There IL much comment here -
democratic circles anent the recent
editorial in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
the paper owned and controlled BY
John B. Mclean. endorsing Hon
William Randolph Hearst and his
candidacy for the democratic ncmina-
ton for the presidency. Up to tho
present time that paper was one OF
the papers that studiously avoided the
mention Of the names Of Mr.. Heart
IN any connection, and it is one Of
the worst things any paper could do.
to any man to neglect to say anything
about Kim at al. They all were try
ing their hands at ignoring Mr.
Hearst. but the sentiment all over the
country that has manifested itself for
him and in his interest, has changed
the aspect of things here among the
leaders Of the party and among the
leading papers of the country. They
ere compelled to recognize the fact
that the great common--people of the
country are for Mr.. Hearst and there
Is no barometer watched close by the
politicians than the sentiment of the
people. Some men ara called leaders.
In reality there are no leaders here
They are followers and subsequently
go. When bell wether starts out and
calls to the flock they simply get busy
The minds of the majority of the
members of congress In both house
and Senate were in q chaotic condi-
ton concerning the democratic nomin-
alton for the presidency until the peo-
pie got busy all over the country.
They were watching for signs. Now
that they see them they are getting
busy. The editorial mentioned above
is one of the signs Of the times and
all of them have seen it and read it
Alright
Among many other complimentary
things which the Cincinnati Enquirer
says Of Mr.. Hearst in this editorial
are the following: "Mr Hearst is
unquestionably a man of mark. and
many sober minded men write him
in their book of estimation as man
Of destiny. No one Of hie years has
had q more remarkable career in this
special period Of grand Development.
In his private affairs he is 90 far
above petty personal assaults that
there need be no dwelling. on that
point. He is of the stuff that honest
people makes heroes of. Starting in
his business life with handsome in
heritanoe, he has not been drone or
a drawback in society. With every
temptation Of life Of ease and useless
ness he has not been sluggsrd, but
has multiplied his holding In enter
prises requiring ability and courage
of q high order to insure their success.
And every dollar that William-R.
Hearst has added to his fortune has
helped other people in a thousand
wsye. Nobody has ever been ground
down for his material promotion. He
has lifted men up with himself, and
has put no one below. No mans
right to be candidate for President of
the United States is better than that
Of William R. Hearst It would be
silly to talk of mis- lack OF fitness in
the face of the following he has. Men
do not reach the position he now &C.
cupies without having proved quail
ties and equipment of high order.
Success in life like his is not an acct
dent. especially since probity next to
Unborn ability. has been chief in
strument in his progress.
