DAVIS WILL NOT DO.
Too old for the High PoaitiOn to
Which He Aspirea.


Which He Aspirea.
DR.. ]. b. McFatrich, editor Of the
Third Ward Republican, a Chicago publi-
cation says:
1T may be that former Senator Henry
| Gassaway Davis is planning to have his
money talk for him during the campaign.
1t is only on this hypothesis that his re-
ply to the notification address Of John
Sharp Williams can be satisfactorily ex-
plained The octogenarian vice presiden-
tial candidate Of the Democracy at the
White Sulphur Springs function indicat-
ed that he is sadly deficient, in so far
as present issues are concerned. He had
nothing to say upon any OF the questions
which interest the voters of both parties
A careful reading of his address fails
to disclose where he stands on any vital
issue.
The man who is popularly supposed
to carry the State of West Virginia
around in a shawl strap had not a word
TO say regarding the trusts. He omitted
an allusion to labor and capital. So far
as the speech indicates there is no such
thing as the Philippine question. He had
nothing to say about the tariff. He is
certainly old enough to have heard Of the
Monroe doctrine but not a line of this
important bit of Amercanism can be
found in his speech. For all he says
there is no such thing as the Panama
canal and the closest observer cannot
learn whether he believes in the open
door or reciprocity or any Of the things
which men discuss. And has not Uncle
Gassaway heard of the United States
navy?
For a speech which was looked for
ward TO as sort Of keynote essay, the
utterance of the old gentleman with the
barrel is a great disappointment TO the
Democrats. To the Republicans it is
merely an evidence of the fact that Mr..
Davis does not possess, at his advanced
age. the necessary mental equipment to
properly appreciate the great public Ques-
tons which must confront the next pre-
siding officer Of the Senate.
"Of course, Uncle Gassaway is a thor
oughly respectable old gentleman. lie
is also possessed Of much wealth and for
a man who has slipped over the 50 mark
is well preserved and active. But there
is a vast difference between mnding his
own personal business and attempting
at the sunset of life to take a hand in
the strenuous work of conducting the
great affairs Of a big nation. As Vice
President Henry Gassaway Davis will
not do"

1t is not often that a political leader
finds it necessary to promise his party
associates that he will keep out Of Office
and be unrepresented in the councils of

has been exemplifed by the Mephisto-
pheles of the Democratic party. David

MR.. HILLS RETIREMENT.
Il Ia Fortunate for Him, but Its Man
ner IL Not the Best.


David Bennett Hill announces that be
will at the end of his sixty-frst year re-
tire from politics. but that he will take
a part in the present campaign. The mis-
take that Mr. HILL makes is that he does
not retire now. This is one Of the things
he said in his recent opening campaign
speech at Binghamton, New York
That vast corruption exists in many de
] partments Of the Federal Government Is
/ virtually conceded II has been declared
often that more corruption has been dis
! closed during the last four years thah our
! ing the whole previous pcriod OF our ms,
| tory. Therefore il must exist, or IL coulu
/ not be disclosed. Convictions Tor IrauOs'
! however can be counted on ones fingers.
| The Republican party tends toward social,
| ism when il advocates the right TO build
| the community. What the American people
! demand is a free field and fair contest in
I the race Of life.
1t is perhaps fortunate for Mr.. Hill
that he has decided TO disappear from
politics. 1t is most unfortunate. for his
sake, that in his speech, practically open
ing the campaign on the Democratic
side. he should have been guilty Of polit-
ical falsehOod. That is not the manner
in which a good American should sing
his swan song.
All men should be fair. Mr.. Hill de-
clares that enormous corruption exists
under the present Republican administra-
tiOn, and intimates vaguely that the Re
publican party is responsible for any evil
which may have occurred. He refers
especially to frauds Of the POstotIice De-
partment. and there were some frauds.
We at least admit this. Into every
great party will necessarily be ingrafted
some thieves. What has happened in
the United States following the discOv-
cry that some officials of the POstOfice
Department were indirectly stealing?
What has happened is this:
The Republican party Furnishes its
own thieves and throws them out of its
ranks. What happened to the men who
stole under the present administration?
They are already wearing striped clothes
and doing the lOckstep in various lOcali-
ties. Could there be a better proof of
the sOundness and honesty Of the present
administration in that it Furnishes its own
sinners and. very properly, Furnishes
them to the utmost.
David Bennett Hill, in intimating that
there has been unpunished crime among
the vassals Of the party which is conduct
ing the affairs Of this government just
now, is guilty of political trickery and
political falsehOod Of the baldest kind.
1t is very earnestly to be regretted
that an exceedingly clever American
should mar the circumstances of his exit
from political life by expressions of what
are not facts. and Of sort never coun-
tenanced by the greatest leaders of great
parties. What Mr.. Hill said at Bing-
hamton cannot mar the outlook of the
Republican party one jot or title. hut it
can mar the respect which the American
people held, aside from all party lines,
for one Of the shrewdest Of politicians.
