States capable of stirring up more controversy than Colonel Henry Wa
 terson, the distinguished gentleman
 who presides over the destinies of
 the Louisville Courier-Jour- Col.
 Waterson warmly defended Colonel
 Harvey of Harpers Weekly, whose
 support was displeasing to MT. Will
 son before the Baltimore convention.
 MT. Waterson has discovered that the
 Monroe Doctrine is mo

Waterson says. We must either banish the Monroe Doctrine or keep it alive, and our latter day policy does not 1t in with the Monroe Doctrine" Senator Bristow of Kansas does not believe
  the principles upon which it was and declares such thing would be the most unpopular thing that could be proposed in this coun- try. ''The man in public life who suggests this will live to regret it, be says, to which Senator Poindexter of Washington adds: The Monroe now as it was when it was inaugural ed, and sounded the warning to Eu- rope to keep hands off this part of the world Senator Burton of Ohio declared: T am not one of those who believe that the Monroe Doctrine has reached the stage of decadence md should be cast aside" Senator Bacon, chairman of the Senate com mfttee on Foreign Relations ex- presses his opinion as follows: "1 10 not agree with the suggestion that he Monroe Doctrine is effete, and 10 longer of value to the United States It's provisions are, in my opinion, now more useful to the peace and safety of the United States, than it was in the days or and the Holy Alliance. exploded at the mere suggestion: the Monroe Doctrine?
