There has been a lull in national politics for the past two weeks, owing no doubt to the illness and death of Senator Hanna. His untimely and regrettable passing clears the atmosphere, so far as the Republican side of the house is concerned, and there is little doubt now of President Roosevelt's nomination, perhaps by acclamation. For vice president, on the same ticket, it seems highly probable that Senator Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana will be named. Indiana is debat able ground, and at the same time the state has a reputation for standing by its own. This condition would give the Republicans an advantage because Senator Fairbanks is a very popular man in his state and with him as a candidate for second place it is very likely that the state would be safely Republican, whereas under other circumstances the Democrats might carry it. Besides, Senator Fairbanks is a very strong man otherwise. He is a well equipped individual and commands the respect of a number outside the ranks of his own party. At this writing the Indications are that the ticket will be Roosevelt and Fairbanks. 4 Jit has The Democratic situation name changed but little, although the of Cleveland has been brought to the attention of the people by the publica- tion in last weeks Saturday Evening Post, and reproductions in condensed form by the several press associations, of a letter in which he declares that Democratic success can be achieved at the coming election if the right course Is pursued. The letter of Mr. Cleveland speaks very strongly the of the repeating policy against 181H5 vice as something worthy of serious consideration. One portion of tin letter ought to meet with Bryan's cemmcndalion. and that Is the stand he takes against the or colonizaimperialism, linn of his tion. the pot letter alluding to that matter, Cleveland, like policy of I:i Bryan, makes it. a paramount issue, and he has some very timely advice auent. the adhering to tin time honored traditions ami policies of government laid down by the constiutiton makers. On this matter Bryan and Cleveland will no doubt agree. .4 .4 The Brooklyn Eagle lias been sending a staff correspondent, all over the southern states, investigating I be feelings of Democrats in relation to the nominee. Up to date he has confined his attentions to a discussion of the relative merits of Parker, Cleveland, Gorman and Hearst. The people of Maryland would liko to see Gorman nominated as a matter of state pride, although since the election of Isadore Raynor to the senate It is quite likely that Gorman stock has declined somewhat. Outside of Maryland Gorman possesses no elements of strength that are not displayed by any of the other candidates. The south will ho for the nominee, no matter who lie is, hut of course there is a preference. Parker seems to meet with favor and Cleveland has quite a following. Hearst joes not seem to have the strength that his papers claim he has, and tho southern delegation will not come up very strong for him. Jt California will send a Hearst delegation to the convention, so advices from that section state. These advices do not come from tho Iloarst papers, It either, hut are taken ippears that Hearst has worked up a ;cod bit of sentiment for himself In ills homo state. It is thought that Nebraska will send a Hearst delegation, because of Bryans well known friendship for him and that some of the delegates from Chicago will be fa vorable to him. In New York he is not taken seriously, except by the members of the unions, with which he is quite popular. From all indications, unless Cleveland Is a candidate, the New Yoik delegation will be for Parker, with Pennsylvania a close second. it must be remembered that these states will have the unit rule and generally exercise it. The southern states will doubtless follow the lead from-others- . of New York. Thus far there has been little said about the nominee for second place on the ticket. lie will doubtless be chosen from some state that is debatable ground, and will hail from cither Illinois or Indiana, no doubt. It may bo that Hearst will be considered a good man for second place and be nominated. That he would accept there seems to be no room for doubting. People might as well keep money at home by paying Insurance premiums to a good local company as send it east for the benefit of the people there. |
