Hill is not going to bolt the Demo-
cratic nomination. He cannot. If he
does, he will lose whatever influence
he has all along had. In his debate
with Tillman in the senate sometime
back he said: "Sir, no matter what
may be in store for US in the next
campaign-come victory or defeat,
come sunshine or shadow, come veal
or woe-there is where I will be found
again in behalf of whoever may be the
Democratic candidate and whatever
may be the National Democratic plat
form in the campaign. I do not e1-
pect to have my Democracy strained
in so doing. I have confidence in the
wisdom of the Democratic masses and
the Democratic party"
james Peevy, the man who gave
birth to the famous slang expression,
"Let her 20 Gallagher" died in Chica-
20 few days ago. Peevy was we'll
known politician and Gallagher was
his rival on the opposite side. Some
years ago they had personal difficult
ty during which Peevy wiped up the
earth with Gallagher and bit off a
piece of his ear. After the two men
had been separated Gallagher COM
menced to look for the piece of his ear
that Peevy had bitten out, and
friend who was anxious to get him
away from the spot, finally exclaimed,
"Let her 60, Gallagher, and come on"
The bystanders took up the sentence
and the rest is history.
New York Journal Why should
millionaire holders of American secu-
rites, like Messrs. Flower, Brady,
Whitney and Belmont, fear panic
through the unloading by English
holders of America railroad and indus
trial stocks? Would not this great
unloading which they predict place
purchasing power in their own hands,
and will not the earning capacity of
these roads and industries remain the
same? Will there be one raj! less
on the railways or one brick less in the
factories |? For the time being values
would be real and not fictitious, but
that would constitute the millionaire's
opportunity to invest. Ifthe European
holders of American stocks were such
fools as to unload these excellent Sc
curities in large quantities, the rich
Americans would have an opportunity
to secure some very good property at
a bargain. The European stockholder,
however, is no fool.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chair
man of the Democratic executive COM
mittee, is certainly shrewd politician,
and the Democracy loses any strength
in the coming campaign that should
properly belong to it, it will not be
through any fault of his. He has the
appointment of a special committee to
work under the general advice of the
regular executive committee. Within
the past few days he had made a
statement to the effect that he will not
appoint this committee until matters
have developed little further. He is
hot confined, he says, to Democrats,
and it is his purpose, provided such a
course should appear to be the right
thing, to put on the special committee
certain free silver Republican and
Populist leaders. Senator Teller is
already considered dead certainty as
a member of the special committee,
and it is not improbable that Senator
Marion Butler, of North Carolina, will
also be a member. Senator Jones,
however, proposes to steer as clear OF
fusion as far as possible.
Within the past few days Mr.. Bry-
an has found it necessary to address
the following letter to the public:
"My daily mail has grown to be so
large that / find it impossible to read
all letters received, and still more i'm
possible to reply at length to each.
Those who are interested in the sue
cess of our cause will appreciate the
situation and pardon me for making
the following suggestions: l. AS time
will not permit full discussion of po-
litical questions in so large number
of private letters, 1 shall, in order to
avoid discrimination, reserve all such
discussions for public occasions. 2.
All offers of services and suggestions
as to the conduct of the campaign
should be made to the national COM
mitteemen representing the various
states and territories. 8. All requests
for campaign literature should be ad-
dressed to the secretary of the nation
al committee, at committee headquar-
ters, as soon as headquarters is estab-
lished. If friends will be kind enough
to observe the above suggestions, l
shall be able to devote my time more
fully to the work of the campaign.
