think 1t too early TO discuss matters Of this
character, II may be recalled that the late

OF New York at a dinner of the Ohio So

tl"men who discussed Mr. Strong's avail
apility on that social occasion did not take
shape until 1894. Politicians do not form
their plans twenty-four hours before an
event. They are generally good deal
ahead OF time, very much more ahead of
time than the average voter suspects
