CAN DEMOCRACY VIM

A lot of enthusiasm was dis
played by the convention which
dominated Judge Parker for
president, and many claims are
being made for his election. No (.
doubt Judge Parker was the
logical candidate to lead the
democratic hosts at this time,
yet it is as well to admit that
democracy has a hard fight
an awfully hard fight, ahead .
Of it this year.
There are 476 votes in the
electoral college, and the demo-
Gratis can count on bat 151 with
absolute certainty. These votes
come from the "solid South"
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, N n Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia,
1t is believed that Maryland
will go democratic, and West Fir-
GINA will also, owing to the per-
sonal popularity Of Senator Da-
Wis, the vice presidential nomi-
nee. The ''Solid South" Mary
.and and West Virginia foot up a
total of 1853 votes.
The eastern leaders are claim
ing New York beyond question,
and as New York goes, SO they
say, will 60 Connecticut, New
Jersey and Delaware. With
these states in the democratic
column the total amounts to only
| 227, twelve less than the number
to nominate. This needed num-
Der is not liable to come from the
Pacific coast states, it being
claimed the Philippines plank
VIII hold them republican. The
failure of the platform to declare
for free silver doubtless makes
3-Goollol ssdo, Nevada and Montana
republican.
1t is easily seen that the miss
ing twelve votes must come from
the middle west.
There is 90 hope Of carrying
| Illinois, for the democrats Of that
state are hoplessly split among
themselves.
There is Wisconsin, but there
is small hope there.
! There is Ohio, but what's the
use Of mentioning Ohio?
1t seems to be settled that the
big fight is to be made in Indiana,
and that is the reason the lead
ors want Taggart of Indiana for
national chairman.
If Parker and Davis win, it
will be after the stiffest kind Of a
fight. This will bo all acknow-
lodged fact after one begins to
figure on the situation.

CHAPTER xxvnl.

The Love Of Man for a Woman.
1t was not the fault of the chef or
OF the service that Arthur Morris did
not enjoy his dinner. Jessie's beauty.
: which once charmed him. now inspired
him with jealous rage. For Blake he
felt unalloyed hatred, and for Gen.
Garden a contempt which he did not
try to conceal. He impatiently await
ed the morrow, when he hoped to
crush James Blake to to extinguish the
general. He prayed the news Of the
councils decision might be brought to
him at dinner.
AS he brooded a messenger boy ap-
preached and handed Morris an en-
velope.
'Ah! presume this is It'll" he ex-
claimed. He adjusted his monocle
with elaborate care, broke the envel-
ope and read:
my Dear Morris: The Cosmopoli-
tan franchises were defeated by a
practically unanimous vote. Rounds
and six others charge you with bribery.
Rounds exhibited your certified check.
Am on my way to the Hoffman House.
Meet me there at once. Destroy this.
III"
Tho note fell from the speculator's
hand and futtered to the floor. He
stared wildly around, but no words
came to his lips.
ANY answer, boss?" The piping
voice of the messenger boy, as he
stood, cap In hand, recalled him to
earth.
NO" he said pushing his chair from
the table and rising unsteadily to his
feet. "I'm going. Goodnight"
'Forty-fve cents. boss" demanded
the messenger
Get out of the way, damn you!
Pay this boy, Blake!" and he rushed
for the dressing room.
Blake picked up the note and tore 1t
