looks well, and improves In appearance as II

the van, with the Farmer Orator" James T.
MARITIME, a close second. All the others are l6

of the Pump and Granary during the absence OF
the Farmer Orator" that Nj. Daily will be en-
ployed to second the nomination Of William J.
Bryan for President. Mr.. DAILY. Mr. Davis

exigencies of the Democratic party in conven-
ton assembled, than William d. DAILY. of HO-
boken. But it is when he runs UP against the
tropical octopus Of Imperialism or the tarantuia
trusts Of Elizabethport that Mr.. Daily is at his
best. Imperialism is. in fact, Mr.. Daly's spe-
ciaI political property in New-Jersey, and a
trust of any size in any condition Of servt-
tude. previous or subsequent, exalts his clarion
tones and commands his choicest rhetoric In
their deepest, darkest tunnels. In fact they
are cavernous. and make the dismal graveyards
yawn. In the trust-even the infant trust-Mr.
DAILY sees visions and dreams dreams; night
mares envelop him. and melancholy drips and

Mr.. DAILY is great; but tussling with an eight

leon; the airy child OF vapor and the sun;

course, until he bursts and breaks away. Any
proposition to dam the Delaware at Trenton

periods. cerulean in splendor. and in plenitude

Politicians who are looking around for a
Democratic candidate to contest the With

nearer, nor are they likely to. The probability
is strong that neither Of them cares any more

If 1t is true. as alleged, that local option bill
is being prepared for introduction in the Legis-
lature at the next session. the foresight of seer
is not required to predict that 1t will go to the
Committee Unfinished Business and stay
there. The Republicans with one local option

another venture OF the same kind and the Dem
