The sudden death of ex-Gov William f.
Russell of Massachusetts will be deplored
wherever there are democrats. He was
one of the party's most brilliant and
promising young leaders. and was regard
ed in various quarters as good preslden-
tial timber for future years, Indeed, had
the fortunes of the party this year been
in other channels, Mr.. Russell might have
been the nominee of the recent Nconven-
ton at Chicago. He was an asute law
yer, a politician of the high and true
type, and an eloquent orator. He pos
sessed a strong hold upon the masses. and
won popular victories for his party in
Massachusetts in the face of what seem
ed certain defeat.

The tall gentleman and the stout lady
were chatting on the street corner when
the car for which they were waiting came
along says the Detroit Free Press. The
man swung himself on TO front seat, but
the women clutched and caught at all
within reach and was dragged on to a rear
seat by one of the passengers.

gasped, then she began TO look in her
purse for a ticket or a nickel.
ITS all right said the conductor, and
passed along.
What does he mean?" she asked of the
passenger who had helped her on.
He must think you have paid your
fare" he answered.
But l have not, and / wish he would
take it." she said, holding it up for him to
see

band paid your fare"

man; what in the world do you mean?'
why, he got on the car with you and
sat w there in front"
\ few days later she met her tall friend.
Did you pay my fare that day we rode
down on the same carr" she asked.
Yes said the gentleman, with an
amused smile. but / hope you will excuse
me. l could not help myself-it was the
conductor"
What did he say?"
Il handed him one fare and ne looked at
me in a knowing way and asked: Ain t
you going TO pay for your wife? 1 told
him my wife always paid her own fare,
and you should have seen him look at me.
l couldn't stand that, so paid the second
fare"
Il never heard of anything so stupid"
she muttered. and walked off
But the joke is that she is a WILDLY wo-
man." and he is a WILDLY man." and the
conductor unknowingly was helping things
along.

In one or more of the published lists of
democratic papers that have announced
their purpose not to support the Chicago
ticket the Morning News appears The
Morning News has never announced any
such purpose, and there was therefore no
authority for CHASING it with those pa
pers that do not support the Chicago tick
et While it is true that the Morning
News has always been against free silver
coinage at the ratio of l6 TO /, 1t doesn't
propose to leave the democratic party be-
cause free silver coinage has been adopt
ed by that party. While the financial
question is the great question in this cam
pagn, there are other questions which
separate the democratic party from other
political parties and these other ques-
tons in future campaigns are likely to be
of much more Importance than the fnan-
cial question. The Morning News has al
ways stood by the democratic party, and
it still stands by it. The fact that the
Morning News has always been an ear
nest advocate of sound money is the rea-
son, probably, that over jealous contem-
poraries have put it in the list of demo-
crate papers that have decided not 10
support the Chicago ticket. Before the
meeting of the Chicago convention it an
nounced its purpose to stand by the dem
ocratic party.

Maj. Mckinley would probably not &C
cept a challenge 10 joint debate from Mr..
Bryan. Mai. Mckinley is not an orator,
though an excellent speaker. He is the
kind Of a man who must have enthusiasm
manufactured for him. He never departs
from beaten paths while on the stump.
He never seeks to smuse his audience or
to fire them with eloquent phrases. His
speeches are made up of statistics and
other dry arguments. To put
such a man. on the stump with an ac-
complished orator and ready debater like
Bryan would be TO invite his discontinue.
Maj McKinley's managers are aware Of
his limitations. lie knows them also.
Hence it is extremely unlikely that there
will be any joint debate between the can

1t is unjust for the boiling democratic
papers and their republican contempora-
ries to refer to the democratic convention
as having been gathering of socialists
because Tillman and Altgeld were promi-
nent in the gathering. 1t should be remem-
bered that Altgeld's alleged dominating
influence was mostly on paper, and never
by many delegates and the audience every
time there was an opportunity to do so.
Altgeld and Tillman and their socialistic
and anarch.stic ideas were Enthusiastically
condemned.
