There Is much division Of scnti.
myut among the leading Democrats
" the South aud West, as 10 the
\ polio, uf the aamnist alton, on the
Hawaii and tariff rrforen hill which
's uo@ pending before the House.
On both IT these measures tn. DEM
. ugraffc Car at the White House has
PASSED the word around among the
different departments of the govern
mcut a. he dId on the silver bill that
no senator or member who Opposed
the administration should have any
. patronage. This Was strictly carried
uut last summer and fall on the Sill
Ncr question. During that time
there vas a Democratic Senator who
differed with Cleveland on silver.
. lie was ever denied an audience with
! the autoerat president. After Cleye-
land and Gresham made such Wild
and ignorant bluuders in the Hawaii
affair, Cleveland saw that he would
need all the friends he could muster
/ IN the Senate, 10 sustain his foolish
aud uudlploWatic hlunder. lie al
lowed this same Senator TO approach
hIs imperial presence, aud patiently
listened TO his pleadings for certain
important federal offices in has State.
/ lie got them. Que Of the most inn
I portant offices given out under this
truce To the Senator was TO Hill
man, who had fought Cleveland for
\ ten ,cars, aud turned down man
who bad fought for him, the same
length of time. and of whom Cleye-
, land said in a letter TO him after his
/ election that he was, and had been
I the truest friend he had ever had in
F. the West.
Cleveland runs congress and the
Democratic party just as he wishes
and If they say anything to him, he
threatens to ruin the party, If they
DO not let him have his own way.
The Wall street bunco steers have
told him through their London and
Amsterdam allies that this govern
mcnt must issue bonds, that they
wanted them as an investment.
Cleveland has ordered their wishes
- 10 ""'"! IL - IL. ts.,... ..G,..""sh his
now done, but these gamblers in
government securities will rest, for
only a short sca-On, they will soon
call for more bonds. Not enough
vet, Grover! When they have en-.
rchcd more mllionaires, and OPP
pressed millions Of hungry, starving
poor men, women and children in
America, when the last dollar in the
Treasury Is eN hansted, and the coun-
Try has nothing left on which TO
base bankrupt credit, they will
Uhcn and ouiy then CRY enough.
While this state of affairs Is rapid
] Is closing around us, what are We 10
do? Are there no statesmen broad
D. and maguauimous enough 10 rise
above the 20 itical whipof party and
ray, "Give thIs people relief" or will
they cuulinne to obey the orders Of
, their master, Grover Cleveland !:
> This will not be- done as long as
: government steamers are furnished
United States Senators on which to
D take bridal tours, as was done in the
case Of leading Democratic Senators
!. d short time ago, who had hereto
fore been opposed to Cleveland.
> Think of it, plain Jeffersonian
r Democratic Senator, taking n bridal
n tOur on L. ). naval vessel, under
:, the charge Of United States naval
: officers. This is democratic simple
ity.
|, The steering committee Of the
! Senate through one of their officers
3 have issued such orders that it is al
% most impossible for the average
2. stranger 10 see the Senators whom
n they send to the Nations capitol to
> represent them. 1t is almost as easy
TO gain admissio to a crowned head
p IF Europe as to see United States
a Senator dunug its session. An illus
' tIation of this was shown the other
e dav at the Senate. An old gentle
:, man from North Carolina, over
u whose head seventy winters had cast
7. their SHOWS, was looking for Senator
= Vance. He was on the lower floor,
a and started TO take the elevator al

g enough TO point the way, he wa:
re abruptly halted by an employee OF
le the Senate from North Carolina anc
81 told that "that elevator was exclu
e. sivelY for Senator'S" "But,' snic
the old man, chow can | find Eel
a Vance," He was informed by tblI
De uncivil employee that he knew moth
st ing about Zeb Vance. The aged sol
Of Carolina finally climbed up tn
ia long marble steps to the next floor
n and continued his search for Zeb
y He met another employee of th
e Senate and With trembling voice b
IN asked him the same question. III
se was informed that he could not Sc
n the Senator until 2 o'clock. "But,
IL said the old man, Il must SET Zeb ol
he important matters, | have cot I
40 leave the city at l o'clock" 81
~ makes no difference" said the EN-
- ployee, IF you were the son of Josep
be and Mary / could not let you see hir
W. Until that time. Our orders her
en are as strict and infexibie as thos
Of the Medes and Persians. Senator
will not be seen" The old ma
