CHANDLER SINGS OUR SONG.

CHANDLER SINGS OUR SONG.
We like Senator Chandler. He is one Re-
publican among ten thousand, and he is
altogether lovely as an assistant Silver
Democrat. True, the Senator sometimes
palters with US in double sense; is at
one and the same time a gold man in
act and u silver man in theory; but
for all this he gives 10 the Democrats
tie true-hlue Democrats of the Chicago con-
vention stamp-much aid and great COM
fort. This was made evident by his late
speech on the money question, and the
fact was emphasized by his resolution, Of
fered in the Senate on Tuesday last, on
biInetallisn. In this resolution he de
clares that the United States should not
acquiesce in tie single gold standard, and
that the efforts Of the government in all
its branches should be steadily directed
to secure and maintain the use of silver
as well as geld as standard money, with
the free coinage OF both.
Very good. We have no doubt that Mr..
Br yam is III an ecstacy of delight over this
action of the distinguished Senator from
New Hampshire, and that when MI. Bryan
arrives in Washington this month he Will
faII upon the Senator's neck and call him
his long-lost brother.
And who knows what the future may
bring forth? Is it not possible that the
Democratic ticket OF 500 may be Bryan
and Chandler, and that, under the leader
ship of these distinguished statesmen, the
Democracy may sweep on again to a slo-
rioas victory? The unexpected happens
very often; and why, therefore, may not
this wonderful event happen hands do wn?''
And. If it should happen. what them VIII

Ienium, SEE the glory of the Lord pass by,

The latest development in the close
struggle over the control ofthe new Senate
is that the gold Democratic Senators will
vote TO seat the man who may be named
by Gov. Bradley, of Kentucky. 1t is said
that Lindsay will favor this course, and
that Gray viii support him.
The basis for this action is the argument
that the Kentucky case is not on all fours
with the Mantle and Allen prccedeuts. The
claim is made shat the Blackburn vacancy
will not occur until March 4. At that time
the Kentucky legislature will not be in
session, and will never have undertaken to
fill the vacancy. So the claim is made that
the Gubernatlonal right of appointment is
preserved.
There is no doubt that the nominee
OF Gov. Bradley can be seated If the gold
Democrats vote for him. This plan is said
TO meet the approval of Secretary Carlisle,
Senator Blackburn, and who in common
most other Kentuckians. expects a Demo-
cratic legislature TO be chosen this fall.
1t is rcasserted al the capitol that Brad
ley VIII not summon the legislature in
special session under any circumstances,
and will give the appointment To John w
Yerkes. Yerkes' nomination will be a.
distinct setback to the aspirations OF Brad
ley's slightly beloved friend, w. Godfrey
Hunter. Yerkes' presence as an appointed
Senator viii simplify the passage OF the
tariff bill, and if there should be n new
Republican legislature Bradley viii expect
to be evindicated by an election to the Senate.
Senator Biackburn's friends are known
To be wen pleased with the situation. They
regard his election by the new legislature
as certainty. Although Bryan lost the
State OF Kentucky by "a small plurality, he
carried IA comfortable majority of the
legislative districts.

While thus supported he slipped and fell,
breaking the patelia of the right leg, and
is now totally helpless. Congressman
Thomas makes his favorable report on the
strength of the fact that il the soldier
