The truth is that the President and his cab.

The rich owners of city buildings, who de.
rive enormous incomes FROM the rents OF

REPRESENTATIVE JOHN s. BARBOUR, of
this district, who has just returned from
Europe, in an interview with reporter Of
the World, of New York, in that city yes.
terday, on the subject of the recent demo-
cratic defeat in his State, said:
1.-THE policy of the Administration has been dis
couraging to the Democratic party. When men
turn out and work for the success of their party
they like to receive some recognition if they win,
or to have their friends recognized and not have
things 60 on as they were before. That's human
nature and you cannot change it. Sentimental
politics may be all right in theory but they do
not win victories or inspire men with much en-
thusasm. President Cleveland is probably sim
ccre in his COURSE but if no would give US little
more practical politics it would be better for his
party
Almost every impartial man, who has his
eyes and ears open, knows that what Mr.
Barbour says is the naked TRUTH but, un.
fortunately for the democratic party, only 6
few Of its prominent men are bold enough
to express that knowledge openly.
