Representative Dwight on Republican
Harmonv Next Year.

Representative John w. Dwight of the
thirtietb New York district, who is one Of
the best known of the upstate republican
politicians, is out in a carefully prepared in
terview on republican presidential politics
in New York. He says:
Il hear good deal of talk from >ny dem
ccratic friends about the decentralization of
the republican machine in New York state,
and about how easily they are going to de-
feat US next year. have taken good deal
of pains to talk with every republican l
know about his own attitude and about the
attitude of his particular friends. Many re-
pubicans bring rumors of how some other
republicans are going to desert the party,
but when l talk with the men under sus-
picion L find that not for an instant have
they contemplated voting the democratic
ticket. Our democratic friends Will find
themselves up against the same solid effect
i've organization in 1904 that has run over
them with great regularity in New York
state for the last ten years.
"The outlook In our state now that we
are upon the eve of another presidential
election is ten times more fiattering than
it was IN 1880. Certain people have done
their level best in trying to get up night
between Senator Platt and Gov. Odell 1t
strikes me that they do this because pri
mariIy they wish to injure President
Roosevelt, and, if possible, prevent his
nomination. They have failed in their at
tempts and will continue to fail. In his
long record as a republican leader In this
state Senator Platt has never advised the
republicans to knife the ticket
Il don't know who the republican can
didate for governor of New York will be
next fall. [ doubt If anybody else knows
at this time. Il do know, however. that
when the time comes to nominate him
the convention will pick out a great big
of the state will have absolute confidence
Along with him will be nominated state
ticket
Now, not all the candidates on that

Roosevelt or Gov. Odell, but they will be
great admirers of themselves, and they
will work for their own election and the
election of the ticket as whole with un-
diminished zeal. Along with them will be
full set of presidential electors and al
ternates and electors at large, every one
of whom will be anxious to win by a
handsome plurality. More than that, in
licans, who, while they may not be dead
in love with the state presidential
tickets, will be very enthusiastic for their
own success and with old fashioned ar
dor will work early and late to get out
the full party vote. Add to this the eff
forts of the $50 candidates for assembly
and various other candidates along down
the line, and 1T Is not difficult to antici-
pate that the republican organization In
the entire state will be found united and
enthusiastic.
The solid prosperity since 1897 has
shown us the difference between simon
pure democratic and simon pure republi-
can administration. The before and after
experience abides with us. And it will
abide with our financial brethren in Wall
street.
1--WE are having our hard shedding now,
and 1t isn't very hard at that. Our demo-
cratic friends are perhaps getting good
deal of fun out of 1t. Theirs will begin
when snowshoes are laid away. We Will
have our fun at their expense at about
the time the dove of peace attempts to
stand with one foot resting ON William
Jennings Bryan and the other on Arthur
Pue German.
Perhaps it is just as well for the coun-
try that We have our laugh then. They
cannot point with pride to any platform
on which they have stood in any cam
patgn since 1860. 1t is a fortunate thing
for the people of this nation that the re-
publicans are not confronted with a diff
6culty Of that nature
