Especial Washington Letter.
Since that sad day when Japhcth went
forth in search Of his fathe. nothing il
human history is SO pathetic as Mark
Hanna's fearful and hair raising an-
peal to the mosquito eaten Republic
ans CT New jersey to shake Off tie ap-
athy and lcthargy which are new
weighing them down. but Mark should
know by tais time Of day that the az
eragc Republican is about us sleepy as
was Thomas Sharkey when Professor
Robert FitzsimmonS finished his sur
sical operation Oh him at the end Of
the second round. Nothing but 8 sight
Of the Doodle Will arouse tie aforesaid
sleepy one from his nap. and. awful 70
tell, they do say that Mark is having &
hard time raking in the Doodle. Sure
II the world is coming to an end socn.
-Four years ago Mark not only had al
the doodle he needed. but he had. q
thing unheard CT till then. q Surplus
left over. humping big surplus at
that. Now. it is said that the possess
ors o. wealth are decidedly slow about
shelEng out. coming down With the
dust and suchlike operations; hence
Marks tears have understood that
the contributors are contributing only
about one-tenth Of what they did four
years ago. Only think Of that. SGf-
fering Moses, How can Mark be eX-
pectel to arouse the enthusiasm OF his
piebald mercenarieS by offering them
only 1.-THE of what they received
four short years ago? But have in,-
plicit faith in Marks capacity to fry
the fat out Of Republican pap suckers.
He will get the Doodle. Mark knows
how.
..Tempora mutantur" Gimes change
is IN old Latin motto which contains
great truth and which produces con-
flictiEg emotions owing to the point OF
view. Four years ago ycu could not
pick up Z newspaper without reading
how. when and where q hest of Demo
Gratis were rafting to the enemy. 1t
made do!eful reading. Now It's t'othei'
way. Such crowds Of Republicans,
disguised with McEanna;sEl and CT
goldbug Democrats. are Gocilins 70
Bryan's standard that e.en So renov-cl-
ed prodi-al as Bourl1e Cochran re-,
ceives precious little notice. It's not
only the leaders who are coming o,,ii'
way, but the rank ard file else. Il oaa
little Missouri city of 1000 ;2hahi5ants
81 lifelong Republicans have openly
proclaimed their intention Of voting for
BRYAN.
Hanna Growing Profsne.
Even ct this early day in the canvass
Mark Hanna is so wrought Up that be
runs counter to the command. ''Thoi

before the great event in November
lands him and his protege William the
Wabbler outside the breastworkS re-
mains to be seen. So in these dog
days. with the thermometer registering
100 degrees in the shade and with ev-
erybody reeking with perspiration.
Mark makes it Still! hotter by cussing.
What will the holy brethren who re-
Gently hissed me ct Lakeside for TAX
ing his name in vain think Of his pro-
family? pause for reply.
I have a valuable contribution 10
make to current history which may or
may not explain several things. and
that is that Governor Leslie NJ Shaw
of Iowa has Il toes. In the rotunda
OF the capitol at Washington in the
historical painting. The Baptism OF
PocahontaS." there is 4 buck Indian
with II toes l have never known
whether that was the license or the iS-
norance Of the artist. b-t here We
have Il governor wits - toes hcsitat-
ing for six weeks about appointing ::
senator with ten toes-:hat is. as
sumo that Dolliyer has ten toes.
never counted them. but guess that
Jonathan has the usual number What
made Shaw hesitate so long: Was he
looking for candidate with - toes?
Maybe lie was and maybe he was not
What he was really looking for was a
plug candidate who would help Gov
ernor Shaw go to the senate himself.
That ne failed to carry out that idea is
owing to pubic sentiment. and Dolli-
yer went, who is an honor to the state
Maryland Democratic.
My Maryland. My Maryland" She
is going Democratic this time and no
mistake. Senator George L. yelling
