Mount Morris (111.) Democrat: The

for doing right.
Cameron (Mo.) Sun: Those reor
ganizing Morganizcrs of the east who
want to nominate a republican on the
democratic tlckot should go into the
republican party at onco and bo done
with it.
Clarksvillo (Mo.) Piker: A thou
sand times would it ho better for the
party to stand for its own principles
and tho people's interests and bo de
feated than gain a dozen "victories"
tied to tho chariot wheel of Mammon.
Mount Morris (III.) Democrat: The
republican party has been in power
Eovon years without checking a single
monopoly. In fact, It has fo?tered :
monopolies, aim yet no leaurr ct tno
party will admit being a champion of
tho trusts. Uut they don't need to
admit it. Tho people are finding it
out.
Hockvlllo (Ind.) Tribune: These
follows who are so anxious to find a
candidato and frame a platform ac
ceptable to tho democrats, so-called,
who liavo not voted the- ticket since
1892, would do well to consider what
tho dog had left when he dropped tho
aubstanco that was in his mouth to
grab at its shauow in the water.
Shenandoah (la.) World: Instead
of laying on God tho responsibility
for having sent us there, we had bet
tor bo praying to God, asking His
forgiveness for the way we have
murdered thoso poor people, de
bauched their women, and put an
overlasting blot on the pago of what
might have been a most glorious civ
ilization. Newark (0) Advocate: British
authorities continue to assert that
England and the United States have
an entangling alliance o some kind
in the far east, and Mr. Hay persists

bound for tho "promotion of the com

uncommonly good for the United
States to keep out of all such mix-

Senaca (Kas.) Courier-Democrat;
The last detachment of United States
troops left Cuba the other day, and

cans in 1900, "Who will pull down

does not seem such a serious or trai
torous act when it is flying where it
does not belong, but the cry served in
1900 to catch gudgeons who imagined
they were stirred by patriotism.
Albion (Mich.) Mirror:, The turn
out of a glittering troop of cavalry to
receive Governor Taft of the Philip
pines, and the mustering of another
clattering company to enable Secre
tary Root to resume his posicion as a
privato citizen, are likely to have im
portant results. Foreign ambassadors
in Washington are inquiring why they
cannot have some of this royal pomp
and circumstance, and members of
tho cabinet visiting various parts of
the country wonder why they cannot
make their tours accompanied by the
gorgeousness of soldiers and a brass
band. Itmight surprise Washington,
Jefferson, Franklin, and even Lincoln,
but, as Senator Lodge remarked, "We
must bo prepared for larger dtmon
btrations." Spartanburg (S. C.) Journal: The
Charlotte Observer, the greatest
Clevelandite of them all, admits that
Mr. Cleveland lacks his usual direct
ness in dealing with the Panama
question in his recent letter whtn he
fails to advise tho democratic senators
to vote for or against the Panama ca
na treaty. Mr. Cleveland is always
indirect and involved in his advice
to the party. He writes of foundation
democratic principles and old-fashioned
democratic maxims, but he never
states what these are, nor how they
should be applied to present condi-
lfn afd iSSUes' We only ltnw that
while he was president he applied
whatever principles he had tSward
ho benefit of those who have always
been considered the enemies of the
J hat is why the democrats distrust
him and republicans admire him

the meeting which was held at the
Tuxedo, Fifty-ninth street and Madi
son avenue. It was stated that an
other large Cleveland mass meeting
is soon to be held, at which John G.
Carlisle, Charles S. Fairchild and
Ashbel P. Fitch are to be present.
Chairman Gerard, in introducing
the first speaker, Thomas W. Church
ill, said: "He twice held office under
the man who will be the next presi
dent of the United States, Grover
Cleveland." At this reference to Mr.
Cleveland there was enthusiastic
cheering.
'ln the past eight years," said Mr.
Gerard, "the democratic party has
been a party of defeat, but with the
present leadership of the party, with
the present disposition of the party
to follow safe counsels, and with the
prestige of the splendid administra
tion Mayor McClellan is giving us,
there is every prospect that the party
is soon to be not merely a party of
criticism, but a party of action."
Champe S. Andrews aroused the
greatest enthusiasm of the evening
in his strong demand for Mr. Cleve
land's nomination.
"We have been too long wedded , to
dead issues," he said. '"The demo
cratic party has too long been a party
of obstruction. The Kansas City and
Chicago platforms gave us not one
single positive constructive program.
We want a platform that declares -for
something that is to be done, not a
platform that merely criticises and
opposes. There are more young vot
ers in the democratic party now than
in its history. The young blood calls
for a program. of action, not one of
obstruction.
"The democratic party now needs,
as it never needed before, some man
with force and character to rise up
and lead us. We have the voters,
we have the ammunition wo want
the man. I know it is a popular
thing at Albany and elsewheie for
after-dinner speakers to nominate
candidates for president. It is not
at dinners that our next candidate
will be named. He will not be named
by a newspaper or a chain of newspa
pers. It is in the affections of the
people. I have said that we have the
tariff question, and we have still liv
ing among us, thank God, the man
who led us twice to victory on that
issue, Grover Cleveland.
"Mr. Cleveland is now Tivinn- i
dignified retirement, the beloved of
his fellow citizens. He has said that
he would not accept a nomination for
the presidency, but there is no man
in this country, not even if he has
the strong will of Qrover Cleveland
who can refuse the demand of his
countrymen, and decline to carry the
standard of leadership when the nomi
nation of his party for that high office
is tendered to him."
