A Barre Painter Drowned.

The body of Thomas J Griffin was
found floating face downward in Stew
ems branch near Hills station in Bar
re at O'Clock the morning of July 9,
and the indications were that the body
had been in the water for some time.
On the back OF the head was a bad cut.
which gave rise to the suspicion Of
foul play
II was evident that the body had
tloated down the river from some
point above and had been stopped
where it was found by a snag, as one
foot was caught. The face was dis
colored and had begun to decompose.
Chief Brown and several others at
once identified the body as that OF
Thomas j. Griffin, painter, who had
been missing since July but whose
disappearance had not been reported
At the autopsy it was found that the
lungs were partially filled with water
and the only mark on the body was
the cut on the head, which was not
sufficient to have caused death. There
is much speculation rs to how the man
got in the river. Persons who knew
him say that he had been drinking
heavily for some time. The last seen
OF him was July 6. when bis former
boarding mistress, Mrs Ryan of Gran
lite street, saw him going toward Riv-
er street. Griffin went to Barre from
st. Johnsbury u years ago. He was
y years OF age and unmarried.

The only issue upon which all these
discordant elements OF the Democracy
really agree is that Of opposition to the
Republican policy in the Philippines.
Anyone can see at a glance that this
question is not alone sufficient 10 base
a campaign on. The country has al
ready expanded it is accomplished.
As 70 the particular details OF govern
ment Of these Pacific islands, the peo-
pie generally care very little. Matters
nearer home claim their attention.
They are getting used to the barking
of the Democracy on the outside.
They expect that everything the Re-
publicans do will be opposed by the
Democrats. As long as the ship sails
as true as it has under the guidance of
Mckinley and Roosevelt, the pre-
ponderance ofvoters, remembering a
not remote experience with a Demo-
cratic pilot, can be relied on to keep
the same crew aboard. Even some
mistakes would be tolerated, rather
than that the biting and clawing ele-
ments which call themselves the De-
mocracy should be called in The
Republican party faces an opposition
the most inane and the least threaten
ing in its career 1t is too weak even,
to properly police the party in power
A more formidable opponent would
serve as a needed counterpoise, now

1t is popularity of human nature

by reason of personal misfortune deep
affection follows closely in its path.
Had Mckinley survived the assassin's
bullet, he would have received more
evidence than ever of the tender feel
ing that Americans bore toward him.
The blessing that was denied to the
late president is being realized by
King Edward of Great Britain. His
recent close approach to death has
awakened his subjects to a full appre-
citation of his virtues, and made them
insensible of his trailties. His coming
coronation will be more than the vain
pomp that showed so conspicuously
last month. 1t will now be a heartfelt
manifestation of love and loyalty, ac-
companied by the liveliest sense OF
gratitude. King Edward is nearer to
his people than ever, and they, having
watched his progress toward recovery
with the keenest anxiety, feel that he
is theirs more than ever before.

OUR FRIENDS, THE ENEMY.

The badly demoralized Democratic
party is trying to pun itself together
and get into the best shape possible
for the Congressional elections this
fall, with an eye ahead to the presi-
dental contest two years hence. The
Democracy has been in pretty bad
shape since its Bryanie experience
the worst even in its long series OF
trials and misfortunes. 1t has not
only suffered two successive and COM
plete defeats, but what is vastly worse
for it, there is no cohesion left in il.
The party is almost as badly disrupted
as the British Liberals. II lacks lead
ers. and those it has view each other
with suspicion, quarrel among them
selves and are distrusted even by their
own followers There is no esprit du
corps, no pull-together spirit left in
the Democracy. The complete failure
of the Mugwump Democracy under
Cleveland 10 satisfy either the party or
the country only made way for the
self-destruction that followed under
the Organized Democracy.
Today there are three violently hos
tile elements seeking to obtain the
Democratic helm. First is Bryan.
with his idea, both fully exploded, but
nevertheless active and vindictive
toward the others, to whose treachery
the defeats OF '96 and 1900 are attrib-
uted. Next is the old Cleveland rem
nant that seems quite willing to Justify
itself and bend the party to its will.
Third is the David B. Hill following.
which, though it has never affiliated
with Clevelandism, and heartily de-
spises Mugwumpery, is bitterly OPP
posed to Organism, both on principle,
and because its leader has been sub
jected to repeated indignities at the
hands Of the Nebraska potentate.
Also might be mentioned a possible
fourth element-the Hon. Arthur P.
German and his contingent-but these
are not so far removed from the Hill
faction as to warrant being placed in a
class OF their own.
All efforts to harmonic these discor-
dant elements have so far failed.
Bryan is absolutely irreconcilable.
Whether he leads or not next time, he
is determined that his latter-day brand
of Democracy shall be the standard.
and that the malcontents who caused
him so much trouble shall wander in
the wilderness awhile longer. or re-
cant their ideas. He wouldn't even
attend the so-called harmony dinner"
given by the new Tilden club in New
York recently, at which Cleveland
emerged from his retirement lone
enough to pour vitriol into the wounds
he had already inflicted, and where
he and Hill broke bread for the first
time in many long year. The Hill
and Cleveland factions have long
standing differences between them,
and their leaders quite disagree on
some matters, especially the tariff,
Hill being inclined toward protection,
while Cleveland still harps on free
trade. They are together on finance,
however, as against Bryan. In the
