the consent of Governor Douglas TO again head
the Democratic ticket. The governor yielded lar
enough to agree that if the nomination to him
without any contest in the convention, he would
accept it.
This plan was rendered abortive by Mr..
Morans refusal TO withdraw candidate, and his
stubbornness, no doubt, lost him the support OF
many Democrats, who believe Governor Douglas
would have led the party to victory next November
Still greater disafection will follow Morans
nomination by the independence League. The
Democrats OF Massachusetts claim for their party
an honorable history of lofty achievement, and they
are not yet prepared 10 it made annex to
political organization founded by mans money
and intended to promote the selfish political
btions of one of money.
Mr.. Moran's alliance with radical and
socaistic Heartstism, if nothing else, is likely to
put beyond the pale OF possibility his nomination
by the Democrats. Nor will his reputation work
any harm TO the Democracy. Mr. Moran may be
sincere and efficient public servant but he is
selfish, sef-seekng and spectacular, and that sort
of man doesn't appeal strongly to the honest
Democracy OF Massachusetts any other state

There are two New York Life tickets
hinging on the issue whether or not

Mutual Life there are three tickets.
The administration ticket means the
retention of tho old set OF McCurdy
directors. The international commit
tee ticket contemplates an entire
change OF management. The third or
agents ticket involves the looping on

his election will be an mpossibility. The question
