When the hour for the start came IL
looked as IL IL would be impossible for

the perfect jam OF river craft. Sud
denly there was n movement on the

started forward with a slow, stately

the New York's prov came in line with

formed in a regular line. The start
was accompanied by tremendous
cheering, screeching voices and
booming cannon.
At Gen. Grants tomb, which marked
the beginning OF the return OF the

A NEW ISSUE SOUGHT.
Democrats Are Looking About for a
Substitute for Free
silver.

Two weeks ago Representative
Bailey found himself confronted in the
Texas democratic convention by body
OF enthusiastic delegates opposing the
policy which he advocated and voted
for in the house. When the convention
adjourned the alleged democratic lead
err OF the house went out, as he went
out after contentious with Speaker
Reed. vanqulshed advocate. The Tex
as democracy declared for territorial
expansion.
A few days after the Texas incident
prominent paper gave an interesting
story regarding the efforts Of certain
democratic leaders TO commit the party
to territorial expansion, TO the end that
the party may have an attractive issue
in 1900. Ex-Gov. Stone. Of Missouri, ac-
cording to this story, has been inter
ested with other democratic leaders in
finding a new issue for 1900 because
they recognize that they cannot win on
the sixteen-to-one fad. IL was set forth
that the ex-governor had been in New
York and other eastern states consult
ing leaders regarding the course the
party should pursue and what issue
can take the place OF sixteen 10 one in
1900. They hit upon the policy OF ter
ritorial expansion and agreed TO try it
in the state conventions.
Occurrences indicate that there was
basis in fact for this story. The Texas
convention was carried for territorial
expansion in spite OF the opposition OF
Mr.. Bailey. In the Missouri demo-
cratic convention il was question that
was contested. Representative Bland
took advantage Of his position as chair
man Of the convention TO assail terri
torial expansion, indicating that he
saw i'm IL n purpose TO relegate TO the
rear the one issue that has given him
prominence, the sixteen-to-one fad. Ex-
Gov. Stone was there TO advocate ex-
pansion. and compromise practically
