New York senator emphasized the in
ability of the democratic party 20 rise
above its environments in. the admins
tration Of the government He pointed
out that. as the dominant element Of the
party is lacking in good business sense
and controlled by yagaries its admin
istratipn Of public affairs viii inevitably
partake of those characteristics
democratic president may lot himself
be a dangerous man, hut, said Senator

I party affected the profits Of every bust

speaks. for he Is a business man himself
I The American people must have very
short memories if they have forgotten
| wha disastrous plight the cOuntry was
in at the end of Mr. Clcveland's second
administration and how quickly it RAJ
lied when the party Of prosperity and
! progress came in again.
In the light OF experience and in view
OF the contrasting records Of the two
great political parties in their admin
! stration Of the government Senator
! Piatt thinks we shall need throughout
! the coming campaign to keep constantly
before the people the ofteu-proyed in
capacity of The democratic party to con-.
! duct public affairs and the menace TO
business which proceeds from its very
constitution" The suggestion Is time
ly. lest We forget that he democratic
leopard has not changed It's spots and
that the party is still as incapable Of
/ eivingthe country a successful and prog
rtssive business administration as It ever
wa; In the days Of its pas professions
ana promises.
