Bryan and Belmont.

The word diplomacy" like some
other words in the English Ian
guage, is often used to hide multi
tudc of sins, rs we all know, and
still diplomacy, within certain bounds
is right, and proper, and should be
brought into legitimate use when
necessary for the accomplishment of
worthy ends.
There are some who think that
Mr.. Bryan, who has said aud done
possibly fewer foolish things thar
any other public man, might have
managed his correspondence with
MIR. Belmont Il little more diplomat
ically. perhaps, and not alienated
men like Belmont, who have brains,
money and influence, and whose
help may be needed in 1900.
But Mr.. Bryan is not diplomat
in the sense of complying or winking
ut what he does not believe, and,
true to his principles in this, as in
other things. generally, said just
what he believed: and acted in ac-
cordance with his convictions.
If there is anything concerning
which the American people are alb
solutely certain, it is Mr.. Bryan's
position on all public questions.

Sometimes We Weep.

Our republican contemporaries
are very much wrought up and
considerably worried over the fact
as they state it, that the Demo
cratic party is without a leader
and without an issue, and that il
is foreqoomed 10 defeat if it again
goes before the country on the
Chicago platform.

pathy OF the republican brethren

touching, and the public will ex-
cuse us while we exercise our
lachryman glands. 1t has been
such an age since anybody has
manifested an interest in our wei
fare or spoken word of advice
and encouragement i'm our ear, that
we are overcome with feelings of
tender emotion. Hence these tears.
1t would be the basest sort of i'm l..
gratitude should VIC question the
sincerity of our friends and we'll.
wlShers,thc Mcl1anna aggregation,
or suspect them of selfish motives.
Therefore, VIC have decided to
doubt no more that our republican
contemporaries are anxious that
we should abandon Bryan and the
principles for which he stands, and
that we should select n leader with
whom and adopt a platform upon
which the Democrats can win the
next presidential fight in walk
over. This is "a most appropriate
place for more tears, had we not
she'd all we had in stock at the
close of the Preceding paragraph.
Now, if the Democratic party
wilfully ignores all these timely
warnings and deliberately commits
suicide, its gore will be upon its
own head.

Maine to Florida and from Mary
land to California. The thought
OF dragging" the irreproachable
name of>Hanna into anything has
never before entered into the most
malicious of human imaginations.
Heretofore none have known him
but to love him, none have named
him but to praise. Hanna has been
the synonym of political purity and
moral altitude, household word
for all that is good and great, Clio
riOus and virtuous. To suggest
that he would have anything to
do with II beef contract or any
other sort of contract involving
mere filthy lucre is as preposterous
and ridiculous as it is outrageous
and abOminable. IL is well known
that Mr.. Hanna is of a sensitive,
poetical temperament, who spends
his whole time far from the mad
ding crowd and from all things
evil in peaceful rural retirement,
contemplating the beauties of
nature watching the innocent
lambs gambOling over the pas lures
and composing odes in praise of
poetlcal integrity and of the stern
and simple virtues of the rude
forelathers of the republic. 1t
fairly makes the blood boil, even
iii the peaceful veins of the anti
lmperialist, to think that such a
pure ldealist and lofty patriot
should be connected with course,
unSavory embalmed beef contracts.
And by "one Major Lee too!
Could there be more monstrous
specimen of human depravity than
this attempt to "dragn the name
OF Mark Hanna into this vulgar
beef business? But Mr.. Hanna
need have no apprehension. 1t is
impossible to "drag" down such
name as his. 1t will remain Gem
balmed" III American political
history long after zone Major Lee"
has been forgotten-unless, per-
chance, he should be remembered

There will be other issues in the
next National election besides free
silver. The war and the war taxes.
the wholesale expenditure of the
peoples money, in every conceivable
way, should be called to the atten-
ton of the tax payers. Commission
after commission has been formed,
and millions after millions expended,
with apparently no heed to a reck-
oning.
After century and quarter of
conservative economy, the govern
ment has gone completely wild in
the opposite direction, and to such
an extent has this craze been fol-
lowed that no member of the Re-
publican party has protested ON the
floors of Congress, and few else
where.
This "money" question will be a
very important issue in the next

The May Convention.

1t looks now as though the sole
object of the convention which is
to meet in Richmond May ii, is to
secure the defeat of Senator Mar
tin for the United States Senate.
the fifty prominent Democrats who
signed the call, are, if we are not
mistaken anti.Martin men. At the
Washington conference which was
held to consider the matter, not a
Martin man was present. What
h3f8ess they got against Martiu!

ht he defeated Gen. Lee,
&, for the Senate. The
'6f the'meeting is, ostensibly,
St3 devise some plan by which the
people. may express thoir preference
for United States Senator. The
people shave this privilege now.
Every convention has the right
end privilege to instruct its dele
gates if it chooses. The sole OBJ
ject of that meeting is to defeat
Senator Martin, and this is the
milk of the cocanut. In the mean
time the Republicans are growing
hopeful over prospective split and
row in the Democratic party.
