AT THE HOTELS.

The best thing the Democratic party
could do, In may opinion, would be 10
nominate some man from the South who
| is not Of the radical type" said ex-state
Senator George /. Morton, OF Raleigh,
at the Shoreham.
If am not greatly mistaken. the coun-
/ try would gladly welcome an administra-
/ ton a triha less extreme than the pres
ent. After a period Of storm there is
nothing more agreeable than a season Of
qTietude. Ny notion is that in Senator
| Charles A. Culberson. Of Texas, our
party would have an ideal candidate
/ Mr.. Culberson would make a President
/ that would satisfy the whole nation. He
| is able, experienced, level-headed, uncor-
! ruptible. He comes from the State that
/ eventually will lead all the rest in popu-
/ lation, wealth. and power. The Northern
Democracy would support him cheerfully.
and the whole South with enthusiasm.
"A great many of our citizens are
/ wondering why the corrupt gang Of graft
| Ing supervisors are not deposed from
| office. especially since all but two are
self-confessed boodlers," said Mr.. Thomas
/ j. Black, of San Francisco. at the Ar
/ nngton. THE man Gallagher, who is
acting mayor, is one Of this crowd, and it
| seems a disgrace that a criminal Ike
/ him should retain Office even for day.
1T was the general belief when I left
/ home that Abe Ruef. the evil genius Of
San Francisco. the chief Of all grafters
| in history. would get a light sentence.
/ and in expectation thereof the decent
| people Of the city are beginning 10 raise
/ a protest II viii create a tempest If
/ Ruef is allowed 70 go with nominal pun
| ishment. for he is looked upon as the
| essence Of all the vicious depravity that
/ has caused our town TO become a re-
proach throughout the land. The con
4 dition OF San Francisco. I say with s0r-
row. is at the present time deplorable
/ The labor situation could hardly be worse,
with thousands Of people on strike. and
public confidence well-nigh destroyed The
street cars are running IN a crippled
/ fashion, but few people are patronizing
1 them for fear they may meet with vio-
! lence'
The people Of Delaware Will have an
! opportunity of voting this fan on the im-
/ portant question Of prohibition" said
/ Representative H. r. Burton, OF that
State. at the oxford
"Our State is divided into four grand
! districts. and the citizens of each will
vote as to whether saloons shall remain
in existence or be abolished. Whining
ton constitutes a district by itself, the
/ county Of Newcastle outside that city
| another. and the other two are the cOun-
ties Of Kent and Sussex. Il might lap
pen that liquor may be voted ont Of the
counties and allowed To remain in the
city Of Wilmington. So far there does
not appear 20 be any great public inter
est aroused over the question, but fl IS a
long time until election. and our State is
so compact that if does not take a great
while for a campaign. At present it
seems as though the issue Of the election
Is very doubtful
DIT. Burton leaves this morning for VIII
mington 20 be present at the Unveiing Of
the statue o. Delaware's most famous
! son, ex-senator Thomas F. BayaTd.
"As a member of the Fiftieth Congress,
/ I occupied a seat on the Democratic side
Of the House, but in 1896 I went over 20
the Republicans and expect to stay in
that party permanently" said ex-RepIe-
sentative Charles E Hogg, Of Morgan
town. W Va. al the New Willard. Mr..
/ Hogg is one Of the sblest lawyers of his
State. and is professor Of law in the Uni
versity Of West Virginia.
Il suppose. If IL had not been for free
silver and Bryan. I would have been a
Democrat yet. but the white metal dell-
sion drove me cut The Democrats ap-
pear 20 be preparing TO nominate Col
Bryan for the third time, and viii. as
usual, go down 10 inevitable defeat Il
seems that they are sure enough BOUr-
bous. never learning anything. never for
getting anything Why haven't they the
nerve TO break away from the Bryan

and gentleman, John W. Daniel. OF Old
. Virginia"
rs West Virginia a Roosevelt State7'
s''Undoubtedly Il is. but I hope that the
President will let nothing swerve him
from his determination not 20 run again
! He is eminently deserving Of another
term on merit. but many would regard it
, as a violation OF the unwrtteu law
against a third occupancy Of the Presi-
! | Dental Office, and much antaEonism
would be aroused To again stand for
office would mar the splendid fame Of this
| extraordinary man and do very serious
harm to his place I'm history. At the same
b time should he go before the country, the
electoral vote Of our State will certainly
be IN his favor"
Instead Of trying to run the japanese
out Of California, our state needs thou
sands more of those sober and industrious
little men. said Mr.. Charles p. Braslau.
Of San Jose. Cal, at the New Willard.
I speak with an intimate knowledge Of
the matter. for the company with which
1 am associated Is the largest employer Of
Japanese labor on the Coast, the railroads
alone excepted. We cultivate every year
500 acres in the production Of garden
and flower seeds, and often have as many
as L2J0 japanese on our pay roll They
are Industrious and reliable and 80 per
cent Of them are at work by o'clock in
the morning. They exercise no detrimen-
tai influence on society. nor do they come
in competition with organized labor for
white men In California cannot be hired
to weed onion beds or pick pears and
| apriCots
Il hold they are preferable class u
the Chinese. for they spend their money
readily, wear the costume Of American
citizens. and do not take everything out
Of the country, as do the Cinnamon.
Much Of the criticism aimed at them IS
based on prejudice. and proceeds from a
class that is actuated by no worthy mo
tive"

just now beginning to do certain things in
