I oonvolraed with Mr. Coke a't length on the political situation U 189(1, mh! particularly on Uie flnasdial imm. , Mr,( Coke expressed unsi(t Uw at titude of his partroa thi quwWon mt said ho would not" alter hia poliUoal afflliationa unlem subawiuent nimnolal and industrial conditions in tlio nation should prove hfa party's position tin" tenable. Ho said ho should wiiWrit closely and with concent the ful frul tlonof whlohflOo voir party 'a policy wart indorsed by tho people"; but at that timo when neither had been given a full trial, ho did not dcoul it just to re nounce his allegianco to Demtioraoy. In that decision Mr. Coko gavo ovfc denco of tho samo practical sense that characteri7d tho acta of tho lamented Lincoln. "Honest Abo 'whilo listening atten tively to tho adlvco and appeals of thoso who had audience with him, vtmi not to bo convinced that calling a sheep's. tail a leg mado the animal, by any means a flro legged shoop. But aftor the McKinley adminis tration had thoroughly settled to busi ness , Mr. Coko looking abroad over the land, saw tho great industries ot tho United States bound from their da pression liko a strong man to hia feet aftor slumber. Ho saw tho credit of tho nation rise, phoenix-like, from its ashes and a yollow stream pouring into the depleted colfcra of a federal treasury. Directing his attention to homo con ditions, ho wi tossed disappear from streets and wharves tho idlo discontent- tod throng ot longshoremen, miners, loggers and mill-workers. Ho saw tho whirring wheels go round, the booms tilled with logs and the camps with well-paid, contented men. Tho mines were worked to fnll ca pacity. Vessels were loading or discharg ing cargo at every pier. Ho saw no moro ten cent butter and forty cent potatoes offered and offered in vain, in tho decaying markets. Instead a growing demand fof but ter at 20 cents and 30 cents and pota toes At $1 on the wharves, waa tho role, and about him waa a highly pros perous farming community. Tlio sound of tho hammer and saw1 mado music ia hia cars; tasteful cot tages and elegant new residences and clean, well graded streets met his de lighted vision as ho strolled about his homo city. And so "honest John," conservative, wide-awako business man that he is, with a thought over to the welfaro of hia homo community, his state 'and tho nation, quietly took his hat from ita Democratic peg and crossed to the Re publican sido of the hall. Thero was no burning of red tiro, no fauf aro of trumpets no Pharisaical crying and breast beating in pnblio places, but quietly and without osten tation, "honest John" stopped into tho Republican ranks. It was a plain common sonso prop osition that presented itself to Mr. Coko, and his good sense joined to a broad sympathy that delights in a well- paid, well-housed community and na tion, protnutod him to adopt it. John S. Coko is a man who will nover lend his manhood and tho honor of his constituency to "grafts" and "four-flushing". But ho ia a man whoso clear level head, inherent hon esty, good judgement and arbano , gen tlemanly bearing will count every timo for tho lutorosts of hia constituent where such attributes most do count in legislativeirprocejQdinga in tho com- mittee, and voto in general session.
