NOTHING has shown the absolute
demagogery of William J. Bryan
more clearly than . single line of his
Fourth.of-July letter to the Tammany
society. in which he asserted that the
principles Of the Chicago platform
are gaining ground, "the failure Of
the Republican policies to restore
prosperity having given new impe-
t6s to the movement" This dema-
gogery Of the cheapest type, while it
might be overlooked in the ward
healer or curbstone orator, is mex
cusable in q presidential candidate or
ex-candidate. The Republican
policies to restore prosperity" have
not yet been placed upon the statute
books, owing to the delay enforced
by Mr.. Bryan's own followers, who
control the Senate and have made it
impossible to enact a single line of
the legislation which promises !pros-
perity. Mr.. Bryan knows this He
knows that the effect cannot be ex-
pected before the cause exists. Yet
he gravely, and with generalization,
in letter deliberately written for po-
Iitical effect, talks, less than four
months after the Inauguration Of his
successful rival, about "the fIilure
Of the Republican policy" knowing
that not one line of Republican legis-
lstiOn has been enacted, and that his
party is responsible for that fact.
This sort OF political pettifoggiug is
beneath a reputable politician or
statesman worthy the confidence OF
any party or people.

At THE G.. SHOPS.

1t is very probable thai the
"News is a little too sanguine in
its predictions that passenger coach
shops will be added To the Illinois
Central shops here. 1t is to he re-
GREETED that the report is not authen-
tic. As ma ter of fact, however,
the Illinois Central does not build
,aches even at Chicago, but buys
them from car manufacturing works
There is no cause for disappoint-
meni, however, for the work at the
,hops here will increase instead of
decrease, and it is IN re than prob
able that other extensive improve
ments will take place here, but
whether these improvements viii
consist Of new freight depot, adj
ditions to the shops or round houses
or n grain elevator, is not now at al
certain. All of these Improvement
NAV cone and some of them are quit,
probable.
Certain it is that the shops here
are now the second in size on The
whole Illinois Central system. Forty
nine box cars will be built here this
summer, which of itself means work
for many men. The shops are nov
so large and SO completely equipped
that a vast amount OF additional
work can easily be handled.

HOPE kEVIVING.

From all sections Of the country

c.n Economist" Factories and
foundries that have lain idle for
many months will again be started
w and additional labor will be en-
p'oyed in those that have been run
ming on reduced time with smaller
force. The change has come almost
within few weeks. Hope was re-
vived by the election Of Major Nc
Kinley as President, but the we'll
known difficulty Of Fastening through
congress q tariff bill has delayed
realization. As it becomes more
plain that home industries are really
to be protected from the competition

fused into American enterprises. Un-
certainty cbils trade. The convic-
ton that four years of protection are

tor could weigh as he should the mer-
its aud claims Of the applicants, he
was expected to wear out the patience
of the President with his importuni-
ties.
The natural result followed. Be-
cause he could not Gland" this one
or that one, he is now censured for
not being able to cope with Senator
Quay or Senat Plat or some other
of the Senators who are skilled ia all
of the arts and delicate ways by
which offices are secured. Consul
ships were expected abundantly
Diplomatic positions were asked for
in no small way. Comfortable posi-
tons in the Indian service and s2500
places in the departments were look
ed upon as the merest triiles, TO be
picked up on every cal at the White
House. And Senator Deboe was ex-
pected to get all Of these places under
pain of being considered weaker
man than the long time Senators who
have controlled their states and di-
rected national politics for a genera
ton.
The Paducah daily sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1896-1898, 1897-07-13

In the matter Of the four Ken
lucky appointment regarded as
estate offices" the marshal, sur
veyor, district attorney aud pension
agent, the attitude of Senator Deboe
is entirely creditable and dignifed.
While he had had personal obligations
growing ont of the senatorial election,
he realized that they could not en-
tirely change the political drift Of the
state for a twelvemonlh. He knew
that the administration and the party
organization had obligations growing
out of valued political services that
ought not and could not be ignored
because of the election of a new Sen
ator seven months after the close of
the campaign and tSJ months after
the President had enteied rpon the
duties of his Office.
1t is not remarkable that those WI
feel they have especial claims on Sen
ator Deboe should urge that every
one of these positions belongs to him
by divine right, and beer use the Sen
ator does not agree with them ia
their untenable position. they COM
plain to the press that be does not
contend for his "rights" and is too
easily "turned down" by the admin
istratlon. Let us see how just is this
complaint.

