MR.. ROoSEVBLT'S 3 REMARK

He Bestows His Approval Upon a
Waiting Country.
New York, Nov. 7-Governor
Roosevelt though he did not retire
until after midnight was up in good
season today at his home in Oyster
Bay. The governor made this
statement, commenting on the Re
publican victory:
81 rejoice beyond measure the way
the vote has gone. President Nc
KinleY had to face the most serious
and complicated problems that have
been faced by any President since
Lincoln or by any President a gen.
GRAFTON before Lincoln, do not
sec how there could have been any
material improvement in the way he
faced and solved each OF them. 1t
therefore seems to me a perfectly
fair test OF the way the people are
willing to back up a man who has
done suoh difficult and all-important
work for the nation. / think that
the supreme capacity for successful
self government in a nation is clear
ly shown bv the struggle through
which the nation has just passed.
To have failed to have endorsed
President Mckinley would have
been calamity comparable only to
q failure to endorse President Lin
coin in 1864. All farsighted and
patriotic American people as a whole
have shown their good sense and alb
solute adherence to the cause of hon
esty and national honor.
Again it should be a matter of the
deepest qualification at the way those
Democrats stood for sound money.
They having joined hands with their
Republican brethren and share the
credit for victory which represents
far more than any partisan victory
In this contest for true Americanism,
the men who believe in it stood to-
gether without regard to locality oil
place of birth, without regard tc
creed or race origin, without regard
TO occupation or anything else ex
