CRATIC TICKET.

The Mutual Admiration Society OF Two
Great -Bennett and Pulitzer Out
For the P,nniss-Rlii and Dana should
Re Helped Out of Their Hole.
Tho political situation of the Demo
cratic party is such that its future can
hardly be regarded with complacency
by tho few remaining faithful followers
of the Democratic president, Mr. Cleve-
land We notice with interest that the
two great leaders in this state, Senator
Hill and Editor Dana. have not been
overcome by the late storm, but are al
ready prepared to gather their scattered
forces, an easy task considering their
paucity, and join strength with the
chieftain III tie White House. The bu-
gle call will Id the three hand in hand
at the head Of their little band Of straS-
slers, seeking some secluded spot where
the councils of the brave over the pipe
of peace. we trust, may arrive at some
conclusion aS 10 where they are at.
The mutual admiration of Editor Da-
ma for Senator Hill and of Senator Hill
for Editor Dana is worldwidely known.
They would promptly override any dis
turbing element that might be intro
duced into their councils by Chief Cleve-
land. the chosen of their party. The po-
sition of The Sun in national politics
has been that of a leader. Where 1t has
led to il l. not for us TO say. We leave
that rather for the consideration Of Its
followers who have studied the recent
election returns in this ana in other
states.

The World, would be uncomplimentary

Dana in. some future possibility OF a
Democratic performance of these pro
