CERTAIN UNREASONABLE DEMO
Gratis.

From the New York Times.
That Mr.. Wilson is to he renomin-
ated at st. Louis next week every
body knows; that his reputation or
the one-term plank in the Baltimore
platform will be accomplished by
sour and disgustod organization has
not been so generally advertised. but
Mr.. Wilson has shown little consid-
Grafton for the feelings of those on
whom he depends for nomination, and
their spirits are wroth.
Usually the officers OF a convention
are selected by the manager of the
party, with due regard for the feel
ings Of the probable candidate. 81.
Louis will see gathering in which
the probable candidate has made all
the ARRANGEMENTS without any re-
gard for the feelings Of the managers.
Mr. Wilson has undertaken all the
details commonly remitted to the ma
tianal committee, the committee on
resolutions. and the committees on
temporary and permanent organiza-
tion. Moreover, he has done his task
without consulting or informing the
Statesmen who believed that they
of ratifying his decisions. These wor-
thy persons arise each morning to
read the newspapers and learn from
Washington dispatches what the
powers in the White House has de-
cided on. These tell them who is to
open the convention. who is to sue
ceed him beside the parliamentarian; (;
what the platform is to say; who
shall strike the keynote, and who
shall lead the cheering. Their part
is to acQuiesce. to smile pleasantly,
and to see that the electric fans are
adequate in number and properly dis
posed about the hall.
Mr.. Wilson is an expert patron OF
the preprimary. Failing popular
nomination OF Presidential candi-
dates. he has applied the principle to
the convention. and the preconven-
ton is now in session in Washington.
If the Democrats relieved of respon-
sibility complain, they simply convict
themselves OF unreasonableness.

A MATTER OF GALL.

IN URING recent discussion Of amendment pro-
~ posed by Democratic member of Congress in
creasng an already large appropriation bill Congress-
Martin p. Madden OF Illinois told a story that is
likely TO be retold among political speakers during
the coming campaign.
Mr.. Madden said the amendment reminded him of
a man who moved from Texas in the pioneer days
and opened bank in Denver. All the people who
had assembled around Denver made their deposits in
his bank, but shortly after the bank opened he
failed.
After the failure. he called the depositors together
and explained TO them that there none Of their
money left in the bank and that he had assets to
turn over to them except to offer himself as a sacr-
fee that they could do with him what they pleas

well, when you cutting him up, l speak for

IOWA Am WOMAN suFFRAGE.

OwA has rejected woman suffrage The vote Is so
close. however that the sufragsts, while natur

that State.
Virtually complete unofficial returns show that 137

$50 voted against IT, difference Of only 5000 votes in
a total poll Of more than 100000 Those figures will
be changed somewhat by the official count but doubt
