fury which has not been dominated by
Wall street influence and ideas.
1.-THE Democratic party has had
new birth, it has freed itself from the
faint Of Tammany and the influence Of
Wall street. This has been done in
such clear and pronounced manner
that Senator Hill is forced to declare
that not a single plank in the plat
form enunCiates Democratic princi-
ples-meaning, of course, Democratic
principles according to the Tammany
and Wall street standard.
"When those who support a gold
standard, Mckinley tariff, with all
its cOncOmitants of mOnOpOlies and
trnStS, and the principles Of Tam
many hall and Wall street denOunce
platform of principles, that is good
evidence that enunciates sound prin-
cipleS and deserves the approval and
support of the honest masses.
"lf Mckinley is the Napoleon Of
the gold standard forces, Bryan is
the Wellington of the allied silver
forces, and the historical parallel will
be complete, except that this modern
Napoleon, after his Waterloo, will go
to the headwaters Of Salt river in
stead Of st. Helena"
NEW YORK PRESS Is RABID.
New York, July 1.-THE Press
says: In its last hours the Democratic
convention nominated to the pres.
dency man who, until yesterday.
was known to the vast majority OF
his cOuntrymen only through the
humorous photographic print. Hi
local repute has been, If not wide,
Intense as the "star attraction" OF
Populist picnicS and the prize orator
OF Nebraska county fairs.
But the nomination matters little.
1t turns to be lovely and somewhat
amusing travesty. A body Of men
has met aud assumed the habilimenis
Ofthe Democratic party. Ragged al d
foul as are these. they find contain i
nation in this touch of men who
have seized them in violation Of the
lowest code of thieves. In this guise
it has spared from the distinction OF
its attack little Of political institu
tions which Americans hold dear. II
has exalted much which Americans
hold particularly vile.
NEW ALIGNMENT IN MICHIGAN.
Special to the St. Louis Republic.
Detroit, Mic, July PA Repub.
lican stampede to the Democracy has
begun. 1t is altogether probable that
the party organizations will 90 to
pieces and an alliance be formed with
the free silver Democrats. Signs of
disintegratiOn appeared just after the
st. Louis Convention and they
reached their climax when Mr., Bryan
was nominated at Chicago. To night
clubs in Kent, Inglair and Minister
counties telegraph that they are all
to secede to Bryan and free silver at
their next meetings. Other tele-
grams marking the bolt to the Dem
ocratic cause come from Inscola,
Nucomb, Woodland and Grand Tray-
erse. In Jackson County a Repub.
lican leader permits himself to be
quoted as follows:
"Theparty which nominated Bryan
is not the Democratic party, but a
new Democracy, called to the front
by demands Of the times. There are
thousands Of Republicans in this
county and state who will vote for
Bryan and free silver and they come
fren the laboriDg aud farmer class
es." N
The new alliance when formed will
propahly make Mayor Pingree their
candidate for Governor. The Mayor
