Of His leadership Of the
democracy.

Be Reorganized and He.
habilitated.
ncKinley's Trip From Canton t.
Washington Made Memorable
by Great Ovation.

Chicago, Nov. S.-Leaders of the de-
mocracy turnout the country express
Il belief that the second battle should
be the last: shat Bryan has proved a.
bad experiment; that the party must
turn about face, abandon free silver
and anti-imperialism as issues. and
seek new leader.
These views We're expressed yester-
day by many of the editors of demo-
ticians in response to a request from
the Tribune for their ideas on the sig
nal defeat of the democracy on Tues
day, and the most effective means of
irehabilitating the democratic party.
Some use names-and the majority
of those who do suggest David b. Hill
as the most available Moses to lead
the democrats out of the political will
derness. Many agree that the next
candidate must come either from Illi-
nois or New York.
There are no unkind cuts at Bryan.
Most of the leaders Tre-suppose that
no effort Will be made to renominate
the Nebraskan. They praise him for
his desperate work for the party, but
consider him politically impossible in
the future.
Henry Watterson, Of Louisville, KY,
editor of the Courier-Journal. says:
with the elimination OF the money
issue there ought to he no further fac
tibnal division among the democrats.
If free silver was not dead before, as
suredly 1t is dead now beyond the hope
Sof resurrection and redemption, hav-
ing done harm enough to discard IT
forever, even among its most Jealous
adherents.
There will continue to be two great
iopposing political organizations. De-
Ifeatea today. the democrats may WIN
tomorrow. They Will tinu isues arisine
out of the nature Of public anairs
ievolved by the course of events. l.ead-
ers suited to these will In GOOD tiIne
and season arrive upon the scene.
