[Special Washington Letter.]
The great historic event at Kansas
City July 4 is a fit companion piece to
the great historic event at Philadelphia
July 4,1776.
On the latter date the Magna Charta
of human liberty, written by tho fa?
ther of the Democratic party, was pro?
claimed to all the world.
On the former date the political de?
scendants of that man met at Kansas
City to take counsel together to pre?
sent the principles enunciated in that
famous state paper-the most famous
ever traced by uninspired pen-from
perishing from the earth, for if the
Democrats do not preserve the ideas
contained in the Declaration of Inde?
pendence they will not be preserved at i
alL Therefore it is eminently meet and
proper that the Democratic convention
should meet in this year of grace on
the glorious Fourth, and as the repub?
lic itself sprang from the meeting at
Philadelphia let us hope that the things
done and the forces set in motion at
Kansas City will save this great people
from imperialism and all the curses
therein contained.
Imperialists mouth a good deal be?
cause we set our convention for the
Fourth of July. St. Jefferson's day. but
our reply to that is, "The better the
day the better the deed," and surely
there can be no better day for the re?
vival of patriotism and genuine robust
Americanism which we are inaugurat?
ing and which will sweep the country
from sea to sea.
A Democrat made the day immortal.
Certainly Deniccrats have a right to
use the sentiment appertaining thereto
for the salvation of their country.
Jefferson and Bryan are a century
apart in time. They are twins in theo?
ries of government. Both are great
tribunes of the people.
Jefferson and Bryan.
In his day Jefferson was compelled i
to fight monarchists. Bryan is now do?
ing the same.
Jefferson was abused as a dema?
gogue, mountebank and anarchist. He
is now universally conceded to have
been the profoundest philosopher that
ever devoted his life to statesmanship.
Bryan is now denounced, as was his
great exemplar, as a demagogue, moun?
tebank and anarchist. The historian
of our times will place him in the front
rank of statesmen and patriots.
Jefferson and Bryan each exerts vast
influence over their countrymen. Jef?
ferson was not an orator. He depend?
ed entirely upon the pen for the dis?
semination of his ideas. Bryan is the
greatest living orator, perhaps the
greatest that ever lived. Nevertheless
he is also "cunning with his pen," as
old John Adams declared Jefferson to i
be.
Thc- proverb "A constant dropping
will wear the hardest stone away" ex?
plains to a large extent the widespread
influence of these two men. Jefferson
never rested. Bryan never rests. Each
is* an exemplification of perpetual mo?
tion. Each is a zealot in the cause of
Luman liberty, and each came to be
supreme in his party.
In Jefferson's day his party swallow?
ed all other parties, as Aaron's rod
swallowed the other rods, and an "era j
of good feeling" ensued. Under the I
leadership of Bryan that remarkable
performance in politics will be dupli?
cated.
There have been many other great!
Democrats whose fame is part of the
priceless treasures of the republic and
whose names should never be mention?
ed save with reverence and with grati?
tude to Almighty Uod for such stal?
wart friends of freedom, but if every
word written and spoken by all others
should perish from human memory
from the writings of Jefferson and the
speeches of Bryan we may obtain ev?
ery iota of the Democratic creed and
every argument necessary to support
our confession of political faith in any
forum of the world.
Jefferson, with wisdom, courage, pre?
science aud patriotism unequaled,
made the Louisiana purchase, the most
stupendous transaction in real estate
proposed on this earth since the devil
took the Saviour to the top of a high
mountain and offered him the domin?
ion of the world to fall down and wor?
ship him.
Principle? Reproelalmed.
It is entirely in keeping with the
eternal fitness of things that on the
one hundred and twenty-fourth anni?
versary of Jefferson's flay Jefferson's
party should assemble in the heart of
the vast domain which he added to the
Union, the richest under heaven, to re
proHaim his principles and to uomi
nair a successor \Viio will once m
make those principles paramount
the conduct of the government.
At Kansas City the unities aro j
served and the names ol* Jefferson s
l?ryan indissolubly linked together.
Each leaped into the circle of the '.
mortals at an early age. Jefferson
ing only 30 when he wrote the gr
Declaration, which will be tvad w
rapture as long as the earth revol?
upon its axis or slides down thc eel
tic. and Bryan being only 30 when
that astounding speech before the G
cago convention he not only snatel
the presidential nomination from 1
renowned ' veterans of his party. 1
also wrote his name on the scanty 1
of really great orators.
Jefferson was defeated in 179t". ele
ed in ISOn. re-elected in 1S04 and lt
the government in the hands of his ]
litical friends for half a century. Bi
an was defeated in 1S?X*. and, histc
repeating itself, he will be elected
1900. re-elected in 1004 and will tr?i
mit the government to a long line
successors of his political faith-o
political faith-the people's politic
faith-a consummation devoutly to
wished.
