On. Charles H. Orosvcnor, member
of congress and one of the president's
most Intimate friends, says a special
dispatch, was asked how he viewed
the outlook In Ohio, and what he con
sidered would lie the majority for
Mc Kin ley.
"I believe," answered den. Grosvo
nor, "that tiie majority for McKlnley
In Ohio will be very largo, larger than
It was four years ago, and I have rea
sons based upon observation and
knowledge which Justify that opinion."
"How do you think the congressional
delegation will .'and, r.nd what will
be the complexion of the house?"
I think the congreslonal delegation
will stand K Republicans to five Dem
ocrats and probably It will lie 17 Re
publicans to four Democrats. I have
no reason to doubt that the house will
be Republican.
IMPERIALISM A FRAUD.
"I believe that the diplomacy of the
president and the state department in
reference to the whole Chinese matter
Is one of the brightest chapters of
American diplomacy or of the diploma
cy of any civilized nation during mod
ern years. It was so appreciated and
talked about in Europe, In London, in
I'aris. In The Hague, in Brussels and
everywhere on the continent.
"I would he willing to concede that
Bryan had a better chame than Mc
Kinley to cany the states of Montana
and Nevada, but I would not like to
concede the electoral vote of either one
of them without a contest. I do yield
to Pryan the electoral vote in all the
states in which the 'consent of the
governed' ir, disregarded and manhood
suffrage abolished by law.
"So far as my observation goes. I
think that the people of this country
receive the Issue of Imperialism as an
infernal humbug and fraud and bare
faced piece of shysterism. I do not
believe that there Is an intelligent man
in the I nited States, unbiased by po
litical prejudice or unaffected by past
disappointments, who seriously be
lieves that the United States In In dan
ger of drifting away from the great
landmarks of liberty, Justice and equal
ity which have always been the watch
words of the Republican party. I have
seen no signs that the old fabric of lib
erty Is crumbling.
THE SILVER ISSUE.
"The Germans are not disaffected, as
far ns has como under my observation.
They believe In honesty, and therefore
did not vote for Dryan and 60-cent
dollars.
"The free silver Issue, in general
terms, is a fraud of the most conspicu
ous eharacter. It is hid in the rubbish
room of the Democratic party, ready to
be brought out if the people can be
cheated by ghosts and bogies Into elect-
CONORES8MAN GUOSVENOR.
Is nothing in its whole history that It
Is not ashamed of except its long-time
persistent adherence to the policy of
expansion, and now the party is try- 1
lug to blot out that little remnant of
glory."
BRTAN A POOH UAH.
"General, what do you think of Mr.
Bryan In the light of a man who de
cries bosses as applied to others, and
emphasizes bis own dominance in his
party at stated intervals?"
"Mr. Bryan," answered Gen. Grosvo
nor, "Is not n boss. He Is a despot.
He Is a Pooh Hah. He Is a high cock
alorum. The sultan of Turkey Is a
mild mannered constitutional governor
compared with Bryan. It would be
flattery to call him a boss; he Is a czar,
a tyrant. He has no appreciation for
anybody but himself; would not give
a cent for the Judgment of a whole
national convention; rather have his
own judgment than the judgment of
bis entire party.
"The sentiment of tho people of my
state favors constitutional and wise 1
expansion. My views coincide with
those of my constituents. The general
question is not involved In the present
issue. We did not seek for expansion;
It came to us without our agency, and
it Is not a question now of indorsing
what is past bo much as it is the dis
charge of duly In the present.
PROSPERITY IS THE ISSUE.
"I think the president's course has
been such as to commend Itself to all I J

the most popular man who was ever In
the presidential (hair. There Is less
1 division of ( pinion among Republicans
than there was in regard to the second
term of Abraham Lincoln, and he will
receive thousands of votes from quiet
men who have studied his character
and admire him and who make no
noise In political processions or polit
ical conventions.
"The rensons why prosperity Is the
dominant issue of the campaign are
tttj tnvr.y told. The Democratic
party destroyed the country by its pres
ence and Its action. The Republican
party, by the fulfillment of Its pledges,
restored confidence and prosperity, nnd
the only Issue that Is worth consider
ation Is the Issue of whether wo will
go back and experiment ngaln with the
virus that poisoned the laboring and
commercial and financial conditions of
the country or whether we will stand
by what we have.
"As to trusts, tho only party In the
United Stctcs congress that ever did
anything to overthrow trusts was tho
Republican party. The Democratic
party has made noise enough tv havo
frightened all the coyotes of the early
prairie days en this question and havo
not lifted a fincer to do anyhing. They
are Insincere in their outcry, as every
body knows who has read their record. 1
Whatever good may come of legisla
tion, which, in my judgment cannot bo
very great, will have to como from tho
Republican party.
DEMOCRATS OVERTHROW A UE
PUBLIC. "Ohio Is prosperous in common with
the other states of the Union, and for
the same reason.
"The Democratic doctrine of 'gov irn
ment by consent of the gover ed,' and
ull that, Is mere verbiage and vox. et
praeterea nihil. The Democratic party
is not living up to its doctrine, if It hai!
any. In four of the states of tho Union
It has deliberately and professedly, by
law, declared that a large minority,
and Indeed, in two or three states the
majority shall havo no voice in the
government of tho state whatever.
They pulled down tho American flag
In Hawaii and put a king, or rather a
black queen, on the throne and over
threw a republic, and now they are
howling fiercely about the consent of
the governed. It Is a party of won
derful Inconsistencies."
