CAN 1T Be TRUE ?
Richmond Times. ]

Times.
One of the staff of the Washington Post,
IN New York, has written a
most readable letter to that paper descrip'
tive Of ex-senator Hills relation to the
Democratic nominee in this campaign.
The writer says that prior to 1888 Hill
was stung by the Bee that puts the Presi-
dency into mans bonnet, and it is well
known that once infected, no man ever
RECEIVERS from that sting. He saw that
Cleveland's denomination in 1883 was in
evitable, but if Hill should be the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor Of New
York that year and should carry the State,
while Cleveland running for the Presiden-
cy loet it, why would people not say in
1892 that HILL was the man to nominate
rather than Cleveland? Accordingly,
says the correspondent, he plotted with
Plat to have New York 90 that way in
the election Of 1888, and 80 New York
went.
But the Democracy did not reason as
Hill hoped, and, to his surprise, they re-
nominated in 1892 the man who had been
defeated in 1888. Hill continued to plot,
however, and went to Chicago in 1896
with a speech in his pocket that was to
electrify and stampede the convention to
him, but Bryan had the first Inning" at
electrifying, and before Hill could get a
rest and aim his gun, Bryan had fired
and hit the mark. Hill went back to
Woolfort Roost disguised and sad man,
that saw no future for blasted candidate
With q Presidential Bee in his bonnet.
But moody reflections brought him a ray
of light. He saw before the Kansas Con-
vention that the Democracy of the coun-
try wanted IL to l dropped, while Bryan
declared that he would not be the candi.
date unless 16 to were in the platform.
He determined, therefore, that he would
direct all bis forces upon this point. lie
would stir up the Democracy in all parts
of the country to demanding that the
platform should omit l6 to l; be would
fill the galleries of the convention with
claquers to cry for Hill at every opportu-
nifty, and thus show how the country
longed for him. Bryan was a man of his
word, and would not run If 1e to l were
omitted, and, with Bryan out Of the way,
Hill would have to be the nominee. The
success of this plot turned upon Hill being
the New York member of the Resolutions
Committee. If he could get there he
would get 16 to omitted.
When his election to this committee
came up he met his fate. Croker, who
controlled the New York representation,
would not consent to bis going on the
committee. Hill begged, threatened and
even wept, but Croker was obdurate.
You cannot CO." said he. 1--WE do not
want you. Van Wyck shall CO." Van
Wyck went, and Hills game was blocked.
We do not, of course, vouch for single
statement in the narrative. All we have
done is to condense the letter to such pro.
portions as suit our columns, and our
readers will guess for themselves how
much they will believe, or whether they
will believe any Of it.

The BshIndhand Democracy.

Denver Republican (Rep.)l
After the Republican party has solved
the Cuban and Philippine problems, as it
certainly will do to the credit Of the
American people, the Democrats will
abandon their opposition to expansion
and fall into line. Then will again be
presented the familiar scene Of the Re-
publican party graphing with new and
advanced issues, and the Democracy rails
ing the cry of opposition. The Democra-
cy is always bringing up the rear. 1t is
always falling into line and accepting
what formerly it condemned. 1t is with
out enterprise. 1t has no capacity to
deal with new questions and new issues,
and that is one reason why it always fails
when entrusted with power and authority.

THE Virginia Democrats who have been
advocating constitutional convention for
the purpose of DISTINGUISHING negro voters,
upon the ground that they were ignorant
and uneducated, are now advocating q
proposition to take away from the negro
public schools all money, except the school
tax paid by negroes in the State. This
shows the insincerity of these Democrats.
They first offer as excuse for disfranchis-
ing the negro bis lack Of educational quail
ifcation for properly exercising the right
of franchise, and then advocate taking
away from him the means for qualifying
himself,

two lives. A frightful cough had long

During the civil war, as well as in our
late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of
the most troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In many instances
it became chronic and the old soldiers
still suffer from it. Mr.. David Taylor Of

these. He uses Chamberlain's Collie,

him such quick relief. 1t is for sale by

SOME Of the Bryanite papers are trying
to show that the Richmond News is Re.
publican paper because it will not shout
for Bryan and the Chicago platform. The
News declines to become a Republican pa
per, but also refuses to permit the Popo-
cratic organs to run it out Of the Demo-
cratic party. We would be glad TO have the
News on our eide, but admire its courage
in refusing to yield to the demands of the
Bryanites and desert what 1t believes to
be true Democracy.

Ex-MAYoR LATRoBE, of Baltimore, who
served seven years as mayor of that city,
and who has been all his life a staunch
Democrat, says that Mckinley will carry
Maryland by majority of forty thousand.
From the way General Latrobe talks, the
Maryland Democracy does not take much
stock in Bryan popocracy.

to quit him as soon as he quilted the

1t is pity he ever was guilty of the folly
of announcing himselfa Democrat. The
announcement did not elevate him much,

The bid for the German vote, by the
declaration of the Kansas City platform
against imperialism and militarism and
the expression of sympathy for the Beers,
does not promise to accomplish much for
Mr.. Bryan. The great detection Of the
German vote from the Republican party
that was expected will not follow. Intel
llgent Germans are more interested in q
sound money policy than the fake declar-
ations against imperialism and militar-
ism" and false sympathy for the Beers.

THE gold Democrats had their confer
ence at indianapolis on Wednesday Of last
week and decided to put no Presidential
ticket in the field. The currency plank Of
the Kansas City platform was severely de-
nounceJ. We take it for granted that
most of the gold Democrats will vote for
Mckinley, few will refrain from voting,
and very few will vote for Bryan.

We notice that number of our Demo
cratic exchanges In this State declare that
the Virginia Democracy are taking more
interest in the Constitutional Convention
than in the Presidential election. They
know very well they can by the use of the
machine" control the one, bat that in
the other election they will be powerless.
This explains the attitude of the Virginia
Democracy.

THE Democrats in Kansas have surren-
dered to the Populists, and the former
permitted the latter, as was done in
Nebraska, to dictate who should be the
fusion candidates for State officers. John
w. Briedenthal (Populist) will head the
Democratic ticket as the candidate for
Governor. Verify, the Democratic party
is being absorbed by the Populists under
the leadership of William Jennings Bryan.
