Gratis should not look for success in 1904.
As matter of fact, the small republican
differences do not get ia the surface to
the extent they really exist, on account OF
the necessity II standing by the admins
tration. There is really much greater dis
sension among the rank and file of the re-
publican voters than there Is among demo-
cratic voters. The republican leaders in
private conversation do not hesitate to cx-
prcss anxiety over the situation.
"Replblican extreme protectionIsts arc
opposed TO any revision OF the tariff. and
those who want II revised, desire the tariff
reduced on something In which their i'm
mediate localities bave no special interest
and maintained upon articles In which their
communities are getting share Of the
plunder. The result VIII be that nothing
will be done and the people Will decline 20
