Mr. Gage and the political pirates who

no human probability that the grasp can

be the fault of Hanna and his myrmidons

short session next winter. Nothing more

Young Cornelius Vanderbilt is a dele

content to let his reputation rest upon

The New York Times complains of
Mr.. Bryan's speech at Chicago on Labor
Day. as an attempt to inject politics into
an occasion which it was agreed was to be
kept free from any such thing. Mr.. Bryan
talked 10 the workingmen OF trusts and
their relations to the toiling masses of the
country. That was not political but eco
nomic talk, and it was entirely proper IN
the circumstances. The trouble is that it
would be impossible for Mr.. Bryan or any
body else 10 talk three minutes to a gath
eriug OF Iaboring folk concerning their in
terests and aspirations without in some
way jumping with both feet upon the Re-
publican party. and the Hanna Mckinley
Administration.

and his views upon the subject should be
regarded as official. Pldtt's State organi-

Belmont for GonGress--In readjust-
ing its Congressional slate this year it is
probable that Tammany Hall win bring to
the front quite number of new men Of
prominence and send others to the rear.
1t would not be surprising, for example,
that instead Of gratifying the ambition Of
the Hon. Tim Campbell TO return to Con-
gress after long and impatient absence.
Tammany should name as the candidate
in the Campbell district no less a person
age than the Hon. 0. H P. Belmont. This
would mean the sidetracking of the Hon.
Thomas J. Bradley, as well as the disap-
poiutment of Campbell. Mr. Belmont, it is
reported in New York, has agreed to &C
eept the nomination if it comes to him as
a free offering from Tammany. 1t is also
rumored in the metropolis that Tammany
may conclude to retire the Hon. Amos J.
Cummings to private life this year, after
a long service on his part The reason
stated for this is that Mr.. Cummings
maintains too friendly personal relations
with some of the newspaper proprietoTs

and impIacably hostile to Tammany.
