Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1899-07-22

G. Sanford was not running for
office. If they all begin talking at
once about local political history,
Senator Alexander may regret that
he did not let them sleep.
IRIS all off but the shouting, boys.
Art Rowley has been slated to sue
ceed Judge Anderson three years
hence, and Clint Kline has been
anointed by the Machine as heir ap-
parent to Auditor Sisters high-sal-
aried Job. Here is sure-thing COM
bination which it will be folly for the
Democrats to attempt to defeat
Rowley, the political genius who
recently boasted that he carried the
vote of Akron i'll his vest pocket;
and Kline, who, like prophet GER
tain of his prophecy, was going to be
elected Representative las surely as
the sun shines in the heavens"
THE local Republican organ has
been told that Mr.. VIM. J. Bryan is
worth at least 100000, and in its
truly sympathetic way it asks what
is to become of the Democratic
party? The DEMOCRAT will answer
that question if the Beacon will an
swer this: Which party is most de-
serving of success: The party that
offers as it's candidate for president
a man who has 100000 of honestly
earned wealth, and who would
be in a position, if elect
ed, to administer his office
upon the principle of equal rights for
all, special privileges to none-or the
party whose candidate is a CONNER
cial bankrupt, mortgaged for 100000
to the agents of the confederated
trusts and privileged interests, and
expected to pay his obligations to his
unyielding creditors with legislation
and favors at the expense of the peo-
pie? This question may have more
realism about it than is true of the
ordinary hypothesis, but the Beacon
may take its choice of answers.
1T IS becoming more and more
apparent to the half dozen or more
''other candidates" that Prof. Seese
of Hudson has been slated by the
Machine to be the Republican nomi-
nee for Representative. Announce
ments of this kind, and at this par
ticular stage of primary campaigns,
have so persistently and so syste-
matically ignored the Hon. II. c.
Sanford, that one would think the
Third ward statesman would soon be
getting discouraged, disheartened, or
sore-but he won't! The Colonel
will keep on running for the nomina-
ton until he is knocked do wn at the
primaries. Then, after getting up,
telling how good 1t felt to be knocked
down, and shouting Justify for
Seese, the Machine candidate, Col.
Oouioiu Will be Iettdy u ottSe
running for office until he comes up
for something new at the primaries
next year, only to be knocked down
in the same old way. At least this
is how Judge Grant defined the stu
alton yesterday, and he ought to
know.
VaCllLaTING AS A FINE ART.
The newspapers that are always
looking for chance to roll logs
across the pathway of ambitious
statesmen are trying to make trouble
for Congressman Henderson, OF Iowa,
the Administration favorite who
will inherit the job vacated by Czar
Reed.
1t seems that this man Hender-
son committed the blunder of maxi
ing speeches in Congress On the
Philippine question before he found
out which way the Administration
cat was going to jump. On one oc-
casion he said to the last Congress:
"I frankly say to this House and
to my country that L have the
gravest doubts of the wisdom of this
