TARIFF AND TRUSTS.
Democrats Have Selected Their
Battle Cry for 1904.

New York, Jan. 18.-The Herald says:
Demands for lower tariff and national
supervision Of corporations are to be
the paramount plankS in the next
Democratic platform, according to
opinions expressed by several members
of the Democratic national committee
who are in New York city. and who
have been comforting here with men
influential in the councils of the party.
These committeeman say that Will
lam Jennings Bryan will exercise a
dominating influence in the convention,
which meets in st. Louis on July 6.
He May even be in position to con-
troll the committee on platform, but
those who have talked with him say
he will not insist upon the incorpora
ton of the free silver plank provided
the party leaders do not force him to
accept as a presidential candidate q
man who voted against him either in
1885 or in 1900.
This, according to those who profess
to know Mr.. Bryan'S intentions, would
exclude Grover Cleveland, and yet it
was commented upon as significant
that Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, whom everybody comedies
is to be one of the most influential men
in the convention, declared soon after
his return from Washington that if
Mr.. Cleveland is nominated by the con-
Vention he will assuredIy be elected.
Mr.. Bryan's friends say that he never
will accept Mr.. Cleveland as a candi-
date and if the party leaders show any
disposition to attempt to force his
nomination he and all his followers will
fight against those compromises which
are to be made by the conservative eIe-
ment of the party in order to pacify the
radicals of the west.
One of the members of the national
committee who has been discussing
and outlining platform planks and
ideas with the eastern Democrats is
Thomas Taggart, editor of the Indian
apolis Sentinel. T. Taggart said last
night at the Hoffman house:
Tariff revision and trust restriction
must go hand in hand, and both com
bined will be the great issue of the
point of view. We will undoubtedly
incorporate in the platform of 1904
some of the best features of the plat
forms of 1900 and 1896, but to say that
we shall reaffirm the platform of 1896,
in which the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 was
the dominant feature, is about as rea-
sonable to expect as that we should re-
affirm the platform of twenty years
ago.
Mr.. Bryan says he has not changed
his views, and on this point we all adj
Inire him for his consistency and his
devotion to those principles which he
IS firmly convinced are right. But Mr..
Bryan is not insisting upon silver go
ing in the platform this year. He is a
man of good judgment and will, nc
we must now have a platform to suit
the times we live in. What we want
are the live up to date issues. The
next Democratic platform will meet the
conditions of the times, and while we
will reaffirm the general principles OF

BLAIR Is DEAD.
Troubles of Late Worlds Fair Counsel
Are Over.

Eustis, Fla. Jan. 1S--James L. Blair
of St. Louis. Mo. is dead
Mr. Blair came here about five weeks
ago in search of health. and it was
thought that he was improving, until
last week. when his condition changed
alarmingly for the worse, and the physi-
clans advised that his wife be tele-
graphed for. She and her son. Percy
Blair, arrived a short time before his
death.
Mr.. Blair, just before coming to Eus-
tbs, held the position of general counsel
for the st. Louis exposition, and Mrs.
Blair that OF president of the board of
lady managers, which positions were
resigned owing to charges of official
misconduct of the deceased. Mr. Blair
had sustained a severe injury to his
ankle before he came here, and this
with his mental condition. is believed to
have fastened his death The cause OF
death in the physicians certificate is
cerebal congestion. The body was en-
balmed and forwarded to st. Louis, ac-
| companied by Mrs. Blair and son.

dicted here by those who are familiar
with the presidents attitude in such
matters that there will be some trouble
for Mr.. Mackey If the offense is
brought to the notice of Mr.. Roosevelt.
If there is one offense that the presi-
dent will not condone more than an
other in a federal office holder it is
this particular brand of political activ-
ity. Whether the matter will be brought
to the attention of Mr.. Roosevelt has
not yet developed.
Representative Miller says he hopes
to attend the congressional convention
in his district called for February IS.
He will of course attend the Kansas

he hopes to attend his convention also.
Mr.. Miller has never attended a con-

first one. He has always had q desire
to be present at another one, and I'M
less some unforeseen circumstance arise
to prevent it, he will crafty his wish
