II would have been somewhat singular
II the foreign business world had not
learned some narrow selnshness. or at
least been inspired to some decided de-
fensive measures. after continued expert
ence with our unfair American protective
methods and government enforced favorlt

II has been regarded by our manufac-
turing concerns as quite the proper thing
for our government to ignore all foreign
competition in purchasing government
supplies OF every description, or In
building wayships. or contracting for pub

AS TO ELECTION RESULTS.

The Post IS In receipt OF a communica-
ton from respected source which says
THE Pest has printed the estimates and
forecasts OF others with regard to the
results OF the coming presidential cleo
ton. but 1t has been noted and remarked
that you have expressed no opinion of
your own. There are thousands in Texas
who have confidence in your judgment,
and I hope it is not too much to ask you
for an expression of your opinion as to
results. Can't you give US a list OF States
which, in your opinion. will be for Bryan
and also those for Mckinley"
In reply to this courteous request, The
Post has 20 say that any expression at
this time as to final results is merely a
matter OF opinion. II is anybodys race,
and no living man knows with any degree
OF certainty as to which party will win
The truth is, n~ither party is confident
claims to the contrary Notwithstanding
What IS certain and reasonably known o.
all men may be set down as follows:

A CAMPAIGN SYMPTOM.

AS an evidence of how things political
are in Ohio at the present time. the fol-
lowing telegram sent from Cincinnati to
the New York Herald. a paper that is
strongly supporting Mckinley and Roose,

Although the Dayton and Hamilton
speeches were added at the last monent,
there were vast crowds to greet Mr. Bryan

considerable capital out of this assertion
and are declaring editoriaiiy tnat us
present silence regarding expansion anu

II is true that Mr.. Cleveland will not
at this time. consent to give e%pFesion
to his views, but II he holds to the op'h-
ions expressed on January ., 1872 there
is no doubt that he is at variance Win

surprising that the politicians have over

disgust with the policy of shooting er-

matter OF surprise to me that the re-

overlooked
The remedy is obvious and simple.
The misguided inhabitants OF our an
nexed territory who prefer something
different from the plan for their con-
troll which we propose or VINO oppose
our designs in their behalf, should be
slaughtered. The killing of natives
has been a feature of expansion since
expansion began. and our imperiailstlc
enthusiasm should not be checked by
, the prospective necessity OF Destroy

thousand Fi!pinos.
This sh 1uld only be regarded as
one stage in transcendentally great

the campaign. This vote is. admittedly,
worrying the managers and leaders OF
both parties, because 1t will ultimately
decide the contest. This silent, uncom-

the question of who will be president
depends now upon the course OF those
