Is There a Hearst Party?

To build up a national party is an
ambition that might animate any man,
and Mr.. Hearst may well be applauded
for cherishing it. But the weakness
of his method is that he is trying to
build it from the top down. Ne is
managing it through his own salaried
employees. At his recent conference
at Chicago every man who appeared
prominently as a speaker, official, or
even mover Of resolutions, was a
Hearst newspaper employee.
However, the past accomplishments
of Mr. Hearst in politics are not of so
much present interest as his future
purposes. Probably nobody save Hearst
himself knows what his future plans
may be. Possibly he himself does not
know. For it is one of his most strik-
ing characteristics that he is able to
change his expressed opinion, even
though they have been published, with
in forty-eight hours, with a most Gym
zeal Indifference to what he said before.
Just exactly as he was willing to de-
nounce in his newspapers the sins of
Tammany and specify as the personifi-
cation Of those sins Murphy and Grady,
and thereafter accept nomination for
the governorship urged by Grady and
granted by Murphy, so he may be will
ing in the course of the coming cam
paign to adopt any position that may
advance his own aims.
1t appears now that Mr.. Hearst's
party will call a national convention in
Chicago in the latter part of July. The
exact date has not been set. But it
has been authoritively stated that the
action Of this convention will depend
largely upon the nominations made by
the Democratic and the Republican
parties. 1t is asserted that organiza-
tions have been established for the
Hearst party in twenty-four states. If
any Of these organizations are managed
by anybody not drawing a salary from
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst, they
will be an exception to the general
rule. From Hearst: A Political Prob
lem. by a Democratic politician, in
Amer Review of Reviews for May.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Brokers Failure Inscttlcs Market
Previously Firm.

New York, Aug. O. The most inn
portant event in the financial district
today was the failure of q prominent
commission house whose operations are
believed to have been largely respon-
sihle for last Saturdays sensational
stock market The failure excited no
great surprise and was without very
serious effect on prices. BY It's own
admission the firms affairs are badly
tangled and the fear wac expressed
that other Wall street interests may
be unwittingly involved. In banking
circles il was felt that the failure
would go far towards clearing the muir
ky atmosphere and restoring confidence
among investors, who have been fight
ing shy recently Business on the
stock exchange was in moderate vol
ume and with fairly firm undertone
before the suspension was announced
in the early afternoon. It then became
unsettled and feverish and remained SO
for the balance of the day. American
Smelling, which has stood the brunt of
the recent selling, fell most abruptly
and material declines were sustained
bv most of the active issues. Apart
from the local situation the day was
destitute of any interesting develop
ments There continues TO be much
conflict of opinion as to whether or not
Industrial and mercantile conditions

are being considered by any Of the

the increasing case Of money suggests
the feasibility Of such ventures. The

that of ontario & Western FOR the

When President Cleveland called an
extra session of congress in the sum,
mer of 1888 to push through the repeal
of the Sherman silver bullion purchas-
ing act of 1890, the Democratic preSl-
dent of the old school unwittingly gave
to the man of destiny in the new school
of Democracy an altitudinous stepping
stone toward the presidency. Bryan of
Nebraska, aged th!rty-three, delivered
in the house on the 10th of August a
speech against the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act.
The whole house and most of the sen
ate heard it. When Bryan ceased
speaking he was picked up by enemies
and friends alike and borne around the
hall on the shoulders of enthusiasts
who liked Il rippiHZ fine Grafton wher
they heard it regardless as to whether
it suited their politics. Nobody dis
puted that it was the greatest speech
of the extra session.
Bryan declined denomination for
congress in 1894 and became editor Of
