NO NEED OF a FIGHT.s +

The Chattanooga News predicts that
the big fight at the St. Louis Conven-
ton will come over the plat
form, but we see no reason for
much difference Of opinion except as
to minor details, which should be cas-
lily settled. we think st quite prob
able that Mr.. Bryan will be present
with a demand for the resurrection OF
the moribund Kansas City platform,
but we take it that there will not be
enough delegates of his way of think
ing to cause serious disagreement. In
fact. any delegate who tries to obtain
consideration of such q thoroughly dead
issue should be ignored so emphatically
that he will be glad to get under COW
err. Be he Bryan or any one else he
will not deserve consideration.
II we have properly read the signs
Of the times. and If we have correctly
gagged the sentiment of Democrats,
they are not going to st. Louis to
tight over the past, to demand impos-
sibilfties or to salvanize corpses. There
are some things too dead to skin, and
free coinage is one of them, and II we
are not badly mistaken there will be
little difference of opinion on that
question. We believe the Democrats
will get together with pretty we'll de-
hned ideas OF what should go in the
platform and what should be left out
ot it. That there will be differences
of opinion as to details and forms of
expression is more than probable. but
there ought not to be such vital diff
'eIences among Democrats as to cause
serious friction. They ought to go
here determined to ignore dead issues
and to emphasize vital ones. Platform
making Is important, we admit. and
We want good live one to which all
lectioas and factions win subscribe.

Certain Democrats who are pleased
70 style themselves regulars" never
tire Of preaching to the "bolters" about
modesty and quietude in party coun-
sAis. but we agree with "savoyardS
tliat 1T is time for the leaders who
put the Democratic Party in the hole In
1896 and 1900 to cultivate a little mod
Ety5-get on the back seat" That ex-
presses It correctly. Those who chain
ed Democracy to Bryan and Organism
no sent it down to defeat should have
tI.F deceney to see that they are not
Fsft leaders, and refrain from attempt
ing to dictate.

WHICH DID HE MEANT

Mr.. Hearst recently gave out a state
ment in which he said: II expect now,
as fully as ever have expected, that
II will be the nominee of the Conven-
tion." But two meanings can be given
to that expression, and neither is at
all creditable to the speaker. If he
really believes that he will be nomi-
mated we shall be forced to doubt his
common sense. II he believed 1t when
his candidacy had some appearances Of
success 1t was an evidence of optimism
not very creditable to his Judgment
but IL he still believes It. after al the
evidences that his boom is worse than
bursted, we lose what little good opin-
ION we once had of his common sense.
All over the country State Conventions
are being held ana in almost every one
there is manifested a decided disincli-
nation to further his ambitious long
ings Where the conventions do not
positively instruct for another they
make IL plain that they are not for
Hearst. Even with ALI his inordinate
self -conceit he ought to be able to see
that his chances are hopeless.
But there is another construction to
b. put on his language, and 1t is one
that is even less creditable to him.
One might reasonably infer from the
words used that he never had any ex-
of obtaining the nomination,
and that he only went into It for the
purpose Of exploiting and advertising
himself and his newspapers. II this Is
true he has been guilty OF playing a
very discreditable game on those who
have been supporting him in good faith.
For those whose support was bought
and, paid for no sympathy can. be felt.
but there were those who were consci-
sntious in their advocacy Of his claims,
and who really believed that he had a
chance to succeed. II he beguiled such
men into supporting him while he
thought that he stood no chance, he
has let himself down still lower. In
either view of his statement there is
little credit TO him.

1t is the story Of how KS&,;stress
skirt maker, was made the
of a New York mansion. Asf&l
weeks ago she toiled ten hours a day
for 81 week. Now she is Mrs.
Francis Talcott, next door neighbor
to the Vanderbilts and the Whitneys.
The man she married is mighty
good young American.
Frank Talcott's father is multi
millionaire who made his money by
manufacturing hosiery and knit
goods. He has several large mills at
New Britain, Conn. Frank decided
to learn the business and after gradu-
ating at college began at the bottom
as mill hand. That was two years
ago.
Ada Briefly was the daughter of
one of the foremen in the Talcott
factory. She worked in shirt fac
tory. Her father is fine type of the
American skilled workman and it
goes without saying that she is
pretty, sensible and winsome.
1t was noted that Frank Talcott
cared nothing for society. He had
fallen in love with Brierly's daughter.
So one day recently the couple went
quietly to the study of the Congre-
gational minister and were married.

There's no danger of the dry rot of

snobbery--while your like lives.
The mother and the girls, it is un-
dcrstood, do not reconcile themselves
so easily. Talcott's daughter had
elaborate weddings and married in
swelldom.
Frank Talcott and his wife don't
care. They are happy. And the
story itself needs no stage settling
