Evidently CONGRESSMAN william d Daily is
booked for large space in the Bryan Caoine'
ff-but for the discussion of that matter ahothei
time will serve. More to the purpose Tor the
present is the fact that Mr. DAILY has been let
ting himself go again and IL anybody should
happen to find a stray hat anywhere IN urban
or suburban Hoboken, he will probably be able
to identify il by casual reference to few OF the
few remarks made by gentleman who recently
returned from Kansas City. Mr.. DAILY IS thus
reported: For the sake Of harmony ana the
success of the party, when the 10 TO element
pleaded with us Ohe Committee on FlatI'rHp
not to take the fight into the Convention de-
cided as the best way out Of the dilemma 20
Introduce my resolution making militarism and
trusts the paramount issues. My suggestion
was Immediately adopted" Consequently. as
Mr. DAILY paramountly proceeds along para
mount lines. the paramount issue is made;
and although "the Republicans will doubtless
attempt to create the impression that the silver
plank is the paramount issue, they know mat
that question is settled. for the time at least
Moreover, the platform with the paramount
issue paramount is the greatest ever issued by
any political party. and upon it we shall win"
AS the result-the only perceptible result-of
careful analysis Of the management Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions and the legitimate p-od-
uct Of the same Mr.. DAILY floats naturally
to the top as froth finds its level when the peer
is fresh. In other words. His Paramountcy
noun substantive. and new is paramount
(noun common very common and singular with
the nominative /, possessive my, conspicuously
paramounD, OF course 1t is easy, therefore, to
imagine that Mr DAILY, delivering himself IN his
customary mild and mellow tone Of voice, dem
onstrated anew to the Committee Platform
the previously admitted saccharine seductive
ness of honey and the adhesive amiability Of
wax. Hence sweetness and light emitted their
dreamy illusions over the Convention when.
as Mr.. DAILY ingenuously intmates in his re-
view of himself and his magnum opus it was
fairly spelling for a fight. To Mr. DAILY there
fore the "pee-Dul' modern and DemOCraticI owe
to the Congressman from the With New-Jersey
District either soft and elastic hat or a
portable canopy inhabited by a brick.
Six feet Of determined opposition. well trained
and equipped is said to he standing in front Of
the ambition Of David s Crater. Of Monmouth
County. to succeed Benjamin S. Howell the
member of Congress from the lid New-Jersey
District Ex-United States Senator Blodgett is
the individual with whom Mr. Crater will have
to reckon in his efforts to obtain the delegates
to the convention. Mr Blodgett said quite re-
Gently that individually he had further
bition TO satisfy in a political way. But he
winked ominously and whitfield vigorously when
the probable candidacy of Mr.. Crater was men
toned. He has a long memory and is reputed
to be of the best haters as we'll as one Of
the most generous of friends. He has not for
gotten his friends say. that when he was a
candidate for Governor Mr.. Crater arrayed a
part of the Monmouth County delegation
against him in the State convention that nomi-
mated the late Robert S. Green, and it would be
unnatural for him to forget that turn about is
fair play. Apparently Mr.. BIodgett is not TAX

is concerned, but it is safe TO say that he will
be within hearing distance of the lid District
Congress Convention when it meets
