it's energies so manifestly put forth.
1t had welcomed with Joy the news of
the refusal of Gormly to become the
candidate of the minority party Lift
fey had at once decided in his own
mind that that settled the issue. Even
farther sighted men like Rutherford
were of the same opinion. Haldane
alone, the wisest, shrewdest, and
ablest of the group, YVES not con-
WINGED, and under his vigorous though
secret urgings the ring redoubled its
efforts to beat the man.
At the proper time the proposition
from the party in power to make a
combination with the outs was sprung
upon the public. 1t was hailed on one
side as an evidence of the fairness
of the party In power and the Sachem
society, which many people imagined
| needed no alliance of that kind. 1t
was considered as testimony to the
| fact that the party in power had moth
ing to conceal, since it admitted the
| outs to its councils, and that it was
| sincerely DESTROYS of giving New York
|
| factions and parties should be repre-
scented There was truth in the con-
| tention, too The only faction or party
that would not be represented by this
! alliance would be the common people.
Wiser heads, however, realized that
altruistic methods were inconsistent
/ entirely with the real spirit of either
J IN ha oil
fesslon Of weakness. And the editorial
contingent of the Gormly papers
seized upon this idea and made the
most of 1t. In the beginning, CORN
ly's advertisements, including his pc
litical manifestos, had been printed
Ia every paper in the city They were
paid for as other Advertisements are
and why not? But the Sachem So
ciety had put the screws on certain
journals which owed much to it's influ'
ence, and because of this pressure
they had summarily refused any more

and that Gormly was simply using bis
candidacy to boom his business. There
was no satisfactory answer to this
argument. which was one Of the best
that could have been devised b. tho
opposition, and it was harped UPON
immensely, although their leader vas
vigorously justified from this charge
by his army Of fighters.
The expenses of the campaign were
enormous. Not one cent was paid cut
for bribery or for the purpose of IN
fuencing votes in any improper way;
but the hiring of halls, the payment
of the expenses Of meetings, organiza-
ton, transportation, printing, salaries,
and so on aggregated an extraordinary
cum. Even Gormly himself had not
realized how great these expenses
would be; but he paid them without
blenching His resources were vast.
He put at the disposal of his candi-
dacy all the accommodations and earn
ings Of twenty-five years. He saw
that by the time the vote was taken,
his ready money would be expended.
OF course, he would still have his
great business, which would be entire
ly unencumbered; but everything else
would go.
He still kept to his plan of printing
every week sworn statements of his
expenses, challenging the other party
to do the same. The reason the so
ciety did not publish its expense ac-
count was not because it was ashamed
of the amount, for it was vastly great
er than what Gormly expended. They
had nearly as many expenses as ne,
except for the newspaper advertising,
which they got free, and In addition
! they disbursed an immense bribery
| and corruption fund through Ahey,
! Connell, Habberley and Benson.
Again and again were Haldane and
his associates called upon for remit
! tances, which were invariably forth
coming. There was no possibility OF
refusal Failure to win a victory
would mean financial ruin to many OF
them. Fortunately for him, 1t did not
mean so much to Haldane, although
! his great fortune would be seriously
impaired by defeat. Most OF the
others. however, had turned over
everything that they possessed, and
pledged their credit as well, to the
vast syndicate of which he was the
head Indeed, he and Van Slyke would
be the only ones not totally ruined
by the election of Gormly. Conse

The men who rallied to his support,
while as innocent az babes in the prac-
teal politics affected by Liffey and
Benson, we're nevertheless men OF
Astounding zeal, keen intelligence, and
high quality. Nor were the workers
that gathered round the new leader
entirely from the social set and circle
of the Haldanes. Gormly In one way
or another employed vast number
of working men. His relations with
them had always been not merely
square" as they phrased 1t, but kind
and generous. They were organized
and started at work Immediately in
every direction. Before the enemy
realized II, ample time had been Sc
cured In every possible assembly
room and there were nightly meetings
all over the city.
In the Gormly store itself was a
great auditorium in which free con-
eerts, lectures, and entertainments
patrons of the store. This auditorium
had outside entrances and could be
completely cut off from the other
business. Every afternoon he assem-
bled in the auditorium the workers
and speakers, and every afternoon
there was the freest possible discus
sion Of the issues of what was to be
said in the speeches Of the night, OF
the places to be covered. The man
showed a genius for leadership and
direction that was amazing. He de-
yeloped a power of succinctly pre-
senting the facts which in large
measure he was able to communicate
to his followers.
Livingstone Haldane's example had
been followed by not few young men
of fortune and position. 1t became in

