To the Editor # tie European Edition Of the New
York Herald:
Sir. Whom shall the Democrats n0mi-
nate for President in 1903? After Bryan's
fatal break" at Madison Square Garden
last summer, he Is out Of the question
Why put Up a man to have him knocked
out, and that for the third timer Has
not the time come to put up q Southerner2
And. If so. who so st as the Herald's old
friend. Col. Henry Watterson, Of Ken
lucky?
He is still - favorite son. as was
shown by the honors recently heaped
upon him on the occasion Of his departure
for winter abroad at Louisville and
New York. when public dinners were
given him by enthusiastic followers and
admirers, regardless Of party. He was
Mr TiIdcn's closest friend, and is the last
of the Tilden school of craftsmanship.
He was the head and heart and soul Of
the revenue reform movement IN the
United States the author OF the Demo-
cratic national platforms Of 1876, 1880, 1855
and 1892. demanding "a tariff for revenue
only" and is the last Of the original free
traders He opposed the wilson bill as
a protectionist measure, and predicted the
disasters that overlook IT. In 1895 his
message. mo compromise with dishOnOr.
heartened the sound money Democrats
and gave them a shibbOleth. During re-
construction times he was the peacemakeT
between North and South, declaring the
war amendments the real treaty Of peace
Throughout the greenback craze he stood
almost alone in the South in opposing fiat
money and fighting for the nations credit
His latest pronunci8mento. Il am so old
fashioned as still 90 believe in the Con

ring over the continent
Why should not such a man be called
10 lead the Democrats, and why should
not such a Democrat have "A chance Of
election? The solid South would stand
TO him to a man. and there are million
OF more of fTee-trade Republicans IN the
West and North who would vote for him

officers. the court officials. and the bu
reaucracy, had scventy-one members in
the late parliament that were returned
by "a total vote of only 1.l69.O00 The
National Liberals had fifty members re-

END OF THE PLAY.

You have heard the leading lady doubt
the hero and his love.
You have heard her cold responses when
he swore by stars above.
Now you wait to hear her soften and de-
light the best of chaps,
But her voice is drowned by people who
are asking for their wraps.
You have seen her spurn the hero through
dozen fearful scenes.
You have seen her firt with broadcloth
and neglect the man IN jeans.
NOW you want TO see her hug him, While
he DER the villain glOats
But you only see umbrellas, feathers

That very night, after praying and fasting, attired in her most beautiful apparel, down from the mountains of Modin, through the gates of the city of Jerusalem, she bid farewell to those who lad as- sembled to see her pass, and accom- panied only by her maid, she begins her journey to the Valley of Bath ulia, there to enter into the mighty conflict to conquer Holofernes, for the deliverance of her people; and be- fore the expiration of the five days, she had returned to Jerusalem with the head of the drunken tyrant which she had severed from his body, to demonstrate that God still watched over the destinies of Israel and had delivered it once again from it's ene- mics. -.
