NO DEMOCRATIC VOTES FOR QUAY

There has been talk in Washington that
if the case of Senator Quay came to a
vote a number of Democratic senator's
would vote for him on the ground that
he is "a good fellow" and has on various
occasions done them favors.
the fact that not one of them will lend
him a helping hand if the opportunity to
do so should occur.
Democrats hold that to vote to seat Mr.
Quay under the circumstances would be
voting against the principle for which the
Democratic party has been contending for
years, namely, that a senator should be
the choice of the majority of the people
of his state.
1t might be a good thing for the Demo
cratic party if the Republicans should
seat Mr. Quay. 1t is well known that
he failed to secure an election from the
LEGISLATURE He could not get major
ity of that body 10 vote for him II tie
Republican majority of the Senate should
show a willingness to override the viii of
the people of Pennsylvania, the people not
only of that state, but of the entire coun-
try, might think IL time to give the Re
publican party a lesson by turning it
out of power. A party that is willing to
trample on the will of the majority, the
constitution and precedent is a party that
is drunk with power and is dangerous.

THE DRUMMER IN POLITICS.

Mr.. Bryan is Of the opinion that the
commercial traveller is going 10 be a pow
er in politics this year This opinion is a
| sound one. There are many thousands Of
drummers, and they are men of ability and
influence They are bright and entertain
ing and welcome guests wherever they so.
Being well Informed their views on public
questions command respect.
The drummers are against trusts. Thous>
ands of them have lost their places be
cause of consultations of industrial plants.
They know better than the general pub
lie TO what extent these consultations are
intended to destroy competition, and thus
make it possible for the trusts to fix the
prices of articles the people must have
They are wen qualified therefore to on
Tighten the people respecting the trust
evil
The drummers in the campaign this
year viii be found working in the ranks
Of the Democracy They do not believe
that tho RaUblic4r rarty con be depend
ed upon to do anything to check the for
nation of new trusts or to lessen the
power for evil of those already formed.
Many of the most prominent OF them have
discussed the situation with Mr. Bryan,
and have frankly told him that they were
with him in the fight on trusts. The
drummers have confidence in him, and
there is no doubt that the great majority
of them intend to give him a very hearty
support in the event of his nomination
for President and that he win be nominate
ed there is no doubt.
Mr.. Bryan is more hopeful of the sue
cess of the Democratic party this year
than he has been at any previous time
since the last presidential contest The
feeling among the Democratic leaders that
the Democratic party will elect the next
President is steadily growing stronger
The drummers who are in a position to
feel the pulse of the people declare that
public sentiment against trusts is daily
becoming stronger. They hear the people
talk in the villages and towns throughout
the entire country. They mingle with the
farmers and the laboring people at the
crossroads stores and on the railroads,
and they are well aware that there is a
gathering storm of indignation against
trusts. And the belief is that the Re
publican party cannot be relied on for
antitrust legislation. To rid the country
of the trust evil is the mission of the Dem
ocratic party. And in the performance of
that mission it will be led by Mr. Bryan.

It's Blessed to Give.

Hearst is a man for big righteous
deeds. His last exhibit of true benev-
olence was heading relief subscrip-
ton paper in San Francisco with ST.
600 for the Galveston sufferers,
while other wealthy men strained
their purse-cords to extract hundred
dollars as an individual gift to this
commendable charity. But the News
paper Napoleon did not end with that.
On the 18th inst, less than three days
after the Texas horror, a well-equipped
train, chartered and outfitted by the
Chicago american, pulled out from
that city. laden with corps of physi-
clans, nurses, food and clothing, for
the starving and suffering thousands
made desolate by Saturdays storm.
The train men were instructed to put
the american train through in the
shortest time possible with safety to
life and property, and it was expected
that by yesterday, as right of way had
been ordered the full length of the
run, that hospitals were open, and the
manned and wounded, and ill, are be-
ing cared for by the owner of the three
leading newspapers OF the country.
Two trains which followed the Relief
train" hauled cars loaded with provi-
sions and clothing as an auxiliary TO
the effort for affording adequate aid
for the sufferers.
Besides this individual effort the
american has been instrumental in
interesting the theatrical managers
and profession in Chicago into giving
a gigantic performance in the Audi
forum, to be the largest performance
ever given in America. 1t will begin
at 10 A. NJ, and be a continuous per-
Torrance till probably o'clock the
next morning. Every leading attrac-
ton will be represented. Seats will
be auctioned to the highest bidders,
and the funds derived made immedi-
ately available for the Galveston SUI
ferers. This will come in splendid Or
der, for the victims will require aid
for several weeks.
Another train was fitted out in New
York by the Journal, and still another
in the name OF the Examiner of San
Francisco, the two other Hearst pa
pers, under precisely the same condi-
tions as the Chicago train. and left
Tuesday evening for the stricken city
on the gulf.

