And may they knock the stufflng

Jefferson M. Levy for Harmony.

when Bryan was young Congress
man, scarcely known outside of bis
State, said Congressman ] Jefferson M
Levy, of New York. to Washington
Post reporter, he accepted an invita-
ton to visit Monticello, and was my
guest for several days. While there
we argued the silver question in the
most good-humored way, but neither
could convert the other. When he
was ready to depart, and we were
about to exchange adieus, 1 said to
him that if he would stand fast by the
principles of Jefferson he would some
day be President of the United States.
He made laughing reply. acknowl-
edging the compliment, but remarked
that it was beyond the realm of prob
ability for him to think of becoming
President. Neither of US dreamed how
close to fultillment my prediction
would coEae
AS to national issues, my opinion is
that there Is going to be in the near fu-
ture complete reunion of the hereto
fore antagonistic wings of the Demo-
cratic party. l believe that ere the
campaign of 1900 opens We shall see
Democrats OF all shades of opinion
working together in harmony and
resolved on victory. All that is need
ed to restore Democratic ascendancy
is for the clans to drop their fractional
feuds and get together, and the p.os-
poets for such consummation are
in the highest degree"

MR.. PALMER IN LINE AGAIN.

Ex-senator John M. Palmer, of Lii
nols, has been in the city for a day OF
80, and is in the enjoyment of fint
health. In speaking of the politica
situation to friend, Gen. Palmer said
The leading issues in 1900 will be
anti-lmperialism, antl-militarism, and
antl-trusts. At least these will be the
Democratic slogans. The nomina ton
OF Mr.. Bryan lie, in my opinion, fore.
gone conclusion. He will be nominal.
ed, and predict that be will be elected
president in spite of his radical views
on silver. "-Washington Post of last
Saturday.
The Mr.. Palmer referred to above is
the same gentleman who in 1896 was
nominated by the gold, or boiling
Democrats, at indianapolis, for the
presidency. He seems now to be dead
against the policies of the man whom
ne assisted in securing the presidency,
and predicts the nomination and cleo
IN 1870 of that candidate whom he
helped to defeat. Mr.. Palmer will be
welcomed back into the fold of Democ-
racy. "As long as the lamp holds out
to burn the vilest sinner may return"

Short and to the Point.

Anent the boom given Senate
Daniel last Sunday by the Richmond
Times for the presidency the Fred
erlcksburg Free Lance says:
1.-The Free Lance has only this com
ment to make upon it, that the en-.
dorsement Of the Richmond Times,
Staunton News and others show it to
be the inspiration of the Palmer and
Buckner people, and the whole sugges-
ton Of Daniels candidacy at this time
seems to be absolutely impossible and
not to be taken seriously, and that it's
only object is an effort of the seeding
Democrats to defeat Bryan's nomina-
ton next year and if the inspiration is
not the trick Of Mark Hanna and the
New York bankers. it nevertheless looks
suspiciously SO. The Daniel boom will
die borniD, and it looks very much
now as if it were the beginning of the
end OF Daniel as Democratic leader.
And if The Free Lance has a horos
cope of the future it is this: Far more
likely Mckinley and Daniel as the Re
publican ticket in 1900 than Daniel as
a Democratic presidential candidate
In that year, judging from the sketch
of Senator u. s speech. copied from
