It has recently 'i how- ever, found much to admire in him, and has endorsed his position on the trusts, imperialism and the ; Porto Rico tariff. Its Washington correspondent in an ex tended article expresses the opinion that the recent blunders of the Republicans in congress have made Mr, Bryan's election more ; than probable: and if Congress passes the Ship Subsidy bill,' endorses the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and insists on levying a tariff on Porto Rican pro ducts tne defeat oi Mr. JucKinley is al most certain. The Sun correspondent thinks the management of the coming campaign win be taken out oi tne bands of Senator Jones, and placed under the control of some of the more conservative and experienced eastern Democrats.
