THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION

Our Democratic friends will proceed
today to wrestle for a candidate fof
President. They affect pity for the
Republicans that as the solemn roll
of States was called in the Chicago
convention there was but one response;
that the Republicans of every State
should center upon one name as their
d.oice for Chief Magistrate. 1t is
clear that it will not be Tat way at
st. Louis. There aIe too many states
man in that party for any such tame
proceeding; there aIe too many plincl-
pies in that party; there are too many
grievances to recall for n one man to
fill all their desires. That is. of course,
until the nomination is finally made.
Then the cohensive attraction of the
plumber that awaits them If they win
will cause them all TO make it unani-
lambs that will be shorn, will all lie
own together, and the nope of a great
success will lead them.
What klckers they have always been.
From the beginning the county y. 10
near them tell 1t. a always been on
the verge of iuin when they have
been put of power. For themselves
they do not effect to care so much.
but their anxiety has been for the
crushed and oppressed DOC of the
land. True, when they seek to ex-
plain what they have done for the

length and breadth, but what they
have promised, why that, If published,
would fill a good sized library.
But when they meet today and the
circus begins. the VOL Ids Fair. great
as it is. will not be in it as a
retained and added to it the Midway
cabinet of c~uriosities. They will tell
how their party acquired Louisiana
and California, but will deplore any
colonial additions. They will denounoe
the Republican tariff. but viii keep
quiet about the Wilson bill.
When it comes to the prosperity OF
the country they will all turn Chris
tian Scientists and swear that there is
no real prosperity. that the claim for
it is but an illusion of unregenerate
brains n that the malady should
have both present n absent treat
ment.
They will denounce the trusts, but
keep still about the way the trusts were
treated between the Attn of March. 1898
and the 4th of March. 1897.
The anxiety to denounce the Nation
nothing to ~jeopardize their campaign
friends, will worry them beyond all
estimation. The denunciation Of Pres
ident Roosevelt of course will be loud
and furious.
Once In San Francisco, the ponce,
house a big Chinese gambling game
was in progress. burst in the door and
entered. Seven or eight Cinnamon were
sitting around a table. which was COW
cred with red. white n bue chips.
Instantly every Chinaman's head was
bent forward and every han was
manipulating the chips A policeman

but what are you doing with
these?" asked the officer pointing t,
the chips.
You sabee. we allie same count en-

1t will be the same wav at ST. Louis
1t will sound to outsiders like a row
but If questioned every delegate viii
swear 1t was but a praise Sc. vice owe
the nomination of a man who is t.

joke viii be that next morning ever,
delegate will proclaim hat the yer,
strongest candidate in the party wa
nominted and that he will sweep tn
cofnfry.
