THE VICE PRESIDENCY AT KANSAS
CITY.


There is a report THAI the Democratic
leaders have agreed upon a candidate
for Vice President, and that he is a resi-
dent of New York and man of wealth.
There may be some foundation for this re-
port. but the chances are that there
isn't.
AS far as can be gathered from the pub
lie prints. the Popuhsts and Silver Re
pubiicans intended 10 insist upon the
nomination of Mr.. Towne, the Populist
nominee for Vice President. It is no
ticeable that his friends are very active
in his behalf. Leading Populists are de-
ciaring that his nomination is essential
parties. They are not making any threats,
and ii is probable that If the sense of
the Kansas City Convention should be
against the nomination of Mr.. Towne
they would acquiesce in its decision. and
give the ticket just as hearty a sup
port as II they had succeeded in having
their candidate nominated. But that
they are going to make strong fight
for Mr.. Towne's nomination there is no
doubt.
The movement in behalf of former Sem
ator Hill of New York has lost none of
Its force. In fact, II appears to be gain
ing strength. Notwithstanding the an
nouncement of Mr.. Hill that he is not
candidate. and would not accept the nom
ination If It were offered to him. 1t is
believed, however, that he would accept
1t II It were made clear to him that he
is the choice OF the entire party.
The platform and the question of the
nomination for the vice presidency will
not be settled as quickly at Kansas City
as they were at Philadelphia. While
the Democrats in state convention, in
majority of the states. have declared for
the Chicago platform. 1t is evident that
the Platform Committee will have much
more to do than did the Platform Com
mittee of the Republican National Con-
vention. There is going to be a fight
over the question of the position 20 be
given silver. New York. Maryland,
Illinois and Indiana will perhaps ask that
silver be practically side-tracked. The
states ndmeu are very important ones
so important that there will be a strong
disposition 90 make concessions to them.
The question that will take time to set
tle is, how great shall the concessions be :?
These states will not only object 10
making silver prominent in the platform,
but they will oppose for Vice President
any candidate who is not a thorough-go-
ing Democrat. They will not consent to
the nomination Of a Popu1ist or a Silver
Republican. If they find that they can
bring about the nomination of Mr.. Hill,
they will insist upon platform that will
not give prominence to those features of
the Chicago platform 90 which gold
Democrats objected in 1896. The Kansas
City Convention, Notwithstanding the
fact THAI MT. Bryan is to be renominated,
will be a much livelier one than was the
Philadelphia Convention.

DREAMING TO THE POINT.

The future must hold something good
for Frank Maltby of the town of SYRIA
cuse. N. Y. He is an alderman. and is
therefore in politics. If he fails to ex-
tract plums from the political pie, it will
be a matter of surprise. For he is man
of brains, and his brains never take a
rest or a holiday. They work as hard
at night while Maltby is asleep as they
do in the daytime while he is awake and
hustling. And, what is better, their night
work is good and straight to the point. A
case in illustration came before the court
In Syracuse the other day. The grand
jury was investigating a cause Of some
public interest. Before the investigation
had been completed a newspaper an
nounced that indictments had been found
against certain persons. and gave Malt
by as the source of information. 1t APP
peared to the court Immediately that there
was leak in the grand jury room some
where. MaHby was sent for 40 explain
how and when he had obtained his infor-
nation, which was correct.
If Maltby had belonged to an all too
common class of politicians, he would have
repudiated the newspapers statement. He
Would have told the court that the re-
porter he'd; that newspapers and newspa-
per men were habitual falsihers and that
the truth was not in them. We've ali
had experience with men of that stamp.
But Maltby of Syracuse is not one of
them. why, your Honor" said he earn
estly as he faced the frownlng court, "I
dreamed that. 1t was such vivid and
impressive dream that 1 felt quite sure
it was the TRUTH so told Il to my friend,
the reporter as a fact" Obviously one
cannot be punished for dreaming; nor ia
1t crime or misdemeanor to tell onek
dream to a friend. Therefore the learned
court told Mr.. Maltby that his explana-
ton was sufficient, and that he might go.
Mr.. Maltby had established the utility
OF the dream, as a means of getting one
out of tight place. If his powers as a
dreamer do not bring him profitable re-
turns hereafter, we shall miss our guess.
Meantime it is not out Of place 90 sug-
gest to other politicians the employment
of the Maltby system during he approach
ing campaign. 1t would rest less heavily
upon their consciences TO blame dreams
rather than reporters for the making pub
lie of political secrets.

GOLD STANDARD LEGISLATION IN
DANGER.

Either the Republicans are getting
alarmed about the outcome of the Novem-
Der elections. or else they are trying to
arouse their party to the importance or
getting out it's voters. The chairman of
their Congressional Committee, Mr.. Bah
cock, has sent out a circular in which he
points out that 1t is within the bounds Of
probability for the gold standard legisla-
ton of the present Congress to be re-
realed by the next Congress.
According TO what Mr. Babcock says,
the Democrats will likely get control Of
both Houses of Congress II Mr.. Bryan
is elected. II will not cost them a very
great effort to get possession of the
House. and they may get possession of the
by March 4. 1903. The terms OF a great
many Republican senators expire within
the next three years. II the Democrats
should be fortunate enough to capture
majority of these places they would have
control of the Senate.
The idea has been steadily held out that
il was not possible for the silver men 40
get possession of the Senate during the
next four years. This idea. according TO
Chairman Babcock Is erroneous. The po-
litical forecasters, who have been max
ing figures on the political complexion of
coming Congresses for political writer's
and statesmen. ought TO go over their
figures again, and let the country know
whether Chairman Babcock or they are
mistaken.

Alfred Henry Lewis, editor of Belmont's

Baltimore Sun. Bryan recently had q new
and extensive veranda erected about his
Lincoln home and. having in mind cot

veranda large and strong. Showing ii to
a friend one day, Bryan pointed out the
six-inch joists, which were laid on the
ground and which the platform was
built.
What was your object in building a
veranda this way?" inquired the friend.
We'll" said Bryan, when l am bunld-
ing a platform myself intend to take care

with the Kansas City platform than he
had with the Chicago platform it may be

from Dover to statesboro, are growing.
They are tall. slender expresses. and were
either planted with the roots or took root
afterwards. 1t is a novel sight to see
telegraph poles with green boughs at the
top. There will be no necessity for re-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Times Qnd0 says;
Cookers definition of anti-imperialism
is fresh and forceful. 1t is opposition to
the fashion OF shooting down everybody
who doesn't speak English This is more
than smart epigram. 1t is really a COM
prehensive expression of what has been
going on in the world of late. In Asia,
in Africa, wherever il may be, ii is the
vogue, when a peop.e do not speak the
English tongue. TO organize an army ana
shoot them down This is called Anglo
Saxon progress. China is the freshest
case in point. where the English deter
mined. for purposes Of their own, to go
in and shoot Cinnamon. and the United
States joined in TO help them, for the sake
Of Anelo-Saxon progress. The trouble
about this fashion is that it is likely 10
lead 40 the shooting of some people who
may not speak English but can shoot
back"
