IN FACT HE IS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY Democrats Will Not Attempt To Make Capital of Conduct of War, but Want Investigation. By Jos: Ohl. Washington. September IS.--('Speolal.) Congressman Joo Bailey will leave In a few days fur Indiana, where he goes to take an active part in the democratic campaign in that state. His services are In great demand in all parts of the country, and It is evident that his apparent turn-down by the Texas democrats in the matter of territorial expansion has in no respect lessened his popularity with democrats. Mr. Bailey feels decidedly hopeful of the outlook for democratic victory In the congressional elections. Ho has kid n correspondence with almost all the demo cratic members of the present house and the advices they send of themselves, to gether with what they say of other condi tions in other districts of their -ties, lead him to believe that instead of a' mere light ing chance the democrats will capture the llo'l:-- . All Democratic Members Hopeful. In speaking of the outlook, he said to "Os the democratic members of the pres ent iiouse. not one of those renominated heli. ve 3 ho will be Jefeated. These men are on tiie ground and know the conditions. Titer' is < verj reason why they should give me the outlook exactly as it seems to th< m, an 1 in all cases they write with confidence. While the war was on Some of them felt a little dulrous, but now they regard the outlook as decidedly bright Brom invitations I have received 1 know that, the head;, of the state committees look at the situation In the same way. So far ;.s 1 know, there is not a section of tc .- country in which the outlook is not b "er and blighter ‘nan it was in the tion at which the present house was < ‘in, and in many instances tho men < ■; the ground have been able to give sub stantial assurances of gains." Mr. Bailey said that from his informa tion tito chances in the middle west are Very mu; h better ana brighter than they hivj been at any time. Ho told me of !■ iters from Michigan giving assurances taat Bruck' r, democrat, and Todd, fusion Ist, will undoubtedly be returned and that tho democrats stand an excellent chance electing their nominees In two other districts. In Indiana he had promised the <l. moerats of the present congress that lie would help them, but now tiie off! <-rs of t statu and congr>. sional committees are insisting on bls giving his time to other ■ hstrlets. as democratic victories ar.' as d In those now represented by demo ri ts an <* they vmt him to devote his • other districts w hero gains pos-ible.

Speaking of the record made by the demo cratic party in congress with regard to the war, Mr. Bailey said: "It cannot be charged that we did ijot give the admin istration loyal support upon every proposi tion but one—the issuance of bonds—and subsequent events have shown that we were right in opposing a bond issue, if for no other reason than because such an Issue was not needed. As a matter of fact the war ended before the bonds could bo de livered to subscribers, with the re.-ult that there is piled up in the treasury an enorm ous surplus of money, to which e '’cry day’s receipts is adding .something. Ihe secretary is devising methods of getting rid of it, because a serious congestion is feared if the drain from the circulation in to the treasury is continued Say they please with regard to the matter, the republicans were wrong in t.ieir position and the democrats were right." Stone and the Party Success. Former Governor Stone, of Missouri, who. although now out of oilice, is regarded li the democratic leader of that state, has furnished an interesting contribution to the discussion of matters political through Ihe New York Journal. Governor Stone is re garded by many democrats as the most likely man to be chairman of th. demo cratic national convention in the next presidential campaign, and for that reason his views are regarded as particularly sig niflcant. However, whether he is chair man or not, ife is sure to be am important factor in shaping the work of that cam paign, and as a leading western democrat his views are interesting. .)f the Issues of the next great presiden tial campaign Governor Stone, write-: "In n.v opinion, tiie next democratic na tlcnal convention will again declare for the free coinage of silver, and it will be done by a practically unanimous vote. lae party, as a whole, is intensely in earnest in its advocacy of bimetallic coinage, it will not cede from tills position; it will not go backward. "I believe the next national democratic convention will also press our maritime Interests to the front and make the renab ilitatlo'i of our merchant navy a leading issue of tiie campaign. 1 say 'issue' lie cause any serious effort to rebuild our mercliiant navy on a large scale will ne cessitate a bold assault on those republican policies Which have destroyed our maritime Interests for the benefit of a special m<>. nopoly, anil because the exisleii'.. ot a great merchant navy would of itself put forces into operation which would soon demolish that wihole fabric of protection so artfully contrived by our republican op ponents. "if we expand our maritime Interests, we must si-. k trade; If we covet dominion of the seas, we must control the markets of the world. But this we cannot do if »« exclude others from our own mar kets. It we put ‘Private and Hxclu.dve over the gateways to our ports, We ca-tiuo. expect a free welcome into lae ports of ot her count l ies. ‘"line two tilings are inconsistent and im possible. Bui we should fill the seas wi:h our ships. What we need above all things are markets. The productive capacity ot our country, already great beyond com parison, < an be quadrupled; and tiie inven tive genius and business skill and enter prise of our people are confessedly superior to all Otlhers. if we undertake in dead earnest to do the carrying trade of the world and to control th*- world s eomnrirce, we will soon outstrip all competition. Think w'lat we might do if we snoitid do our best. A Great Opportunity. "Let me illustrate; Os our enormous cot ton product we manufacture only a small per cent. (I will not venture into statis tics off-hand.) By far the great' r part is silipped abroad, fabricated in foreign mills, and made the basis of a vast commerce for foreign countries. All tlnis cotton Is manuf i.-tured somewhere. It is transported in somebody’s ships, ami tho manufactures are sold somewhere in the markets of tho world. "Why should not wc manufacture our own cotton, carry tfie goods in our own ships, and sell or e.xebange them our.-elv- s. to those who have med of them? If this should be done it would greatly enham oar manufacturing interests, give employ ment t" thousands, and by stimulating de mand increase tlhe market price of the raw material. at is true of cotton Is equally true of ota i things. If we find tu t tel. to ab sorb our pioducts, the nulls and nun to make i a in will follow; th y will all grow up tog. It,-r. Can we find tie markets? I believe We call -in the Orient; aye, and in "lurop', too, tor with our superior ma il.inery and workmen w <an pay higlp r Mag' S and y< t compete with Jhirop.- lor the world’s m..’riots, we must go m them. Ji We de-ire to oondnatc the worlds com merce. v.e mn equipp'ai for tho work. Must Have a Great Navy. "To be so equipped we must luavo the greatest merchant navy alloat. All this is good old democratic doctrine. It was a fa vorite policy of our fathers In anl<-helium <1..y.. 1 believe it will be again. And, therefore, I b licve the r.e.xt democratic convention will push the revival of our ntaririi.ie interests to the front and make il a lead.ng issue; and, incidentally, will insist upon the speedy construction of tho Ni. .ir.u-’ia vannl and the neees.-.try ,n --lar„. n nt of our' navy. To my mind tiler is so much of prosperity and glory to our eolin::. to be gained by this polity that 1 l>el,. v.' it will . onimand the supp ,rt of the people of all Class,.S and sections when It is fully pt . sente,! ..nd un.l. i stood, "Apro,. os to tnis 1 bell, ve it should be tiie polity ol’ ihe democratic party to have ..nr government seek the closest alb.met: with Mexico and C. ntral and So.i;n America, and.

