TIE POLITICAL FORECAST.

The political conditions at present are
unprecedented in the history OF the coun-
try. 1t is undeniable that very great
many of the Democrats are strongly ad-
verse to voting for Bryan. 1t is equally
undeniable that large number of Re
publicans are dissatisfied with Mckinley.
Yet it seems as certain as anything can be
in politics, that Bryan will be nominated
without opposition at Kansas City, and
Mckinley at Philadelphia, and that each
will dictate whom his running mate shall
be. 1t is unprecedented in the history of
the country that great National Conven-
tons should be merely meetings to ratify
the selections made by those who assume
TO be the party leaders. In all our previous
years such thing would in itself have
produced the liveliest opposition from the
plain people who do the voting, and who
would feel cut off from all expression of a
choice as TO whom they should cast their
votes for. The time when the party ma
chine seems 10 have the surest cinch on
their voters is the one when storms may
be looked for, and this fact gives TO those
who really think on such matters much
Significance in the movements which have
been made TO bring out ex-President Harri-
son, and Admiral Dewey. There is no
doubt that if Gen. Harrison were properly
brought out lie would be an ideal candidate
He gave this country one Of the very best
Administrations it ever had, and in char
acter, abilities, patriotism and statesman
ship he ranks among the greatest men
this country has ever produced. He was
defeated in 1892, not by any dissatis-
faction with his Administration, but by the
influence which McKinley's friends have
most reason to dread in the coming cam
paign. The office-holders who wanted to
retain their places went to Minneapolis in
such numbers as to dominate the con-
vention, and prevent any other candidate
having a chance. The result was that
enough Republican voters were dissatis-
fled TO throw the election to Cleveland. by
either staying at home or voting for Gen.
Weaver or BidwelI. The statistics show
this very clearly. In 1888, out of every
The National tribune., 1900-04-12

LOO votes cast 553 went to Cleveland, and
544 to Harrison. But in 1892 out of every
1900 votes Cleveland received 555, while
Harrison received but SIT, and Weaver
lob, and Bidwell 90. In other words, in
1883 Harrison received 47.S3 per cent. of the
votes cast, and Cleveland 1859. Four
years later Cleveland's per centage of the
popular vote fell TO 1898, but Harrison's
fell to 1924, while Weaver received $40
per cent, and Bidwell 2.17 per cent. Thus
it will be seen that while Cleycland's per
centage fell very sharply, Hauison's fell
farther. Half OF those who voted for
Weaver would have given Harrison the
election. Even the relatively small num-
Der who voted for Bidwell might have
given him the election. There can be no
doubt that if nominated today Harrison
would poll very much larger vote than
he ever did, and possibly more than could
be polled by any other Republican.
Admiral Dewey's announcement of his
candidacy has of course been received
with much disfavor by the cuckoo organs
OF both parties. Some of them have been
actually derisive. This was to be ex-
pected. 1t is quite too early, however, to
sneer at it. Its potential value will be
determined later, and by conditions which
can not now be foreseen. 1t will depend
largely on the Admiral himself. At pres
ent he is talking too much, or at least some
body is talking too much. Let him be as
silent as Gen. Grant was in 1868. The
platform of Manila Bay, May 1, 1898,
should be enough for him at present, lust
as Appommattox was for Gen. Grant
The people all know what Admiral George
Dewey stands for. 1t would be well for
him to let them think it over a little while
for themselves. He need not be disturbed
by what either the ultra Mckinley or ultra
Bryan papers may say. They could not
be expected to approve of even an angel of
| light, if he should enter the arena. 1t is
their business not to approve Of him. They
were all only too glad to seize upon and
| magnify such mistakes and alleged mis-
| takes that the Admiral has already made.
They scented danger from him, before the
echo OF his guns ceased rolling across
| Manila Bay.

Chief Shaw reached Wash
ington last week, on his return from his
Southern trip, and expressed himself de-
lighted with all that he saw on his tour.

here, and they visited the President and
members Of the Pension Committees OF
both Houses, and represented to them the
urgent necessity of immediate action to
remedy the intolerable condition of things

The National tribune., 1900-04-12

AS usual, the Western Passenger Asso-
citation is acting the hog with reference to
rates to the National Encampment at
Chicago The Central Passenger Asso-
citation, which includes all the roads east
of Chicago, very promptly voted to give a
cent-a-mile rate, as was the understanding g
and agreement when it was voted to hold
the National Encampment at Chicago.
But the Western Passenger Association,
which represents the roads west of Chicago,
has gone back on its promises, and voted
to ALLOW only a one-fare rate. This is an
old trick of the Western Passenger Asso-
citation, and has been practiced on several
EhcampmentS. At the time of the ST.
Paul Encampment, the Chicago Great
Western Railroad broke away from the
Western Passenger Association, and car
ried out its original promise to give one
cent-a-mile rate. This forced the other
Western railroads to come down and make
a similar rate Unfortunately, the vet
Grams did not, as they should have done
concentrate their patronage on the road
which had befriended them and made the
break, but divided it with the other road
and thus show their appreciation of its
services. Now the'question will be whether
we can get another road to break this agree
ment, and give us the rate which was
promised if we would go to Chicago.

more faith in humanity than his partner.
"He wouldn't be such a sneak as that.
Besides, he haint any more love for rebel
officers than we have. He's more afraid
