Both wings of the Democratic party
flapped together yesterday for the first
time in several weary months. With the
help of a handful of Republicans, the
Democrats and Populists defe ated the
plan to bring the West Point cadets down
here to enliven the Inauguration parade.
The two factions could not get together,
and it was not without a sharp exchange
OF salty comments that the temporary
alliance was arranged. Gray and Allen
united in sarcastic references to the po-
sition of each other, but when the vote
came they all went together. The few
Republicans who opposed this feature of
the Inauguration parade and the gold
Democrats based their hostility on the
ground of economy. But the silver Dem
ocrats and Populists took the broader
ground that these boys should not be
brought to invest the Inauguration parade
with the appearance of animperial triumph.
The economists won their contention,
hut the anti-imperialists lose theirs The
government will save the expense of sub
sisting the cadets while here. But the
boys are coming, the Senate willy y.
President Cleveland will, of course, order
them to come, for he loves TO do things
that displease the Senators, and the cit-
Zens of Washington will see that the future
commanding officers OF our armies are
cared for handsomely while here.
1t will be an elegant little junket for
the STRIPPING sojers of the Hudson. 1t
will be the first real outing that many
of them have had since they first entered
the academy. These frisky boys Will
put a dash of bright color into theinaugnra-
tion parade and enliyen the nations quad
rennial hop and won't do thing" around
the town generally.
There is no doubt that the visits of the
West Pointers will become Il feature of
all Inauguration parades hereafter. 1t was
reported yesterday that the Naval cadets
will also be- brought over from Annapolis.
