The Democratic Party.

The Democratic party as a national
party is now disorganized more than
at any time before in its history We
do not except the long period during
and after the Civil War when, az times,
il could not muster an opposition in
Congress which commanded or de-
served the respectful consideration of its
political enemies or Of the country in
the Senate Of the present Congress il has
from no State Of the rich and populous
North n single spokesman and even from
the South few of notable strength
In the House OF Representatives il is
without leadership worthy Of respect,
and It's minority il made up almost
wholly Of men Of mediocre abilities
who have not eve the strength a. an
opposition which disciplined uniformity
Of policy and conviction gives
More than all, both the oonservatlsm
and the sane aggrssslveno>s Of the

Those Asphalt Contracts.

The injunction issued on Tuesday
by Supreme Court Justice MARIAN in
Brooklyn restraining JAMES p. HEATING,
the Commissioner of Highways in this
town, from giving out asphalt con-
tracts aggregating nearly 100000, as
he proposed TO do on Friday, and also
restraining him from letting out any more
asphalt contracts Of any sort, should be
q matter of sincere public thanksgiv-
ing. The injunction WAS brought at the
nominal suit of a taxpayer, but 1t is
well understood that the thief mover
in the proceedings is Mr.. EDWARD NJ.
CIRCUIT, the new Comptroller-elect. Mr..
CIRCUIT has been carrying on a sturdy
fight against this asphalt monopoly for
some time, and all good people here
abouts ought to praise him for it and 20
hold up his hands.
The afidavits submitted to Justice
MARIAN on which the injunction was
granted declare that the proposed con-
tracts were TO be awarded upon speci-
fcntions precluding fair and reasonable
competition and specifically preventing
any person or persons bidding on the
work except the National Asphalt Com
pany. II is asserted that the specit-
cations set up "A test which is artificial
and fallacious and Of no value IN de-
termining the true quality of the asphalt
or Of obtaining good and durable pave
ments. The general allegation l.. IN
fact, that the specifications, 40 laid

ROBBING HILL or FAME.
Author Neville SAYS Cleveland First Used
the Phrase. 81 Am q Democrat"

SYRACUSE, Dec. 4-The Hill Democrats
in Syracuse and the other cities in central
New York are very much incensed over
the publication Of the book, Famous
Sayings of Famous Americans which
was issued yesterday by James j. Neville,
city editor of the Telegram. The book
contains the notable u%tterances of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. the late Presidents McNin-
ley and Harrison, Grover Cleveland. Gen.
Grant, James G.. Blaine, Roscoe Conkling,
William II. Seward and william NJ. Evarts,
and, strange as it may appear to many.
the book disputes the heretofore undis-
puted claim that the Hon. David Bennett
Hill Of Albany and -Wolfert's Roost"
has a copyright on the famous saying.
Il anu a Democrat
Senator Hill achieved fame by using
the expression in a speech delivered in
the city of Brooklyn OF Oct. ~, 1893. The
trademark Il am n Democrat" has chung
to him ever since. Now Mr.. Neville bobs
up and takes the honor OF uttering this we'll
worn sentence from Mr.. Hill and bestows
IL upon the Hon. Grover Cleveland OF New
Jersey. Mr.. Neville finds that in the year
1881. exactly L. years before Mr.. Hill made
his great speech in Brooklyn, Mr.. Clevc-
land In accepting the nomination for Mayor
Of Buffalo used the expression, i am a
l'ttlpFThi.
The Hill men in Syracuse, notably Mayor
Mcclure, former State Tax Commissioner
Henry y. Brewster, Corporation Counsel
Melvin u Haven, former Mayor Thomas
RYAN, former State Committeeman Will
liam II. Kirk and Contractor John Duntce,
sav that Neville virtually charges Mr..
Hill with plagiarism MAYOR Mcclure.

