fitted about the shoulders although
for the rest they seem somewhat

very useful as we'll as smart.

SOME allec ed Demonrati,

SOME alleged Democratic pa
pers have been saying that ''the
machine" died hard at the state
Democratic convention at JEFF
ferson City. By the way we
would like for these papers to
define what they mean by ''the
machine" and tell us what par.
ticular part of it passed in it's
checks at Jefferson City. AS a
matter of fact there never was
a more harmonious gathering of
the Democracy of Missouri than
that which convened at the
state capital July 10. The only
"deaths" we have heard of con-
sisted of those fellows who un-
dertook to ride into office on
JOS. W. Folks back and failed.
Can it be that they constitute
"the machine?"

(By Publishers Press.)

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 26.-Strils-
ers returned to the cloak and clothing
factories in large numbers today and
asked for their old jobs. The whole
sale district was crowded with them.
Every manufacturing concern had
applications. The men were taken
back in most cases. Some were put to
work at an increase; others were told
to come around Monday.
The fifty men imported from New
York will be sent back by the manu-
facturers.
Nathan Meltzer, president of the
Cloakmakers Union, advised the strik-
ers to go back to work. The strikers
are going back at the terms existing
when they quit, ten days ago. The
manufacturers say they may volunta-
rily increase the wages of the men Ia
ter. Shops will remain "open." 1t
was the chief aim of the strikers to
get the union recognized.

Col. Joseph McDermott, of Morgan
town, Republican candidate for State
Senator, was in the city last evening
had been to see Senator Elkins on
business. Col. McDermott said in con-
v%ersation with a representative OF this
paper that the senior Senator was
much pleased with the political out
look in the State and Nation, and said
thai West Virginia is sure to give an
increased majority. Col. McDermott,
in speaking of the situation in his dis
trict, said tina he thought he would
get the largest majority even given in
the three counties. He has been
through Taylor, where he found every
thing in excellent shape. de has been
instrumental in organizing a young
mems marching club in his own own
which starts off with a membership OF
over a hundred young voters. The
club will be uniformed, and will have
a band. Col. McDermott said he in
tended TO bring it TO Fairmont during
the campaign.
When speaking of the situation in
Monongalia he said that it was never
in better condition, and that the Re
publican majority would not be less
thai 1000.
Although Col. McDermott's election
is a certainty. he Intends to make an
active campaign, and do everything in
his power to increase the majorities
all along the line.

The Democratic candidate for Vice

in the formulation of its doctrines.

principles" is sane, safe n sound'

Does Mr.. Davis believe h a is a

does, what did he mean when he de

portant speech as a United States Sen
ator? 1t will he found OF page 17GT

sarded from the foundation of the gov
ernment: it ought to be SO now"
: How can it be so regarded now, if

DEMOCRATS "a oDDs


It is dailyssgrowing n nor
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES party
has not been made a unit8by the ncnni-
nation of Parker and Davis. Mutter-
lings of discomfort and disapprovai
were heard just after the St Ions
convention, and these have become
more and more marked as the weeks
have passed. Bryan has given but a
ha~lf-hearted approval of anything Far
| ker has said and done, and did not re-
frain from making an ~open~attack on
several portions of the speech OF &C
ceptance. It is more than likely that
before the campaign is much further
advanced Bryan will be outspoken in
his opposition to Parker. Tom Wat
son. nominee of the P~opulists, is a far
better representative of the views OF
BRYAN than is Parker, and the accept
ance speech mad last week by Wat
son in New DIRK gave full indcrse-
ment to the Bryan-made platform OF
the Democratic convention of 1886 and
1900. Bryan has already spoken wei!
of Watson, and it would surprise no
one to see him on the stump for the
HCDulISl- hol ShAA1 -A@'
considerable following vas clearly
shown at ST. Louis, and it would re-
quire no great effort on his part to
lead many of his admirers into the
Populist camp.
Soon after Parker's nomination Will
liam R. Hearst, who had himself been
a candidate before the st. Louis con-
yention, sent word to the Judge that
the Hearst papers in New York.. Bos-
ton, Chicago and San Francisco would
all support him. This these ape
have not done. They are not support
ing anybody at the present time, but
when Watson made his speech they
not only published it in full, but said
some f%1attering words about the Pop1-
list. Affairs have now taken a new
turn by the announcement that Hearst
is a candidate for the Democratic nom
nation for governor of New York, and
will be supported by the Bryan e1e-
ment in that State. The political rela-
tons between Bryan and Hearst have
always been OF a close nature, and
Hearst was Bryan's preference for the
Presidential nomination when he saw
he could not get the place himself. =.
No doubt Judge Parker has hopes
that he will be able to reconcile the
warning elements in his party. and
aimed at this in his acceptance speech
when he was very careful from giving
expression to radical views on any
topic. This did not suit the Bryan
ties. nor did it enthuse those Demo-
Gratis who count themselves as hold
ing views both safe and sane. These
differences will be certain I 0 make
themselves apparent all through the
campaign, and their influence will be
seen when it comes to the casting of
the ba11ots.-Baltimore American.
