secret movements hostile to the nOmina-

Republican national convention 1t is very
well understood that there is a cOnsidera-

and it is quite safe to assume that none of
the trust magnates desire his nomination.
The antagOnism of these was expected
from the moment the president showed his
determination to enforce the laws Find

trolling the great combinations turned
against him and doubtless are losing no
opportunity TO make their opposition effec-
tive Without being disposed to under
rate the influence of this hostility to the
president we do not believe it Will be able
to prevent his nomination.
But it is said that certain prominent Re
publicans. leaders in their respective
states, are plotting against the president.
It is difficult to believe that the statement
has any substantial foundation, for men
named in this connection have been under
stood to be most friendly to MI. Roose-

Whelming sentiment of the Republican
party in favor Of his nomination. More

The standard of the social conscience
