one of the few old political warhorses
left in the senate, and one CT the
men prominently before the country
as vice presidential timber, is at the
Knutsfcrd, with Mrs. Culiom and a
small party. The others are Miss
Fisher, the Misses Ridgely. nieces of
the senator, and w. Malloy, his pri-

to the Pacific coast to see friends and
relatives, and are travelling in their
private car. says the Salt Lake Trib-
une. They came in from Denver over
the Rio Grande last night and immed-
lately took a carriage and drove to
the Tabernacle to hear the organ.
GRAND OLD MAN
Senator Cullom, who is in the neigh
borhood of TO- is hale and hearty, his
grip is strong, his eye bright, his
voice strong and clear. while his face
radiates good health anG good humor.
He was in a iovial mood when seen
last night by a Tribune man, and af-
ter owning up that he didn't like to
be interviewed but liked to see the
boys. talked about politics, national
and international.
THE FINANCE BILL
'sThe finance bill, eh? Well, ] don't
know anything about it, I'm the
chairman of the Committee on For
eign Affairs and not connected with
the Finance committee at all. Mine
is about as much as one man can tend
to, anyway. l have seen the Presi-
dent and the members of sub-com-
mittees of the Finance committee,
ana talked with them about it.
DOUBTS CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
They have formed no bill as yet,
but will undoubtedly hang out re-
port, whether before the meeting of
congress or not can't say They will
probably advise certain things, but
doubt if any action is taken by con-
gress, for this reason: The people at
large are afraid to have the money
question tampered with for fear the
money itself will all go from one part
of the country to the other. At pres
ent we are very prosperous, and the
bankers, merchants anu manufactur-
ers don't want the thing mixed up
Wall street may have some say in the
nominations on both sides. but not
much.
"President Roosevelt will be nomi-
mated with no opposition. With the
present demoralized condition OF the
Democracy he will win as If he had
no opposition. 1t is a certainty.
GROVER HAS FRIENDS
But | think that if Mr.. Cleveland
we're nominated, and | doubt if he is,
he would poll large vote. The peo-
pie like him, just as the politicians
ana bosses hate him. lie mas the
faculty of turning up at the popular
Semand, and then the people over
ride the bosses. Why, my dear sir,
in the last year or so of his term
there were not more than three sena-
tors who stuck to him or had any
thing to do with him at all. The
others left him alone.
GOOD WORDS FOR GRAY
Senator, now Judge Gray, was one
OF them. He is spoken of as second
choice TO Cleveland. | have warm
personal friendship for Judge Gray
and cant think of an adverse criti-
cism to make, except that | don't be-
lieve in Democracy's principles. NO
that's right. | wouldn't be where
am, would !, if l did? Judge Gray Is
an elegant gentleman, an able jurist
a clear-headed, far-sighted, conserva-
tive man who would make an excel
lent president.
CAN'T BEAT THE PARTY
German would be good, and Olney
would be good. / am on good terms
with them all personally. and l know
them. But there is no question of the
success of the Republican party.
TURKEY AMI TROUBLE
Ever since | have been on the For
eign Affairs committee Turkey has
been the source of trouble, massacre
and bloodshsd. i
