IT WAS stated In the Gazette's Wash
ington correspondence yesterday that
some of the democratic Senators did
not seem to care much for the defeat OF
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who is also
chairman OF the democratic national
committee, as his defeat would probably
eliminste him from national politics.
As nothing succeeds like success so,
conversely, nothing fails like failure.
One of the points made against Mr.
Jonss is that be still adheres to Mr..
Bryan and that as the latter has been de-
feated for President the former should be
for Senator. Mr.. Jones did not nominate
Mr.. Bryan for President, but the dem
ocratic party did, and as chairman ofthe
party he did all In his power to win a
victory. Having failed, it comes with
poor grace from democrats to gloat over
the defeat OF either. But popular favor
now, as heretofore, ia a bubble. The
same populace who applaud q man to-
day will rend hin tomorrow.
