DEMOCRACY IS DEAD David Bennett Hill, Off for Europe, Declares Party
 Non Existent.
RIDlcULE FOR BRYAN
Suggests Johnson "the Poorhouse Can didatc" as Opponent of tho Pa
 tronnge Candidate.

New York, June il,--David B. Hill, former United States senator, and for n long time the leader of the democratic party In this state, sailed for Europe to-day on the steamer Baltic. Discuss ing his retirement from active politics MT. Hill said
 There is no democratic party, When ] met tho late Governor Altged in n little room In small Chicago hotel shortly before the first so-called Bryan convention. I told him that the policies which he represented would drive tho democratic party to hell. Then when he begged for another try four years later, l said You arc most there stop before you have absolutely ruined the party
 T nemit that the republican party is badly disorganized at the present time. Both parties are disorganlzed There was an opportunity but I fear that 1t has been overlooked.
 The key of this political campaign should be Taft the candidate of polit- ical patronage. What else is he? He IS put pelore the people as d cdnuldhte by the power of patronage nothing else
 Now, both sides in the coming po- litical struggle will have to go to the masses for their votes. They must draw , from the masses, and what better man could stand against the candidate rep resenting the power of patronage than John Johnson, who spent his boyhood days in county poorhouse. Think of 1t. Torchlight processlons with ban ners reading John Johnson. the poor house candidate.
 The democratic party never wanted MT. Bryan. Mir. Bryan wanted tho dem ocratic party. He forced himself on the party In 1898 and again on what was left of the party in 1900. ana now in 1908 he calls himself the democratic party, and says I have kept the faith Every time Bryan says I have kept the faith" It makes me smile. He has kept the faith indeed. He kept it out in Nebraska. his own state. which i' now republican to its political center"
