Ladies' Shoes.

Here's a where merit didn't win.
A shoe manufacturer of small capital but wide
knowledge, designed last for ladies which he
named the "Walkwel"-and then he proceeded to
make up what was to- be the best Shoe ever sold for
$3.50. He put in the trustiest stock and most con-
scent1ous Workmanshp-and certainly produced a
handsome Shoe to look at-a comfortable Shoe to
wear-one that could wear, too
But it takes heap OF publicity to popularize a
new Shoe to the point where it is success-and
along came the boom in leather Both together

THE PLATFORM OF 1896
STRONGER IN 1900.

The New York Sun, SO far from be-
ing Democratic, is Il supporter of the
present Republican administration, its
worst men and most vicious policies
and measures. But it can occasionally
see Il plain fact and confess IT. and So
after pretty full analysis of the Dem
ocratic party, as 1t is, the Sun says:
1T appears. therefore, that the Demo-
Gratis faithful to the Chicago platform
are now more completely in control OF
the party organization than they were
in 1896 Since then they have become
predominant in the Democratic party
In Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Da-
kota, three States which voted against
them in 1896. Moreover. the New Eng
land States, which presented a pretty
SOLID front against the Chicago plat
form in the convention of 1896, are now
in nearly every case under the CON
troll of the friends of Bryan. More es-
pecially Is this true of Massachusetts
Maine and New Hampshire. which cast
at the Chicago Convention 10 votes
against the platform and only for it.
Meantime the opponents of the Chi
cago platform in the Democratic party
are gaining nowhere, and the most
they Ventue to strive for at party con-
VentionS is almost invariably nothing
beyond mere evasion OF the currency
issue 1T is not probable that they Will
be able to muster at the National Con-
vention of next year more than half of
the voting strength they exhibited at
Chicago in 1896. and even as many as
40 delegates would be Il very liberal
estimate.
ION the preliminary vote on the Chi
caso platform lin the convention) 62S
votes were east in the affirmative or a
clear two thirds majority OF the whole
Against the platform sol votes were
recorded and one Minnesota delegate
rcfraincd from voting.
THE four States of New York Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts and Wscon-
sin cast collectively 1877 of the 301 votes
recorded against the Chicago platform
in 1896.
Since 1896. however. the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts
and Wisconsin has come under the CON
troll Of the Chicago platform forces and
theories, and in each in 1898 avowcd
supporters of Bryan were nominated
for office. In New York no Democrat
running for Office last year dared to
oppose the Chicago platform. and there
Is no possibility that any Democratic
State Convention this year or next will
express dissent from II. The delega-
ton from New York in 1900 WIFI proba-
bly, he in favor of IT; in no event will
it be committed against it,"
So. those self-styled Democrats who
oppose the platform OF 1896. and wish
TO consolidate the party with the Re
publican party in trust, on money,
trusts. banks. judicial absolutism, ex-
pansion, imperialism, &C, may as well
pack their gripsacks.
