THE WAR BOARD.

Oakland Enquirer: The Chicago
Tlmes-Herald" comes to the defense
or the much-abused War Board, and
is the only newspaper which we have
seen that feels called upon to do so. 1t
quotes Secretary Long as saying that
the board has not made a single mis-
take since the beginning of the war"
and follows this up by presenting evil
dence that the orders issued to Admiral
Dewey, Admiral Sampson and Commo-
dore Schley were the briefest possible
general instructions and left those
commanders perfectly free as to de-
tails of policy.

TnE SITUATION.

The State Popul,st convention
has passed into history. The party
had allowed its central committe
to advocate fusion and to meet at
sundry and diverse times with like
committees from the old parties
until they had created a sentiment
in favor OF "an honorable fusion. -"
And when the convention met at
Colorado Springs last Thursday
there was no opposition to the
proposition to select a committee
to confer with the old parties. Ac-
cortlingly fusion committee was
promptly elected aud for thirty.six
hours the convention awaited it's
report. When the convention as.
sembled the almost universal ex.
preston was that no fusion was
possible unless the popul,sts were
conceded the governor.
A committee Was selected with
Tom Patterson as chief-a man
who bolted the state ticket four
years ago and the national ticket
two years ago, and who, in local
and state affairs ever since lie
joined the party, has been trying
TO mould a party of his own.
During the conference of the
committee the delegates were
urged. from time to time, to be
patient by the assurance that the
result would be satisfactory. And
when the report was finally read
the convention would have prompt
ly rejected it had vote been
taken, but . recess was deemed the
proper thing and during that re-
cess every lawyer in the conven-
tion-and they we're many-be-
came candidate for attorney gen.
eral, and when the convention re.
assembled they were recognized"
for speeches and, of course, all
wanted fusion. Mr.. Patterson
closed the debate and occupied
half an hour talking about himself
and another half hour extolling the
virtues of Charley Thomas, and
when the roll was called, at about
six O'Clock, the report was adopted
by 1904 for, to S5} against. With
the announcement Of this vote the
enthusiasm OF the convention died
out.

The JOURNAL has always been
in the middle of the road. Its ed
itor saw the folly of fusion years
ago. No party ever thinks of fu-
sion until it becomes a power and
when it falls into the hands of
Office seekers. Aud when party
once adopts fusion it ceases to
grow in numbers. Experience
shows that fusion means death to
the party that allows itself to take
q subordinate part in the alliance.

but tenth at best of the total organiza-
ton.
There are some few causes Of general
complaint running throughout the regi-
ment and certain officers come IN for no
end of censure at the hands Of the boys,
In fact 1t seems from the statements of the
men that all the Seventies trials and tribu-
iations were due to the inefficiency or the
willful acts Of their commanding officers.
Brigadier General Harrison Gray Otis Is
accused by the men Of not having wanted
to take the Seventh regiment with him to
Manila and Colonel Berry Is accused of not
exerting himself to have the regiment sent
away until after the Times of this city at
tackled him. The boys say openly that the
California officers were overawed by the
officers from the east, and In consequence,
the Seventh suffered.
An instance of this is cited by the men in
the Camp Merritt affair. The Seventh and
q New York regiment went in upon the
dumping grounds selected for a camp on
the same day. The colonel of the New
York regiment kept his men in the camp
Just twentyfour hours, and then he moved
them to the Preside, saying his men should
not be camped in "such a hole"

but the men were charged in two companies
