The Texas Democratic committee has
adopted rule providing that only men
who supported the Chicago platform in
1895 shall be permitted to participate in
the Democratic primaries, which detei-
mination has driven out of the patty q
large number Of Democrats, and seems
likely to eventually drive them into the
Republican party, which has already
gained so rapidly in Texas that one-
fourth of the votes of the State were
cast for the Republican tariff measure

thing unheard OF before in Democratic
politics.

When a camp OF mobilization was first
established at Chickamauga, there were
many amateur critics who scoffed at the
notion OF gathering an army 80 far
away from the probable scene of action,
and who called loudly for a muster of
volunteers at Key West or the Dry
Tortugas. so that the soldiers could at
once take ship for Cuba without further
difficulty. 1t is likely that these gentle.
men would change their minds If they
had lived under tent at Tampa during
the past month with the mercury stand
ing at ninety.eight, and the days spent
in marching around dusty drill ground,
clothed in the heavy uniform prescribed
by the militia regulations Of the North.

serious respects, the condition of our

The actual average strength of each
regiment is one half the nominal re-
quired quota, and, to crown all. there is
no man al the head OF things or any

WASHINGTON Nov. 1~I.-tSpecial.) The
expression from the merchants of Boston
against expansion 10 the extent of taking

oil an Eastern sentiment to limit expansion
to Eastern trade. Because the East will

SENATE JOBS IN DEMAND.
They Are All That the PopuIists VIII
Have After Stanley II In

TOPEKA, Nov. 11.-tSpecial.) The scram-
BILE among Populists for positions in the
state senate has already begun. The senate
Is the only branch of the state government
that the Populist party has left. and as
q consequence scores of candidates are
springing up for each OF the subordinate
positions. There are already three cam
didates in the field for chief clerk of the
~senate-James Morphy. of Topeka; Grant
Harrington. of Hiawatha. and Marion Wat
son. of Hutchinson. Watson was chief clerk
two years ago and when the war broke
out Leedy appointed him chief musician OF
one of the Kansas regiments. He has writ
ten to every Pop senator. and a friend of
his says that he has secured almost enough
pledges to insure his election as chief c.erk.
Grant Harrington was clerk of the senate
committee on railroads two years ago.
When the Leedyites were pouring hot shot
into Senator Harris on account of his stand
on the railroad bill Harrington came TO the
rescue OF the senator and gave the state
administration a roasting that silenced II.
In doing this. he made some enemies in
the senate. He was very active. however.
in the campaign just closed. and did IA
great deal of printing for The Pop COM

RIDDLE NOT TO BLAME.
Defeat ms Anyone Could
Have Done.

TOPEKA. Nov. 11.-tSpecial.) AS pre-
dicted in The Journal several weeks ago,
Taylor Riddle. chairman of the Pop state
committee. is being blamed for the de-
Feat Of the Leedy administration From
every section of the state comes the report
that seif-styled Pop leaders are saying:
Riddle caused II" the fact is. Riddle
l. not TO blame. He did the best he could.
NO FoDullst in the state could have lone
better. Inc record Of the Populist admin
istfatlon Itself and the patriotism of the
Kansas people and their desire TO stand
BY President Mckinley are the causes of
Popuist defeat. Riddle planned a scncol
district organization of the state and
urged that 1t be thoroughly worked. but
the conversion of many cOUntry Populists
TO Repubiicanism on account of the va
rious issues involved and the Indifference
OF the rest of the Pops made 1t impossible
10 carry out this plan. He did everything
in his power to awaken interest. but fail
ed. The people generally had become dis
Susted with the present reform admins
tration.. and they could not be enthnsed.
No political manager in the state ever
worked harder than Riddle. but it vas in
the cards for Populism to meet its Water
loo. Instead of Riddle being condemned
by the members OF his own party for his
management of the campaign. he should
be congratulated by them for getting as
many votes for the Pop ticket as he did.
The Leedy administration should be blam-
ed, not Riddle.
