BAYARD AND HIS HERO

IL IS Idle to conjecture who will be
! the candidates of the two great politi-
cal parties in 1900; conjecture NAV no
/ pleasant but it is proftless. This he
ing so how more than idle is the talk
OF ex-Ambassador Bayard about Mr..
Cleveland being the candidate of the
Democratic party three years hence.
He and the Democratic party have
parted company. 1t is true there are
those about him who regard him as
available for 1900, but compared with
the bulk of the voters of either nartv
they are insignificant m number.
Mr.. Bayard says the ex-president is
the logical leader of the Democracy
and before the present administration
is concluded he believes that almost
the unanimous vote of the people will
call upon him again to take the refns
Of government. 1t may be that Mr..
Cleveland is the logical leader of
the Democracy, but he is neither the
nominal nor the real leader He is no
longer identified with the Democracy;
he is the leader, the idol, the golden
calf of the national Democracy. That
organization is as separate and dis
tinct from the Democracy as is the
Republican party.
But why should the people want Mr..
Cleveland again in 1900? He was de-
feated in 1888, but he had great
party back of him, the party that
elected him in 1892. He no longer has
that party. for he has alienated it,
and the breach between him and it
grows wider and deeper each day.
So strong is prejudice against Mr.
Cleveland in the Democratic party that
it is almost an impossibility to do
him justice. That the prejudice exists
is his fault, but it does exist and is
very strong. With this premise it
may be said that the Democrats, and
assuredly the Republicans too. believe
that Mr.. Cleveland would take a third
term as president could he get it; and
there are not wanting those who be-
lieve he would not refuse a crown
were it offered him. During his first
term he was very loud in his protesta-
items that no man should be president
more than one term. The declaration
did much to endear him to the
Democracy; but he never repeated it.
No doubt the sentiments uttered by
Mr.. Bayard find an echo in the breasts
of some admirers of the ex-president
but it finds no echo in the breasts of
the American people no matter what |
their politics. The page or pages that |
Mr. Cleveland viii occupy in American |
history are already completed.

osMAN D1GNA.

A strange story comes from Pittsburg
regarding the identity of Osman Digna.
/ the hero of Plevna. and whose name
has once again become familiar. This
story, whether true or not, is worthy
the invention of the author of "Phroso."
The Pittsburg story runs as follows:
The dispatch from Constantinople
that announced that Osman Pasha has
! been appointed commander-in-chief of
the Turkish army in the field of Greece
has great interest for a Pittsburger.
who says that the hero of Plevna is an
American. There have been many di-
verse statements regarding the birth
place and career of this brilliant SOL
der but John Holiday, a police SER
geant of Pittsburg, says that the pasta
was born in east Tennessee in 1884, that
his name was Crawford, and that ne
served during the civil war
Mr.. Holiday says Crawford was ap-
pointed as a cadet to West Point. but
got into trouble with his superior Of
ficers and was dismissed in disgrace for
INSTRUMENTATION. When the war broke
out he raised the First Tennessee bat
terry and was commissioned captain In
1868 he was authorized to raise a regi-
ment of artillery and succeeded in or
ganizing five batteries Holiday says
that in 1864 Colonel Crawford, as he
was then called, was dismissed from
the service on a charge of appropriat-
ing government property to his own
use. He then went to Mexico. where
he obtained a commission in the Mex
lean army and fought against Maxi
milan.
Crawford continued in the Mexican
army until after the war, and then be-
came wealthy through his interest in
some mines. When peace was restored, /
Crawford resigned his commission and
went TO New Jersey, where he pur-
chased an estate. but soon grew tired
of leading such quiet life. Then he |
Joined the Turkish army, where he
rapidly rose to the front and won great |
distinction
1t is a very nice story, but absolutely |
fails to identify Crawford with Osman /
Digna. If it be Crawford, he has sue
ceeded wonderfully well in concealing
his identity. DR.. Angel, who always
had remarkable success in finding out /
who the scoiis were that had pumped /
the freshs, should be instructed to look
the matter up. If Osman Digna should |
turn out to be Crawford. he would |
doubtless find it an easy matter to
prove his near relationship to Colonel
Crawford of Charlottesville. That re-
lationship would also explain Hopkfn-
son Smiths partiality for the Turks

Mr.. ]. C. Holt, of Grand Rapids,
told about the result which had fol-

National Democrats, he said, had
nominated candidates fer regents and
for supreme court judges. For this
ticket they had polled 81, 900 votes, and
carried one county, though the Palmer
and Buckner ticket poiled only 5000
votes. He pointed out that this showed
clearly that thousands of sound mone2
Democrats had voted directly for Nc |

polled then was by no means q test
of their strength. Mr.. Holt told about |
all this, but he did not tell about the
