THE OUTLOOK The republican national convention will meet on .June IS, in Chicago On the 25th pt u.e same month th< democrats will assemble in Baltimore. From all indications the republican convention will be marked by the most bitter and violent factional feud that hag arisen in the history of the party, if Roosevelt and Tatt are men of their word, one or the other of them will be nominated and the republican party will enter upon the campaign with a candidate discredited lu advance and declared to be unfit by half of the i voters to whom he must look for his . elecvit n Could any man expect, or . even hope, to be elected under such ■ circumstances? No sane man could I The thought is preposterous. On the i other hand, among the democrats the, canvass for delegates has been made without personal animosity. Any I candidate who is likely to be nominated —any candidate who may be nominated—can confidently expect to receive the united support cf the 1 party. Not only that, but he will stand , for things that hundreds of thousands of republicans and independents approve and may confidently look forward to the casting of their ballots loi aim. So, therefore, whatever the result at Chicago and Baltimore, the democrats will enter upon the campaign with a certainty of success that they have not felt since 1892. And they will not be disappointed in November. ‘ SALE OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS.