Not in TiIden's time or in Cleveland's
time was the Democratic party SO
united as IL is now.
Never before since the civil war has
there been SO general an agreemeBt
about leaders and issues and opportuni-
ties.
We are almost prepared to say that
for the first time in fifty years there is
coberen. Democratic party which is
sobered by victory and responsibility.
Even six months ago Democratic
victory seemed to promise nothing
better than Republican defeat and
popular rebuke Of the party in power.
But out of the weller OF the CAM
paign has come new order Of things.
A new generation of leaders springs
into being-Wilson Of New Jersey,
Dix of New York, Harmon of Ohio,
Baldwin of connecticut, Foss Of Massa-
chusetts, Plaised Of Maine. With them
must be included Mayor Gaynor, who
has pointed to the regeneration of mu-
nicipal government.
These men are not mushroom agit-
ators.or political accidentsThey belong
tothe breed Of leaders whom men
of intelligence can fellow. They have
already given to the Democratic party
new standing, new stability and new
character. That they should all have
| ~, ba saano IL II 70 ,, or,., l~
is another proof Of the genius of Ameri.
can institutions to produce leadership
when leadership becomes imperative.
The way to the complete rehabilita-
ton of the Democratic party Is now so
simple that it can be lost only by bind
stupidity and folly. The trail is SO
plainly blazed that there can be no ex-
cuse for losing it. A Democratic Sena
tor in Maine who represents what
Plaisted represents; a Democratic Sem
ator in New York who represents
what Gaynor and Dix represant;a
Democratic Senator in New Jersey
who represents what Wilson repre-
sents; Democratic Senator in Ohio
who represents what Harmon repre-
sents; Democratic leadership in Con-
gress that is sane, progressive and
cautious-and the work of making a
new Democratic party is done.
For the first time since Andrew
Jackson's Administration the Demo-
cratic party is emancipated and master
of its own destiny. All the shackles
have been struck off. There is no load
/ of sectional issues or dead issues or
. economic fallacies for it to struggle
under. AS secession followed slavery
| to the grave and silver followed seces-
sion, SO the Bryan socialism has follow
| ed silver, and the Democratic slate is
wiped clean. The party is back to first
!. principles again, under leadership
that is fit to lead.
For fifty years the greatest service Of
! the Democracy has been that of =
I party of Opposition. At last the op-
! portunity has come, under men like
! Wilson and Gaynor and Baldwin and
2 Dix and Harmon and Foss and Plaist-
I ed, for it be party of constructive and
progressive craftsmanship.

THE "WHITE" RHINO.

The great beast which was the OBJ
ject Of our coming to the Lado was
the square-mouthed or, as it is some-
times miscalled the white rhinoceros.
Africa is huge continent, and many
species of big mammals inhablting 1t
are spread over a vast surface: and
some of them offer strange problems
for inquiry in the discontinuity Of their
distribution. The most extraordinary
instance of this discontinuity is that
offered by the distribution of the
squaremouthed rhinoceros. It is al
most as If our bison had never been
known within historic times except
in Texas and Ecuador. This great rhi-
noceros was formerly plentiful In
South Africa and Zambesi. where II
has been completely exterminated ex-
cept for a score or so Of individuals
on a game reserve. North Of the
Zambesi 1t was and is utterly un-
known, save that during the last ten
years It has been found to exist in
several localities on the left bank OF
the Upper Nile, close to the river, and
covering a north and south extension
Of about two hundred miles. Even
In this narrow ribbon of territory the
square-mouthed rhinoceros Is found
only In certain localities, and although
there has not hitherto been much
slaughter Of the mighty beast. it would
certainly be well IL all killing of Il
were prohibited until careful inquiry
has been made as to its numbers and

THE IINIELIGHT OF PUBLICITY,

In his article on 1.-TWO Revolts
Against Oligarchy," IN the Septem-
Der McClure's, Amos Pinchot says of
Roosevelt:
'The most extraordinary hold which
Theodore Roosevelt has upon the peo-
pie of the United States has been due
to their deep conviction that he is
with them, heart and soul, in the
great human task of social improve
ment. Mr.. Roosevelt has neither pl-
loted the country through a great cri-
sis nor carried to the end a definite
constructive program. His one i'm
pressive act of constructive states
manship, the conservation policy, was
hardly more than we'll begun before
his administration ended. But, on
the other hand, he has two great
qualities-an instructive faculty of
understanding the needs and aspira-
tions of the people, and the courage
and spiritual intensity to fight for
them. Moreover, he was able, unlike
Daniel Webster or Stephen A. Doug
las. to read the signs of the times