Candidate and Platform.
A great controversy is raging arno:
certain sapient editors as to which h
the more farreaching influence in ct
rying a presidential election, the oan<
date or the platform. Nobody can te
because nobody knows and because
is sometimes one, sometimes the oth
and sometimes neither. For instanc
in 1S40 neither candidate nor platfor
had much to do with the result. The
had been a panic, and in a delirium t]
people sang General William Hen:
Harrison into the White House with
lot of doggerel which has created a
tonishment and merriment ever sine
In 1S44 the platform, or. more proper
speaking, a letter written by Hem
Clay, gave the victory to James 1
Polk. In 184S General Taylor's mi!
tary prestige and a split in the Dem
eratic party crowned the hero of Buer
Vista with the greatest civic honor
Nobody paid any attention to the pla
form. Nobody knew what Taylor
opinions were on political question
Indeed he did not know himself, bi
he had walloped the Mexicans in
most astounding manner, he was niel
named "Old Rough and Ready,"
fetching sobriquet, and sly Martin Va
Buren out of revenge deftly inserte
his poisoned dagger under the fifth ri
of the ponderous General Cass. I
1S52 the platform was the chief thin
which enabled Brigadier Frankli
Pierce to snatch the coveted pri2
from Lieutenant General Winfiel
Scott, the hero of Lundy's Lane. Chun
busco and a score of stricken field:
In 1S60 the platforms were everything
the candidates nothing except as expc
nents of the platform. In 18S4 the ?
suit came of the malice of Rosco
Conkling and the alliteration of Parso
Burchard. Jackson was elected in 1S2
by reason of his matchless achiev(
ment at New Orleans and re-elected i
1S32 because he stood for the rights o
"the plain people," as Lincoln denom
nated them: "the common people," a
Bryan loves to call them. In neithe
case did he need any platform save hi
own record, and I doubt whether anv
body paid the least attention to th
platform. The cry was "Hurrah fo
Jackson!" and it was irresistible. I;
at least Laif the cases presidents h av
been elected by vis inertia?- "Thing
are all right, let them alone."
Une curious result of Martin Van Bu
ron's caper in 1S4S was that the nam*
of Van Kuren county in Missouri wa:
changed to Cass and that of Kinder
hook to Benton. Missourians take pol
ities seriously and never fail t<> punisl
infidelity to the party. A man in Mis
souri could no more duplicate the re
cent somersaults of Hon. Joseph c
Sibley of Pennsylvania than he coule
fly. Attempting that role a Missouriai
would have to "begin at the foot of tia
class and spell up" for 20 years.
In the present instance Bryan needi
no platform. He is a platform in him?
self. Everybody knows what he stands
for and for that very reason will clod
him with a whoop. In electing hin:
they know precisely what they are get
ting. They are not buying a pig in a
poke. They also know he will do what
he says, for while the average citizen
may not be able to talk the jargon o?
physiognomy he judges men "by their
flesh marks," and no man ever gazed
into Bryan's handsome face and beheld
his high bridge nose, his magnificent
eyes and his square underjaw without
knowing that he possesses incorrupti?
ble honesty, leonine courage and un?
conquerable resolve. Hence they trust
him; hence he needs no platform.
AN to Traitors.
Old King David once exclaimed An his
wrath, "All men are liars!" If he were
on earth again and should read divers
and sundry Republican newspapers, he
could with perfect truth and in high
good humor say, "Many men are liars."
These pestiferous organ grinders and
slanderers for revenue only declare
day after day by the He direct or the
lie oblique that all who are opposing
the McHanna policy of imperialism are
traitors. Such men as Bryan, Hoar,
Schurz. George S. Boutwell, Mason,
John B. Henderson. Teller and a host
of other Republicans of distinction op?
pose it tooth and nail, thus bringing
upon themselves the abuse of these
base maligners because they love their
country hotter than their party.
Nearly all the original leaders of the
Republican party are In their graves,
in retirement or in revolt. No wonder
they kick because the acts of injustice
committed by the McHanna adminis?
tration are piled ujKm each other like
Pelion upon Oss.-i. till they cry to heav?
en for redress -injustice to the cohfid
I lng Porto Ricans, who welcomed the
j American army with songs of gladness
! on their lips, who strewed the pathway
! of our soldiers with flowers and who
j hailed OM Glory as the emblem of free
I dom and equality; injustice to the Cu
? ban patriots who fought as valiantly
for their liberties as oar fathers fought
at Lexington. Hunker Hill. King's
Mountain. Eulah. Yorktown or New
?rlVaris: injustice to the Filipinos, who
fought side by side with American sol?
diers to tear their sim kissed archipela?
go from the iron grasp ol' Spain: Fhjus
tiee to tho brave and heroic Roers, who
modeled their governments upon ours
and who aro battling; men. women and
children, for ail tho human heart holds ,
dear with courage, fortitr.de and self
abnegation rarely equaled and never j
surpassed, but above all injustice, rank j
injustice, to the American people, who
in a moment of temporary mental aber- j
ration gave into their unfaithful hands i
and itching palms the mighty and mul?
tifarious powers of the most puissant
government the sun has looked down
upon since the world began.
