Headquarters of the democratic, populist and free silver national con- mittees will be in Washington, which will facilitate cooperation. Prepara- tions are being made for vigorous campaign. It is not the intention of the democratic managers to recognize any issue except the money question in the campaign, and they will endeavor to keep that steadily to the front by distributing silver literature broadcast, and putting in the field large force of able speakers.

EVIDENCE OF A WEAK CAUSE

Only a few weeks ago editorial writers in the east were felicitating the country on the prospect of campaign free from personal abuse of the candidates. They said we were to have campaign of education, in which the issues, and especially the financial question, would be fully presentedu and temperately discussed. They reioiced that, at last, the money'question was to be placed sduarely before the voters for their final judgment. Mckinley and Bryan were generally regarded as ideal can didates, each representing his party and the principles for which it stands better than any other man who could have been named.
 The advocates of free silver coinage willingly accepted the conditions under which the contest was to be waged, and thus far they have adhered to the tacit agreement to observe the amenities So far as is consistent with free discus sion of the questions at issue. Not so, however, with the gold standard organs. Hardly had the Chicago convention ad- iourned when the mouthpieces of the monometallists began tirade of abuse against the silver supporters, denounc- ing them as JacobIns, anarchists, revo- lutionists and repudiators, and having run through the gamut of opprobrious eplthets and rung the changes on the "5O-cent dollar" they are now resort ing to falsehood and innuendo directed against the democratic candidate for president.
 "Good name, in man and woman, is the immediate jewel of their souls. Who steals my purse, steals t-ash; but he that flches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enriches him, and makes me poor indeed" The attempts to belittle Bryan and smirch his character will scarcely have the effect intended by his traducers, but, rather, will arouse feeling of indigna. ton, and determination among the people to rally to his support.
 Bryan cannot be successfully assailcd, either in his private character or in his public acts. His record is an open book and altogether creditable. His home life is unobtrusive and whole some, and his affections are centered in his family. Plain, abstemious and high minded, Bryan is the ideal citizen. His public career has been none the less commendable. In congress he was the earnest and intelligent repre- sentative of the people, and his forensic power, resourcefulness, and ability as q debater, early won for him recognition and respect among his compeers.
 The fact that the monopolistic press has so soon descended to abuse of Bryan and the advocates of free silver coinage is the best evidence of weak cause, and the desperate straits to which they have been driven.
 The peoples cause will triumph.

Marion Butler, of North Carolina, chairman of the populist national com mittee, has the distinction of being the youngest member of the United States senate. He was born in 1863. It was mainly due to his ability as an organi- ger and politician that fusion between the populists and republicans was accomplished in 1894, and the state carried by 30,000 majority against the democrats. Mir. Butler was rewarded by being appointed senator. Andrew Jackson was chosen United States sen- ator at 50, and James Munroe at 32.

It is perhaps not surprising in the redundancy of political history and reminiscence which burden the columns of the public press during a national campaign that errors should occur, and most of them pass unchallenged. The thought is suggested by reference made in the Globe-Democrat of a recent date, under the head of Gam paign Songs," to the "kitchen cabinet, " stating that the Tippecanoe song, which 3idiculed Van Buren's administration, gave origin to that expression.
 Tie term "kitchen cabinet" was first derisively applied to President Jack sons advisers, during his first term, and included besides the members of his cabinet. the trio of editors, Francis P. Blair, Amos Kendall and Isaac Hill, who yielded considerable influence ip the administration. Martin Van Buren was secretary of state; Lou McLane, secretary of the treasury; John Branch, secretary of the navy Succeeded by Lev Woodbury), and Roger B. Fancy, attorney general. The cabinet was ridiculed almost daily through the opposition newspapers and they were thus chronicled in ballad of the time. King Andrew had five trusty squires,
 Whom he held his bid to do;
 He also had three pilot fish
 To give the sharks their cue.
 There was Mat and Lou and Jack and Lev,
 And Roger of Fancy hue.
 And Blair the book, and Kendall chief cook,
 And Isaac, surnafned the true.
