Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1900-04-05
NUMBER 35

upon The Star reaffirmed the truth OF
the interview and boldly stated that
the reporter who wrote it was a repu-
table gentleman who stood ready to
make affidavit to the correctness Of
the same. Mark In his interview said
all the gabbIe about the Porto Rican
tariff was nonsense, idiocy, rot, etc.
He said something offensive about the
indianapolis Journal, Republican or
gan Of Indiana, Whereupon Hon. John
G. New, its proprietor, who was a
statesman of international reputation
before the Cleveland boss impinged
upon the public view, without any cir
cumlocution whatever, said, Mark
Hanna Is an Internal old liar" That Is
sad, awful, hair raising, stupefying. In
explicable to hear one Republican
cursing another openly and above
board; awful because it is probably
true; hair raising by reason Of the
audacity displayed; inexplicable be-
cause be put In the adjective ''old."
Whether that time honored word has
any peculiar significance In that con-
nection | do not know.
Another straw which shows which
way the wind Is blowing is the splen-
did reception rendered Judge Crum-
packer Of Indiana recently at his
Hoosier home by his fellow citizens
without regard to political affiliations
for his vote against the Porto Rican
tariff bill The judge was the hero OF
the hour, and they are talking of elect
ing him governor to show their feel
ings and as a rebuke to the rest OF the
Indiana delegation. hon. James Taw-
ney, Republican whip on the Republic
an side of the house, has been missing
for some days from his usual haunts.
1t is whispered around that Jeems Is
at home in Minnesota endeavoring to
whip his recalcitrant constituents into
line. Whether he will succeed as well
with them as he did In whipping In
Republican representatives to stultify
themselves remains to be seen.
The news from Minnesota Is that
Governor Lind has consented to run
for governor again and that the fusion
forces have high hopes of sweeping
the state this fall as Old Harper Of
Kentucky used to run his horses
from eend to eend."
Democrats Get to Work.
Democrats are waking up and grid
ing up their loins everywhere. Even
in Rhode Island they are making q
brave hand to hand fight. They may
not win, for all the powers Of Doodle.
corruption and coercion are combined
against them. but even the fact that
they have hope enough to fight in
Little Rhody" should give Democrats
everywhere hearts Of oak. If they
should win out, the Jig would be up
with William Mckinley. Indeed,
great Republican newspaper in Phiia-
delphia is advocating the side tracking
Of Mckinley and the nomination Of
Thomas Bracket Reed as the only
possible way of saving the party from
defeat and disaster. No wonder that
all these things make the Republicans
irritabIe-so irritable that Republican
members who hitherto have prtded
themselves on their Chesterfeldian
manners are now as cross as two
