THE DEMOCRATIC WAREHOUSE ANY
THING BUT PLEASED WITH
CONDITION OF THINGS.
BOTH A SHOCK AND SORROW
TO SEE THE PARTY OF A MANS
YOUTH BROKEN UP THIS
WAY.
PoP HEADQUARTERS IN ST. PAUL.
Located Here So That the Work Can
BE Carried on in Commune ton
With Democrats,

Michael Doran, the astute politician
who has borne many Of the burdens Of
the Democratic party in Minnesota on
his shoulders, and who by inheritance,
breeding and instinct has always been
Democrat returned from Carlsbad.
Germany, yesterday, hoping to find
harmony in the party of his love, but
Michael Doran found nought save dis
heartening chaos. 1t has broken him
completely, and unless something is
done soon. Mr.. Doran may have to go
back to Carlsbad to relieve the strain.
Standing under the trees at his sum-
mer home at White Bear last evening,
Mr.. Doran took off his hat and sighed
deeply. To put it in his own words,
his breath had been taken away and
he wanted a chance to get it back be-
fore he was interviewed. His first re-
mark was:
you young men cannot realize what
a shock and a sorrow it is to see the
party of your youth broken up this
way. When I left for Europe just after
the state convention, everything
seemed to be promising of harmony,
but look at it now" And Mr.. Doran
gazed mournfully at the moon.
Its pretty hard to make choice
between a Republican and a Populist,
for that is all Bryan is. Just think of
tia Democrat compelled to vote for
Mckinley, bah"
"Then you are in favor of a third
party, Mr.. Doran?"
''See here, I am not saying anything
yet for publication. I am too much
dazed, but between you and me
Here Mr.. Doran loosened up bit and
dropped some remarks which left the
| impression that he will have something
important to say very soon.
L did intend to keep out of politics
for good when I went away A man
OF my age has no business in politics
or course, ] never figured much, except
for little patronage which now and
then came my way. But its awfully
discouraging to find things so mixed
UP. did what could for gold before
went away and shall keep right on,
and that's all I have to say"
How do European countries look
upon the American campaign"
'They don't look at ALL" replied Mr.
Doran in some disgust. "The fact of
the matter is, European people, except
the government officials, are supremacy
lean politics. At least I met no people
who appeared at all interested in ques-
lions connected with the American
government"

State Auditor Dunn's views on the
silver question have undergone a
marked change. He has renowned his
FORMER opinions and has come out
squarely for the ST. Louis platform.
To prove that he is in earnest in his
conversion, Mr.. Dunn will stump the
Sixth district against Towne and will
render such other assistance to the
sound money cause as in him lies This
change of heart is the result of long
study of the silver question.
II do not want my voice or vote to be
responsible for even a small share of
the suffering and financial and indus
trial chaos that believe we would
have to go through to reach prosperity
and happiness that would eventually
come through silver recommendation.
Some Of the best men in the country
are not to be lightly doubted, are GER
tain that the country would suffer
death II the Democratic and Populist
money plankS were made effective by
legislative enactment. Even men on
the other side of the question admit
that serious financial and industrial
disturbances would follow such an
enactment. In the light of these facts
and having the welfare of the nation
at heart, cannot advocate that which
is an experiment and which it will
cost so much to secure. AS the stu
alton now stands there is too much
doubt as to what the future will bring
to our people in the way of prosperity
and too much of certainty as to what
1t will bring in the way Of suffering.
l don't want silver at the price it
would COST
That's the reason the state auditor
has concluded that sound money is
good enough for him.
The executive committee Of the
Democratic central committee was in
session for a short time yesterday,
but there was little attention paid to
business. SO numerous were the call
ers and so general the conversation
concerning the ticket nominated at
Minneapolis, the previous evening
Towne and Day came over from Min
neapoliS early, accompanied by Sena-
tor Howard and James Griffin, to talk
over the congressional situation with
st. Paul Democrats and Populists and
visited the headquarters of the Demo-

Chairman Rosing. at has strength in
every name and is winner = Gen. Pope,
secretary of the COMMITTED who as la
rule Is noncommittal and not inclined
to enthuse over anything, was also of
the opinion that the fusion list Of candi-
dates was too strong for any other tick

but in his mind he probably even in
cluded the independent candidacy of
DR.. An1es.
1t is generally understood that the
two state committees will work in
unison, and that the details Of the
Democratic campaign have been thus
far delayed awaiting the appointment
of the Peoples party committee. 1t is
probable conference of the two COM
mittees will be held today or tomorrow,
and the work apportfoned to each as
may be agreed upon.