substitute wds thS strongest kind of
personal complmeNN, and proof posi-
tive that Senator Deboe's indorse-
ment carries great weight with the
administration.
In the Louisville district Senator
Deboe has deferred to the wishes of
his warm friend and supporter, May
or Todd, liz indorsing MIR. Sapp.
In the Richmond district Mr..
Ierkes was practically unopposed
from the moment he announced his
candidacy, and his appointment was
almost universally conceded as one of
the certainties of politics, no matter
who might be elected Senator. At
the sane time Mr.. Yerkes and Mr.
Deboe have been fast political
friends, and at st. Louis Mr.. Deboe
voted for Mr.. Yerkes for National
Committeeman and Mr.. Yerkes voted
fer Mr.. Deboe for chairman of the
Kentucky delegation.
In the Covington district all the
political lines pointed to Mr.. Comm.
gore, wac was one of MIR. Deboe' s
staJnch friends and supporters and
the only hitch was the Senator's feel
ing of obligation to Mr.. Lieberth for
valued services in the closing hours
of the Senatorial contest in the legis-
lature. 1t is generally known that
Senator Deboe counseled and aided
in bringing about the agreeable I'M
derstanding between Mr.. Comingore
and MIR. Lieborlh 10y which it is un-
derstood the latter withdrew and will
accept the chief d,putyship under the
former. And yet the erudite cnrre-
spondents say that Senator Deboe
was again turned down" by being
"forced" to withdraw his indorse-
ment of Mr.. Lieberth aud substitute
Mr.. Comingore.
In the Lexington district it is ua-
me- essary to SO into details, bat sut-
flee to say that Senator Deboe and
Mr.. Roberts have been good friends
for long time, and served pleasant
ly together on last years state cam
paign committee. The senator rs
plblicly stated that the President g.
pressed the desire that Mr. Roberts
should he appointed collector Of the
Seventh district, to which the Senator
responded that The selection was most
agreeable to him. This is another OF
the humiliating "turn downs the
wicked newspaper boys say Senator
Deboe has received from the admins
tration.
The Paducah daily sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1896-1898, 1897-07-13

Senator Deboe has secured the APP
pointment of DR.. james as marshal
although it is known that the Presi-
dent felt most kindly disposed toward
another applicant, and it Is believed
that the Senator Uill land his closes
political friend, Chairman Barnett, a.
Surveyor of the Port Of Louisville.
These are the two choicest offices in
Kentucky.
Senator Deboe believes that the
Eleventh district is entitled to one of
the four state places, and as Con-
gresham Colson and the whole party
organization desires that MIR. Hill be
appointed District Attorney it is I'M
derstood the Senator will give him
bis earnest support.
1t is n tier of newspaper and gen.
eral gossip that President Mckinley
desired to appoint Mr.. Combs to The
marshalship, but Yielded his prefer
ence rather than disappoint Senator
Deboe, who was greatly interested ia
DR.. James. At the request of the
President, Senator Deboe gave his
cordial endorsement to Mr.. Combs
for pension agent.
In view of this recital OF facts
known TO every Kentuckian and every
Kentucky newspaper man in Wash
inCton, how absurd it is for our Jour
nalistic friends to harp upon the
"lack OF consideration" shown Sena-
Tor Deboe by the administration. At
this distance it looks as though the
Senator had gotten along swimmingly |
with the President.
These same writers also say that

boe's recommendations for post.

administration, just as though that

While ura7 ''i' subject it is not
inappropriate ~ remark that Senator
Deboe recognizes, il some Others do
not, that national administration
has obligations and duties that some
times run counter to the expressed
wishes and preferences OF Senators
and their recognition does not neces-
sarily imply turning down'of the
Senators.
To secure an appointment at the
hands Of an administration, an appli-
cant must possess fitness, political
aud personal. This must be vouched
for in no vague manner. IL seekers
after Office weighed their own fitness
as it must be weighed by the persons
responsible for the appointment, the
Senators and the administration
would be relieved Of the painful ne
cessity of many refusals. Personal
fitness and political fitness are con-
sidered. Service rendered TO the
party aud the ability to render SER
vice to the Government in the po-
sition asked for must go together
And even when every fitness is pos.
sessed, there must come sometimes

SENATOR OEBOe|
AND The
ADMINISTRATION
Kentucky's Republican Senator
Has Not Been Turned
Down BY the
President.
A Just Statement of the Senator's
Influence, and OF His Position
In Making Endorsements
for Government Offices.

