Mcclellan and Bail u.

AS the boom of Judge Parker SET
ties steadily in the horizon of every
thing except the hopes of David B..
Hill and August Belmont. the star of
the gallant Texan, Senator Joseph w.
Bailey, arises luminous in the heav-
ems. That the conference in New
York between German of Maryland.
Guffey of Pennsylvania, the represen-
tative Of Murphy of Tammany Hall.
Smith of New Jersey, and Bailey of
Texas settled Judge Parkers fate is
reasonable.
German has finally declared his on
position TO the New York man.
Murphy has always been opposed to
David B. Hill. Guffey favors the
winner. Smith says he wants Cleve-
land, but is not obstinate.
Bailey has announced his intention
OF going home to Texas and passing
the summer quietly on the farm
while Ex-Governor Hogg and Senator
Culberson enter the turmoil of public
AFFAIRS at st. Louis. He has also
denied that he ever said he was for
Parker, which leaves a loophole for
the inference that he is for himself
for something Probably that some
thing is second place on a national
Democratic ticket headed by Mavor
Mcclellan of New York.
Senator Bailey won imperishable
fame on the occasion of his first adj
vent into Washington by announcing
that he would never mar his stalwart
American manhood nor sullv his
glorious Texan Democracy by wear
ing that emblem Of degenerate aris-
tocracy, the dress suit.
After while he had a new in
SEPARATION which directed him to a
real tailor. But, as Gladstone once
remarked, consistency is the bugbear
OF fools. So Mr.. Bailey's DETECTION
from his original stand may be re-
garded as proof of his progressive ap-
probation OF public opinion rather
than an indication of inherent weak
ness Of purpose or a mind balanced
like weather vane.
The Democratic situation devel-
oped sufficiently last week to show
that William Jennings Bryan cannot
hope to control the st. Louis con-
vention. The unit rule has worked
disastrously against him, and placed
the real power entirely in the hands
Of the conservatives.
Such a ticket as Mcclellan and
Bailey, therefore, would be sugges-
tive Of a compromise between the
conservatives and the radicaIs-the
attaining, specifically at least. of the
common Democratic ground which
Mr.. Bryan said did not exist.
Mayor McCIellan's { ADMINISTRATION
as New York's chief magistrate has
given him a reputation for indepen-
dence and sagacity His youth will
be largely counterbalanced by 4
strong sentiment that he is pre-emi-
nently a safe man.
While Senator Bailey is not a
great man, nor one whose firm con-
Victions keep him awake nights. he
Is an adaptable man AS such he will
readily place himself anywhere that
II may seem advisable for a Demo
cratic Vice Presidential candidate TO
be placed. In addition, he will pro-
vide that element Of Jeffersonian pic
turesqueness which no Democratic
ticket can afford 10 be without.

Idaho May Go to Parker.

The Idaho convention today will prob
ably follow the advice Of Senator Du-
bcis. He is against the reorganizers.
but nevertheless is said 70 look with
much favor upon the Parker boom.
There is. however. much sentiment in
the State. The proba oilities are thar the
six delegates from Idaho win go to St
Louis uninstructed.
Colorado will elect ten delegates to
the St Louis convention tomorrow.
There has been little intimation thus far
how Colorado Democrats stand on the
question Of Democratic candidates. Mr.
Hearst Is said to have a large follow
Ing. but whether he will be able 20 con-
troll the convention is another question.
II is not likely that either Senator Teller
or Senator Patterson would be willing
TO have the State committed 10 HIM.
The Colorado Democrats as a general
thing are In lire with Bryan, and Il IS
proba bic that they will select a dele
cation without instructions. There is no
probability that they will instruct for
Judge Parker. although there are some
Democrats Of prominence in the State
who are favorably disposed toward tho
New York candidate.

Scrap N Delaware.

r. Delaware the State convention will
be held at Dover tomorrow. and the
fight is Gray and anti-Gray. There is
promise Of a lively scrap over the
question Of instructing the six votes
Of the Blue Hen State for Delawart-s

anC interesting. There are three coun-
,ies In Delaware. each OF which will
send its delegation 10 the convention.
Two Of these counties have elected a
majority OF anti-Gray or Kenney dele
gates. and the -Newcastle-prac-
ucally n solid Gray delegation control
led by Representative Handy. New
castle is the largest in population, and
il is believed that on the whole the
Gray people have a small majority OF

be able TO instruct the six delegates
from Delaware 10 vote for Gray. al

THE INTERESTS OF LABOR.

Col. w. p. Hepburn: "The man
who is born in democratic family,
reared in democratic home, who
has lived in, democratic community,
with his associates democrats, re-
ceives impressions during the time
that the mind is most easily nodded
that are hard for him to obliterate.
So it is with a man that was reared
as whig, or by the man that is rear.
ed as a republican. What was 1t
that constrained you, in 1854, 1855
and 1856,to leave the old environment
Ito leave the old organization and
unite with the republican party? 1t
was simply because there was an or
ganization in the United States pro-
claiming the right of one man to own
another man; of capital to own labor.
They were intent on extending the
sway of that organization, Of carry
ing it into new states, and giving adj
nesion to a dogma of the supreme
court that the institution of slavery
could be carried into other states and
that there was no power under the
federal constitution, on the part OF
state or community, to expel 1t, save
by violence. 1t was this thought in
the mind of every man that, in a
country like this, ali! in any country,
capital ought not to own labor, ana
in this country that capital should
not own labor. That is what created
the republican party. This principle
of protection is simply the continue
ton of that idea; it is simply the pro-
duct of that idea. We secured through
much Of travail and painful expert
ence the recognition Of our idea, and
then the republican party took up the
thought of protecting labor, and said
that labor should not be owned by its
antagonist, capital. We have adhered
to that principle from that time to
this. When think of how this party
was originated, what callsd it into
being, the bedrock upon which it is
based, the policy that it has since pur.
sued in fostering and caring for the
laborer of this country, and when
remember its achievements in the
amelioration Of the condition of la
Dor, in the enhancement of the
wages, it is matter of wonderment
to me how any man who labors with
his hands can belong to any other or
ganization than that which has cared
for him so lovingly"

"A legal action has been institut-
ed in the Iowa county court against
the Amana Society, a unique organi-
cation which has been incorporated
since first the state was admitted, and
which has as its purpose the working
out of the salvation of the soul. The
petition alleges the wrongful use of
corporate power. 1t is claimed that
the Amana Society, though incorpor-
ated for religious, charitable, and be-
nevolent purposes, and not as cor
poration for pecuniary profit, has pur-
chased large quantities of land and
has engaged extensively in manufac-
turing, has built mills, factories and

means has accumulated property OF
the value of many hundreds Of thous.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Team of Ponies Dash Across Side
walk on High Avenue.

An exciting runaway episode occur
red this morning in front of the Chas.
G. Pike drug store on High avenue.
A team Of ponies belonging to Con-
stable George Andrews became fright
ened and having heard SO much about
Pike, the equines made a dash over
the sidewalk and attempted to make
entrance into the store. Messrs Pike
and Harry Sewers CHANGED to be
standing near the front of the store
and as the animals slipped on the ce-
ment walk they managed to get their
heads turned and succeeded in avert
ing the demolishing of the plate
glass front. The affair created a lot
of noise and commotion before the
team was finally righted and quieted
and a crowd of several hundred peo-
pie sprang up as if by magic.
