No Consolation From Reforms.

Democrats not able to extract any great amount
comfort from the of the elections
in Vermont and Maine although by species of ugglery
in which Democratic enthusiasts very adept, they
claim to have figured out quasi victory in the latter
in spite of the fact that the dispatches show
thing like 80 700 plurality for the Republican ticket
In Vermont there distinct loss for the Demo-
crats but they do appear be whit disconnected
that account but it may be said to the credit of the
Democrats that they never get discouraged. The Re-

that his deliverance on that delicate subject,

But that is an idle speculation. The only thing
resembling a boom that was launched on Mon
day evening belongs Enthusiastically to Mr.. Cleve-
land.
Having alluded 10 two circumstances which
appreciably detracted from the enjoyment OF
the occasion, It is proper to mention two Incl
dents which greatly enhanced the pleasure Of
the company. One Of these was the heartfelt
and opportune tribute bestowed upon the Hon
Charles F. Murphy by the Hon. David B. HILL
and we doubt If II would be possible to find in
the whole range Of eulogistic oratory more
sincere. disinterested and appropriate ascrp-
ton of praise. 1t is wonder that Mr.. - by,
as he gaZed upon the ingenious countenance
and listened 10 the affectionate words Of his
faithful and trusted friend was profoundly af-
fected. The other peculiarly suspicious feature
OF the evening was the reading by Mr.. De Ar
mond of wireless telegram sent by Mr.. Bryan
from a ship which does not happen TO be
equipped with apparatus heretofore deemed es-
sential TO the transmission OF such messages.
Mr.. Bryan's greeting, with its timely reminder
of the millions Of Democrats IN the West who
considered him the real thing only three short
years ago is highly interesting in itself. but far
more so is the reflection that the feat Of send
ing it transcends the widest dreams Of Marconi.

THAT DINNER.

Though some solemn considerations were pre-
serted to the mind OF Mayor Mcclellan at the
dinner given n his honor on Monday evening,
nothing occurred 10 depress him unduly, and
he is entitled 10 feel that he has received
handsome send-off from bis party Neverthe-
less, IL is not ungracious to say that the inter
estng young statesman who was nominally the
centre OF attraction occupied q smaller place in
the thoughts OF the company than one, and pos
sibly two, OF the absences. The positive an
nouncement that Judge Parker would be pres

produce conviction, the fact having been widely
noted that Judge Parker is an exceedingly
EAry man IN these days and strongly disin-
clined TO acknowledge the validity OF subpOenas
issued by politicians ana dinner committees
IL is probable, therefore, that his absence while
Il caused regret. did not cause general surprise
and disappointment

Democrat whose name has been mentioned
once or twice in connection with coming events.
the situation was different Mr.. Cleveland like

the influence OF unforeseen contingencies is Of

aware that the brokers who love to gamble on

desired. but It is rather strange IL they have
overlooked that enticing basis for wager. In
this instance, however the ex-Presideut's IN.

been so assiduousy advertised and left so long

guests who had inadvertently neglected TO COR

no reason 70 believe that he had succeeded in

been their sorrow when they learned that n

THE PRESIDENTS CRITICS

It does seem pity that they are 50 incon-
solably unhappy. A new year has Just begun
amid universal peace ana prosperity, and nil
men of good will are wishing for each other
all possible Joy. But the Presidents critics. as
q class apart, small and select, remain robed
in gloom. profound and unbelievable They
took some time ago n contract for cOnvicting
the President Of high crimes and misdemeanors
and for converting the whole human race to
their views. But the more they try to do It
the more they don't do it, Their every effort to
convict the President only the more fully vim
dicates him. The more they preach and the
shriller their voices become the more the Presi-
dent doesn't agree with them. the more the
country doesn't agree with them. and the more
the world doesn't agree with them. Wherefore
they cry aloud and throw dust into the cir and
refuse 10 be comforted.
Their sorrow began when Secretary Hay, i'm
mediately after the Panaman revolution, issued
his logical and convincing statement concern
ing the policy of the United States. and they set
I'D a ciamor for further information which
should alleviate their woe. Then came As
sistant Secretary Looms's frank and straight
forward speech in this city, giving them the
very information they wanted, or professed to
want. But at that their gloom grew still more
deeply, darkly, desperately blue" They made
appeal Tor some authoritative utterance from
the President himself. and served notice upon
ali whom it might concern that they would not
be happy until they got it. Well, now they
have got It. If not too undgnifed for so grave
a Subject, should say they have got it
squarely between the eyes; and still they are
not happy. On the contrary, they are more mis-
cradle than ever.
They have it is true. made some efforts OF
their own 10 secure surcease of sorrow. A few
gentlemen in Congress- in both houses, thought
they could do so by organizing a great Con-
gressional and popular campaign against the
President, against his policy in Panama and
against the canal treaty with the latter repub-
lie. Even SO shrewd leader as Senator Cor
man seemed for moment to be deluded into
the notion that such a thing could be done
