DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
Leader Richardson to Talk on the
Subject Soon.


Washington, January 16--Tt lis an
nounced that Congressman Richardson OF
Tennessee. the democratic leader of the
house. will make speech in the house
at an early dilte outlining the plans for
the future government of the democratic
party. 1t is said Mr.. Richardson VIII
upeak by authority OF the leaders OF the
party, including Mr.. Bryan, and that he
will tell just how far the managers will
go toward reorganization of the party.
1t is expected that Mr.. Richardson will
refer safcastlcally to the rec.n mt hubbub
raised by the Eastern gold element of the
party, aud that he will lay down once for
all the position of the present managers,
which is one OF sitting steady in the boat
and waiting for time to clear away the
rhiltls before the party goal. Mr.. RiSh-
ardeon is expected to declare that the
party will niot be turned ever to the gold
element lock, stock and barrel, as some
CT the Fasteners seem to desire, and Il
willIbe made clear that II the mugwumos
and boilers who refused to stand by the
party in the campaigns OF 1896 and 1900
want to govern the party for the next
campaign they must win the fight for the
machinery.
There will be no surrender and the two
singing defeats of the party will not be
taken as reason why the men at Inc
helm should step aside and let the bo.ters
take charge Of the old ship. Mr.. Richard
son VIII probably make his speech when
one of the appropriation bills is before
the house, and it ie intended to send out
the speech as document Tor the benefit
OF the party throughout the country. Tsat
1t will be awaited with great interest
