(8pecial Washington Letter.] The great historic event at Kansas City July 4 la a fit companion piece to the great historic event at Philadelphia joiy 4, me. On the latter date the Magna < harta of human liberty, written by the fa? ther of the Democratic party, was pro? claimed to all the world. On the fo.xner date the political de? scendants of that man met at Kansas City to take counsel together to pre? vent 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 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 ?one 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 ?or reply to that Is. "The tietter 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 Democrst made the day immortal. Certainly Dciutrrats have a rlgl t to use the sentiment appertaining thereto for the salvatlou of their country. Jefferson and Bryan are a century apart In time. They are twins In theo? ries of government. Both are Kreut tribunes of the people. Jrflrrion and Bryan. In his day Jefferson was compelled to fleht monarchist*. Bryan la now do? ing the same. Jefferson was abused hh a dema? gogue, mountebank and anarchist. He Is now universally conceded to have been the profouudest philosopher that ever devoted his life to statesmanship. Bryan Is now denounced, as was his great exemplar, us a demagogue, moun? tebank and anarchist. The historian of our times will place him In the front rank of statesmen and patriots. Jefferson an<1 Bryan each exerts vast influence over their countrymen. Jef? ferson was not an orator. He depend? ed entirely upon the pen for the dls semlnstlcn of his Ideas. Bryan Is the greatest living orator, perhsps the grestest that ever lived. Nevertheless he Is also "cunning with his pen." as old John Adams declared Jefferson to he. The proverb "A constant dropping will wear the hardest stone away" ex? plains to a Urge extent the widespread Influence of these two men. Jefferson never rested. Itryan never rests. Each la an exemplification of i>erpctual mo? tion. Kach i? a zealot In the cause of human liberty, and each csme to be supreme In his party. In Jefferson's day hia party swallow? ed all other parties, ns Aaron'a rod swsllowcd the other rods, and an "era of good feeling" ensued. t'nder the leadership of Bryan that remarkable performance In politics will be dupli? cated. There have beeu 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 snd with gratl tude to Almighty tlod 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 Jefferaon and the ?^?eechea of Bryan we may obtain ev? ery lota of the Democratic creed and every argument neceasary to support our confession of political faith In any forum of the world. Jefferaon. with wisdom, courage, pre science and patriotism unequaled. sssde the Louisiana purchase, the moat stapoodoua transaction In real estate proposed on this earth since the devil took the Saviour to the top of a high mountain and offered hint the domin? ion of the world to fall down and wor? ship him. Prloetples flepreelalsaesl. It Is entirely in keeping with i he eternal fitness of Milng* thnt on the one hundred and twenty-fourth anni? versary of Jefferson's day Jefferson's party should sasemble In the heart of the vaat domain which he added to the Union, the richest under heaven, to R*> proclaim his principles and to uoni nute a success,u w no will 01100 untre make those principles Paramount in the lINldVl'l Of the government. At Kansas rity the unities are pre served and the names of Jefferson ami Bryan lidlMoltiblj linked together. Kuch leaped Into the elfclf of the bn mortals at an early aye. Jefferson he lug only H when he wrote the great Declaration, which wi 1 he read with rapture as long as the earth revolves upon Its nxis or slides down Iba cdlp tic. and Bryan being only 88 when In that astounding speech before the Chi? cago convention he not only snatched the presidential nomination from the renowned'veterans of his patty, but also wrote his name on the scanty list of really great orators. Jefferson was defeated In 1700, elect? ed In 1800. re-elected In ISO I and left the government In the bands of his po? litical friends for half a century, Bry an was defeated In lSOO. and, history repeating itself, he will be elected in 1000, re-elected in 1004 and will trans? mit the government to a long line of successors of his political faith?our political faith?the people's political faith?a consummation devoutly to be wished. Candidate and Platform. A grent controversy is raging among certain sapient editors us to which has the more farreaching influence in car? rying a presidential election, the candi? date or the platform. Nobody can tell, because nobody knows and because it Is sometimes one, souietimes the other and sometimes neither. For instance, In 1840 neither candidate nor platform had much to do with the result. There had been a panic, and in a delirium the people sang General William Henry Harrison Into the White House with a lot of doggerel which has created as? tonishment and merriment ever since. In 1844 the platform, or, more properly speaking, a letter written by Henry Clay, gave the victory to James K. Polk. In 1S48 General Taylor's mili? tary prestige and a split in the Demo? cratic party crowned the hero of Buena Vista with the greatest civic honors. Nobody paid any attention to the plat? form. Nobody knew what Taylor's opinions were on political questions. Indeed he did not know himself, but he had walloped the Mexicans In a most astounding manner, he was nick? named "Old Hough and Ready," a fetching sobriquet, and sly Martin Van Buren out of revenge deftly Inserted