The general managers looked at our
representative sympa thetically. and

him.

Pennsylvania swell, who pulled indif-
ferently at a 5O-cent cigar.
The west end representative was I'M
happily accustomed to facing the finger
of scorn on such occasions. 1t had be-
come with our managers a tradition.
There was never a conference of trans
continental lines III which We were not
scoffed at as the weak link in the chain
OF everything-mail, passenger, specials,
what not.
This time a new man was sitting
for the line at the Chamberlin dinner;
d yOungish man with a face that set
like cement when the west end ewas
trod on.
The postmaster general was inclined.
from the reputation we had, to look on
our man as one looks at a dog without
a pedigree. or at a dray horse in a
bunch of standard breds. But some
thing in the mouth of the west end
man gave him pause. The postmaster
general suppressed a rising sarcasm
with a sip of Chartreuse and waited;
nor did he mistake, the west ender was
about to speak.
why west of the Missouri" he
asked with lift of the face not alto
gether candid. The Pennsylvania man
shrugged his brows.
If it is put through, how much of
it do you propose to take yourself?" in
quired our man. looking evenly at the
Allegheny official.
''Sixty-five miles, including stops
from the New York postoffice to Canal
street" replied the Pennsylvania man,
and his words flowed with irritating
ease.
What do you take2" continued the
man with the jaw, turning to the Bur-
lingtOn representative, who was strug-

the O. manager, with the loneliness
o. a man who has miles TO throw away.
Then suppose we say sixty-fiVe from
Tenth and Mason to ogden" suggested
the west ender. There was a well
bred stare the table round. Sixty-five
miles an hour? Through the Rockies?
The postmaster general struck the
table quick and heavily; he didn't want
to let it get away. why, hang it, Mr..
Bucks he exclaimed with emphasis,
If you will say sixty, the business is
done. We don't ask you to do the

from doing it." said General Manager
Bucks. He had been put up then only
about six months. But"
Everyone looked at the young man
ager. The Pennsylvania man looked
with confidence, for he instantly sus-
pected there must be a string to such
a proposition, or that the new repre-
sentative was talking through his
hat"
But what?" asked the cabinet mem
Der, uncomfortably apprehensive.

Jimmie had a grievance, and every

Then Jimmie would get mad and

would laugh The talk always ended
that way, and Jimmie Bradshaw knew
1t always would end that way
The trouble was, no one on the di-

would go plugging to gray hairs and

they were signed by our people with

the exploiters and the representatives of
militarism.
The fight il on between a Democracy
that means Democracy and Clevelan-
dism which means plutocracy. Every
speech made ny Mr., Cleveland shows
more clearly the effectiveness of the
policies for which he stands. We have
more to fear from those who, like Mr..
Hill, indorse Mr.. Cleveland's views, but
conceal their real purpose in ambiguous
language.
At the Tilden club meeting Mr.. Hill
tersely gave his view of the leading
questions concerning Democrats at this
time az follows;
There is substantial accord among
the Democrats of the country upon all
the timely issues which are now en-
crossing pnblic attention.
I'VE are all united in favor of the
preservation of constitutional liberty
wherever our flag floats. We are OPP
posed "a the permanent poncy or thls
government to the maintenance of de-
pendent colonies to be governed outside
of the pale Of the constitution. We are
all agreed that the civil should always
be superior to the military power. We
all concur in the principle that public
taxation should be imposed for public
purposes only. We all favor freedom
Of commerce and therefore favor
genuine reciprocity with foreign ma
tons but are all opposed to sham Re
publican reciprocity, which is only an
other name for Republican hypocrisy.
There is no division in sentiment in
our opposition to corporate combina-
tons of capital, which create monopo-
lies, stihe competition and unreasonab-
ly enhance prices for the necessaries of
life.

1--WE all stand for free trade in all ar
ticles controlled by the trusts. We all
desire assistance for Cuba and justice
to the consumers of the United States
I also. We all stand where Jackson
Benton and Tilden stood-in favor of
hard money, rs opposed to an irredeem-
able paper currency. We all recognize
the dignity of labor and its right to de-
mand just and adequate compensation.
I'VE are opposed to an immense
standing army in times of peace. We
are all in favor of the constitutional re-
form involved in the election of United
States senator's by the people of the
several states, rather than by state leg
islatures. We all adhere to that doc
trine declared by Jefferson as follows:
Peace, commerce and honest friendship
with all nations; entangling alliances
with the none.
With this substantial unity which
exists upon these and other fundamen-
tai principles of Democratic faith, to
which | need not refer, we may safely

unreasonable questions. Let us not
