Congressman Martin, of this
state, has something Of q reputa-
ton as an orator, and at d recent
social gathering OF republicans
ii st. Louis he was invited to
deliver the address. In iollying
up his republican compatriots
he said:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow-Republi-
cAns-St. Louis hospitality Is famous
throughout the world. Every man,
woman and child between the Atlantic
and Pacific expects To move to st.
Louis IN 1908, aud live OF their rela-
lions. VIZ expect to lind you In your
good clothes, and with open arms ex-
tending = st. Louis welcome. Ny
pleasure In accepting the invitation to
attend this meeting tonight has been
intensified by the fact that as q lad Ia
nv teens my home was In st. Louis
from 1870 to rs. / have formed q
high opinion Of the sterling qualities
OF Missouri republicans. It has al
ways meant something to be q repub-
lican in Missouri. / want to express
my profopnd admiration for that army.
OF political patriots who with Spartan
courage have held aloft the bright
torch Of republication in the midst OF
: dense and benighted democracy, and
WhoSfOr 10! these many years, have
marched TO the polls on election day
deserving and expecting victory, to
be rudely awakened next morning by
the usual announcement OF 49, 600 dem
Ocratic majority. A state that was the
home of Ulysses S. Grant and William
i. Sherman can not always remain
outside the republican political fold.
Our opponents complain that we dwell
too much upon the past. I suppose
you feel az / do about it, and, per-
s0nally, / am glad to belong to q
political organization that has q his
tory to which we can refer with pride.
To my mind it was never any special
recommendation for the populistic-
democratic mule that it is said to be q
creature without either pride OF ances-
try or hope Of p~osterity. While riding
on the train recently with a democrat
Of the old school we were looking at a
cartoon on the drst page of q daily
newspaper ia which Mr.. Bryan and
the democratic mule figured promi-
nently. He turned to me almos,
patheticslly, and said: "Martin, why

They decided 1t was full time to re-
turn to old traditions and standards
to fight the next state battle on the
safe issue of tariff reform or what

means to avoid another public discus

eminently satisfactory to Mr.. Mclean

CHRISTMAS JOYS
At THE CAPITAL
WashInston viii Celebrate the
Day With Various Kinds ef
Festivities at the For
elan Legations.

Washington, Dec. Is. Christmas
in Washington has some advantages
which are not common to the remain
der of the country. All the little boys
and girls who are acquainted with the
folks at the Russian embassy have
two Christmas days. The Russians
date their time according to the old
calendar, and their December 25 does
not come until January 6. when the
rest of the country is celebrating the
Epiphany. This does not make 1t un-
pleasant for the children connected
with The embassy, because they have a
royal good time on the regular day
and the patriotism of Count Cassini,
Tie ambassador, assures them anoth-
er feast on January 6.
Count Cassini always remembers
the poor of the city and makes a sub
stantial donation to the charitable
funds. Then there are The Siamese,
Koreans, Japanese, Turks and Chinese
who enter into the spirit Of the day
and follow the customs of this coun.
try as nearly as they may.
In Washington there are also dip
diplomats from the various German
speaking countries, where the Christ
mas tree originated. The German am
bassador is a bachelor and none of his
staff is married, so there are no trees
but at the Austro-Hungarian embassy
the ambassador and the Baroness Hen
gelmuller have gorgeous Christmas
tree.
Mr.. Calderon, the Peruvian minister
intends to celebrate Christmas in q
very practical way this year. He has
sent invitations to several young Pc
ruvian students who are at colleges
in the United States to be his guests
during the Christmas holidays. He
intends to give these young men q
genuine American Christmas.
The Italian ambassador. Signor May
or des Planches, will celebrate accord.
ing to the Italian style, and to do this
perfectly requires three days. On
Christmas night Signor des Pianches
will give what the Italians call q
''sarteni" or Christmas ball. Miss
Alice Roosevelt will lead the dance
and the guests will be the debutantees
of the season.
Even the little Turks will enjoy q
real Christmas this year. The consul
general of Turkey is German-Amer-
lean and he will have tree at his
house for his children.

what this select committee of three
are pleased to regard as an urgent
need for reform I'm the organization
of the Ohio Democracy in preparation
for the battle of next year, says w.
S. Couch in his Washington corre-
spondence to the Clevland Plain Deal
er. Their unanimous opinion is that
"Johnsonism" must be eliminated
from the party If success Is to crown
its banners. They take the ground
that under the leadership of Mayor
johnson the Ohio Democrats lost the
state by 10000 and that these figures
effectually prove the Cleveland man to
be untitled as leader.
