GraN of DelaMare.

GEORGE GRAY, former United States
Senator from Delaware, has again been
proposed as the Democratic candidate
for President. In June, 1904, the Della
ware State convention indorsed him for
the Presidency after a wrangle in viii h
ex-senator RICHARD r. KENNEY led the
opposition. Al the time Judge GRAY said:
IL am not a candidate for President. The
instructions are against my expressed
wishes" In the previous August the
Democrats of Lackawanna county, Penn
sylvania, recognizing the mastery abil-
itv, sound judgment, strong sympathy
with the masses and broad statesman
ship" Of Judge GRAY, had urged his
nomination. He then refused to con-
slider himself seriously as a Presidential
possibility and peremptorily charged his
friends not to present his name TO the
national convention. So far dis Pennsyl-
vania was concerned the Hon. JAMES NJ.
GUFFEY, the Democratic leader, agreed
with Judge GRAY that he was not a can
didate. Mr.. GUFFEY's choice was Sen
ator GoRMAN of Maryland.
1t is rather singular that Judge GRAY's
name is 10 be carried 10 the meeting of
the national committee in Indiana on
Friday by ex-senator KENNEY, who was
not in favor of the Judges nomination
in 1904. Mr.. KINNEY will distribute
copies of a speech Judge GRAY made
upon State rights at the meeting of the
Pennsylvania Bar Association last Au-
gust, especially for the effect il will have
on the Southern members Of the national
committee. No doubt Judge GRAY's
speech against the Force bill which he
delivered in the Senate in 1891 will be
used in the same quarter.

Jacquemart a by no means an ~innovator

but an artist he ever was and an accom-
plished craftsman. The Hille Bobbe OF

summate ability by Jacquemart. His early
death from consumption is a regrettable
event. for he was a ~tireless worker. and his

used they are called on after a strenuous day
to spend the evening counting votes. passing
on doubtful ballots and deciding questions Of
law. Usually they are not the most brilliant
intellects or most devoted patriots in the COM
munity. and the record OF canvasses is filled
with tales of stupid blunders or incorrect
decisions. In too many cases they have been
shown to be corrupt In addition to being
stupid. myself have seen a drunken cleo

being in such condition as to make intelligent

Facts VS.. Optimism.

Our neighbor the Tribune informs its
readers that "the Government loan Of
So, 1000, 900 will afford relief to the planters
and farmers from the monetary strin-
gency from which they have been suffer-
ing and will open the way for the full
reestablishment of agrarian prosperity
Optimism is always beautiful, but cold
facts have a way of remaining facts.
Cuba's trouble is not 81 much the lack
of S. 900, 900 to-day. in any case only a
patch on the situation, as a lack Of rain
fall during the past summer A hundred
times that sum will not put the juice into
the canestallks.
1t is not entirely certain that the prof
fered loan will be accepted. It calls for
the deposit of certain securities which are
not readily available. Moreover, the
sum offered is perhaps no more than a
fair fraction of the money wanted 10
make the crop. It1s probable that most
Of the planters who stapd in fair credit
have already made such arrangements as
they could through their usual channels.
Some of the mills will begin grinding in
he course Of the next three or four weeks
and financial arrangements are not usu-
Sly an eleventh hour proceeding except
for those of doubtful credit. These more
than any others are the possible bene-
ficiaries of the proposed loan, and the
present state of the canefields is not such
as to induce bankers to borrow even Gov
eminent money and loan it on more or
less questionable credit.
The unvarnished truth is that Cuba's
economic outlook, while far from desper-
ate, is perhaps equally far from encour-
aging. The proposed IS, 1000 loan will
hardly open the way for the full rees-
Enlistment Of agrarian prosperity" No
amount Of optimism a successfully
override the facts of short crop, high
wages and excessive freight rates on both
raw material and finished product. Nor
is there even the cheerful prospect of
high prices for the product. What the
next two years may bring to the Cuban
planters and the hundreds Of thousands
who are dependent on them for a liveli-
hood we Of course do not know and we
are unwilling to predict.
Some day the United States will waken
10 the realization of a truth frequently
repeated in these columns, namely. that
Cuba is an economic and not a political
problem.

From a tribute to the Hon. AUGUSTUS f.
WILSON as a vocalist we make the follow
ing extract in the interest Of peace and am
ity in the Democratic party in Kentucky:
Old fashioned melodies are his f~avottes, al
though there Is one song In his repertoire which Is
a notable one. II Is entitled Some Good Fellows
I Know At a banquet in Louisville two or three
years ago. after the orchestra had played My Old

song. bringing tears 70 the eyes of hundreds
Tears of passion have risen TO the eyes
of Colonel HENRY WATrERsoN and the Hon.
ALPHABET BEcKHAM as they strained and
tugged in the throes Of controversy over
the one great cause OF the defeat OF the
Democratic party at the recent election.
The Colonel wasted a barrel Of ink to prove
that there had been too much BECKHAM.
while the man who would be Senator re-
torted that the Colonel had gone fishing
during the campaign. When a candidate
can make the Blu Grass children weep by
singing MY Old Kentucky Home" at a ban
quet after the usual libations, why look
further for the cause of his triumphant
election?

The Organizer OF Receptivity.

Mr.. BRYAN's modest Animation that

ton" and will let the question o his
availability rest with the voters of his
party finds the old conservative guard
unsurpassed yet flustered, and stammer-
ing out the question, What are we
going to do about it?" Meanwhile the
candidate who awaits the spontaneous
call Of the people is buttonholing the
politicians and attending to the prelim-
inaries himself.

Uniastructcd Roosevelt Delegates.

Omnihcence has spoken. The dew

The important point TO the Oficehold-

IN enough for them. Once in the con-
vention they will be subject to the psy-
chology Of crowds, to emotion skilfully
propagated and directed; or, perhaps a
timely disobedience on their part may
enable them TO comply with the spirit II
not the letter Of general orders.
The presence and activity Of these

done for, Mr.. BRYAN began to organize
for the nomination In 1908 by getting In
touch with susceptible Democrats in
every part Of the country. He did not
intrude his own ambition; his sole con-
cern was for the preservation OF Demo-
cratic principles, and he expressly en-
joined upon his correspondents the need
OF an organization in their neck Of the
woods. There followed three years Of
strenuous effort devoted 20 the cultiva-
ton of Bryan sentiment by this unOb-
trusive process, and from time TO time
the candidate made the rounds TO motto
progress.
Mr.. BRYAN was therefore quite at homo
ut Lafayette, Ind, on Monday when he
met the county chairmen and they re-
ported TO him. In the evening there was
the usual banquet-there have been hun
dreds Of them-to give him an oppOrtun-
ity to enunciate Democratic principles
UP to date. When he has not been the
~honored guest" at banquets Mr.. BRYAN
has prOselyted from the lecture platform
and even from the pulpit. The same old
principles, spouted word for word over
the dinner cloth, and the same old phi
losophy spoken ~parrotlike in the same
threadbare language from the lecture
platform; no originality, no change of
language in the carnations from the
Bryan brain; but the plan of self-adver-
Using by the process of constant iteration
has been tirelessly carried out.
Thus . has the receptive candidate
worked while the excellent conserva-
tives have waited and slept. Now when
they ask each other bewildered, What
are we going to do about it?" Mr.. BRYAN,
with the game well in hand, has only
one thing to worry over. Can he COM
mand a two-thirds vote. in the national
convention on the first ballot?
