William c. Whitney.

to so arrange his affairs that his re-
tirement is possible.
His mind up to now was the one
that guided all these vast interests.
He was the controlling factor-the
mainstay.
One of the organizations built up by
Mr.. Whitney is the Metropolitan Street
Railway system. When he took UP the
work the street railways of New York
consisted of a lot of independent horse
car lines, most of them at open war
with one another.
He organized syndicate that gath
cred in one line after an other, INSTALL
ing cables, then electricity, until the
Metropolitan system today controls
nearly every line in New York.
Politics have played a wide part in
the life of Mr.. Whitney. 1t was he who
promoted the candidacy of Grover
Cleveland for Democratic nominee for
Presidency in 1854, TO the great dis
gust of John Kelly, then the leader of
Tammany hall.
Cleveland was elected and Mr.. Whit
ney was made Secretary of the Navy.
One of his first acts was to urge the
building up of the Navy, and the con-
struction of better and larger war
ships. 1t was to the work of Mr.. Whit
ney that the Navy of the United States
today owes its place as naval power
of the world. 1t was the White Squad
ron, built under Mr.. Whitney's admin
ishation as Secretary of the Navy,
that started the work of reorganiza-
tion and building up of America S
naval fleet.
In 1892 he again managed the Cleve
land campaign.
He is an enthusiastic sportsman,
president of the Saratoga Racing AS
ISOLATION, and owns one of the hand
soonest estates in Long Island, at
Wheatley Hills.
1t contains a mile racing track,

In Paris they are much the same
as concerns their street dresses. They
all sweep tie sidewalks and gather

up in their homes and the germs float
off in the air.

ing. Leonard A. Rosing, the Demo

principal speaker and he outlined in
detail the policies his party stands for.

In convention, applied Democratic prin-
clples to pending questions and took
their stand accordingly. The platform
so adopted endorsed without reserva-

said that at some future time would

views more fully upon the various
questions touched upon by that plat.
form.
NATIONS LIBERTY MUST -.
FOLLOW NANoN'S FLAG.
One Of the questions of national i'm.
portance which the people must con-
slider and decide upon il this campaign
relates to the very foundation 'Dfinci-
pies of our government.
Shall we continue true to.the prin-
ctples OF seh-government? . Shall we
continue in the old faith that all Just
governments are founded on the con.
sent of the governed? Shall we, as
Americans, maintain that wherever
the American flag floats asthe emblem
OF sovereignty, there it must mean the
same constitutional liberty and the
application of the same governmental
principles which has made this nation
the<greatest world power today?
Greatest, not because of it's arma-
ments, not because OF its magnificent
navy and it's heroic army, but greatest
because of it's fealty to justice, truth
and liberty; greatest in having deve1-
oped the highest type of the individ-
ual through assuring liberty in relig-
1ous faith, freedom in political action,
and in enforcing personal responsible
aty while protecting personal rights.