McKinley's Dna! Role.
As far as in him lies William McKin?
ley has brought representative govern?
ment into disrepute by endeavoring to
play the dual role of president of the
United States and emperor ol' the Phil?
ippine islands. But his days in the
White Ii ouse are numbered. Ile sees
the handwriting on the wall. With
foresight which is commendable he is
remodeling, refitting and enlarging his
Canton cottage. That is perhaps the
wisest act of his life, as he will have
pressing need for it after high noon,
March 4. 1901, when Bryan will be in?
augurated, ushering in the twentieth
century, as the nineteenth was ushered
in. with a Democratic administration.
Civil Service Penwion*.
Even such a valiant thick and thin
organ grinder as the New York Trib?
une has found something in Republic?
an doings which causes its gorge to
rise, which is most remarkable, unless
Mr. Whitelaw Reid is raising a gentle
rumpus for the purpose of reminding
Brother McKinley that it is about time
to pass the pie toward The Tribune of?
fice once more. However that may be,
The Tribune is kicking vigorously
about the project to pension those hold?
ing places under the New York civil
service law after 25 years' service. The
Tribune says that these would be pen?
sioners have formed a society or close
corporation and purpose to enter poli?
tics as a flying squadron of pie hunters,
voting for those who will agree to raise
their wages and grant them pensions
and against those who refuse so to do.
The paper founded by Horace Greeley
denounces them as public enemies, de?
clares that there are now 3,500 of them,
soon to be increased to GO.OOO, and pro?
nounces their movements to be alto?
gether reprehensible.
Now. there never was a man with
two ideas above a mud turtle who did
not know that the civil service system
inevitably leads to a pension list from
the civil walks of life, and yet The
Tribune, which now denounces these
people for doing what everybody knew
they would do. is a thick and thin sup?
porter of the system and a loud shouter
for Colonel "Teddy" Roosevelt, who is
facile princeps of civil service reform?
ers, provided he can reform his politi?
cal friends into good fat offices. The
Tribune may howl as much as it
pleases now. lt is too late.
Mr. 11 ern m i n?w ay of Indiana declar?
ed boldly and unequivocally on the
floor of the house that 10 per cent of ali
the clerical force in Washington is in?
capacitated by reason of the infirmities
of old rge from doini: any work what?
soever, and yet they draw their salaries
regularly, and nobody has choked off
one of them, though Ilemmingway said
that months ago. So The Tribune in?
stead of howling about one feature-an
inevitable feature-of a bad system
which it helped to inaugurate had bet?
ter study up the whole question anew,
go back to original principles and fight
the winde system.
Platt the F.asy ROM?.
The one Republican in the United
States who really deserves to be con?
gratulated on the outcome of the Phila?
delphia convention is Hon. Thomas C.
Platt, senior senator and easy boss of
New York. He had a broken rib, but
nevertheless his headpiece appears to
have been all right. He fought Mark
Hanna and routed him. unloading Colo?
nel Theodore Roosevelt on to the na?
tional ticket. He did not make sure of
electing the RepHblican state ticket by
eliminating "Teddy" as a gubernatorial
possibility, but he did undoubtedly im?
prove the chances of doing that trick
very much indeed. With Roosevelt as
candidate for jrovernor the Democrats
would probably have elected their state
ticket by ?"O.OOO majority. With some
other candidate the Democratic major?
ity will probably be cut to 20.000. Un?
less all signs of rain fail in dry weath?
er the Democrats will elect their state
ticket.
And what of Colonel Roosevelt?
There is no question but what he will
make an aggressive, whoop *em tip,
picturesque campaign. If he wins, he
will be shelved, the thing which would
please Platt. If he loses, he is a politi?
cal "has been," to borrow a term ex?
pressive if not elegant from the prize
ring, which would please Platt still
more. So Platt stands to get rid of his
young old man of the sea. So I repeat
that Senator Thomas G. Platt is to be
congratulated and he alone.
Perhaps the Republican platform is
the most Impudent document ever is?
sued for the perusal of an intelligent
people. The idea of that trust ridden
convention even pretending in a milk
and eider resolution to condemn trusts
was an exhibition of gall never equal?
ed on this earth. The claim that Re?
publicans have secured honest officials
in Cuba is humor broad enough to ex
rite the risibles of ali the convicts in
til the penitentiaries under the sun.
