Under the hon

TWO LEADERS.

eSG ana fearless
leadership of Grover Cleveland, the
democratic party obtained control of the
executive and both branches of the
legislative department. of the national
government and in addition elected gov
ernors in nearly every one of the mid
die states. In 1896 the party repudiat-
ed the administration of Mr.. Cleveland
and the policies for which he stood, &C.
cepted Mr.. Bryan as the party leader
and endorsed his cheap money vagaries.
Mr.. Bryan's populistic pandering has
lost to democracy all the prestige secur-
ed for it. in national and state admins
tration, by Mr.. Cleveland. The demo
cratic party today is without COVER
nor in single middle or eastern state
ana e hopeless minority in both
houses of congress. In 1895 Mr.. McKin-
ley, standing upon a platform endorsing
the financial policy of Grover Cleveland,
was elected president. In 1900, upon
the issue of sound money, he is again
victorious. The republican party is
now in control of both houses of con-
gress and is in charge of the state gov.
ernment of every northern state save
three small silver states in the Rockies.
All this the republican party has at.
tanned merely by following democratic
precedent. The position the democratic
party would now occupy in public con-
fidence, if it had only adhered to it's
principles and remained true to former
leadership, is apparent.
Yet misguided followers enthusiastic
cally refer to Mr.. Bryan as peerless
leader" Mr.. Bryan is now grooming
himself for "third" battle. Mr.. Gro
ker appears to be willing. Immediately
following the announcement of Mr..
Mckinley 8 re. election, Mr.. Croker sent
to Mr.. Bryan the following significant
telegram, 'defeated but not dismayed. !"
Will the democrats of the nation
acquiesce in another campaign under
"twin leadership" of Bryan and
Croker?

day before the wedding, and he left
at the same time the bridal pair did,
although he was driven to q different

the station, carrying his travelling bag.
he was aware that he was creating q
sensation. but was totally at q loss to
account for It. In the car he found
that he was still the object of amused
attention. The porter positively snick-
cred as he passed his seat, and finally
just as the train drew out he came up
and assisted the churchman to remove
his overcoat.
"What is the matter with you, my
