SARATOGA SCENES.

There was never before such a dis
play of wealth at Saratoga as there is
this year. The oldest bookmakers are
astonished at it. and comment upon
it. 1t is estimated by those who are
in a position to know that there is
fully four times as much money at the
famous resort as there was last year
that is, four times as much for sport
ing purposes. 1t is said that about
every visitor has pocket full of
cash.
Naturally there is a great deal of
betting on the race track, a vast
amount of gambling in the gambling
four running wide open. and an i'm
mense expenditure of money in other
directions. 1t is said that 81 900 bets
at the gambling table are very COM
mon and a loss by a single individual
of $4,000 or $4,000 in an evening is
an event that excites very little COM
ment.
OF course Saratoga would not be
complete without John w. Gates and his
chubby son Charley. 1t is stated in
the dispatches that it is not an I'M
common thing to see John W. Gates
on the race track with a roll of bills
as big around as his wrist betting
freely on the horses that take mis-
fancy, and he is not always lucky.
His son Charley seems 60 be gifted
with humor as well as afflicted with
flesh. One of the reports is to the eff
feet that while playing at Canfields
gambling house on Saturday night a
neat, dapper man with light brown
mustache passed before his line of Wis
ion in going from the restaurant to
the mems cafe. You know who that
little chap is?" said he, turning to a
friend who was playing white chips
at his side.
mo, DON'T was the rejoinder.
That's little Augie Belmont, from
whom pop and 1 took the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad"
And men like this fat boy Charley
Gates. on account of their wealth, are
able to gamble in our great railway
properties. What do these men care
for the interests of the people, or for
anything, for that matter, except their
own pleasures and money making
schemes. They gamble in railroad, in
the necessaries of life and in fact
in anything in which the opportunity
to gamble is offered. The welfare of
the country is a matter of no conse-
quence to them, and by their example
of reckless extravaganza they make
the people disconnected.

THE REASON OF MIR. BRYAN's AN
NOUNCEMENT

The newspapers continue to pay al
most as much attention to Mr.. Bryan
as they did when there was no doubt
that he was the leader of the Demo-
cratic party. He is wonderfully sue
cessful in keeping himself before the
country-so successful, in fact. that it
is a question whether he did not pur-
posely take three interviews. to get
the country correctly informed in re-
spect to his intention relative TO tA8
presidential nomination in 1904.
In his last interview he said that he
would not be a candidate in 1904, but
did not say that he would not accept
the nomination if it were offered to
him. He could hardly be expected to
say that. however. There is no doubt
that if it were offered to him he would
feel it his duty to accept it.
II is not probable, however, that II
will be offered TO him. If it were he
would not have made the announce
ment he did. He decided not to be
candidate because he saw that the
party had practically dropped him as
its leader. The fact that the Demo-
Gratis CT the great Democratic state
of Georgia made no mention of either
him or the Kansas City platform in
the resolutions they adopted at their
last state convention as we'll as the
failure of Democratic conventions in
many other states to indicate that they
still had confidence in his leadership,
must have convinced him that in the
next national campaign his services
would be more appreciated in the
ranks than in the position of leader.
II must not be assumed of course
that Mr.. Bryan has no followers. They
are to be found in every state. but not
in sufficient numbers to give him the
place at the head of the party. When
the national convention meets there
will be dozens of others whose influ-
ence will be greater than his.
Mr.. Bryan. therefore, had the best
of reasons for saying that he would
not be a candidate for the nomination
in 1904. He saw that the party did not
intend to offer him the nomination
And now that he is out of the presi-
Dental race his chief object seems to
be to prevent any one of those who
did not give him a hearty support in
1896 and 1900 from getting the nomi-
nation. He may be successful in that
ambition. for the reason that Demo-
Gratis generally desire harmony in the
party. They want the two factions to
get together.
