To THE EDITOR OF TIE sUN-Sir: One
of the most distinguished OF Democrats, known
throughout tho Union because Of his political
sagacity, q pronounced gold Democrat with
largo property interests at stake, remarked to a
friend OF mine the other day, who asked him
concerning tho future OF the Democratic party:

cratic leader OF tho days OF Democratic glory.
Only in tho Democracy Of which the Chicago
platform is the inspiration Is there any party

f~anaticai enthusiasm, and never has been 30

to-day. Tho contemplation Of these facts IL
painful for Democrats; but they cannot DO an
initiated for refusing TO recognize them; they
arc apparent as the main symptoms Of the
present morbid political diathesis at Washing

with an ultimate, though secretly cherished,
view Of putting him forward in 1900 as the only
possible savior of the Democratic partyi 1t was o
