SENATOR BUFFERS POSITION.
Thinks There is Much of jackson;
Courage Latent in Bryan.

What will Senator Butler do at st
LOUISE is a question frequently asked
these days.
In advance Of any positive declara-
ton from the Senator, it would seem
from the following utterance in this
weeks Caucasian that he has not fully
made up his mind. The Caucasian
says:
Bryan is man of many admirable
qualities sincere, honest,
s earnest, aggressiye-but has not An
drew Jackson's backbone and infiexi-
bile viii. We do not believe any COM
bination of power could buy or cor
rupt him. We fear, if elected, he
would be under the influence of the old
party bosses and fog'ies who have for
twenty years kept the money question
la the background He would have
made splendid candidate for reform
party, for then, if elected, he would
be surrounded by earnest and sincere
friends of the people. He is of all the
Democratic candidates probably the
best man the party could have nomi-
mated. He is the only man among the
Straightout Democratic candidates
who said he would leave his party, de-
mounce it and join the Peoples party
if the platform did not declare for free
silver This causes us to warm up no
1ittle toward the young statesman and
makes us hope there is much of the
ANDREW jackson courage and firmness
still latent within him.
