THE COMMITTEE MEETING

As foreshadowed by the HERALD S special
correspondent, the Democratic state CEN
trail committee has selected Sacramento as
the place for the next Democratic state
convention to assemble. This is the first
recognition of the kind that the capitol
city has received from the Democracy in
seventeen years. Presumably the com.
Inittee concluded that Sacrarnento's turn
had come. In that time San Francisco,
Oakland, Stockton, San Jose and Los
Angeles have been favored with the state
convocations of the party of the people.
and it is perhaps right that Sacramento
should be shown that no prejudice exists
against her even though she be so strongly
Republican.
There is little doubt but that the conven.
ton could have been won by Los Angeles
if an energetic campaign for it had been
commenced in time. But the result is
better as it is as far as this city is con-
cerned, for it will leave Los Angeles free
to compete for the convention of two years
hence, which will be more largely at
tended affair, lasting several days longer
than the one that meets at Sacramento.
According to The HERALD's special the
suggestion of this city for the next con-
vention met with manifestations Of hearty

Tn, Right Sort of Democrats

Terre Haute Gazette: A Washington
special says:
"Ex-Member of Congress W. j, Bryan of
Nebraska was at the capital today, en-
deavoring to sound southern sentiment on
tue question of boiling the Democratic
nomination in the event that the Demo-
cratic convention refused to recognize
silver. Il is said that he secured the pledge
of number of the representatives from
South Carolina, but when he reached
Georgia he met different situation. Mr..
Crisp told Mr.. Bryan that there might be
two sets OF delegates from Georgia, but
that he was confident the free silver dele
gates would be admitted to the convention.
MIR. Crisp also informed Mr.. Bryan that
the Democrats of Georgia would make
their fight for free silver in the convention,
but if they failed there they would return
home and work zealously for the whole
ticket. The Democrats of Georgia, Mr..
Crisp said, were silver men, but, at the
same time, they were Democrats, and
would not bolt the ticket because they
could not have :beir way.
The attitude of ex-Speaker Crisp does
him credit. Democracy stands for more,
much more, than the one question of

sure, but it is only one. and temporary

''PoTATo PATCH" PINGREE, as Detroit's
mayor is known, is throwing into conster-
nation the machine Republicans of Michi-
gan. He is out for the gubernatoriai
nomination OF his party. and is arousing
feeling in his favor by making a politico-
lecturiDg trip through the state. His tour
has become one of triumph. enthusiastic
crowds greeting him at every point. The
men who have all along supposed that
they carried the Republican politics of
the Wolverine state in their vest pockets
are at loss to know how to down him.
The chances are that he will do all the
downing that is to be done. Major Pingree
won his sobriquet, Potato Patch" because
of his successful advocacy of the idea of
allowing people unable to obtain
employment in the usual lines of
industry to utilize the vacant lots
of Detroit in the growing of vege-
tables. He realized the truth that land
and labor are the prime factors in the pro-
duction of the things by which humanity
subsists. and that therefore idle land and
idle labor should be brought together
Through his energetic efforts the holders of
hundreds of vacant lots in Detroit we're in
duced to permit their use for the raising of
crops, and thus large number of people
have been tided over hard seasons. He
has served several terms as mayor and
threatens to become a national character.

THE House has commenced to build q
record for economy. 1t has reduced the
salary of the Presidents private secretary
from $4,000 to $500 per annum. This
is no doubt looked on as an important
achievement by the members voting for
the reduction, but it will be considered
very small business by most right thinking
people. The Presidents private secretary
has most onerous duties to perform. Great
responsibility is frequently thrust upon
him. The position calls for a man of fine
education, good executive ability. much
tact and plenty of experience in dealing
with all kinds of people. A man who is
satisfied with $500 as an annual salary
in such place is hardly the proper person
to fill the billet.
