A Trick That Might be Played.


If everything is fair in politics, why
should not the Democrats take advan-
tage OF some of the opportunities
which the present situation of affairs
offers them? The Herald Is of OPT Union
that the Democrats can elect their
candidate this year If they want to
and tina. the proposition can be demon
strated.
Gen. Butler as candidate will I'M
doubleday have considerable strength
In Massachusetts,, New York and
Michigan. Let the Democrats in
these states vote for the Butler electors
out and out gov. ST. John has a
large following in Kansas. l. the
Democrats of that state vote for
st. John in body. The result
of this action would undoubtedly be
to give Massachusetts, New York and
Michigan to Butler and Kansas to ST.
John. With these states thus taken
out OF the columns. the old parties il
would be imp,s for either to M AXE
choice in the electoral college, and
the contest wouli be transferred to
the house OF representatives, where
the Democrats probably would not
nave much trouble In making an ele O.
ton satisfactory to themselves.
The Herald will not deny that n
trick of this Kind participated in
10y large masses of people would be a
very contemplate affair, but IL would
not be more 80 than many other de.
vices daily resorted to by parties and
politicians. If success is the only de.
