Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-03-23

we will show him a God-fearing, self
respecting, law-abiding people; we will
show him churches, in which there is
real and unaffected piety."
The movement to further delay ac-
tion upon the Cuban resolutions by
sending them back to conference for
the purpose of changing the wording
was squelched when the Senate COM
mittee on Foreign Relations instructed
Chairman Sherman to push the report
of the committee in favor of accepting
for those adopted by the Senate to a
vote at the earliest possible moment
The House had quite lively debate
on the resolution censuring Ambassa-
dor Bayard, this week, but the House
had made up its mind on that subject.
Among the political prophets is heard
the voice of one Campbell, Ohio, who
was last fall buried by Ohio's big Re-
publican majority. He has crawled
out of the debris and gone to Washing
ton to warn the Democratic party of
the death that will follow the split
which every body is predicting to occur
at the Chicago convention. Prophet
Campbell after imploring the Demo-
cratic party to send delegates to Chica-
go who will not bolt the ticket or plat
form of the Democratic National Con-
yention ends his tale of woe by saying:
''But bolt or split now, and we are un-
done for all time. The Democracy is
destroyed forever, and it's site sown
with salt. 1t will live only as a
memory, like the Wings, the Feder-
alists, and other combinations of past
that is far or near" 1t is evident that
Mr.. Campbell will be able to say 81
told-you-so" to the Democrats few
months hence. Mr.. Campbell does not
even promise the Democrats victory
either this year or in the near future,
as reward for restraining their in
clination to bolt, but says his advice
must be followed as the 'only hope of
party continuation
A gentleman speaking of the latest
move of the administration to keep
Democrats in Office by further extern
sion of the civil service rules said: II
wonder why they don't make clean
job of it and include the members of
the cabinet and the President and Vice
President. 1t is all right to have the
men and women who do the merely
clerical work of the government pro-
tected by rules making their retention
dependent upon their work, but it is
nonsense to suppose that any admins
tration is going to allow positions
which have to dc with shaping and
carrying out certain lines of policy up
on which the success or failure of the
administration depends to be filled by
men who are known to be politically
opposed to it."
A Democratic Senator is credited
with having said of the Carlisle boom
for the Democratic Presidential nomi-
nation: Carlisle is being used by
Cleveland to draw the fire of those op-
posed to his administration, and, when
he has been fguratiyely shot to pieces
by the free silver Democrats and the
goldbugs Cleveland will step forward
as the only man left to save the democ-
racy from extinction, and will an
nounce his willingness to run for a
third term, not because he thinks he
can be elected but as a patriotic sacri-
fee to save the life of the Democratic
party"
1t will be some time before Rep
resentative Mcmillan, of Tenn, again
attempts to introduce an intoxicated
Cleveland Democrat to silver Demo
cratic Senator. His last attempt was
in the dining room of Washington
restaurant He steered Mr.. Don. M.
Dickinson, who was Postmaster General
during portion of the first Cleveland
administration, and who was upon this
occasion loaded up to his whiskers
with something which made him for
get his good manners, oyer to table
at which Senator Pugh, of Ala, was
sitting Although Mr. Pugh has been
in the Senate since 1880 he had never
met Mr.. Dickinson. Senator Pugh, u
said Mr.. Mcmillan, "permit me to in
troduce the Hon. Don M. Dickinson. -
Before Senator Pugh could reply Dick.
| inson blurted out II don't know SEN
ator Pugh, and don't want to know
him. Pugh is an old fool" Senator
Pugh is rs years old, but turning tc
Dickinson he said, rising to his feet
evidently prepared to fight 81 consid.
er you a scoundrel and don't recognize
you as a gentleman" That ended the
episode, as friends interfered and Dick.
inson was put to bed. s.
