Washington, April 12.-The Washing ton Post says this morning: "Nothing coming from a Democrat iu recent years has attracted moro attention among politicians than the speech of John Temple Graves, the distinguished Georgia oditor, at tho Bryau anniversary club dinner at Chattanooga Wednesday night. Mr. Graves, whoso Democracy no mau can impeach, took the advanced grouud that Mr. Bryan, at tho forthcom ing Democratic National Convention, should nominate Mr. Roosevelt for an othor te,-m. "He did this on tho theory that more Democratic policies had been enacted inte law under Mr. Roosevelt than any Democrat could hope, to equal, and that with tho Senate as it now stands, no Democratic President could work re forms along purely Democratic lines. For this reason ho believed another four years of Roosevelt would be for the best good of the country, in that it would ad vance Democratic principles. "Whatever the President may haye thought of this ut te? ance, he did not find it convenient to take the public into his confidence. Ho declined to discuss for publication or make any comment on this re marka! e Democratic speech, and from Secretary Loeb it was impossible to ob tain any idea as to how tho Prosidout felt about this unexpected indorsement of his policies." -<^??

Hough, tho woll known St. Louis lawyer, at the Now Willard. "To-day the President is acclaimed as the greatest man in his party, and t here is no question that ho could easily get the nomination. His election would bo a very differont thing. The American people aro, in a way, enthusiastic and excitablo, but they have a habit of taking a sober, second view of affairs, and herein would lio Roosevelt's peril. Tho third term idea is obnoxious. "A vast number of conservative citi zens regard Bryan as much safer and sounder in his views than tho present Chiof Executive" Tillman Hands Out Roast to Northern.