his poisoned dagger under the fifth rib of the ponderous General Cass. In 1852 the platform was the chief thing which enabled Brigadier Franklin Pierce to snatch the coveted prize from Lieutenant General Wlnfield Scott, the hero of Lundy'a Lane, Churu busco and a score of sTieken fields. In 1860 the platforma were everything, the candidates nothing except as expo? nents of the platform. Ia 1884 the re? sult came of the malice of Hoacoe Conkllng and the alliteration of Parson Burchard. Jackson was elected In 1828 by reason of his matcblesa achieve? ment at New Orleans and re-elected In 1832 because he stood for the rights of "the plain people," as Lincoln denomi? nated them; "the common people,' as Bryan loves to cal' them. In neither case did he need any platform save his own record, and I doubt whether any? body paid the least attention to the platt.Tin. The cry was "Hurrah for Jackson!" and it was irresistible. In at least half the cases presidents have b*?*?n elected by vis llltftlge "Tiling! tire all right, let them alone." One curious result of Martin Van Bu ren's caper in 1S4S was that the name of Van Buren county in Missouri was changed to Cass and thut of Kinder hook to Beaton. Missourians take pol? ities seriously and never fail to punish 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 could fly. Attempting that role a Missourian woultl have to "begin nt the foot of the class and spell up" for 20 yeurs. In the present Instance Bryan needs no platform. He is u platform in him? self. Everybody knows what he stands for and for that very reason will elect him with a whoop. In electing him they know precisely what they ore get? ting. They are not buying a pig in a poke. They also know he will do what be says, for while the uverage citizen may not Im? able to talk the jargon of physiognomy he Judges men "by their flesh marks," and no man ever gazed Into Bryan's handsome face and beheld his high bridge nose, ids magnificent eyes und 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. Am to Traitors. Old King David once exclaimed \n his wrath, VAU men are llara!" 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 alanderera for revenue only declare day after day by the lie direct or the lie oblique that all who are opposing the Mcllanna policy of Imperialism are traitors. Such men as Bryan, Hoar, Schurz. George S. Boutwell, Maaon, John B. Henderson, Teller and a host of other Republicans of distinction op? pose It tooth and nail, thua bringing upon themselves the abuse of these bsae tnallgners because they love their country letter than their party. Nearly all the original leadera of the Republican party are In their graves, In retirement or In revolt. No wonder they kirk because the acts of injustice committed by the Mcllanna ndralnls trat Ion are piled utsm each other like Pellon upon Ossa. till they cry to heav? en for redress injustice to the confid? ing Porto Hiram-. who welcomed the? American army with songs of gladness on their lips, who strewed the pathway of our soldiers with flowers und who hailed Old Glory a-, the emblem of free? dom and equality; injustice to the t u ban patriots who fought as valiantly for their liberties as our fathers fought at Lexington. Banker Hill. King's Mountain. Kutub. Yorktown or New Orfrana; Injustice to the Filipinos, who (ought side by sid?i with American sol dins to tear their sun kissed archipela? go from the Iron grasp of Spain; injus tlee to the brave and heroic Boars, who modeled their governments upon ours and who arc battling, men, women and Children, for all the human heart holds dear with courage, fortitude and self abnegation rarely equaled and never surpassed, but above all injustice, rank Injustice, to the American people, who in a moment of temporary mental aber? ration gate Into their unfaithful hands ml Itching palms the mighty and mul ifarious powers of the most puissant government the sun has looked down upon since the world began. McKinley'? Dual 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 of the Phil? ippine Islands. But his days in the White House are numbered. He 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 Pension*. 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 so <ety or close corporation and purpose io 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 G0.000, 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 clv.l 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. It is too late. Mr. Hemmlngway of Indiana declar? ed bcldly and unequivocally on the floor of the house that 10 per cent of all the clerical force in Washington is in? capacitated by reason of the infirmities of old .-ge from doing 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 whole system. Plait the F.any Horn*. The one Republican In the United States who really deserves to be con? gratulated on the outcome of the Phila? delphia convention is lion. 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 Republican 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 governor the Democrats would probably have elected their state ticket by 50,000 majority. With some other candidate the Democratic major? ity will probably be cut to 'J5.000. Un? less all signs of rain fall 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 'eci up, 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 1 repeat that Senator Thomas 0, 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 cider 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? cite the rlslbles of all the convicts In ?11 the penitentiaries under the sun. Well Trained.
