SHEPARD AND DANFORTH.

In the course Of his speech at the Democratic
mass-meetng in Brooklyn on Thursday even
ing Mr.. Edward NJ. Shepard gave utterance 10
these melancholy reflections:
II is WEAKNESS and trial TO the men who
would If they could raise the standard of po-
i'ticai life to observe how short Is the memory
of even the most intelligent citizens for politi-
cal misbehavior. A successful candidate enter
ing his office and under pressure which often
times he would be glad to resist II he thought
he safely could is helped to greater or lesser be-
trayal Of the popular trust by the feeling that
the people will have forgotten all about it by
the time the next election shall come around.
Too often everything does blow in
a year. Again and again in political life we
see men with unblushng effrontery presume
with easy confidence upon popular forgetful
ness.
There Is a good deal In what you say, Mr..
Shepard. Look at Elliot Danforth candidate
for Northumberland on the ticket with Mr..
Van Wyck. You must have had Danforth In
mind, even while you were making dIsparaging
illusions to your fellowt ownsman, Mr.. Wood
ruff. candidate for the same office on the ticket
with Colonel Roosevelt, whom you admire and
respect Observe "the unblushing effrontery'
with which Elliot DanfOrth presumcs upon
popular forgetfulness. You remember all about
Danforth. don't you, Mr.. Shepard? How ms
a member of the State Board Of Canvassers in
1891 he not only violated n formal agreement
TO suspend action and abide by the decision Of
the Court Of Appeals. but defed the explicit
order OF that court counted a fraudulent and
forbidden return and enabled his party TO
steal the Legislature and send Mr.. Murphy TO
the United States Senate? You remember,
don't yOu Mr.. Shepard. that these are facts es-
tabllshed by the Court Of Appeals. which found
Danforih guilty and punished him? We nre
sure that Mr.. Shepard is not one OF the ntelll-
gent citizens the shortness of whose memory
for political misbehavior IS a WEAKNESS and n
trial TO him.
But II Is plea sure TO us 10 administer con-
ISOLATION to Mr. Shepard. The abominahle crime
which his candidate for Lieutenant-G Governor
helped SO signally to perpc'rate was not for
gotten In year. and has not been forgotten

SPANISH DEMOCRATS.

What would an Englishman. German or
Trenchman say If the biggest State Of the Union
should take this occasion to repudate the Presi-
dent and his policy? No one can suppose that Il
would not be construed as n popular rebuke.
Every foreign diplomat would think It meant a
popular desire TO check the Administration in It's
righ,fu demands Spain would so understand
II, and every Democratic voter this year is a
Spanish voter. Other European Powers inter
estcd In Spanish debts would so understand II
and would instantly strengthen their demand
for concessions. Great Britain is most friendly.
hut would not hesitate at all 10 believe that this
country had changed front and that it's Admin
istraion no longer in position TO represent
public opinion
Nobody can guess how much This change
would cost the country. 1t might cost more
than all the victories of the war have been
worth 1t might even cost foreign war Of
great magnitude because Great Britain Is to-
day ready to uphold the United States in almost
any foreign emergency, and with its support
possibilities of foreign disturbance are remote;
but Great Britain would not be ready If the
people Of the United States were not prepared
10 uphold their Government, and the difference
would mean much. France. for example. or
Germany, might be prepared to dictate TO this
country on almost any conceivable question, If
Great Britain were ont Of the way, with some
hope OF success. Neither would venture upon
any such step II the two ADgloSaxon nations
could be united Want OF confidence abroad In
the stability of the American Government can
not be treated lightly. except Ivy those who care
nothing for the welfare Of their country.
Possibly II seems to Croker and his associates
that they could make up by loud shouting for
their actual hostility 10 The Government. There
may be some evidence OF that disposition in the
near future. But all the shouting OF which even
Tammany lungs are capable will not make up
for the defeat OF the Government In the largest
State OF the Union. II Tammany had been
shrcwd enough TO make the campaign on State
issues only. If It had refused 10 nominate any
candidates for Congress and had declared that
II would not take the attitude Of antagonizlng

narts of the city was much smaller than 1t
ought 10 have been. Perhaps the fact that the

are few persons able TO he outdoors at all who
