nominated by the convention which |
made several humiliating references TO
his administration In i,s platform, Is
naturally subject Of much discussion.
there Il no reason 10 believe that IL can
possibly affect the result, anyway. Mr..
Cleveland has not In the past turned the
other cheek when struck, and Il Is not
likely that his nature has recently
undergone a change for the better. Two
planks In the Democratic platform are
so distinctly anti.Cleveland tina, they
would prevent his supporting the ticket,
even II the plank for the free coinage Of
silver was not enough TO have made him
oppose It..
People who have noticed the regularity
with which alleged Cuban iillibusterers
have been acquitted when tried by the
Florida courts will be- interested In
few rcmark. made by Mr.. Frank CLARK,
whom United States District Attorney

being discussed when Mr.. Clark said

people Tor the Cubans have had sew

doubtedIy engaged In hllihustering, but,
although theevideuce against them was
as strong Ne could be-, they were In.
yariably let off. A jury couldn't be got
together ia Florida that would convict
any American arrested i5r rendering aid

1t IL difficult for many Of the old tim
ers to realize the growth Of ilapdoodle'
ism, which lsa good enough name for
the almost universal worship Of men
who are conspicuous by reason Of their
wealth. political position, or, in fact, for
any reason. One Of these old timers
ex.Congressman Wright Of Tennessee
who served four terms in TIE House just
previous TO the war, is now visiting
Washington. just to show that he
doesn't keep up with the fapdoodleism
Of the period iow remarks he made to
friend are appended; 81 am getting

see President on the ith OF March walk
from the white House to the Capitol 10
be indicted into the great office, with.
out any parade OF military, without any
beating Of drums and without any Of
the pageantry and osIenta,ious glitter
that usually accompany such occa'

Some more war talk has followed the
Issuing Of orders by the Navy Depart.
ment reyoking all leaves Of absence, ex-
cept ON account Of sickness, and direct
INK all navy officers on waiting orders to
report for duty. But Secretary Herbert
says there Is no significance attached t.
the orders further than his desire tc
have a. many Of the naval officers ~
possible take part In the extensive drill
ing program which has been mapped out
Q for our warships for this summer. d
/. course Secretary Herbert cannot hell
