To such democrats as Tillman, of
South Carolina, Carmack, of Tennessee,
Dubois, OF Idaho. Patterson. of Colo
rado and even to German, the demo-
cratic leader in the senate, that sounds
very much like the echo of Roosevelt
or Lodge. or Secretary Taft, or Gener-
al Otis, and as an effort to get into
the same position as the republicans
on the Philippine question. In the SEN
ate and house and on the stump. the
democrats have been bowling against
Imperialism and demanding pledge
of immediate independence for the
Filipinos.
Straddle Is Apparent.
In their last platform they changed
the phraseology so as to demand an
immediate promise of independence at
some time in the future, not prom
Use of immediate independence, as they
had in their Kansas City platform. But
Judge Parker dropped the indepen-
dence for self government; and ii
leaves the men who have been shout
ing "imperialist' at the republicans in
an embarrassing position. Tillman and
Carmack do not like that kind of echo
as an answer TO the republicans.
They can no longer denounce the
crime of '73, nor the crime of imperial
ism, and they do not care to shout for
free trade with cotton mills springing
up in their states to rival Massachus-
etts and Connecticut, and these mills
demanding protection. There seems to
be no subject for the peculiar oratory

Lack of Harmony Among the
Democratic Leaders Causes
Grief For the Chairman
BRYAN AND GOLD MEN AT OUTS
Silver Men Are Not Accepting the Sit
uation With Good Grace, While the
Old Line Faction Is Accused Of De-
sire to Grub It I'M For the Defeated
eryanites.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Chairman
Taggart of the democratic national
committee is having his troubles DEM
onstrating that the harmony in his par
ty is the real thing and has staying
qualities. Mr.. Taggalt is pleased to see
the gold democrats coming back into
the fold and it would be just as satisfac-
tory and not SO irritating to the silver
wing If they would be a little more
modest in their proGigal son act. 1t
would seem that every god democrat
who has decided to return to the party
has written to the New York World and
given his reason for that act, and these
reasons are not complimentary to Mr..
Bryan. They are Boosting that Bryan
has been repudiated and the party
made reputable again, so that they can
affiliate with it. The World Is parad-
ing these letters and parading their
authors as the real democrats and the
American is quoting from Tom Wat
sons address in Cooper Union last
week when he was notified of his nom
nation for president. by the populists.
Gold Democrats Aid TO Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taggart hoped to have harmony
between the Bryan and gold men after
the convention and until after election.
But the friends of Judge Parker who
clam to have influenced him to send
his famous telegram to St. Louis, viii
not play the part of meek and penitent
prod igaIs, and the Eryan followers re-
seEt their action. Mr.. Taggart fears
that the gold men are aiding the pop
uiists more than they are the demo-
Gratis by their Boosting.
The southern democrats. as a rule,
are ready to support Judge Parker.
They would vote fer any man calling
himself a democrat. but they resent the
attitude of the gold democrats.
And John Sharp Williams. OF Mis-
sissippi, the democratic leader in the
house, says that 1t is not in human
nature to admit that you have been
whipped and ought to have been
whipped. Il never met an old confei-
crate soldier who would go that far.
He would admit that the war was over,
that he gets along very well in the un-
lon and under the same flag with the
Yankees. but he Will not admit that he
was whipped. and he will fight rather
than admit that he ought to have been
whipped"
! So IT Is with the, rank and file who
followed Bryan in two national CAM
paigns. shouting fer free silver. 1t rs
ard enough for them to consent TO
their leaders admission that he is for
gold. but they do not care to have his
friends In New York ask them to
come forward and take a new oath Of
allegiance to what they were taught to
regard as republican doctrine.
Embarrasses Taggart.
Judge Parker has embarrassed
Chairman Taggart on another question.
In his speech of acceptance the judge
did not once refer to the Independence
OF the Philippines. He referred to the
F'ilipinos as deserving a self govern
ment when they were prepared for it.
