Senator Dubois of Idaho has de-
termined upon a ticket which he
believes would prove successful.
1t is Alton Il. Parker, of New York,
and Benjamin F. Shively, Of Indi
ana. These two men represent
pivotal states, New York and Indl
ana,' said Mr.. Dubois With their

feel confident we could carry the
country, In order that the demo
Gratis may win next year we must
carry such states as New York in
the east and Indiana in the middle
vest. We could gain nothing by
the nomination Of Richard Oiney,
Tor instance, for it is not likely he
could carry his own state. Judge
Parker aud Judge Shively are high
grade men who would win the re
spsct and the support Of the voters
Asked what influence Mr.. Bryan
would have in the convention, Mr.
Dubois said, Mr.. Bryan must

d the unanimous support Of his
party. While some Of the issues
which he represents are no longer
occupying attention, il cannot be
gainsaid that Mr.. Bryan's great per
.ouality must be considered. Were
he a candidate he would probably
be nominated, but | am in a posi-
ion to say that he will not be 81
candidate" Referring 10 the i
'ues Mr.. Dubois said, II think the
democrats will advocate a reduction
II the tariff, a remodeling Of the
system. The present law is unjust.
No man who is posted c%ontroverts
he fact that many Of our products
are being sold abroad for less than
they sell in this country. We
hould not reduce the duties To-
much because we are under great
expense, aud much Of the custom
receipts l. necIei to defrsy current
expenses, but there should be a re
modelling.
There is every evidence that those.
