Shiny he will not be alone in his miasmic asylum
The inference is of course that the heavyweights Of
the Cleveland faction viii join him. Considering the
elephantne proportion of Growers last cabinet and
the pachydermatous girt Of Clevelands Wall street
friends, the jungle is the best place for the whole
outfit. But unless in their disgust they wish to be
fossilized before their tme the political and fnan-
cal mastadons had better be cautious not to do too
much trumpeting least the Hearst and Bryan bush.
men tom-tom them into the open and drive the
whole herd into pitfalls of political oblivion out of
which there is no foundering,
It looks as if these fractional fights of the demoe
racy would continue no matter the choice of the
Jeiersonan Tilden party at the St Louis convention
for Bryan, though bod metal boomer,is good hater
and Cleveland is no slouch in the detestation bust
ness. Each has his following in about the
ratio of 16 to l. though as compared with
Bryans influence the latter figure fairly represents
the ex-presdent' 5 power over the democratic mas
ses Nevertheless this lone numeral stands for Wall
street for many of the great protected and indus
trial corporations throughout the country that are
mistrustful Of President Roosevelt's fairness tol
labor.
Can these quarreling factions of the democratic
party be harmonizedf Not unless the St Louis con.
vention frames Cleveland and Hearst up together
But the days of miracles have passed The coales-
cence of these two elements of the shattered democ
racy is about as likely as the political union of Ben
Tillman and Booker Washington running on an anti
lynch free rum platform.
