SENATOR WHITE CHAIRMAN
Ho Wa, Supported by Friends of Ba'iy'
STRENGTHENS the Iafter's Chances.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20--The new Dem-
ocrdtic Congressional Committee elected
as chairman Senator White. OF California
The election OF secretary. which had been
expected, was postponed TO await the lac-
ton OF an organization committee OF
seven. which VIII be appointed by the
new chairman.
The election has attracted a good deal
OF attention i'm the House, owing 10 its
bearing on the speakership contest. Sem
ator " hite was supported by the friends
OF Representative Bailey. who are favor

case the next House is Democratic.
Messrs McRae, Of Arkansas, Richard
son. OF Tennessee. Osborne, OF Wyoming :,
and Myers. OF Indiana. had been promi-
nent i'm the race
owing to the speakership issue, how
ever. the friends Of Mr. Bailey felt that
II was desirable a Senator should head the
committee. so that the chairmanship and
the speakership should be entirely sepa-
rated.
The meeting was quite fully attended,
thirty-three members being present
which. allowing for the several Orphan
States" made almost u full representa-
tion.
As TO the secretaryship-it Is generally
conceded that Lawrence Gardner. the
present incumbent win retire. The most
pre- mnent candidate before the organiza- .
ton committee is James Kerr, former
clerk of the House
The meeting adopted a resolution re-
Affirming its adherence to the chicago
platform.

garded as distinct triumph by the silver
men, who were anxious TO have a chair

MI DeSn1randlal.A

1t has been the boast of the American
republic that our organic law provided
ways and means to change the policy
and administration of the government
by the ballot, and that such reforms
as the people desire can be obtained by
peaceable and lawful means, without
the revolution that accompanies vital
reforms in monarchial governments.
But this beautiful theory has failed in
practice. In the early history of the ma
ton and under different circumstances,
the ballot, unpurchased and unintimi-
dated has determined important ma
tional crises; in the days of Jefferson
1t removed the federal and installed into
power the Democratic, or Republican
party, as 1t was then called, and there
are later instances in the United States
of the effective power of the ballot, but
as early as 1874, the decentralization of
the ballot had striking instance, when

1t was a private letter and could not be

The Maine was blown up in Havana
harbor. Without waiting for any facts
the cur press declared it an accident.
They suppressed the facts. They pub
lished faxed" interviews. 1t became
apparent that the Maine was wrecked
by torpedo. The cur press insinuated
that the Cubans did it, or that it was
done by some unauthorized person. They
pleaded that Spain could not be held re-
sponsible.
All over the country the "cur" organs
are whining excuses for Spain and fawn-
ing at the feet of their bond holding
masters. 1t is enough to make an hon.

JinEOes and Yellow Ours.
(By Frederick Upham Adams

(By Frederick Upham Adams.)
The money power and the corporation
press Of the United States are accomp-
Ices with Spain in the murder of $50
American sailors. At this writing they
are frantically attempting to wash the
blood stains from the deck of the Maine.
Spain, the coward and butcher, has been
given shelter and protection behind
American bank doors, while gold press
curses and reviles those who demand
Justice and righteous vengeance.
The developments since the destruc-
tion of the Maine almost surpass human
belief. At the command of Wall street,
on a signal from London, every in
fluence which brought about the cleo
tion Of William Mckinley and the tri-
umph of the gold conspiracy has been
massed for the defense of Spanish mur-
derers and for the traducing of Ameri-
can honor. Never before in the history
of the world has so revolving a spect-
acle been witnessed. Never before in the
history of nation was there justifica-
tion for such an act as that of Senator
Mason, when he called for a congress
sional investigation frankly insnuating
that the Mckinley administration could
not be trusted to render a fair verdict
upon the mangled bodies of American
sailors.
There is not one chance in a hundred
million that the explosion on the Maine
was an accident. In all the history of
the American navy this is the first in
stance of an explosion of a warship in
times of peace. thousand circum-
stances point direct to Spanish treach-
cry; not one to the theory of an acci-
dent. Every naval expert whose opinion
Is worth recording promptly says it was
the work of torpedo. Every banker
and Wall street stock gambler, every
paid retainer of the gold combine, every
agent of European Jew money lenders.
every lick-spittle whose services are
prostituted to plutocracy, every cring-
ing, cowardly slave from whose carcass
the last trace of genuine Americanism
has departed has Joined in the chorus of

who has dared assert his patriotism

FUSION AND BURIAL.
Wilmar Tribune.

The number of fusion and success
articles which have recently appeared in
The Tribune would seem to indicate
that fusion will be successful In it's own
cOnsummatiOn in this country at least.
1t can nowhere and never be successful
in anything else. Now, what in the
name Of common sense do the Populists
want fusion for. Fusion laid the Peoples
Party PROSTATE in '96 and the present
pet scheme of the fusionists will bury it
in '9S, that is if their scheme succeeds
1t will bury the most important Peo-
pies party principles along with the
party so deep that it will take decades
before they will be up again If indeed
they ever will.
1t is impossible for me to understand
why Populists would fuse with "rejuve-
mated" Democrats and silver Repub-
licans. What issue have they in COM
mon? Only free coinage of silver and
gold. The Democrats and Populists want
an income tax and oppose government
by injunction while we have yet to hear
from silver Republicans on these points
Either of these, income tax or no gov
ernment by injunction, is in my opinion
of as much Importance as the coinage
question. Fusion Populists clamor an
alliance between themselves, rejunevat-
ed Democrats, and silver Republicans
As do these latter themselves What is
the rejuvenated Democracy? 1t is the
party that last year stood for silver IN
