THE DEADLY PARALLEL.

MI
Senate and his selection as Democrati
leader in that body, the newspaper
nave been talking about him, and th
Following extracts give an idea of th
way they regard him:
The Democrats have shown wisdom
in selecting so astute leader.
What minority really needs is
man whose forensic ability, courag
and devotion to principle will lead then
up to an aggressive and enlightene,
craftsmanship. Unfortunately there i
nothing in the record of Senator Cor
man to prove him capable of such lead
ership.
In losing Mr.. Vest and gaining Mr.
dorman the Democrats have made Al
exchange calculated to insure earl,
bankruptcy.
Mr.. Gorman is accredited with kill
ing the Force Bill and the Tariff Bill
For gold man Mr.. German made
The best silver speech of the campaign
OF 1896.
Everything comes to him who waits
and to none more surely than men like
Artur Pue German.
Mr.. German does not believe in a
waiting policy, he began office hunt.

rivited on it ever since.
One thing that has not happened is
any depreciation in German stock at
The Senate end of the capitol. His
democracy is the real thing.
Trust stocks hold their own remark.

In as Senator. 1t is safe to say that
with Mr.. German in charge the Demo.
Gratis will not repeat theerror of irving

The selection of Senator German AZ
Democratic leader is wise, natural and
expedient.
In selecting Senator German as their
leader the Democrats have turned a
political summersault, and we believe
busted their trOwsers.
Senator German again sits in the
body he once served as page.
Inere are many who look upon Cor
man as time server, and many men
OF as pure motives as he, have served
out their time of one year, or may be
longer.
MI. German will undoubtedly do
much to heal the breach in Democrat
ic ranks.
MT. Gorman was not so instrumental
as MI. Cleveland is disruptipg the
Democratic party, but he certainly
put no hoops on the barrel when he
saw Cleveland kicking out the slaves.
Mr.. German in accepting the Dem. |
ocratic leadership does not necessarily
become presidential possibility.
Presidents have been small men. We
10 not have to refer to ancient history
10 prove this. But history will
never be called On to strain it's veracity
