WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

The most important qnes-
tion discussed by every dem~
ocrat who comes to Wash-
ingtOn is the personality OF
the next presidential candi-
date. Or course numerous
candidates are mentioned,
and each possible candidate
hns his friends, but it is i'm
possible to secure any gpner.
al concensus OF opinion on
the subject. Many, indeed, OF
the most influential demos
Gratis regarded it as entirely
too early to select IA candi'
date, in support OF which
proposition they say that a
boon started too early inva
riably resulted in defeat in de-
feat of the candidate for
whom it is started. Judge
Parker, OF New York, Sena-
tor German and Senator
Stone OF Missouri, all have
their friends, hut there are so
many who believe that the
candidate will be a I'd ark
horse" as vet unmentioned.
With regard to the plat
form, democratic opinion is
more nearIy lined up. 1t
seems tn he the general opin
ion that a strong financial
plank will be adopted, one
urging the necessity for more
money but with no reference
to ratio. A strong but con-
seryative tariff REVISION will
also he adopted and will pro-
badly be the key.note to the
campaign, not only because
the democrats have always
stood for relief Of the consu>
mer from the exorbitant pri.
res which the republican tar~
ifi permits manufacturers to
charge, but because the Pres
ident and his official family
have yielded unreservedly to
the "stanh patters", Hanna

Speaking of the nominee

"There has never been a time
since the negro became an issue
in national politics, = says the
Charleston Is. c. News and
Courier (Dem. }, "when he could
be more dispassionately and
frankly discussed than at present.
Education does not change the
radical character of the negro.
Read he ever so readily, and speak
he ever so eloquently, at the last
he is the negro still. He cannot
get rid of his inheritance. For
some purpose he was made a
negro, and such he will remain
We do not believe he can be safely
interjected into the body of Anne

to be, and must be, considered

You can always tell a light
weight in church-their heads are
so light they can't sit still and
their knowledge" is so shallow
they can't hold it in until after
services are over and their smiles
are so awful beautifully that
they are bound to laugh the
whole time through.
The boy or girl who will mis-
behave in church is badly In need
of home training (Which they
never did get), or else they have
no respect or regard for their
parents. They would be much
better off at home washing the
dishes or chopping wood until
they learn to behave themselves.
