Responses to Mr. Hearst's overtures
to the Democracy are not as a rule
favorable. In some quarters they are
declined with thanks. In others they
are rejected with a spirit approaching
scorn. In no quarter, as the newspa-
pers report public sentiment, is any
such feeling manifested as greeted
Col Graves speech at the Jefferson
day dinner in Washington a few weeks
ago. On that occasion the PROPOSE
Z tion for fusion between the Hearst
ties and the Democracy was hailed
with enthusiasm. The only reason
why Colonel Graves did not receive
the Biblical welcome was because
there was no veal handy. The meats
served were of a more substantial
and filling character.
The Montgomery Advertiser, a rep
resentative southern journal does not
content itself with pronouncing
against what II calls the ''taint of
He1rstism." It describes the sort of
man the Democracy must nominate
for president, and the sort of plat.
form upon which he should stand The
candidate must be without guile" and
his political garments without
smirch." The platform must show
neither "populism," nor "other I'M
Democratic isms."
OF course the candidate should be
without guile in the bad sense of that
word. But he ought to be a good poll
tician. He should know the wires, and
how to pull them. The idea that
man familiar with politics and who
plays the game with skill Is neces-
sarily an unworthy man is absurd. Mr..
Jefferson was a thorough politician.
and Mr. Lincoln another. And there
is no challenge to the assertion that
Mr.. Roosevelt is a master Of the art.
And how could a Democratic plat
form be drawn without trace of pop
ulism? The Populists, by maneuver
directed by w. G. Whitney from New
York, helped elect Mr.. Cleveland in
1892, and by 1896 were so strong they
colored both the nomination and the
platform at Chicago. Mr.. Bailey that
year thought Mr.. Bryan more Popu-
list than Democrat, and meditated re-
Jecting the ticket. Mr.. Hill of New
York thought the Populist cat had eat
zen the Democratic canary, and so took
no part at all in the campaign. 1t
might be well to say that the Democ-
racy has all the Populism 1t needs In
its business, and more than has been
good for it in times past, but Popu-
lism is in its system to stay. The
most skilful of surgeons could not
drain 1t out and leave the patient
alive.
The Advertiser does we'll to call for
a good nomination and a good plat
form, but It should not be too exact
ing in this day of mixed issues and
chaotic conditions. "As good as you
have got; I'm not expecting the best"
said the old man from the country at
the restaurant counter in ordering a
cup Of coffee.
