groat vested Interests aie going to give all the hM and comfort posslblo to the administration A few months ago It dui not seem possible that Wall street tv Itb Its varied ramifications would again look upon Mr Roosevelt with favor EiuTthis Is what has happened to a de gree which is causing men to marvel Home time ago the organ of the financial Interests right about faced by declaring in favor of the President aftei devoting no end of talent and space to his abuse but a great many men of the class alluded to continued their policy of opposition Much of this opposition was active and It was known that August Belmont expected to re-telve material aid from nurfiber of corporations after Judge Parker an admittedly safe and conservative man as named as Mr opponent It is equally known that a change lias come over Hie spirit of these gen tlemen of large financial connections and Mr Belmont has been disappointed By way of explanation the charge Is being made that dominating factors in ttnanee admit that President Roosevelt has made terms with the moneyed interests of the country that the large and responsible quantities of the financial world have received assurances in such form and way as to ha wholly satisfactory to them The belief wills expressed in this correspondence during the week that the Republicans would have something like two million dollars for use in the Empire State if such an amount was considered necessary to elect the Republican Yesterday- The Brooklyn Eagle said: electors MONEY ED MAX STAND PAT week financiers who three montlm ago were denouncing Roosevelt and declaring they would not support him" are declaring in their offices and places of resort that Roosevelt is a very adroit man and this thing (1 the relations of the financial interests to the administration) is settled for eight statements are made on the authority of a great financial figure and are confirmed by two others of equal prominence is further alleged that the word has been passed that with the le-eleotion of Roosevelt the works of promotion and the employment of capital which was brought to a sudden cessation by the attack of the government! on the Northern Securities Company can be again engaged upon with surety and with the promise that there wdll be no sudden and ei ratio attacks by government on the vested Interests of the country In this attitude is the implied assumnee that not only is Mr Roosevelt to be elected in 1904 but In 1908 this flame of mind and slate of satisfaction the money Is pouring in steady contributions into the Republican national committee's treasury from the moneyed interests the corporations und the trusts what use other than an attempt to buy the purchasable votes in certain of the doubtful States can this great sum te SENTIMKNT ON THE STREET The writer had a talk to-day with a gentleman who has Just sounded sentiment on the sheet He talked with George Perkins Pierpont Morgan's next friend and with others equally well known in the financial world This gentleman said it was decidedly seriouschargethat is advanced by The Eagle thut the President's per soiral integrity would be brought into question If terms really have been made with the moneyed Interests but that it was difficult to explain the change thut has taken place upon any other theory It is a change that has contributed very largely to the comfort The writer talked with a man who was at the White House during the early part of the week President Roosevelt said then that he had no apprehension of losing New York He is counting on the very valuable aid of his late enemies CONFIDENCE IN THE WEST Chairman of the Democratic Con-piesslomil Committee Cowherd lias Just returned from a trip through the Western Btates In speaking of tilt political situation Mr Cowherd said: after the St Louis convention there was a great wave of hone and confidence over the West The people felt there wcis an excellent chance of the election of the Demociatie national ticket Later however owing to the complication in New York State there was a short neriod of some depression owing to the certainty that if New York was lowt there was no use of trying to win the national election But since the difficulties in New York have been so completely overcome since the vexing questions have been so magnificently settled the tide has again begun to
