THE NEWT PRESIDENCY.

Kansas city Times Hua Nominated
senator COclSrcIJ.
Kansas City, Mo-, January 1S--ln a lead
ing editorial tomorrow the Times. which
has been a stanch supporter of william J,
Rryan, will urge the candidacy OF United
States Senator Francis Marion Cockrcll for
the democratic presidential nomination In
1890. Senator Cockrell. whom the people
CT Missouri have just elected to the fifth
term In the senate win be put forward as
IAN old fashioned democrat who stood
for what the Chicago platform contains
long before that platform was promul-
gated, democrat of experience In Ma
iionai afiairs, whose record has stood the
test OF time, who knows the plain people
and against whom the charge OF demsssgy
has never been brought. who comes from
the West and South, but whose serylces
for twenty-four years have been given 10
the whole people Of the United States
The Times will assert that Missouri's
right TO consideration at tho hands Of
democratic convention can not be Quts-
toned. adding that "the sole objection
which could have been urged against Cock
rell, that he fought with the South, has
been answered by the action OF x,con-
federate soldiers In the war OF 1895"
In this connection the Times Will state
that when the democratic convention
meets In 1900 the time Will have come to
ignore that old sectional feeling which
has forced the democratic party 70 nomi-
nate candidates whom II did not want, .
