Tribute to Roosevslt.

John L. Griffiths, consul general at Liverpool, was In fine humor for a speech. Mr. Griffiths said he was glad to meet his old political friends again. “It Is good,” he continued, “to be here and to fight oveb with you many of those memorable campaigns when we stood side by side for our American principles. Nothing Is more gratifying to me in IBagland than the high esteem in which our country is held. It is equally gratifying to know that next to King Edward the moet popular man in English minds Is Theodore Roosevelt. They believe in him there exactly as we believe In him hers. To me this has been an inspiration, for when I have mentioned him In the public halls where I hare spoken the response that his name evoked makes me feel for the moment as If I were back la Indiana. I want to say that 4,000 miles away from Indiana nothing will give me greeter pleasure than to know that our distinguished vice president has been chosen the standard bearer next campaign.”
