I most earn estly hope that our people won’t weaken In any way on Venez uela matter. The antics of the bankers, brokers and Anglomani acs generally are humiliating to a degree; but the ► I ii Ik of the American people will, 1 think, aurely stand behind the man who boldly and without flinching takes the American view'. As you say, thank Hod I am not a free trader. In this country pernicious Indulgence, in the doctrine of free trade seems inevitable to produce fat ty degeneracy of the moral fiber. Our peace at. any price men, if they only knew it, ate rendering war like ly, because they will encourage Eng land to persist; in the long run this means a. fight.

Dear Cabot: The absolutely ■ ynlcul disregard of decency of Platt and his followers can hardly he Imagined. The Platt people carried the primary by fraud so un blushing as t«* be comic. On exam ining the rolls of their voters there were found over BOO from vacant lots, from houses w here no such men lived, from houses of ill fame, and the like; of course all of these* men were merely repealers. Moreover, there were actually 103 delegates to the Tammany hall general committee whose names were published In the list of that general committee, who nevertheless voted and were recorded on the Platt side of the primary. In certain streets the Platt people simply took the name* on the signs In all the shops along the streets and voted under them right in order. A very large number of the decent men of the party are naturally growing to feel that no democratic success could be worse for them than to he put under Platt's heels, and they will not do anything to rivet Platt's power upon them. It is thus pretty difficult for me to keep them from bolting; and Platt makes my task no easier by quite openly announcing his intention of using my forbearance as a weapon against me. I have no question that Platt hon estly (so far as you can use such an adverb about him) desires Morton’s nomination, because be would have complete control over him. So that in preventing a split, which I have hitherto succeeded In doing, I can't l>e certain I am working in Reed's interest directly; indirectly I am, however, because the anti Platt pen pie are steadily verging toward Mc Kinley. An for my own police work. T am steadily, and in spite of infinite ob stacles, rebuilding this police force. I suppose we shall be legislated out, but it can't be for a couple of months I think, and by that time most of my work will have been finished. A1 ways yours. Tl I EODORK ROOSEVELT. P.
