A CONTRAST.

In the July number of Scrib.e1s Mag
azine, General John B. Gordon has an
article on Gettysburg In which ne de-
scribes his entrance into the enemy's coun-

Valley of Pennsylvania. through winch

MYSTERIES AT OYSTER BAY.

There has been an assembling OF proml-
inent politicians and party managers Of
the Republican stripe at Oyster Bay dur
ing the past week. First there was Mr..
Hanna, and as 1t is we'll known that the
relations between the Ohio statesman and
the President have been Just a little bit
strained Of late. there has been much GU
riosity to learn the occasion for the hur-
ried visit of the former to the latter. and
the results OF said visit. but the news
paper correspondents seem to have failed
to get at the straight OF 1t all. There
are reports to the effect that the real OBJ
1ect of the calling OF Mr.. Hanna to Oyster
Bay was to get him. II possible, to con-
sent to hold on to the craftsmanship of
the party. and there is a further report
that he did consent, but this has been
contradicted.
AS soon as Mr.. Hanna left. large dele
CATION of western politicians arrived at
the Presidents home and broke bread"
with him. All that can be learned by the
correspondents is that they offered Mr..
Roosevelt great deal OF advice.
Then came the most significant visit
of ALL Ex-Governor Murray Crane, Of
Massachusetts. reached Oyster Bay on
Thursday night by special invitation. and
was closeted all day Friday with the
President. 1t leaked out through the cor
respondents that the ex-Governor's nvi-
tation was due In n large measure to his
we'll known reputation for making no
blunders In public and political affairs.
either In his own action or In giving ad-
vice to others,
The trained eye OF the politician. as we'll
as that OF the newspaper correspondent,
sees IN all this sign that the President
has came to realize the fact that he has OF
late been trine too strenuous for his
own good, and that he is beginning to
find out that while his brand OF strenu-
business may be all right for n bronco
buster, and Just the very thing for a
rough rider, 1t may not be altogether to
the advantage Of candidate for tho
high office of President of the United
States.
1t is quite evident. on the whole, that
the party managers have been asking
the President to go little slower along
some lines. and he has at last condescend-
ed to listen to advice. Some OF his most
ardent admirers are prepared to admit
that the President is sadly in need of
some such counsellor as Ex-Governor
MURRAY Crane.
