All good democrats rejoice at the
success of the democratic ticket in
st. Louis. From a partisan stand
point, if we had been resident of St,
Louis, we would have opposed Wells
nomination, but after he was nomi-
mated. he was clearly entitled to the
full democratic support. The fact
that he had bolted the party in 1896
was good reason for his not being
nominated, but any democrat who
refused to support the nominee be-
came bolter himself No one aues-
toned Mr.. Wells ability and fitness
Tor the office. His nomination and
election showed that the citizens Of
that city had a surfeit of Ziegen-

admit that Mr.. Wells was supported |
by the best people of st. Louis and
the outside world looks to Mayor
Wells and his associates to purify the
