staunch supporters of Parker are
worried over WHAT t. 10 with Bryan
in the campaign The two statements
which he has given out since the con-

good If Bryan takes the stump, ne
will deliver himself of utterances that
will be very harmful to the remocratc
ticket. Yet he has declared his in

SO desires. the leaders do not see how
they are going to shut him off. one
of Bryau's strongest characteristics is
his fouduess to hear himself talk. and
the coming campaign will afford MIN
ample opportunity Probably he will
have his own way, speak when and
where he pleases, and disregard the
wishes of the leaders. They seem to
be more or less at his mercy
While Grover Cleveland is elated at

will take an active part in the cam

that the former president may make
one or two speeches, and aside from
that confiue himself to a series of
open letters. setting forth his views.
Cleveland has no personal end to gain
by engaging in the campaign, and
probably feels that he will have done
his duty when he makes his views

1t is expected that the actual cam
paign this year will cover just about
two months. While there will be pre-
liminary sl1irnishes in some states

pected that the campaign will open in
earnest much before the last week of
August or the first of September.

Since the democrats picked a mill
Parker's running mate, they are going
to use him to best advantage. SEN
ator Davis is to be charged with the
collection of the democratic campaign
fund; at least he will be one of the
t-sncipal collecting agents. The GEM
ocrats make bold to assert that Wall
street is going to contribute to the
democratic fund this year rather
than the republican fund. and that
Davis is just the man to go through
the street and rake in the coin. 1t is
stated that he will be among his own
when ne circulates among the tinan-
ciers. and that they will more readily
give up to him than to any other rep
resentatiye of his party. 1t is also
asserted by democrats that the finan-
ciers viii be more willing to give
funds to Davis than to Cortelyou, who
is charged with the collection of the
REPUBLICAN fund. Come to think of it.
it looks odd to see the democrats APP
pealing to Wall street and New York
business interests for campaign
money, after the way they have as
sailed those very same masters of
finance for so literally contributing
to the republican cause in the past.
