vided Grover Cleveland is not nomi-
mated, and provided a platform sat
isfactory to him is adopted says the
Hon. James K. Jones, the present
chairman of the Democratic commit
tee. Somebody ought to tell Mr.. Jones
that the Democratic party has reach
ed a point i'm its regenerative progress
sion that it doesn't care a cent what
Mr.. Bryan may or may not do. The
party is once more bigger than any
one man."
The Columbia Is. c. State (Dem. }
says: THE junior senator from South
Carolina. in an interview in the Green
vile News, is quoted as saying that
Mr.. John Sharp Williams would like
to be the Democratic nominee for vice
president and that he is a suitable
candidate. The Greenville News in
dorses the idea. 49," Does Senator
Latimer desire to shelve Williams with
the vice presidency? The brightest
statesman the South has produced in
this generation can more reasonably
be held in reserve--serving the
meanwhile i'm a high position--to be-
come the first southern nominee FOR
President since the war between the
sections. We are not for Williams for
vice president in 1904. but for Will
liams for President in 1908. And Mr..
Williams has expressed his apprecia-
ton of the present situation; no pre-
mature bees are buzzing in the Mis-
sissippians bonnet"
The Cleveland co. Plain Dealer
Dem) says: mo man knows or
can even give a reasonable guess as
10 the nominee of the est. LOUISE con-
vention. No man can say what plat
form will be adopted. No one man,
or faction, goes TO st. Louis with as
suranoe of obtaining a controlling in
fiuence in the proceedings. No ma
tional convention Of either party was
ever more in the hands of the indivi-
ual delegates than that which meets
next week at St. Louis. The conven-
ton at Chicago illustrated the meth
DDS of autocracy; that at ST. Louis
VIII represent the spirit OF Democracy"
The Chicago Chronicle CDemO says:
why shouldn't the st. Louis conven-
ton renounce the free silver heresy?
Twice has II brought defeat and dis
credit upon the Democratic party, and
events have convinced every rational
being that there is no decent excuse
for giving the pestilent old heresy the
benefit even Of silence"

Visitors to Chicago who beheld Gov.
Pennypacker of Pennsylvania for the
first time at the convention were I'M
pressed by his appearance in a pc
culiar way, says the Kansas City
Journal. The Governor has a slanting
nose and mustache, and whiskers ia
miliarly described as billy goats. -
which, without intent to reflect in an
uncOmplimentary way gives him a
somewhat striking cast of countenance
resembling that of the animal from
whose hirsute appendage the name of
that style of beard is appropriated.
AT the Pennsylvania headquarters a
fine Autograph portrait of the Gov
ernor adorned the front door. Up to
the door swayed a man three sheets
in the wind and carrying a light bal
last, which made his sailing unsteady.
He attempted to go in, when the door
keeper at headquarters halted him.
See here" said the guardsman,
you can't come in here"
"Why not?" asked the drunken man;
''ain't this a saloon?'
NO" was the angry retort, ''this is
no saloon. This is Pennsylvania head
quarters"

up with a tired look, while the shift
