80 Let every Democrat in Kentucky read
5en. s. B. Buckner's Evolution on
% soebelism" in the Louisville Post Of Feb.
There is new force in politics; we
81 N realizs it and we all feel it keenly.
g Democracy now is no longer what 1t was
10 b my fathers lifetime, 20 years ago.
10, nor in my husbands, six years ago,
30 md for that reason most of our best
men are Dissatisfied with II. We have
2 x Bitter partisans now who claim to be
7SDemocrats.
1 have always admired Mr.. Mckinley
~ tpr bis democratic frequency of moving
at the Capital He has never inn
ss5rhured himself in the White House. He
q q Dor no other man that rules Republic
:. has any right to conduct himself like
os1 Car or Pashs. Some OF his predecess.
"a. prs were equally "a secluded as Rulers Of
9t.s.hsolute monsrehies. Why shouldn't
IL ~ 8an who governs a set OF Democratic,
70 IS % liberty loving people be a pedestrian
:: whenever he chooses Why should he
ID ID Il travel saddled, bridled, booted and
n "a spurred like a plumed Knight in the
d 46 pld legends Or why be muffled in a
b 81 costly equipage? Let him adopt any
Il'Os hammer OF getting around just like any
=. .other man who has athletic tendencies,
II "a who is a free man and who loves liberty
!, a. Of motion like he does liberty of con-
Science. All honor to the head OF the
!. = o' patton, to the Supreme Court, the Cab
. i. met. Senators, congressman, who at last
2 20 were elected by the people who are their
? 20 peers in many respects. 1 am always
z 9s very much interested in the doings OF
Is the National Capital and Capitol spot
%'b but my favorites and watch their careers
as 1 do my friends close at home, and
oachl who are really known to me. Going
nd back to the President for a moment
t Psiof one thing we are we'll aware-that he
si d really loves Mrs. Mckinley, rides with
leo, her occasionally and is fond OF her socie-
witty. From the number of times it has been
=, announced we would naturally imagine
eT, 1t was unusual in administrative circles
. and that his, predecessors were delin-
uuent in said duties. Let us hope ii
1llC Mr.. Mckinley succeeds himself that the
nation is fully satisfied as to his entire
devotion to the lady of the Executive
Mansion. No. do not like Plat, of
00', New York, or Hanna, of Ohio. They
are too much in evidence all the time.
They are too much like machines. They
. are too practical to suit me. 1 like
4 Npolitician Of thought, OF intellect, of de-
-'cision OF character, but one with some
recruitment mixed up in bis composition.
8 i like Morgan, of Alabama, because OF
Shis democratic tendencies and of his
S Hpre-eminence on his side OF the chamber
/ and admire him for his inexhaustible
I fund of information. On any conceiva-
tble subject that is sprung, up springs
! the Alabama Senator with an idea. His
3 astyle is so easy and lucid and literary.
q expect the Congressional Record"
will be embalmed with his wisdom.
rBut--but-but he makes folks" clean
but the galleries and the floor because
V be pushes good thing too far, a lesson
an Tor public men and public speakers
q. Senator Hoar, OF Massachusetts Well |
be is getting good and old and mellow. !,
He and don't gee on expansion, but he
helps the young aspirsnt In politics and |
takes him under his wing, as 1t were, |
