The Senate Promises Democracy
 Half Way Job.

party, and Colorado mas been gong paoh
 to the Republican camp for several years. There is but one more silver victory ln that State possible, and that is the re-
 election of Teller. Teller's abilities, char acter and experience may pull nm through but he must have the support of the Populists. Teller left the Repupil- can party in 1896 because silver was re- pudiated in the national convention. Fat o terson left the Democratic party Tn Is'- because Is to i was voted down in the rational convention. Recently both be- came Democrats but Thomas appears to
 be a big ger man than both of them.
 Teller ought to be reelected because
 he is an abler and an honest man, not
 becaus of his politics. When the Federal
 Senate convenes. next March the minor
 ity side is going to be very interesting. Arthur F. German will be the titular and the actual leader That will not suit MT Bryan. but that gentleman will not be
 able to help himself A year ago young Bailey astonished the political world by
 coming out for German. Only few years before the youthful Texan did not consider the veteran Marylander as ex-
 actly holy in political way, and some guesses more or less shrewd, were ven. tured as to the thisness and thusness or the young statesmans action. The oth- CTS vii fall in-the veterans Teller ana the cadet Foster.
 Bill Joel Stone is liable to be a Sena, tor by next Marcn. fe can oe u'pC1taC" on to follow Gorman's lead. The Hon. | James B. McCreary will be one Of the
 Maryland Napoleon's field marshals;
 Cockrell and Morgan and Blackburn and
 Clay and Bacon and Berry Will fali In
 and take their orders from the astute eader But there Is Ben Tillman It Is
 going to take a hoss to lead him. MT,
 German is q wise man. Maybe he will
 not undertake to cad the Knight of the
 Pitchfork It is said that MT. German
 wants to lead on tariff lines He is a
 Randall Democrat So is Mr. Bailey
 What Carmack, the Rupert of the Senate,
 thinks of that is plenty. MT. Carmack
 has a tongue. And that Democratlc
 Senator with a tongue, l count no Demo- crat, if with his tongue he cannot tell what he thinks about the tariff Car, mack end Champ Clark are liable to tell German and Bailey something about the
 tariff before the Fifty-eighth Congress is
 out of it's first planlted shad season; Then
 there will be work for Field Marshal McCreary, who will be ordered to the front with his smoothing iron. No better man for the business could be found He was one of CarlisleS men when tarin was paramount years ago. He was one or Bryans men when calamity was para mount. And in the next Congress he will | be GormanS s man.
 German in Congress and David E. Hill | out of Congress will combat Bryanism. | But they will only half do it. They want
  retain the support of Bryan for the or | ganization. That cant be done. When | ever Mir. Bryan has to give way to a | leader, not of his own selection. MT. l Bryan will bolt. If there ever was na- | tural-born boter in our politics, it is | William J. Bryan. Just keep your eye
 on him. MT. German and MT. Hill have
 attempted the impossible. They would | have the Democratic party pretend to
 be Democratic again and yet retain the | Populist vote And that can't be done. | It is folly to attempt it.
 There is but one thing for the Demo- | cratic leaders to do, and that is to pro- claim some Democracy that will meet the | approval of the great conservative and in | telligent masses of New Hampshire, Con- | necticut, New York New Jersey, Dela- ware, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
 gan. Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. Then nominate good man, and we would | have a great conservative, constitutional, | Jeffersonian, Jacksonian Democratic
 party in the land that would put the | Republican party on it's good behavior. | The masses who have an interest in good | government would flock to 1t and DemOc- | racy would again be in fashion.
 | The Democratic party don't need a 1 feather duster. It needs a mop.
