they dread is this continued attacks on

strikes another fierce blow:
Not only did the fusion with Popuism
result in disaster, as all departures TO ephe-
neral issues are sure to do. but defeat did
not seem to teach us anything. The par
ty of Jefferson has ever since continued to
masquerade in the livery OF Popullsm,
swearing eternal fealty to doctrines voted
down again and again by the people, un-
ill., for four successive years, the election
returns show that it has steadily fallen
lower and lower in public estimation. To-
day we have but three United States SEN
ators in the entire North, and but two IN
the four Democratic border states.
There are Northern Democratic governors
in Idaho and Colorado only. -Four States
carried by US, even in the adverse days OF
1896, have been lost since, and three more
are doubtful. The only States regained in
these four years Of Democratic despond-
ency are Kentucky, which has again I'M

most quickly and surely responds to the
average public sentiment of the country,

publicly TO depict this gloomy situation,
nor is it comforting to contemplate fall
ure for the old party under whose banner
we have marched and fought so long; yet
what has been here said is just what al
most every Democrat is saying IN the
privacy of his family Gree. The time
has come to speak out, and many Demo

ready begun to proclaim the facts.

The democrats 1--WE mean the pure and
undefled) held meeting in New York,
April 10Th. Many prominent leaders
were present. Bryan was indirectly as
sailed, in fact often openly burlesqued.
Joseph ]. Willett, of Alabama, one of the
great leaders Of the South, thus pummeled
the peerless O. William Jennings Bryan :
Mr. Bryan is no longer regarded by
any considerable body of intelligent men
in the South as a statesman or even as a
profound man. He has all the CONNER
cial and manufacturing classes unltedly
opposed to him throughout the whole
country nowhere more bitterly than in
the South. Even the politicians who are
shouting for him admit it is impossible
for him to win with this handicap. In
my opinion, the Democratic party should
nominate a conservative man who would
not frighten the business interests of the
country"
This sally was greeted with prolonged
cheers, and the speaker also roundly
scored the 10 to I heresy.
The most eloquent speaker, however,
who addressed the meeting, was eX-Gov-
ernor Campbell, of Ohio He was in a
reflective mood, add told many solid
truths He showed why Bryan had such
strong following, why he polled such a
heavy vote. He openly confessedit, there
by admitting that Cleveands administra-
ton had about ruined this nation. lie
truly depicted the conditions existing then,
in the following language. Mark it:
when the Chicago convention met,
times were out ofUoint. Universal depres-
son reigued. Labor sought employment
farmers got little for produce; mines, mills,
and furnaces were idle and transportation
lines but partially in operation. Every
thing was ripe for an attack upon existing
conditions. Any nostrum III porting to
be a panacea for the ills Of the body poll
tic was eagerly swallowed The PopuIist
party sprang into existence as the creature
of this unhappy period.
SO, here is an admission that nostrums
were used on the American people, and
that the times left US by Cleveland, rem
dered any old thing good enough for the
American people.
The Ex-Governor, however, stops not
here. He is after blood. He is after the
delusive Is to fable. He again sharpens
his Ratchet, and proceeds to hew down
that Populistc, unholy tree that threatens
again to falllinto the Democratic garden
and mash the vegetables therein growing
Read
at is sufficient to know that 40 to =
is dead, and that just so long as we pro-
claim our intention to resurrected it, just
that long will our resurrection be post
poned.
Should we affirm the Chicago platform
in its entirety, and thus declare for dis
carded ratio, we SO daringly threaten the
prosperity of the country that it must GER
tainly drive away large part OF that vast

LEAVING THE OLD PARTY.

Many of the most prominent members
% the Democratic party, in Missouri, are
lie lving it. At Carthage on election day,
S. S. Brice, the well-known mining engi-
ne er who had been a lifelong Democrat,
went into the baloting place, and, after
receiving two ballots, according to regu-
lations, he voted the Republican ticket,
putting the Democratic ballot in ispock-
ct. The unused ticket was, of course,
ralled for by the judges, to be placed in
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1900-04-28

the box OF rejected ballots, according 10
the new law. Thereupon, Mr.. Brice pulled
the unused Democratic ticket from his
pocket and holding it up, said = want 70
keep that as a souvenir. Am ] not al
lowed to keep it 4? want it as amemento
OF the fact that now vote the Republican
ticket. Furthermore, | want to serve no
tice that am an expansionist, so-called
inperiaIi-t and protectionist and want to
use this ticket to mark the mile stone in
my life"
The Judges. however. insisted on hav-
ing the ticket, and he gave it to them
Brice had been voting the Democratic
ticket for thirty-four years. He was sucf
a Democrat in 1904 that they burned him
in efigy as a copperhead, at Bronton, y.
]. He remained a strong Democrat unit
after the 1896 campaign. He now declare
against the party, which he says has aban'
doned all its best principles.
A similar instance happened at another
polling place at said election. A gray
haired citizen, emerging from the voting
place said:
Il have been voting the Democratic
ticket for half century, but have JUS
now-for the first time in my life-voteo
the Republican ticket have bad enough
of the Democratic party and its plumbers
and the Lord helping me, will nevei
vote that ticket again"
Thus the current sets in, and the Re
publican party receives the votes OF nu
merous. solid, substantial citizens. The
Dem cratic party will meet another Water
loo, this fall.

The practice of carrying a revolver is
a most dangerous one. 1t sent Nellie
Madison to her grave, and Arthur Har-
den to the penitentiary for life. Yet,
scores of people in this city, carry revol-
-vers, and think it smart 10 do so. The
fault lies with the law, too. Magistrates
should not be given jurisdiction in prose
cutions for carrying dangerous and dead
" weapons; the Circuit Court alone
should be vested with power in the prem
ises. Offenders should be heavily pun
ished by fine and imprisonment Only
towards, brutes and criminals, carry re-
volvers.

American Firemen In London.

A London cablegram says:
Chief George Hale of the Kan,
sas City fire department, with his
crew that beat the world in Paris
last week, gave an exhibition in
London today. The methods of
the American firemen, the dash of
Hale's, together With the marve.
lous work of the trained horses
evoked general admiration.
The chief said to the Daily
News correspondent:
If London had infammable
buildings like those of New York
and Chicago, with her present
leisurely fire department, they
would be in ashes within two
weeks. However, the English are
wise in building against tire, in
stead of attempting to maintain a
brilliantly effective fire-fghting
establishment

Hale's men at the United States
embassy this morning and told
them he wished they had been
