WATTERsoN ON DEMOCRACY.

Henry Watterson's speech at the BAN
quet given 10 him by the national execu-
tive committee of the conservative DEM
ocracy must have been great disappoint-
ment to those who heard it. 1t was elo-
quent, but 1T was meaningless. 1t was
iull of fine phases but lacking in counsel.
1t showed all the graces of an accom-
plished orator, but not single element of
political leadership.
BY curious freak the tone of Mr.. Wat
terson's address was mainly a lament over
what he alleged to be the lack of right
leadership in the Republican party. He
desires, 1t seems, coalition of all the
conservative forces of the country, but is
unable to see in the publican ranks any
man who can bring about such com bina-
ton. at has," he says, "no great leader
who can combine two forces as Sir Robert
Peel did in English politics fifty years ago,
when the Liberal Unionists formed their
coalition with the Conservatives"
This lament over an alleged lack of a
Peel in the Republican party is really
humorous when the political situation in
the country is considered. Here is a long
experienced politician called by his friends
to banquet given in his honor, and list
ened to in the expectation that he would
pronounce some words of counsel and guld-
ance for his party, who turns away from it
altogether and speaks only words of sad
ness because the opposing party does not
furnish him a desired leader. 1t would
seem that Mr.. Watterson does not think it
worth while to even talk of possible
Democratic leader. He ignores the men
who followed Palmer and Buckner alto
gether, and many among those who sat at
the banquet and heard him must have felt
sighted by his words.
All that Mr.. Watterson could say to his
companions at the banquet was to urge
them TO maintain their organization on
the lines laid down at the Indianapolis
convention. He declared belief that if
they did so they would draw perhaps
100000 of men who voted for Bryan to
support the conservative ticket four years
from now. II see no reason" he de-
clared, why in 1900 this organization will
not be able to dictate terms to the coun-
try" 1t was just after making these san
guine declarations that he began his
lament that the Republican party could not
furnish the conservative movement with
a leader. 1t appears, therefore, that his
only policy is one of logged despair
determination to hold on 10 given
course, trusting TO luck for followers and
praying to heaven for guidance.
II is hardly necessary to say that such
policy will not be received with much

into use. The dead were still occasionally

of their policy of white domination, have vir-

600 voters chose the entire Mississippi deega-

votes to choose a single Congressman, and
Texas does not like the difference, and says
