Quel bon pitt roi c'etait la!
La. la,

Between Elsie and de Poincilit the
chorus made quite respectable din. Few
noticed that the saloon main companion
had been opened again. until the sharp
bark OF dog joining IN the hand-clapping
turned every eye toward the stairway.
Capt Courtenay was descending. In
front ran joey, who. o cours-. imagined

to be snappy When, in obedience to a
stern command. he ceased barking, he
shook himself violently. and sent shower
Of spray over the carpet. Then he cooked
an eye at the chief steward. who repre-
sented bones and such like dainties.
Courtenay, removing his glisten.ng head
gear, advanced couple of PAGES into the
saloon. He seemed to avoid looking at
any individual, but took in all present

had exchanged very few words with him
since the first afternoon she came OF

members of the Democratic National Committee
Major Menzies. of Mount Vernon. Ind, said:
Eve seem to have everything arranged We
have the candidate arranged for; we have the
platform built; in fact, there does not seem
TO be anything left for to do or for the
future convention to do. The man we have Sc
Iected as our candidate 1 believe. gentlemen,
fits present conditions. but if the conditions
change believe the Democratic party is big
enough and strong enough to change with them
There never was but one big as the
Democratic party. and he was Thomas Jeffer-
SON"
The committee members got together to-day
and heard committees from various cities sent
here to get the convention. II possible
BRYAN was discussed informally and the ques-
ton of making Tom Johnson. Of Ohio. national
chairman was discussed 1t is said there will
be few changes in the personnel Of the next
tional committee.
Notwithstanding the statement of Norman e.
Mack that New York would be for Bryan. inter-
est in the attitude that Chaners friends will as
sumo was excited here to-day by their persist
euCy They declared that he would have the dele
cations from New York. New Jersey and some Of
the New England States and that he would have
votes from the West. Bryans supporters laughed
at the idea. but the conservatives said. 1T is a
long time to the convention. and there is tell
ing what may happen"
Members who consented to speak of the plat
form seemed think there chances for diff
ferences between Bryan and the platform commit
tee at the convention They said the party should
ignore the money and the Philippine questions and
should be silent the question of anti-injunc-
ton BILL but that it should declare for tariff
vision down to the actual needs of the govern

They did not believe in making onslaught on
corporations. but favored plank declaring for
protection of the people from aggression and Of
stockholders from fraudulent speculation.

MAY NOMINATE WATSON AGAIN.
Populist National COMMITTEE Will Meet in
St. Louis Next Tuesday.

Joliet. Ill. Nov. 23-The Popurst National Com
mittee will meet IN St Louis November 36- In ad-
dition 10 members OF the committee, friends and
advisers have been called IN and the meeting may
result IN fixing n time and place for holding tho
convention OF 1903 and the denomination Of Thomas
Z. Watson. Of Georgia James II. Ferriss. OF
Joliet. national chairman. said to-day:
The meeting is timely, FOR in a measure our
party is calamity party. but. really. calamity IS
not the motive this time. The Populists are
pleased with the trend of public sentiment, for
the people were never more patriotic in time OF
war than in this financial crisis. Best of all. the
government is with US for the first time in my
remembrance a like occasion.
BY the way. R-yan has hit the keynote. Let the
government guarantee the bank deposits 1t is as
easy as guaranteeing the banknOtes, and quite in
expensive A tax on the bank deposits Of less
than one-half of per cent in year would pay
Gil the losses from national banks since they were
organized
The government should Issue all circulating notes
direct and attend to the elastic feature automat-
ically or otherwise In short, the government
should go a little further into the banking busi-
ness. other governments do, and the banks
should recede a little from government business.
Mr.. Ferriss denied that All alliance was being
arranged with either the Hearst Independence
League the Prohbitionists.

SEE HUGHES PRESIDENT
Tzoo Upstate Legislators Say His
Nomination Is IneJitabLe.

Assemblyman Edwin A. Merritt, Jr.. OF St. Law
renee County. predicted yesterday that Governor
Hughes would be nominated for President by the
Republicans next year.
Governor Hughes is the OF the hour" said
Mr. Merritt. Il believe he will be nominated be-
he is the only in sight. I do not be-
Heve that the Governor is reactionary in the
in which the term is now used. 1 am for Gov
ernor Hughes because I believe he will do things
IN the right way. 1 hear q great deal of specula-
ton 10 his motives. but I believe them to be
of the best believe he is conscientiously trying
do his whole duty. I have good deal of
him, and I think he has got the best brain of any
met.
"As I go back and forth through the state
find that single thing has helped the Governor
much the appointment OF the committee Of
bankers TO study and report on the banking situa-
Gon- The way it was done excited universal re-
spect and admiration. The veto OF the 2-cent fare
bill is another instance Of the Governors hard
sense When Il gets down 10 next summer We
will be face 10 face with a situation where all the
politicians will have be for him. because he
will be the man. 1t will be the same thing that
happened at Saratoga over again-the same thing
but .accentuated. OF course the politicians have
nothing TO expect from the Governor and those
who looking for something may be against
him. but they will have 20 come around"
Senator Cobb. OF Watertown. was OF the same
opinion.
Northern New York is for the Governor"
said Mr. Cobb. Il do not expect that Pres-
dent Roosevelts name will be mentioned in the
convention 7 take him at his word. I believe
that the Republicans OF the state generally arc
for him"
Assemblyman Merritt said there was nothing
new in tho speakership situation. He is a candi-
date FOR leader OF the majority and II he gets that
position he will be satisfied
