in Pennsylvania. it is everywhere rumored this
afternoon IS practically at end. II this is so
emily had no great political influence either in or
out Of yb It WAS et too R ii should
have affected the political situation shall be glad
move this factor from the contest Outside OF the
strike everything looks well In Pennsylvania and
of the country also. We expect to win the cleo
ton. and to win it IN an emphatic manner.
Ex-Governor H. c. Warmoth, of Louisiana, is at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and when seen there yes
terday he said: The great bust
PROSPERITY ness prosperity that Louisiana to-
IN gether with the rest of the coun-
LOUISIANA try. has been enjoying for the last
few years shows no sign Of abate-
ment. This is proved by the increased clearances
of our banks. The clearances In the banks of New
Orleans are especially heavy. and bear witness
to the great trade that flows through the Crescent
City The present advanced price of cotton-t Is
selling at over 10 cents-means much TO the
South-more to other sections than to Louisiana.
But il will bring a great deal Of money to the
Southern States, and thus prove OF beneht to them
in Louisiana this year, and the price sugar is
bringing is satisfactory to US so Inat what We
lack in cotton expect to make up In sugar.
Taken all in all. the trade and business outlook in
Louisiana could not well be better than II Is at
this time"
Touching politics Ex-Governor WarmOth said:
II am, of course. not familiar with other parts
of the Union 1 am with LOuisi-
SOUTH ana. From what l have heard,
FAVORS however, I do not In the least
EXPANSION. doubt that Mckinley and Roosevelt
will be triumphantly elected. I do
believe that we need fear that the American
people will intrust the guiding of the destinies Of
the Republic TO Bryan and his confreres. From
electoral point of view, of course, the South is
not considered by the Republicans. We DO not get
electoral votes from that section We do not eN-
pect to. Yet the South many of the issues holds
with the Republicans. From what know the
South favOrS the policy Of expansion, and we're IL
called to vote this only IL would probably go
Republican. Certainly its interests lie wholly with
the policy of expansion. TO no part OF the country
does expansion mean more than to the South on
the silver question am not familiar with the
attitude of the people of the OF the South
pie. in my opinion. and have never been
for silver. This they showed when they elected
Foster to the Senate Mr.. Foster ii openly
charged and believed, favored gold, and this he
denied, refusing make any statement
the question In spite of this attitude of Mr. Eos
the silver question. he nevertheless sent
to represent Louisiana i'm the United States Senate
We hope to secure two and probably three Repub-
lican Congressman in our State"
