HEARST WILL NOT BOLT

WASHINGTON. May 14-William Ran
dolph Hearst will support the nominee OF
the st. Louis Democratic convention, who
ever he may be. He to-day authorized the
Washington Post TO make this statement
unequivocally He ridiculed a story sent
from Albany that he and Mr.. Bryan, Ar
thur Brisbane Weaver of Iowa and others
were planning a huge bolt and the forma-
ton of new party He said he had been
making his fight for the nomination in the
name of progressive Democracy, but his
fight had been within party lines and would
continue to be so. Whatever the result he
intended, personally and through his news
papers. to support the regular ticket. sa,d
Mr.. Hearst to the Post
Having uttered that plain-spoken sentl-
ment, he added, with smile: Il should, or
course, like any other man, be honored and
gratified should the Democrats see fit TO
nominate me. But l do not have to be
bribed by office to be Democrat. have
supported the Democratic ticket in the
last five campaigns. L supported Cleve-
land three times and Bryan twice. L intend
TO support the nominee of the party at st.
Louis, whoever he may be. have not
been able to deny all the foolish things
that have been said about me. / have not
even kept up with all that has been said.
But of all the fool things that story that
/ am going 10 bolt is fOoler than all the
the nomination in the name of progressive
Democracy. / have been making my fight
within party lines"
An inquiry was made about the signiti-
canoe of the several contesting Hearst del
egatonS over the country.
Every state convention of both parties
has contesting delegations said Mr..
Hearst. Contests do not mean that bolt
ing will follow. In certain cases contests
have been instituted by my friends, in
entire sincerity on their part, which
would not have sanctioned had the matter
come TO my knowledge in time. But these
contests can be settled in the usual way,
as they are settled in every national con-
veTftion. Please make it plain that L stand
by the verdict of loyal Democrats. men
who have been loyal TO the party and have
not been Democrats at pleasure. l am for
men who have been Democratic consist
emily for twenty years"
But suppose the class you suggest as
disloyal should tie in control at ST. Louis %
Il think there is no danger of that" was
the answer.
He expressed the belief that loyal Demo-
Gratis would be in control at st. Louis, and
reiterated his intention TO support the
nominee of that convention.

nave little sons, l know how she loves
you. Your father was a brave man
ana q good soldier. saw your brother
taken off the field after a brave fight"
NO prince was prouder than this
small colder of Virginia as he received
this message for his mother.
Mrs. Grant standing by her carriage,
listening TO her husband, laid her hand
on Jacks arm and said kindly:
Gu look fit to drop, child. You are
so tired and excited-and see, dear,
the boy is fainting! Put him il the
carriage quickly!"
Jack fell into her arms-the general
lifting him into the carriage beside his
wife who held him tenderly, and cover
cd him with her rich robe.
MI. San rushed to the general, and
begged to take the boy; for, you see,
Sir, beg your pardon, sir, his mother
trusted him to me! 1 must give him
back safe!"
You shall; go on to the city; I'll
see That you have him at the barracks;
all right"
Officers and orderlies rode beside the
carriage, but Mrs. Grant refused assis-
lance, lettirg the brown head lie on
her shoulder, and taking off her gloves
she pressed her hands over his little
white face as she said to her husband:
I can't take him to camp now; he
must eat some dinner, and get strong
err; the child is exhausted, utterly"
I'VE must see him safely With his
mother. She has borne quite enough.
The lad has had a long exciting day."
added the general.
When Jack opened his eyes and felt
the soft touch on his face, heard low.
sweet voices, saw the face of his gen.
eral, and the kind, gentle Cman like
his w mother, holding him against
her shoulder, he asked slowly, am I
in heaVen?"
Have you eaten anything today?"
asked Mrs. Grant.
oh, mo- forgot-it was $3.50
lovely. Mother put it in my pocket
seq"
Out came the luncheon from the for
gotten place.
Jack sat up and told his story OF
father, brother, mother and this Won
derful day; of his cabin home in the
hills, and he added, Il am so glad
I've seen my fathers general and his
wife! and l love you SOL"
Jack never ate such a dinner. Not
with the servants, but beside the sweet
mother who remembered her little
sons-and this other mother, who had
given so much.
Can I not speak with Mrs. Grant?'
the mar stood on the steps of the
Grant home; his horse was tied a block
away. The servant took Mrs. Grant
the message, and was admitted at once
Madame, l beg pardon for this in
trusion, but the soldiers at the bar
racks tell me that you brought a little
boy home from Arlington today, anG
that he comes from Virginia-and hi
might-know my people. I waited fol-
him, as he was expected back, but

Had not these children splendid
memories of their father marching
away with General Grant? Had they
not seen Sheridan on his black horse
with the dashing cavalry so past their
very door? And now-now-Jack was
to join the multitudes in doing them
honor. IL the pocket of his neatly
nended Jacket was the little note. 1t
read:
My dear General Grant, take the
liberty Of sending o his message
by my only son., who goes to lay flowers
on the tomb of the unknown soldiers.
Il gave all ! had. 1t is my longing
desire to have my boy meet face to
face General Grant, his father's gener-
al. My husband and son loved him and
died under his command. God bless
their beloved general. MARY MOORE.
Twenty-one guns were fired as Jack
and 'Mr, Sam made their way toward
the platform.
How beautiful the soft grass. the
singing birds, the flags and banners
and music. Flowers were carried
about in huge baskets, bands played
solemn, sweet airs, like tender songs
from the deep hearts of the people.
Tears were on many a brown cheek,
and old men wept like boys, as officers
and soldiers grasped hands, beside the
dead. The orphan children marched
round the gray tomb piling UP their
offerings, to the strains of a slow, sad
dirge. Jack aid his flowers with the
rest and said to Mr.. Sam" ooh, If
my mother could see this! She would
MT cry so much; it's 50 beautiful here
A blue-coated officer whispered to
General Grant, after the addresses.
Jack was lifted to the platform, as the
general quickly turned, and in his
grave, quiet read the tiny,
crunDled note.
Keep the lad near-till I come
down. he said to the officer.
Tlowers We're heaped upon the
graves: little children planted flags and
plants; the sun went down over the
great, silent city of the soldier dead.
The trees waved, the tramping of many
feet grew farther off ard abe music
died away, as thousands of reverent
people said each to the other; How
perfect it has been!"
Carriages rolled down the broad,
smooth roads OF Arlington. General
Grant and his wife waited to speak
with Jack. The little lad looked so
manly and eager in his clean mended
Jacket, his small cap in his hand, while
he looked INTO their facec with big,
brown eyes.
How are you my boy? I am glad to
see you.' the general said, as he shook
hands warmly. Tel your mother /
