HUN7 INC FOR AN ISSUE.

In 1896 the democratic party found it.
Self without an issue upon which to wage
aggressive war in the Their Forthcoming
campaign. The protective tariff had be-
come the settled policy of the nation:
and four year of democratic rule. culmi-
mating in disasters of the greatest mag
nitude, had placed that political organi-
cation, in public contempt. So great had
become the reaction against the brood
OF public plunderers and philosophical
Cleveland, that as a matter of self-pro-
lection the democratic party was COM
PEELED to reorganize in 1896, and call itself
the new de mocracy.
True, the ''reorganized" party was
composed wholly of men who had stood
by Cleveland in 1892, and made his cleo
tion possible; but by repudiating their
own work, and pronouncing 1t a mis-
take. they hoped to convince the public
that they We're above further possibil-
ity Of error in Judgment in the selection of
a candidate. With a new" democracy
a new issue was imperative, hence the
grasping Of the manifesto in favor of free
coinage previously enunciated by the
peoples party. Had it not been for that
lprovidential question, the democracy
would have been in dire straits for a
campaign issue, inasmuch as it's own ad-
ADMINISTRATION had placed it squarely on
the defensive.

1T is passing 81 range that the democracy

object of the democracy. Through such
"a course, consistently maintained from
1886 to the clio Sc of the next presidential
campaign, the democratic party could
have established itself as the champion
of free coinage and inspired the conf
dence OF silver men.
But it has chosen rather to surrender
the paramount issue of 1896, before alb
solutely certain of having secured a firm
hold on a new question that promises
to yield create r political results at the
polls. In the turbulent sea of politics, !

started out for a long swim to overtake |
the poorly spiked raft of anti-imperial-
ism. Whether it will be to reach it's
destination, and ride with greater Sc
curity on that issue, remains to be seen.
AT present, the democratic party is

with little prospect of squaring itself for

The moral Of this is, let we'll enough

nv PARK COUNTY,.

The Park County Republican is a new
candidate for public favor which came
into being on the eve of Christmas. AS
It's name implies, it is a thorough repub-
lican newspaper. It's editorial columns
show marked ability, being under the
able direction of Mr.. A.. NJ. Williams, a
newspaper man of wide experience and
unequalled vigor as a writer.
The republicans of Park county, re-
CARELESS of political differences in the
past, should accord the new publication
their undivided support. Through a
piece of manipulation that was anything
but credltable to the parties engaged in
the scheme, the Enterprise of Livingston
"a republican newspaper-was secured
by the Anaconda wing of the democracy,
and will be used in the next campaign
to further it's interests.
1t is dancing to a democratic tune,
with a silver republican mask on, but it
is doing business on false pretences.
Under it's new management it represents
nothing but a scheme of political Chi
canery which ought to disgust every
honorable and self-respecting man in
Park county. BY giving their support
to the Republican, the voters of that
county can register their protest against
the attempt of a wealthy trust to rob
them of honest legislative representation

coverack Cornwall. May 2S.--The ninth

Paris this morning proved an utter fall

the rocks.
Five tugs were used in tho endeayor
to tow her Off. Her boilers, excepting
those used for the pumps, were emptied TO

The effect of the strain Of last weeks

OF the engine room. Efforts to pull her

proposed to concert new plans for lighter

Havana, May 2S.--There we're one hum
dred and eleven applicants to-day for
shares in the $3,OOO,OOO which the United
States have offered as a gratuity to the
Cuban troops. They were given $40 each,
except those whose names are not ON the
rolls.
The opinion is freely expressed that
large proportion of the names are fcti-
tious and that the rolls omit majority
of the names Of those rightly entitled to
share in the gratuity The object OF this
apparently is to discredit the entire pro-
ceedings and to show the Cuban public
that large number of the troops refused
TO take American money.