Afontgomery, Ala., September 17.—(Spe cial.)—The most remarkable primary elec tion ever known In Alabama was held in the eighth district today. It was tho primary of the democratic party of that district to select a nominee to congress, but most of the r -publicans and populists of the district, participated In it and every man voted for. the return to congress of the little hero of Santiago, General Joseph Who. ler. Free silver and gold advocates, free traders and protectionists, territorial ex pansionists and con trad ion Ist.', rich and poor, black and white, regardless of past, present or future party affiliations, all united on tiie one proposition to send Gen eral Wheeler b.ick to congress. Not i vote was east against him in tin- district. An Independent District. There has always been a great deal of Independence in politics in the eighth dis trict. It is about th- best fighting ground the republicans have in the stat'-. I-Jvet sine? Ihe days of th- brilli.mt independent, William W. Lowe, party traei-s have rest ed more lightly in that district than i i.-e --wbere in Hie state. Not since the civil war have the republicans failed to make a nom nation there. His Friends Worked It. Goner-1 Wheeler has been in ,-ongro/s for fourteen years. When he enlist'-I lox* the ('un.in war he had two formi lib e opponents for the nomination. The repub licans were also priming several strong men fox- congress. Not from that tint' to this has General Why-eler been into h.s district, excepting his sad visit last week, wh-n he came to bury his youngest son, and yet every vote cast today was in has favor. It will be re • ailed th it in the meantime he. has led the charge at San tiago.

It will he remembered that when he went with the army to Cuba tb demand was nt.-ul'- upon ■ tic- governor to deciare ills 1 it in con- I gross vacant and to provide for tho ele<- j tion of a successor to him. Ihi demand I appeared to be sustained by the law in the ' case, but it was made so patent to the governor that tiie p.-ople of tho district de sired for Whe.-ler to rop'-osent them, not withstanding his absence, that the exec utive allowed the matter to stand.

It was suggested that h■' nomination was a matte,- of course ind that It. would boa gracious and a patriotic thing fox- tho people of the district to I mi te and to make It unanimous. The cir- I euiar. among other things, said: "Who is 1! among you. how-yer so hum i bio.' who has not at some tlm- boon the object of Mr. Wheeler's at ten' ion ? Not one of you ever wrote or spike to him without prompt and courteous r--spo" Wlv-eier is famous for his energy. No business properly entrusted to him wa ever neglected. To properly aitnplish this lias r. qu’red the employment of a. nuinb'r of clerks, whose pay has exhaust ed his salary.
