Hearst, but the mere fact that such a character 1 Is able to make a nice showing of strength Is KbI enough to unsettle confidence in the Democratic mH party in these commonwealths."

The money end is understood and appreel- H ated by all the cheap grafters who have received H it. The lawlessness comprehends an attack upon H property, industry and order. It classifies practi- H cally all enterprise as vicious and provokes ani- M mosity and menace towards interests whose wel- H fare is of more importance to the poor than to the H H There is much more of the same kind of rea- M soning and invlctive, but nevertheless the De- H mocracy of Chicago has decided to send Hearst 9h delegates to St. Louis. Hot waves are not infre- BhI quent in St. Louis and one can be looked forward jH to with great confidence when that convention J meets. H |
