A yashnRton dispatch OF the 9th

spe, eli made by Henry watterson OF
Kentucky ut the biennial banquet Of the
Virginia Democratic Association. by
some, watterson's utterances ma be
regarded as shot air" but to those who
have watched the recent attempts OF
President Roosevelt 10 get control Of
the army by degrading General Miles.
Watterson's words viii have a deeper
significance:
1We are Democrats. We love our
country. Our hearts beat true to its
institutions. Wc would rescue the
Government from the hands Of those
who are converting it into a Govern.
ment OF the trusts, for the trusts and by
the trusts, and restore it to the hands OF
those who will have some regard for the
rights OF tho people. Tho Republican
party is a syndicated party. Arbitrary
power is lite motive. the almighty dollar

the gait it Ii going, it will in the end
surely Mexicanize the republic.
