body If the populists end by pulling
Bryan off their ticket and giving
Tom Watson another running mate.
The feeling between democrats and
populists is very far from cordial at
this time, and it is growing worse in
stead of better. Senator Jones in
terYiew, Safeguarding the southern
populists, and the result of the Ala
bama election, have both added
materially to the i'll will which the
populist leaders bear the democrats.
Whether they go at each others
Threats or make friends and vote to-
gether Will not make the slightest
difference III the result Of the cleo
ton.
There is no discount on the gall of
those New York gold democrats who
are reported to have proposed that
in return for their votes for McKin-
ley and Hobart electors the republi-
cans should agree to help them elect
a gold democrat as Senator's Hills
successor. The man whoattempts to
sell a gold brick does not make Il
moro glaring attempt to get some
thing for nothing than this was.
While republicans will welcome the
votes of gold democrats for McKin-
ley and Hobart, they are notdepend-
emit upon those votes for success in
New York, or elsewhere. Senator
Hills successor is expected to be
republican.
