Referring to the recent interview with
Chairman Jones of the democratic national
committee, in which a discreet jurist,
Obscure business man." was sug-
gested for the leadership of the democ-
racy in 1904. the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
Chairman Jones is to be commended for
thoughtfulness in the matter of deV:sng
plans to assure democratic success. The
Enquirer regards ii as safe to say that he
was not at heart as enthusiastic for the
Bryan and free-silver program last year
he may have appeared to be. He was
among many thousands of damocrats-but
more conspicuous than the rest of them
on account of his managing position-who
recognized the fact that a great change
was coming about in issues. He was. how
ever, loyal and ardent in supporting the
official program.
What a campaign, indeed, that of last
year in the democracy's interests was.
Everybody connected with it seemed to be
in dead earnest. The partys orators from
Mr.. Bryan down, were full of fire and elo-
quence. The partys organs. including the
esteemed Enquirer, were filled daily with
the most hopeful accounts of the situation.
That Mr.. Mckinley was marked for retire
ment from office at the end Of one term
was asserted in terms without qualifica-
ton. Mr.. Bryan's followers became en-
thusiastic. Some of them put up hard
earned cash TO help along. Others risked
their regulations for prophecy and named
the states that would record themselves for
free silver and against Imperialism. There
was nothing, indeed enanating from ac-
credited democratic sources that did not
promise to those who wanted the democ-
racy to win that the democracy would win
But now comes the intelligence that
thousands of democrats were without

But his duties as chairman of the ma

He affected a confidence when he had it
not. And this he did Loyalty to the very
end. He was able to figure out a majority
for Mr.. Bryan the very day before the
country elected Mr. Mckinley by a major

This statement of the case is of less mo-

Many citizens continue to decline the Of
flee of president of Cuba. Either offices Of
like nature are of varying degrees of de-
STABILITY or the theory that human nature
is the same the world over must receive
a shock. Maxine Gomez and Estrada
Palma have held Office under authority of
Cubans and their declination of the high
office of president may have been dictated
more by experience than by self-denial.
So it is that the sign ITO let tenaciously
sticks to the office of president of Cuba.