Boutelle's Bluff.

Congressman Boutelle, of Maine,
thinks he has given Mr.. Bryan hard
nut to crack, when me challenges the
great commoner to speak at the cap
ital of each of the old slave States,
and urge the repeal OF all constitutions
and laws designed to disfranchise the
coio-ed population or restrict their
suffrage"
Why that Is only "soft shell,'
after all, Mr.. Boutelle. Slavery was
in existence when our forefathers de-
clared, among self-evident truths that,
call men are created free and equal"
Existing conditions left no doubt OF
the meaning to be attached to these
words. They were so plain, that it
was not deemed necessary to append
clause limiting political equality to
the possession OF certain qualifications
essential to a government founded
upon reason and intelligence.
The more honest Republicans of the
South admit that racial peculiarities
and proclivities disqualify the negro
from exercising equal political rights
and are as anxious to have them COM
pletely eliminated from governmental
contests as the Democrats. While
there may be occasional exceptions to
the rule, she negro has been found to
be governed too much by brutal in
stinct than calm reason to enable him
exercise with discretion or moderation
the duties OF self-government.
Mr.. Bryan, as a true American
statesman, would have no difficulty in
explaining his position on that or any
other question which arises.
Those negroes who have sense
enough to vote would doubtless honor
the man who has the candor and manli-
ness to admit the irrepressible logic of
events in determining the policy that
is best for our country. The difficulty
of the matter is that Mr.. Bryan's
critics are selfish politicians, and they
are utterly incapable of measuring the
Negroes brain by any other device than
their own little calipers. The negro
may not be fitted by nature or educa-
ton for the higher exercise of Ameri-
can citizenship-nor are some white
men-but he may be able to grasp the
idea of his own unfitness for self.gov-
eminent, thing his white brother
can never do.

How THE STATE AUDITOR LOST AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR COMPELLING A SHOW.
DowN.-In keeping with the Cover.
nor's attempt to foist his family ex.
pense account upon the shoulders of
tho people, is his later and successful
endeavor to mako the State pay for
score or more of partisan kilograms
sent on Aug. 23d. to his fuglemen
throughout the State, to infuse life
into his rally at the State Convention.
So palpably personal was this service
that State Auditor Cheetham held up
the bill for investigation. His appli.
cation at the telegraph Office for the
privilege OF an inspection of the dis.
patches was very properly refused, and
the Auditor allowed the bill for the
avowed reason that ait would be ne.
cessary to bring the recipients of the
kilograms into court, involving great
expense" We do not think 80. He
had simply to persist in his declina.
ton to be party to the fraud, and he
could have compelled q showdown, if
his accidency is as rash as he was when
he appealed to the Supreme Court to
make the Secretary of State pay his
(the Governor's) postage bills. There
would have been no improperly in
THIS course, and a failure to submit
proof OF legitimate service would have
been confession of guilt, while an ex.
posure OF the truth would have been as
indefensible as the attempt to charge
up hotel and railroad bills of wife and
daughter to the State.

The Spokane papers, in abiding to
Frank J. Cotter'e phenomenal record
as wheelman and his proposed visit
to Paris with view of gathering fresh
laurels, accredit him to Canada,
whereas, although an Olympia boy, he
has always professionally" hailed
from Tacoma. This is literally the
feather which breaks the camel's back.
We could stand Tacoma's claim upon
our illustrious citizen-but Canada's
never. But why the wheel champion
should prefer the aboriginal term,
Tacoma to the euphonious, limpid
and classical name of Olympia-a
term sanctifed by athletic sports from
the middle ages-is a mystery, and
one which does not reflect much credit
upon his judgment. Tacoma may
have few thousands more of popula-
ton than the capital city OF the great
State of Washington, but that cuts no
figure in the worlds estimation when
all "cities" with less than quarter of a
million are as pebbles on the beach,
conspicuous for individuality rather
than size. Mr.. Cotter should bear in
mind that his fame differs from that
posthumorous renown, which caused
Three Grecian cities to mourn for Homer

He gets his reward as he flies upon the
