Mass and 10000 do Him
Reverence

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
ROME. April 11.-Pope Plus cele-
brated his first mass as St. Peters to-
day amid a vast concourse of people.
The scene was brilliant and inspiring.
The immense Basillica was crowded
with 10000 persons from all nations.
For hours before the pope appeared
the spectators arrived IN streams and
struggled for positions OF vantage.
Troops lined the piazza and kept back
the surging crowd. One feature was the
rendition of the Gregorian chant by
over one hundred youths led by Father
Perosi the head of the Sistine choir
The pope crossed the church to the
altar in the sede gestatoria amid the
reverence Of the congregation.
His holiness was pale and looked
more aged than on the occasion of his
accension to the throne.

Iammany TO Boom Cleveland.

A telegram from New York says
that Tammany Hall will send &
large number of its Influential
members to the st Louis Conven'
ton for the purpose Of trying to
secare the nomination of Cleveland
for the presidency. Mr. Murphy,
the leader Of this movement, says
that Cleveland can carry New York
state by an immense majority and
that New Jersey, in which state
Cleveland now resides, would also
give him a very large majority.
He claims that Bryan's influence is
insignificant and that it would not
be felt anywhere, except in Repub-
lean states, none Of which eau be
expected to be carried by the Dem
ocrats. !! is the plan 70 spring
Cleveland on the Convention at an
early stage of its proceedings and
to try 10 rush his nomination
through with vim and eclat. We
give this statement for what IL Is
worth. We do not believe that Mr.
Cleveland is, in any wise, a party
10 1t or even aware of it. We agree
with Mr.. Murphy that Bryan's in
fuence is confined to those west
ern states that are h~opelessly Re
publican.
The hope of the Democratic par
ty rests in its unifeation and har-
mony. If each Of the factions that
are trying to engraft special hob
bies into the platform and to pun
ish people for differing with then
leaders, would quiet down and JOIN
in an united effort to defeat Roose-
welt, it can easily be done. But il
they continue their disturbing
course it cannot be done.

Endorsing John Sharp Williams.

Many Of the county and district
conventions Of the various south
ern states are endorsing the course
of our distinguished statesman,
Hon. John Sharp Williams, as
leader ofthe democratic minority
in the lower house Of Congress and
some Of them are declaring their
preference for him as our candi-
date for the vice-presidency. Near
ly all of the meetings express a
preference for Judge Parker for
president.
There is no doubt about MI.
Williams capacity to lead the de-
mocracy in the house in it's present
situstion. Under his wise and mod
| crate course he has accomplished
the task that his predecessors have
| sigrally failed in. He has kept the
party in unbroken line and has in
fused into it renewed pluck snd
vigor. The morale of our side has
been improved and strengthened
and there has been an entire absence
IF the dissensions and chickering's
that are usual in party ranks, both
in the Senate and the House. he
has displayed wonderful tact in
| keeping his followers in happy
good humor. When in this mood
it is easy to score achievements that,
when united, NEAR a great deal to
the party. The effect of this is to
| impart confidence to the democra,
cy of the country. Both rank and
file have been made to rejoice over
his signal triumphs in debate and
his adroit manoeuverings that have
given the democrats signal advan-
tages over their foes during the
late session.
There is no doubt about the dem
ocratic party having been strength
ened by Mr., Williams leadership.
The prospect of party unitica'
ton is better now than it has been
for many years. With the excep
ton of Bryan's objectionable dis
affection there is not a break IL
our lines anywhere. 10 Mr. Will
iams' strong and tactful leadership
is more largely due this pleasant
situation than to any other cause
He is a %sagacious statesman ant
the party will lift him into higher
honors in the future.

Bourke Cochran After DaIzelI.

Bourke Cochran is not willing
to rest under the imputation cast
on him by Congressman Dalzell
of Pennsylvania, in which he charg-
ed Cochran with having received
money from the Republican Nation
al Executive Committee for hay
ing made speeches for Mckinley
in 1896. 1t will be remembered
that at the late session Of Con-
gress Cochran demanded an inves.
tigation, by a select committee OF
the house, into this charge. This
demand was denied by Speaker
| Cannon. Cochran sr1arts under
this aspersion Of his character and
intends making a good deal of
noise about it during the coming
campaign for president.
There has been much said about
McKiniey's first election. A great
deal more has been thought than
said. The investigation of the
charge against Cochran, by a com
mittee of the House invested with
the power to send for persons and
papers, as witnesses in the case,
would have opened up a broad field
Of operations by the Republican
National Committee and would
have revealed the most damnable
piece of rascality ever perpetrated
by a political party, excepting per-
haps, the case Of Hayes VS.. Tilden
in 1876, when the presidency was
stolen outright from Tllden. Mr.
Cochran believes firmly that Mr..
Mckinley was not elected in 1896
and that this Investigation would
have revealed the most stupendous
fraud that has ever been practiced
on the American people. Immense
sums Of motey we're expended to
elect Mckinley. These sums ran
away up into the millions. Every
available resource of the republi-
can machine was utilized and
strained in order to effect that re-
suit. At the time a great deal was
said about republican practices IN
Ohio and Indiana and some saga
cious democrats went SO far as to
say that the electoral votes of these
states were stolen from Bryan and
given to Mckinley. The crisis
brought Mark Hanna to the front
aud through his efficient skill IL
manipulating returns, Mckinley
was given the presidency.
Mr.. Cochran is the most power
full and effective man on the hus
tings now living. He is a master
of i~nveclive and YIELDS the Englisl
Language with the ease and force
with which Jove hurled thunder
bolts. lie is itching to get into tn

Confederate Pensioners.

An erroneous impression is
abroad among the Confederate pen
sioners of Mississippi that they
will be required to make new APP
plications this year, despite the
fact that their names are already
on the pension rolls. This is not a
fact. The recent legislature had a
large number of bills pending seek
ing to revise the pension system,
but the most meritorious measures
of this sort failad to pass. The law
as it stands at present creates a
board. of pension commissioners
composed of five ex-Confederate
Veterans who RE to pass on the
new applications now on the pen
sion rolls, and gives the boards
authority to investigate all pen.
sions heretofore passed upon and
approved, with power to erase the
names Of such persons whose cases
do not come within the provisions
of the law. An amendment was
adopted regarding pensions for
widows, and no widow will be al
lowed a pension who was not mar
