The Democracy was poor and had to
rely upon eloquence of another sort
than that of money which "talks."
Eloquence, unfortunately, was not
enough. Mr.. Bryan was great cam
paign orator, powerful in speech,
quick at repartee and uniformly cour-
teous to his opponent Mr.. Roosevelt
who was his chief adversary on the
stump, equals him in untiring energy,
but lacks his perfect courtesy and
command Of temper. Mr.. Hanna also
developed towards the end of the CAM
paign an unexpected fluency of express
sion and considerable adroitness in
debate; but he was far too shrewd
a campaigner to depend on such mere
tricious aids to victory. He relied
guments embodied in the aforemen-
toned vocal abilities of legal tender,
and the end justified his confidence,
if not the means employed. The press
was not neglected by the Republicans,
while their opponents seemed to trust
rather to the loyalty of the newspa-
pers which supported them than to
seek to win new adherents. General
Butler believed, or professed to be-
iieve, that the friendship of the papers
was not worth having; but Napoleon
Bonaparte, who was better judge,
said that "Four hostile newspapers
are more to be feared than thousand
bayonets." Mr.. Bryan had not more
than half that number of great dailies
on his side in New York, and proper
tionately few in nearly all the other
large cities. He was not to blame for
that fact, however, and it speaks vol
umes for his personal ability and high
character that he held so enormous n
vote in spite of the press, the patron
age and the unlimited money of the
enemy.
1t is not now the time for self
appointed assignees to come forward
and offer to administer on the estate
of the party, though some who
helped to defeat it are already doing
SO, notably Mr.. Abram Hewitt, Mr..
William G. Whitney and others, includ-
ing ex-President Cleveland. 1t would
perhaps be more decorous for those
gentlemen to wait until they are invit-
ed to undertake the work of reorgani-
cation, or ut least, to take counsel
with those who, while adhering to
the same financial principles. believed
it to have been their duty to stand by
the higher principle of fighting against
the dangerous tendencies towards I'm
perialism.
There is plenty of time for the De-
mocracy to adjust itself to the new
conditions. There is time to think, and
there is grim need of thinking earnest
ly and wisely before the next cam
paign is opened.

Christian Republicans at home would
think of the way the great Christian

see what 1 and others are compelled
to see they would not only say that the

tear it down."
Who would have thought two years

The st. Paul Globe, though owned
by ]. J. Hill, occasionally has rap at
the trusts. In a recent issue it says:
Our export trade is increasing. Owing
to some commercial legerdemain, our
goods which need protection in this
country and sell them in foreign parts
for less money than they are sold at
home. Indeed, so brisk has been this
foreign trade that goods have been
shipped to foreign country, sold,
and reshipped to this country, the duty
paid, and a good profit made in the
home markets. And yet this condition
is pointed to as sign of prosperity.

The death of John A. Giltinan, at his
home in Morris, Mimi, last Sunday.
caused much sorrow to his many
friends throughout the state. Mr.. Gill
tinan was an ardent Democrat, and
during the recent campaign worked

years he was deputy city clerk of st.

Yes, and Mckinley realizes the fact,

the unwilling conclusion that the ORR

Bishop Potter has n great deal to say
but according to the American paper
from the Philippines New York is the
abode of virtue and sanctity in COM
parison with the captured city of Ma
Mia.
Only two weeks ago we published n
letter from Minnesota soldier in the
Philippines, who said that some of his
companions in arms had disgraced the
uniforms they wore, and that in order
to punish them as they deserved it
would he necessary to have Il court
martial in session all the time. Ex-
Consul Pratt of Singapore. in recent
interview, corroborated everything
said by American Freedom and our
own correspondent, and there is no
doubt whatever Of the moral rotten

the marauding soldiers of conquest
who are ''benevolcntly assimilating'

exposed the moral dcpravity which has
made Manila notorious during the
American occupation. The military
spectacle men who are serving in the

the church people of the United States
raise their voices in depreciation and
denounce Mckinley for tolerating such
abuses? He alone is responsible.
