Tho legality of tlie law ci rating tlio ollico was then being con sidered by the Supremo Court which made it anything lint pleasant for him to enter Into an extensive contest, and his opponent, Mr Severn, having been elected by an over whelming majority over bis previous Demo cratic opponent, and then being ousted out of olhco by reason of tho illegality of tho ollico, created sympathy for him, nnd yet, with all thobo odds against him, Mr. Master camo within a few hundred votes of being elected thus undoubtedly proving his popularity, hut lie took his defeat like a man, and without a murmur or lukewarmness helped to wage the battles for tho Democracy since, and now as he has patiently waited his turn, Ids many friends have no doubt that tho Democratic party will follow her honoiablo customs, and give Mr. Master tho nomination samo as otheis get, and give him a fair chance to cou test at the coming I'all election for tho ollico which is now fully established, and for which bo made many sacrifices.

Tho Philippines," he continued, "had" not had adequate means of defense." lie had appealed to tho government to supply them, but tho government answered that tho pono had intervened and there was no fear of a rupture. Tlio naval commit tee at Manila examined into the posi tion carefully and reached tho conclu sion that It was quite impossible to of fer battlu to tho American squadron, "The Yankees are deceiving them selves," Marshal de Hlvcra declared, "as to tho situation at tho Philippines. It is absolutely impossible that thoy should become masters of tlie islands, for the natives, to un immense ma jority, are determined to defend tho territory to tin' last and to maintain Spanish sovereignty."