A great deal has been SAID abou
Senator Deboe's influence, or rather
his lack of influence with the admin
istration in the matter of securing APP
pointments for Kentuckians and the
distribution of Kentucky patronage.
The following statement of the situa-
ton is made by the Lexington
Leader" whose editor is Mr.. Sam
j. Roberts, the chairman Of the late
Republican campaign committee.
No one in Kentucky is better able TO
speak of this subject than Mr.. Rob
erts. The article is therefore most
interesting and most timely. The
statement is lengthy, but we give the
most important portion. The
"Leader" says:
The enterprising Washington cor
respondents Of cer'nio Cincinnati aud
Louisville Leasray.4s seem deter
mined to embarrass Senator DebOe
by insisting that he lacks influence
with the administration aud has been
unable to secure Kentucky's share of
outside appointments.
When there is special dearth of
political news Of Kentucky flavor
these same veracious correspondents
ring the changes on the old WORKOUT
story that even in the matter OF ap-
pointments within the state Senator
Deboe's selections are usually turned
down and he is made to stand spon.
sor for the personal selections vi
President Mckinley.
These young men of the press as
sumo that Senator Deboe ought to !
have a personal friend CT crony APP
pointed to every office in Kentucky,
and that whenever selection is made
out Of consideration for local CON
iitions, or in accordance with recog-
nized political obligations, it neces-
sarily implies sighting of the Sen
ator by the President.
Senator Deboe is too broad-gaug,d
in his treatment Of political patron
age to entertain such an opinion, and
lis Endorsements prove that he does
not take the narrow view that the Of
ices in Kentucky are his individual
belongings, to be bestowed as purelyI
PERSONAL fayor., regardless of pOlill'
,al obligations or the advice of the
,arty organization.

Much ado has been made 10 the
newspapers over the assumed fact that
Mr.. Franks, Of Greensboro, was the
only one of the five collectors in
dorsed by Senator Deboe Of his own
free will, and was the only one re-
jected by the administration. Every
one knows that the only reason Mr..
Franks was Objectionable to Presl-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Gage
was because of the political indict-
ment hanging over him and the read
mess with which the President ao-
cepted and appointed Mr.. Yanda'l,
who is Senator Deboe's tOwnsman
and warm friend, as MIR. Franks

ton.
AS a matter OF fact, Senator De d.
Doe has given much more time and
attention to the oflice-seekers from
Kentucky than men like Quay and
Plat give to their constituents
These past masters in politics do not
worry much over the opportunities
of every applicant who thinks him
self entitled to federal position. OF
course, but small part of the men
10 party can secure Office There
fore n senator must use great dis
erection and much firmness in bestow-
ing his endorse nents. This discrim.
nation is exercised by men like Quay
aud Platt so that Washington is not
overrun by eilice seekers from their
states. They do within their own
states that sitting of claims that Sen
ator DebDe has had to do at Wash
ington.
Moreover, each OF these more ex-
perienced senators knows all OF the
many ins and ous of the depart
ments, to know which is due a large
part Of success in securing Office for
constituents. They have been iptlu-
entail in the appointment Of the high.
er department officials in the past
but naturally find 1T easier now to Sc
cure co operation il promoting the
claims of friends than is possible with
any new Senator. And again these
older Senators have advantages grow
ing out Of distinguished campaign
services and campaign alliances which
are not enjoyed by Senators who are
just entering national political life.
la the end Kentucky will be
treated to her share of offices. The
administration has a hard task in
showing its high appreciation of the
services of all those TO whom is due
the great victory OF 1896. But it is
hoped that the disappointed will real
ize that there are more faithful Re-
publicans than there are offices or
even oflice-seekers, and that not ON
the shoulders of Senator Dcboe should
be laid the responsibility for the fail
ure of Kentucky to get al the offices
that her able sons demand.
In these observations on the dlsap-
pointment of Kentucky ofiice-seekers
there is no thought Of criticizing any
many for seeking public office.
The lesson we are teaching Is that
disappointments are inevitable, and
that here in Kentucky it is unjust 10
hold Senator Deboe or President Nc
Einley responsible because many Of
tn Sc who aspire aud deserve well Of
the party have been grievously disap-
pointed.
