An old newspaper man of this city now

solely with the object of Frightening the

Before the war he said. II was

stress of circumstances could he be in

AS TO JUDGE GRAY.

There has been a good deal of talk
in Democratic circles about nominating
Judge George Gray of Delaware for the
vice presidency Judge Gray would be
entirely acceptable to Mr.. Bryan And
1t is quite certain he would be accept
able to the Democratic party and the
country at large. If he could be per-
suaded 10 express a willingness to ac-
cept the nomination ii would be given
him practically without any contest Il
would be difficult indeed. 70 md bet

his mind-that one term in the presi-
dcncy is enough for him. He Will DE-

Judge Gray has a remarkably inter-
esting and important record. His ser
vice i'm the United States senate added
political distinction to the little state
of Delaware. and a real credit To his
party and lasting benefit to the coun-
try \ particularly strong light on
Judge Gray's fine character and equip
ment Is the honor that has been shown
him by Republican presidents. McKin-
ley named him as a member OF the
Canadian boundary commission, as a
member of the peace conference that
made the treaty of Paris. which ended
the Spanish-American war. and as
judge of the Third judicial district. an
office he still holds. President Roose-
welt appointed him to the permanent
court of arbitration provided for by the
conference OF The Hague. and made
him chairman of the commission that
arranged the settlement of the anthra-
cite coal strike of 1902 Judge Gray Is
