General e. A. McAIpine OF New York

strong case of optimism for the

r. H. Stevenson, who is to have
charge of the Foraker headquarters
during the convention, arrived here to-
day to take active charge of the fight
in behalf of the Ohio senator. He said:
Senator Foraker is 2 candidate for
the presidency and will continue as
such until he or some other man is
nominated. We are preparing TO open
rooms here, and if we believed that the
senator's name would be withdrawn, do
you suppose that all this money would
be wasted for lot of rooms that are
not needed. Well, not by a long shot.
There's another thing. we are not

ence. The allies are not down and out
and will not be until the nominee is

DEMOCRATIC PARTY DEAD
NEW YORKER STANDS ALONE IN
HIS GRANDEUR.

New York, June 11.-David B. Hill, for
mer United States senator and for a long
time leader Of the Democratic party in
this state, sailed for Europe today on ths
steamer Baltic. Discussing his retirement
from active politics. Mr. Hill said:
There is no Democratic party. When
l met the late Governor Altgeld in a lit
tie room up a back stairs in a small Chi
cago hotel shortly before the first So
called Bryan convention, l told him that
the policies which he represented would
drive the Democratic party to h.
Ihen, when he begged for another try
IOur years later, l said, You are most
there; stop before you have absolutely
ruined the party but Bryan was nomi-
mated, as | saw the futiiity of a minority
report with only ten votes TO back me.
Il admit that the Republican party is
badly disorganized at the present time.
Both parties are disOTganiZed. There was
an opportunity, but 1 fear that it has
been overlooked.
The key of this political campaign
should be Taft the candidate OF politl-
cal patronage What else is he? He is
put before the people as a candidate by
the power OF political patronage. Nothing
else.
"The Poor House Candidate"
Now. both sides in the coming polit-
lcal struggle will have to go TO the masses
for their votes. They mist draw from
the masses. and what better man could
stand against the candidate representing
the power OF patronage than John John
son, who spent his bOyhOOd days I'm
county poOrhOuse Think of il. Torch
light professions with banners reading
John Johnson. the poOrhouSe candidate
And from what I have been able TO
learn, Mr.. Johnson is more than a mere
near-to-the-people candidate He Is
Well-balanced man and an able man.
Every time Bryan says L kept the
faith il makes me smile. He has kept
the faith indeed. He Kept il out in Ne
braska, his own state, which is now Re-
publican 20 its political core.
The Democratic party never wanted
Mr. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan wanted the Demo-
cratic party. He forced himself on the
party in 1896. and again on what was
left of the party in 1900, and now in 1903
he calls himself the Democratic party and
says, 1 have kept the faith"

This system of taxation is pure horse

his share in building up the city bear the

Bransford's Attitude.
Lon ]. HaddOck, secretary OF the Man
ufacturers & Merchants association,
then told of talk ne had had with
Mayor BransfOrd The mayor, he said,
informed him that until the license Ordi-
nance is repealed it will be enforced. Mr..
Haddock thought the ordinance should be
repealed.
p J. II. Siegel of the Siegei Clothing com
pany moved that a committee be APP
pointed to draw up a set Of resolutions
asking the council to abolish the ner-
chants license. Messrs. Stephens and
Stringfellow were appointed.
Waldemar Van Cot, representing the
Consolidated Wagon & Machine com
pany, said that the company thought the
license system unjust and that the ordi-
nance should be abolished.
j. NJ. Marriott made a rather pictur-
esque speech. in which he suggested that
Mr. Hartman, who spoke so glowingly
of the future of Salt Lake, might improve
the street railway service he is giving
the city He said that he was glad the
license ordinance was pinching the big
bugs''-the large mercantile establish
ments-and causing them to sympathlze
with the little bugs the butchers ami
grocers-YhO had long been pestered by
the license collector.
