Senator Oferman, OF North Carolina,
has evidently forgotten that there are
times to bear and times to f%orbear,
times to talk and times to keep ones
mouth Shut Utterly needless of this
sound philosophy, or else confusing
the tine and the place, Senator Over
man journeyed over to New York the
other day and began talking with the
reporters. What he said cannot be
unsaid now, but overnan will rue
the day he ever went to the Metropo-
lis and. in sackclota and ashes, would
fain forget that he said it.
Mr.. overman was talking about the
next President, a topic which is al
ways interesting, even on the day
after election. He said that Gaynor
and Harmon were looming up as can
didates, and he declared that upo the
record of either during the next few
months would depend his chances for
the Democratic nomination. II Har-
MOI failed of reelection, his name
would be forgotten. n If Gaynor
failed to keep up the standard of his
| splendid administration Inv New York,
he, too, would be numbered with the
| politically dead. If Gaynor succeeded
and Harmon fell, the Mayor would be
the best choice; but if Gaynor Were
lost in the shuttle, and Harmon proved
the trump card of Ohio politics, the
latter wouh sweep the stakes.
Had he stopped here, Mr.. Overmar
would have committed no great sin
and would not have endangered his
political salvation; but he went fur
Their and ruined himself. He had thu
audacity to declare, knowing that hi:
statement would get in print, tina
"Mr. Bryaniis entirely eliminated from
the list of Presidential possibilities
Could there be worse hcresy thar
this? Could overman, poor soul. hay
said anything that would moro imme
