SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 2, 1904

SHORTLY BEFORE the adjournment OF
the last session of Congress, Senator
German. in an interview with repre-
sentative OF the Gazette, said he was
much more interested in thesuccess ofthe
democratic larty this fall than he was in
the question of his own candidacy for
the presidency. Every move OF the
Senator since then has been in conform
;tv with that statement and his friends
NOW know that he is foremost among
the party leaders in their endeavors to
choose the strongest man as the demo-
cratic nominee by the st. Louis conven-
ton. 1t is even stated that Mr.. German
has admitted to close friends within the
last few DAYS that Mr.. Cleveland was
personally Objectionable to him, bad
been his olitical enemy for years, and
that it would be Objectionable to him
personally to see Mr.. Cleveland nomi-
mated. but that under the circumstances
il was the duty of a genuine democrat
to attempt to nominate the man who
could win. This is true party loyalty
and worthy of imitation by all good
democrats.

cediug safely toward the northeast.
