Democrats Who Shone as Leaders
In the Cleveland Campaigns

The suggestion is made by the New
York Times that Democrats OF nation
al reputation be sent as delegates to
the convention OF the party to be held
IN Denver next year, the idea being
that the presence OF such men will
recall the days when the party was
united and triumphant, and tend to
preclude unsafe and fractional deci-
sions, and go far toward insuring
action that will give to the platform,
and to the candidate the immense ad-
vantage OF the full party sanction
The Times says the following names
should be upon the rolls Of Xhe con-
vention as delegates: Grover Cleve-
land, New Jersey; Alton B. Parker,
New York; Richard Oiney, Massa-
chusetts: Franklin MacVeagh, Illi-
nois; Judson Harmon, Ohio; James
NJ. Guffey, Pennsylvania; George
Gray, Delaware; David r. Francis.
Missouri; John Sharp Williams. Mis-
sissippi; Don M. Dickinson. Michigan;
Henry Watterson, Kentucky; Edward
w. Carmack, Tennessee; William j.
Bryan, Nebraska: Clark Howell, Geor-
gia. There is no doubt but what the
attendance of these men and others
OF their standing who formerly fought
the battles of their party shoulder TO
shoulder, but have drifted apart on
account of differences OF opinion on
party policies would have a most sal
utary effect upon the Democratic
campaign. and eif it Is possible to Sc
cure 1t such attendance should be
had.
The list OF. names above awakens
memories. Mr. Cleveland was three
times the Candidate Of the Democratic
party for president. He was elected
In 1884. defeated in 1888, and elected
again in 1892 He is the only living
ex-president. Mr.. Parker was the I'M
successful candidate of the party for
president in 1904. Mr.. Bryan was
the candidate OF the party for presi-
dent in 1896 and 1900, and was de-
feated both times. SO the party has

advice and told her everything, and
she was highly indignant and told me
that she don't understand me. and
therefore / decided to follow my own
head.
This Is not exactly correct because
II have really listened only TO my
heart, which Is stronger than all rea-
son.
When you wrote two weeks ago that
long letter To papa in which you gave
him back his word, you did not stop
TO think how that letter from you at
fected your poor little me.
We were all sitting IN the parioF
after dinner. Mamma was embroider-
ing away for dear life as she always
does. although she knows that 1t
makes me disguised, and papa was no
more interested than he usually is
when he buries himself in his even
ing paper. All of a sudden | saw
papa opening letter, which had Just
come, but was not close enough TO
recognize the hand writing. i no
ticed that he turned very pale. then
he got up and in very strange voice
asked mamma 70 go with MIN into the
library. and when mamma as usual
took her time and wanted TO fasten
the end of the thread, pap got angry
and began TO swear, which l thought
was very inconsiderate of him.
Now | can tell you that | didn't
waste any time in making up my mind
that / must find out what was going
on. and as soon as the door had closed
behind them, sneaked after them to
listen.
Well. now You know, Jacques, that |
can hear almost anything
couldn't hear anything just then, ex-
cept the beats OF the pulse against
my temples. or course, could hear
papa roar loud enough, but you know
he suffers when he's angry, and II
Is very hard to understand person
that Is suffering through a closed
door.
Mamma said hardly anything, and
| I was more and more afraid, even De
fore | plainly heard them mention
your name Then | ran away into
my own room and began to cry with
| out knowing why.
Now | don't know how long time
passed. 1t must have been hours and

to find mamma when she came In with
the saddest face | ever saw, holding

TO shake her as hard as | could.
"No, my dear child, Jacques isn't
dead. but you will never see him
again. Jacques has written us that
ne has lost his whole fortune and re-
leases us from all obligations"
Then she said whole lot OF philo-
sophical nonsense, that | paid no at

you, Jacques, shouldn't that have been
the first thing she should have done!

thing you have forgotten and some
thing very important. and that Is that
your Martha loves you and | think that

that.

An adequate idea Of the intense in
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr.. Cooper during the past
year with his theories and medicines is
given in the following article which
appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
Cooper was introducing his ideas to
the people of that city. The article
says: The beginning of Mr. Cooper
second week in Cincinnati gives every
indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as in other
cities.
Prom the first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have
steadily increased. until now it has
reached point where several thou
sand talk with him each day. The en-
tire city seems to have become inter-
ested in his theory that the human
stomach is degenerate. and he already
has an army Of followers in Cincinnati
who seem positive that his claims are
correct
