His peroration, if such be the ker boom is fairly on, and those is as follows: While no porper term, one has the power to foretell the result of the election in 1904, the Democratic party and by that I mean not a few leaders, but the voters of the Democratic party should apply Democratic principles to all questions, should present Democratic arguments to all who will read or listen, and face the future with confidence, assured that whether transient conditions and changing circumstances shall be favorable or unfavorable, truth will finally triumph and every righteous principle, be ultimately established.

Mr. Bryan published his through the medium of the Commoner, while Dr. McKelvey, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, told the people what was wanted by the Cleveland-rtes- , and as the .Eagle is the recognized organ of the Cleveland faction, it may be taken as authority. Mr. Bryan is prolix in his statement, while the other side is concise, but emphatic. Mr. Bryan states that the chances of our party, like the chances of all parties, depend upon three things: First, upon the partys attitude upon public question'; spcond, upon the knowledge the people have of these questions, and, third, upon the conditions, industrial and otherwise, prevailing at the time. Mr. Bryan says the partys attitude is entirely within the control of the party, and it must take the position which the voters to be the correct one, and it, if it would draw votes to it, must take an honest position and state the position honestly. It must not only have principles, but must apply them. be-ile- ve Bryan then asserts that imperial- side of the house. In a recent issue the newspaper which champions the cause of Cleveland, I. e., the Brooklyn Eagle, has this to say: Any platform which reviews bimetallism, nullification, free riot, mob law and the administration of an emetic to hell, with the ejected resultant as concrete Democracy, will be overwhelmingly opposed and defeated, no matter who is nominated. That which organized Democracy in national affairs signified in 1896 and in 1900 must' be abandoned by Democracy or Democracy will be beaten again, no matter who the nominee may be. It need not be jumped on, it need net be denounced. But it must not belrevived or reiterated or apologized for, or in any way revitalized. Some eastern papers have construed this declaration as an intimation that the Eagle will bolt the ticket, unless it has its own way in platform making. The Eagle does not deny the soft impeachment. It comes out boldly and declares that it has bolted in former years. That it supported Palmer and Buckner in 1896 (tind McKinley and Roosevelt in 1900, but that it wTants to support a Democratic ticket, when the party returns to its first principles. It directs attention to the fact that when it supported Democracy in New York in years when it was not hampered with Populism, Democracy won, and when it did not support it, Democracy lost To quote its own words: Well, when the party in this state has followed the advice of the Eagle the party has won. And when not, not. Enough for that. ism is still the paramount issue. That as it was so declared by the Kansas City; platform it still remains, because there is an irrepressible conflict between the ideas of imperialists and and one or the other must predominate. Either coloniza tion government must be abandoned in the Orient, or the same methods J Jt must prevail at home.

The Par continue. As to the money question, Mr. Bryan still declares against the single gold standard and in favor of silver as a money metal, although his utterances are not so definite as in the past. He does not assert that the coinage should be free and in his statement we discern no repetition of the statements made in 1896 and 1900 concerning this portion of the declaration of principles. Perhaps Mr. Bryan has decided to let the party work that matter out for itself. On the tariff he declares the Democratic party opposed to a tariff levied solely for the purposes of protection; that it stands where it always has stood, for a tariff anti-imperialis- ts, for revenue, limited to the necessities of the government, although in this case the words economically administered are not us.ed. Upon the question of the rights of labor, Mr. Bryan is very verbose, and at the risk of offending his friends in Utah who pin their political faith upon his utterances, Truth is compelled to say that he offers no solution for difficulties which seem to present themselves. He states conditions, but presents no rem SmaJl Profits pro- moting it will continue to work until convention time, for their candidate. My Motto.

Hill has no press bureau as yet, but he is getting there just the same, for his silence provokes nearly as much comment as would other mens activity. Now and then we hear something from him to the effect that although 3ilent he is not sleeping, and that when the proper time comes he will control the delegation from New York state. As was stated in Truth several weeks ago, there still continue to be rumors of an alliance between he and 3ryan, the terms being that Bryan shall be permitted to engraft some of lis ideas, in a modified form, into the platform, while at the proper time Hill is to be sprung as the candidate for he presidency and nominated with the assistance of the delegations from the western states where Bryan ideas 3till obtain. It is not to be expected :hat a great deal will be doing during the hot months, but just as soon as the frost has tinged the leaves on the New York state hillsides with their russet and gold color; when wild grapes are ready to eat and the open- ng chestnut burrs drop their .fruit apon the ground, look out for some developments, for, no matter if they now seem to have no chance of winning in the election, the Democrats are going to have just as much fun as any specialty.

The caterer should not, however, lose. Those who ate and drank the good things furnished by him should dig down in their pockets and pay for it. That, of course, would come close to breaking the hearts of several of the party who seized with avidity the chance to get a $3 meal at the expense of the city, but who would have contented themselves with a 5c or a 10c sandwich at most if they had to pay for the refreshments themselves. o WE WILL BUY YOU A HOME.

As to the liquor portion of the bill, which amounted to $16, the council showed a wonderful amount of inconsistency.

It appears that the senator engaged, or backed up the servees of Mr. Owen, in looking into several alleged cases of polygamy and that Charlie went to work with the glad knowledge that whatever he did would be paid for. But the wise ones say that when Owen presented his bill that Kearns, as usual, kicked on the amount; declared it was too high, and averred that he would not pay it. Oh, what a man Tom is, to be sure. Why does he welsh on these little affairs as he does? Why isnt he a dead game sport? Whats the use of backing up on every money proposition that comes along? Oh, Tommy, Tommy, how could you do it?
