The New Democratic Leadership
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The turn of the Democratic kaleido-
scope is bringing pieces of glass to-
gether in different form. The decline
of Mr.. Bryan is followed by the defeat
of Senator Jones. of Arkansas. The
two were linked together, and they go
down in company.
AS Mr.. Jones goes out of the Senate
Mr.. German comes back. The new
leadership which came in with Bryan
ism gives way to the old leadership
which it superseded. Before 1896 Mr..
German was the Democratic leader OF
the Senate. With the advent Of Bry-
anism Mr. Jones, who was Mr.. Bryan's
next friend and representative, took
the reins Now comes the reversal
and Mr.. Jones steps down and Mr..
German steps up.
Mr. Jones is a Bourbon while Mr..
German is an Opportunist. The
former presents the paradox of learning
nothing and forgetting nothing while
at the same time standing for the new
waywardness of his party. He shares
with Mr.. Bryan all the vagaries Of free
silver coinage. POpulism, socialism
and disOrganization. But having once
swallowed them he is a Bourbon in his
obstinate adherence. Mr.. German, on
the other hand. shifts with the currents
of the hour. He is shrewd and wary
and knows how TO trim his sails to the
passing breeze He is a far abler lead
er than Mr.. Jones. and much safer be
cause he is allied with more conserva
= tive interests.

Especial Upon reconsideration. the re-
gistrars for Front Royal District have
determined that ex-Postmaster c. l..
Pritchard who is a member OF the Re
publican State Committee, is entitled to
register, and his name has accordingly
been enrolled on the registration books.
AS was reported in a recent issue of the
Dispatch Mr.. Pritchard was refused re-
.gistration on the ground that he was a
nonresident in the sense and spirit of the
registration laws. he having been, for
the past few years, IN the employment
of the government at Washington The
case has aroused considerable interest in
this county as Mr.. Pritchard is one of
the leading Republicans in this section of
the State, and yields considerable power
with the Republican machinery of Vir-
ginia.
The total registration for Front Royal
District now numbers 315-3o3 whites and
- negroes Throughout the county, the
voters seem to be apathetic and little
interest is being taken, Notwithstanding
he efforts of the County Committee and
leading politicians. It is estimated that
not over so per cent. of the qualified vot-
.ers in the county will register.
