DAVID B. HILLS SPEECH.

T HE MANHATTAN clubs reception
in New York on Saturday night
was a notable affair in more than one
respect. 1t included leaders of the
party from all over the country; it
brought forth expressions Of opinion
as to the future policy of the party
from men who keep very close to the
public in political affairs, and it heard
David b. Hill outline what will prob
ably be the plan of campaign for the
approaching congressional elections.
Briefly stated, Mr.. Hill would have
the national Democracy make its fight
on tariff, dangerous corporate combina-
tons and Imperialism as issues, wl'h
an academic declaration "in favor Of
the general principles of bimetalhsm'
as a common ground on which all
Democrats could stand. While the full
text of Mr.. HuIs speech was not sent
out, its essential points will find strong
support from the party at large, The
most radical, irreconcilable friend of
free silver must realize that cam
palgn chiefly on the money plank of
the Kansas City platform would be
lost in advance. Such n campaign
would be based on the theory that no
party must ever change its position
or abandon old tenets Of faith, no
matter what the change in economic
conditions, and no matter what the
rank and file of the party demand. II
4 were possible to poll an expression
os the Democratic voters Of the whole
country on the questions of the day,
the question of silver coinage at 16
to 1 could not hope to secure the sup
port OF even a respectable minority Of
the paPty's strength as live issue. The
eastern Democracy, particularly, has
determined that an Issue which has
been fairly tried in two national cleo
tiOns has no place in a campaign this
year. A realization of this fact has
necessarily turned the leaders to other
issues, and Mr.. Hill probably voices the
common sentiment Of the party in the
east and south when he declares for
tariff reform and a return to first prin-
ciples in government as his creed.
Whether the west will accept the Hill
platform as final remains to be seen.
Here in Utah, the party sentiment has
had no definite opportunity of express
sion that could be regarded seriously
since the last state campaign 1t is
probable, however, that the first OPP
portunity for such an expression viii
find the Titan Democracy determined to
put forth a platform reiterating its be-
lief in free coinage, but making i'm
perialism and Republican malsdmin-
istration it's chief planks, reinforced by
local issues Of the first importance.
In the general congressional election
il is probable that the dissatisfied in
dependent vote, together with a re-
united Democratic party, viii be able
to make serious inroads on the Repub-
hcan majority in the house. And if
such a result follows from the cleo
ton. it viii give the national Democ-
racy an impetus that ought to lead to
greater successes in the next presi-
Dental year.

FIGHTING IN THE SENATE.

NOT SINCE Senator J. c. S.
" Blackburn Of Kentucky tweaked
the august nose Of Senator William Z.
chandler of New Hampshire have the
traditions of what has been called the
most conservative body in the world"
heen so rudely upset as they were by
the NcJaurin- THlman episode on Sat
urdav. Those who are acquainted with
the cordial hatred with which the gem
tlemen from South Carolina regard
each other. were not surprised at the
encounter. Indeed. the only astonish-
ing thing is that it didn't occur earlier.
When senators engage in a fist fight
while a session is in progress it is cal
culated TO occasion deep and lasting
chagrin among those responsible for
their presence on the floor. BY the &C
ton of her. representatives South Car
DINA must suffer disgrace. The best
way for her to clear herself win be TO
retire both McLaurin and Tillman at
the earliest possible moment. 1t is i'm
possible to fix the blame specifically
on either man for both are equally
guilty.
II may be said. and truthfully, that
NcLaurin has 70 business making the
Gat assertion that Tillman was a liar:
but it is equally true that Tillman had
no business provoking McLaurin TO
such extreme measures. And Spooner,
100, seems to have acted purposely as
a mischief maker.
These South Carolina senators have
beer altogether too -centered. They
have repeatedly disturbed national
BUSINESS in order that they might wash
their dirty linen on the floor of the
senate. People generally care very lit
tie about their differences. 7ten are
not elected to the senate in on 5er that
they may air their grievances before