in the States. As an organization for
State politics the Democratic party
seems to be gaining strength rather
than losing it. At least, II Is preserving
its compactness.
In national politics, however. 1t has
no homogeneity OF purpose. The Diff
ference in principle and policy between
its conservative and radical elements
is 80 complete as TO make Of them viz
tually two distinct parties. Each is
struggling for tho mastery of the party
organization, each has its representa-
tives in the feeble minority Of the pres
ent Congress, and as yet no common
ground on which they can get is made
manifest. The attempt Of certain Dem
ocratic politicians in New York to bring
the party together on a platform OF sound
money, tariff revision looking to free
trade, opposition to trusts and a dis
tinct policy toward our possessions ac-
quired by the Spanish war, seems likely
to provoke a clashing Of jealousies
rather than to produce the desired
harmony. 1t involves, apparently, the
displacement of Mr.. HILL as a leader
of the Democracy OF New York, and
consequently as a possible Democratic
candidate for President in 1904, and the
substitution OF a new leader and a new
possibility, with consequences danger
Gus to the party in the election for a
Governor next year. Moreover, actually
there is no agreement but radical differ
ence between the Democracy of the
Union concerning those very questions,
and the suggestion of this common
policy coming from New York and from
an element which resisted the nomina-
ton and opposed the election of Mr..
BRYAN in 1885,, more especially, it is
likely to prove the seed Of discord rather
than harmony. To say nothing of
Mr.. BRYAN, there are many aspirants
in other States than New York for the
leadership Of the Democracy in 1904
who will be slow TO contribute to the
building up of a successful rival here.
The opinion OF Mr.. HILL is that the
true Democratic policy is not to lay
down any platform now, but to wait and
watch for chances to take advantage
of Republican slips in this Fifty-seventh
Congress; and it seems TO be the pre-
vailing view among Democratic poll
ticidns of the Union generally. THAT is,
the only hope Of the Democrats is that
the Republicans will give them an issue
with which to restore their party to ma
tional solidity.
Is there any need Of drawing the les
son from all this?

REVISION COMMITTEE AT WORK.
To Hold Two Sessions Daily Expect 10
Finish in Two Weeks.

WASHINGTON, Dec. <.-1he committee
appointed by the General Assembly OF
the Presbyterian Church upon the general
subject OF revision OF the Confession OF
Faith met In the Church Of the Covenant
here to-day. The absentees were the Rev.
Drs. Charles A. Dickey OF Philadelphia, s. j.
Nichols Of st. Louis and Henry Van Dyke
of Princeton Seminary and Elder John
L. Parsons, New York. II was stated
that these members would DO In attendance
by tomorrow.
II was decided to begin at once the con-
sideration Of the several subjects referred
to II by the General Assembly In full COM
mittee, instead of by sections, and the
three sections. into which the committee
wa divided ut Saratoga, were discharged.
DR.. Nichols, who was chairman of the
section charged with the preparation of
the supplementary statements regarding
Of H the ,0f Holy " sspH : tor and am NJ" sfMdissionSse. " sent
to the committee a draft Of the proposed
additions.
The section TO prepare a statement OF
the Reformed faith, which has been in
session here the past week, submitted TO
the committee half a dozen different state
ments, three Of which were the production
Of members of the section and the other
three Of professors Of systematic theology
In church seminaries, sent at the invitation
Of DR.. DE Witt. One by Prof. william
Adams Brown Of Union Seminary IL said to
have created a very favorable impression.
Some members OF the committee, however,
do not hold optimistic views regarding the
outcome Of the work. One of them Illus
trated his opinion by telling the story OF
two ruling elders who became involved
In a business quarrel. When they learned
of each others religious views, one said:
We are two elders: we ought 10 settle our
difficulties without trouble" To which
the other responded: That's the very rea-
son why we won't
The committee will hold two daily sessions
morning and afternoon and expect TO get
away inside OF two weeks. Work on the
declaratory statement, that being the first
subject mentioned in the assembly's orders.
was begun at this afternoons session.
President Roosevelt will receive the
members OF the committee in the White
House at 10 o'clock Tomorrow; on Friday
night there will be a dinner and reception at
the residence Of Gen. Foster; on Saturday
night a dinner by the Mems Society OF the
Church of the Covenant, and on the 10Th
inst. the committee will be entertained
by the Presbyterian Union Of Baltimore.

known as Advertising Experience We
derive the subjoined declaration:
Personally. I am for = broad liberal use Of Inc
malls
We should say there was no doubt OF
that. About twenty months ago Mr.,
MASON delivered in the Senate a speech
entitled Food and Drink which was
really more or less of an advertisement
Of the sparkling beverages produced
by the legitimate enterprise OF certain
American manufacturers OF true oham-
payne" as Senator MASON styled 1t.
During those twenty months or 80,
we do not know how many dozens, or
scores, or hundreds Of copies Of Mr.,
MAsoN's great speech on true cham
payne have found their way to this
office, accompanied by the Senator's
Enthusiastically rolling and bubbling
signature in facsimile by way OF a
frank through the mails.
There is nothing illegal in this method
of advertising, since the true champagne
speech, as an excerpt from the Con-
pressionai Record, is technically en-
titled to free transit through the United
States mails.
But the peculiar and persistent en-
thusiasm of the chairman Of Post Offices
and Post Roads for the dissemination
of this particular gem of oratory had
already prepared us to believe his an
nouncement that he favors a broad and
liberal use of the mails.
