convention at Db. LOUIS Is 70 Do
stampeded for Grover Cleveland and
that the Parker boom was started
simply TO shield the real purpose Of
the reorganizers Of the democratic
party. This suggests to some peo-
pie here that il would be q good
idea now to interview Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Hill ard others who
have been prominent in this reor-
ganizer movement, and ask them to
come out and explain their respec-
tive positions on the question OF
boiling should Mr. Hearst or some
one else be nominated who is not
exactly suited to them and their
particular brand of democracy.
There is really more reason why
these men should explain their atti-
tude in this matter than should
Mr.. Hearst. There was no reason
to suspect Mr.. Hearst as a bolter,
because he never has bolted ticket
| In his life. The only basis of reason
ing what man will do in the future
| is by what he has done in the past
| Mr.. Hearst has never bolted in the
past and he says he will not in the
future. All the men prominent in
the reorganizer movement haye been
boilers for the past two presidential
campaigns. viii they be boilers
! in this, in case they do not control
/ the convention and nominate the
man of their choice2 IL is a peril
nent question aud ii is up to them
toanswer. They should be as frank
as Mr.. Hearst and give the demo
cracy OF the nation TO understand
their attitude on this most impor-
tantquestion. The people wouldlike
from them.
The Democratic Congressional
| Campaign Committee has been orga
lnized, with the exception Of the APP
pointment Of the Executive and FL
nance committees, and probably will
begin TO get busy within the next
few days. The democrats will enter
this campaign for the next House OF
Representatives with every encour-
agement in the belief that they will
be successful. Several things are
working together that make demo
Gratis more hopeful Of victory than
they have been since 1882. In the
i FIRST place the democrats have been
singularly fortunate in their choice
OF chairman Of the committee this
year. AS soon as IL became known
that the Hon. James NJ Griggs, Of
Georgia, chairman Of the committee
two years ago and than whom there
never was a better one, would not
again serve his party on account Of
sickness IN his family. the name OF
only one man In the House was dis
cussed in connection with the posi-.
ton and that was the Hon. Willinm
s. Cowherd, Of Missouri. Mr.. Cow
herd was elected unanimously and a
better choice could not have been
made. Mr.. Cowherd is q young
man, forty.three years old, and has
served in four successive Congress
es, the Fifty-iifth, Fifty-sixth, Fifty
seventh and Fifty-eighth. He Is a
modest man, button the occasion Of
his very first speech on the floor Of
the House he was marked by all the
old timers as one Of the coming
young men OF the House. His
speeches are not marked by flights
OF flowery rhetoric, but they abound
In lucidity OF expression, simple
language, cogent reasoning, an I'M
answerahle argument based on the
facts and stated SO clearly that a
child can understand them. IL liz
not his eloqaence that makes him a
remarkable figure on the floor Of the
House, but his clear insight into
things and the motives Of men and
his ability to explain them; He Is
one OF the best debaters in the House
and many a republican opponenthas
gone away limping when they cross
ed swords with him in debate, He
is member Of two OF the most inn
portant committees in the House,
those OF Post Office and Post Roads
and the District OF Columbia. Heis
an interchangeable worker and his
speech In the last session no the
frauds in the Post Office Department
was one Of the finest things listened
TO during the session. II will be
used as a campaign document. Mr..
Cowherd is o splendid organizer
He organized victory for himself In
district that had been in the habit
of going republican and his majori-
ties have been growing larger ever
since he first came to Congress.
Mr.. Cowherd, therefore, under
stands the needs OF a democratic
candidate In the northern districts
| and his advice and suggestions TO
them will be invaluable during the
campaign. Look out for Mr.. Cow
herd as one Of the coming young
democrats OF the country,

| One OF the interesting things con
corning the great Worlds Fair at
St, Louis, learned from the Eastern
Press Bureau here in Washington,
is that with nearly two miles of at
fractions and forty-four distinct
shows, IL will cost less thanaS20 70
90 down the World S Fair Pike.
The general admission to any
show on the Pike will not be more
than 30 cents. while the yastmaiority
OF them will cost only rs cents to
enter the main gates.
A few will charge only 4 general
