Il
NEW YORK, August B.-Just before
Richard Croker sailed for Europe, few
months ago, he made this statement:
civilian Jennings Bryan is an admira-
bic man in many ways, but he is not the
man to lead the Democratic party again
| in 1900"
Yesterday when he returned from Eu-
rope, he said: MIR. Bryan's great
strength lies in his sympathy for and
knowledge of the plain people No other
American has ever been SO close to the
masses. He understands and feels for
the toier, and the toiler understands and
! trusts him. 1 consider him to be one or
the greatest men America has produced.
within the coming year the Demo-
cratic party must agree upon its nation
al programme and prepare for the over
throw OF trusts and imperialism. / be-
lieve that the patty will be united and
harmonious.
Naturally, / am principally Interested
in securing a national platform that Will
be a source of strength to the pasy in
my own State. We hope TO carry New
York for the Democratic candidate next
year. l am satisfied that nothing will be
done by the next Democratic National
Convention that will drive any good DEM
ocrat away from his party.
This silver question will be regulated
IN time. and Congress may be safely
trusted to settle the ratio.
There never has been a time in my
experience when the Republican party
has so clearly shown its unfitness 10 be
I'm control of the National Government.
Mr.. Mckinley has turned the war in the
Philippines into a partisan scheme for
his own reelection. The administration
has purposely dragged out the struggle,
and is spending tens of millions Of the
peoples money without making any Sc
rious effort to bring the war to a close
this year.
"This presidential election takes place
next year. and the Republican managers
are openly making preparations 70 Use
the war as a means Of working up an
other outburst OF popular enthusiasm just
in time to sweep Mr.. Mckinley into a Sc
cond term.
But the people who are paying the
war taxes are beginning TO see through
the plan. 1t Is almost incredible that
a President OF the United States is will
ing TO desolste and destroy thousands
of homes and TO shed the blood of the
unfortunate Filipinos chiefly to keep HIM
self and his friends in office. but the
facts are plain to be seen by every right
thinking man.
"rhe situation is so shocking, so indie
cent. from the ordinary American stand
point. that thousands Of Republicans are
turning away from McKinleyism in dis
gust. The strongest men in the party
have turned their backs on the admins
tration.
in New York city the party was never
stronger. We will carry all before us
this fall. The metropolis is thoroughly
Democratic. The cheap talk about ma
chine politics has lost its force"

THE SHOOTING OF LABoRI.

If there could be browning infamy
10 an affair presenting so many in
famous phases as have characterized the
Dreyfus case it was perpetrated yester-
day. when Maitre Labor, the junior coun-
sci for the prisoner Of Rennes, was shot
down while on his way to attend
the court-martial. Treason. forgery, per-
Jury, the subornation and coercion Of
witnesses. prostitution Of justice, the
exciting OF race prejudice, and mental
and physical torture of an innocent man
little less hldeous than that which dis
graced the Dark Ages, have been followed
by attempted murder
Labor is reported 60 have said, while
lying bleeding in agony where he
ont Dreyfus was saved. We can hardly
doubt that whether Laboris wound is
mortal or not the work OF the assassin
will prove fatal 10 the cause of the anti
Dreyfusards We cannot but believe that
1t will produce an immense action in
favor of Dreyfus; for in this last damna-
be resource the villainy Of anti-Drey-
fasardism overreached itself. This
fact the most desperate Of the enemies
OF, and conspirators against Dreyfus
can hardly, on sober second thought, fail
to recognize. Hence, we are prepared
for an effort TO show that the shoot
ing OF Labor was the act of an indi-
vidual or individual fanatics. But the
outside world. and we question not every
fair-minded man in France, will scout
the suggestion. The cowardly deed
