G- O. P. Marked For a Tre? mendous Trouncing. MAEK CANT GET THE BOODLE Prominent Republicans Desert? ing McKinley. TEDDY AEOUSES NO ENTHUSIASM. Several Republican Congressmen In Iowa In Danger of Defeat-Si^n? Indicate That Hanna Is to Pe Made the Scapegoat of McKinley'? De? feat-Democratic Ontloak In Indi? ana-Zach Chandler's Scheme Re? vived-A Republican Editor*? Con? fession-Bryan's Reply to Hanna's (h^llenye. [Special Washington Letter.] Surely the G. 0. P. is headed for tue desee and marked for tue most as? tounding trouncing any party ever re? ceived at the hands of a long suffering and outraged people. Mark can't get his usual amount of boodle! Teddy ?an"t arouse any enthusiasm! And the chairman of the Iowa Republican state committee sends out a Macedonian cry to the postmasters and other federal papsuckers declaring that several Re? publican congressmen in Iowa are in great dan per of defeat! There has been no such mournful set as the Re? publicans are since the children of Is? rael hung their harps on,the willows and sat down by the waters of Babylon and wept Amazing Republican losses in Vermont: Surprising Republican bosses in Maine! Desertions of promi? nent Republicans everywhere is the sickening message which Mark is corn spelled to send to bis disheartened fol? lowers. ? ? "Pity the sorrows of a poor old man," ' ^appears to be Mark's appeal to the plu? tocrats. Calamities are crowding upon him so thick that one might sympa? thize with him if McHannaism were not the bane of our free government. It is written. "If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off." So it is infinitely better that Mark should go in humiliation to his politi? cal grave than that the republic should perish. Having Fon With Hanna. They are playing cru^l pranks with Mark these days. Some scientist out in Indiana, without the fear of lianna before his eyes, but animated by a waggish.^ perhaps patriotic, spirit, got hold of one of Mark's paid-spellbind? ers, hypnotized him and caused him to deliver a rousing Democratic speech! Since Mark has unexpectedly blossom? ed out as an orator he had better steer clear of that artist, or first thing he knows he will kimself be whooping it up for Bryan, IC to 1 and all. How all this must pester Mark, and yet nobody ?appears to be shedding any tears over his troubles. Even Republicans are beginning to complain of him and to . despitefully use him. My lecture mute -one of them-Hon. Charles li. Landis of Delphi. Ind.. thought it a winning card to induce Mark to orate in his town. Guess Charles did that with an eye to persuading Mark to'give him some of $he sinews of war. Mark in? vaded Delphi, orated, and now comes Governor Mount, who says that bring? ing Mark into Hoosierdom was a blun? der which a famous Frenchman on a momentous occasion declared to be worse than a crime. Governor Mount'? declaration is the "most unkindest" cut of ail and must bav caused the iron to enter Mark's sou!. Signs are accumu? lating that Mark is to be made the scapegoat for McKinley's impending defeat. He will share the lamentable fate Of one Jay IIubbell-Garfield*? "Dear Hubbell"-who sandbagged and held up the government officials and who was then thrown away like a sucked orange- disgraced, execrated, loathed. When McKinley is beaten, as he will be. all of the sins of all the Re? publicans will be loaded on to Mark's back, and he will b^ hated more enthu? siastically and more universally than any other man in America. A Job's Comforter. Even The Globe-Democrat, P thick anrf thin Republican organ grinder, has become a sort of Job's comforter for Mark and. speaking of West Virginia. say?. "The outlook is not so hopeful as the campaign Republican managers had hoped it would be." Again. The Globe-Democrat says, "The party lieu? tenants in the field say that hard work will be necessary for the salvation of the state." Again. The Globe-Democrat continues dolefully. "The result of the reports from West Virginia will be the immediate bracing UD of the Republic? an camonign in that state." Which means, I take it that Senator Stephen B. Elkins will import a few more car? loads of the colored mau and brother into the state and colonize them for fraudulent election purposes. Again, Tte Globe-Democrat remarks, "Litera? ture and speakers will be supplied, and the voters throughout the state will be awakened to a sense of the danger which seems to confront the party." No doubt The G lobe-Democrat has made a correct diagnosis of the disease aflaieting the G. O. P. in West Virginia, but it has prescribed the wrong reme? dy. What those sleepy or recalcitrant West Virginia Republicans need to re? suscitate them is not literature and speakers, but some of Mark's l>oodle. All this would make Mark's hair stand on end like quills U]H>U the fretful por? cupine if he had any Lair, which he "bas not. AIM the papers report that tue Old Iiarry is to pay In the gas Ix Indiana, where Mark expended gas. The trusts have been gettii their work ;:: thar region, shu down factories throwing people ?> employment and causing untold cry. And the simple Hoosiers ai unreasonable GS TO conclude that '2 2 make 4 and ?ne beginning to tal holding the Republican party resp ble for the calamities which the ti have brought upon them. The ] neets are that those benighted Hoo who are opposed to being robbe broad daylight will turn the state I to Bryan. Mark got his comb cut in ano way and from an unexpected qua. In his Delphi speech, in his swag ing. offensive, truculent way, he that he was ready to debate impe ism- with Bryan or any other Dc erat That sounded very brave Mark, and uo doubt his defiance received by the Indiana Republic with applause. But now comes Br: who declines to debate with Mark, goes after higher game, proposing debate with McKinley, a thing gre; desired by all good Democrats. Trouble In Iorra. Some weeks ago in one of these ters I stated that in my judgment Democrats of Iowa would redeem 1 congressional districts this fall. once sundry Republican papers jil] ed on me and said 1 was talk through my hat. It would appear : er all that I had some reason for t declaration and that the aforesaid publican editors were engaged speaking through their tiles when tl were bullyragging me. Hon. II. Weaver, chairman of the Iowa Rep lican state committee, is sending oui all Republican postmasters a let which he marks "very important" a which runs as follower I forward to voa todav package of literal which is thc firs; installment of campaign d< ments that will be sent you from now until day of election. 1 trust yo? will place them hand? of parties where thc will do the n pood. I a*so desire to call your attention to the n ter of your voluntary contribution to the ct paign fund, as I observe from the records that ; have not as yet responded lo my request for in the work being <3oae. You can see from documents that pass through your ofSce the cl: acter pi the work being done and which can completed only by increased won?, energy and pense. The Democrats are flooding the si?tc w literature and speakers and have raised a ca paign fund much larger than we can hope i They are mapping cut a campaign in iowa wh has alarmed our congressional nominees in t districts which they deemed comparatively sa Upon you and your associates rests the seri< personal responsibility of insuring your congi sional nominee a re-election. Don't throw t aside, but answer at or.ee. Claiming Everything:. Republican leaders are followii Zach Chandler s plan when he was li ing to steal the presidency for Hayes i. e., they are claiming everythin They are even idiots enough to clai Missouri. They have about as mut chance to carry Missouri as Democra have to carry Pennsylvania. 1 ha^ frequently referred to the Washingte Post as the most ably edited indepeni ent paper in America. Here is its d liberate judgment on the situation: Tf The RonubHcans read the signs cf the tim aright, if they fully appreciate thc importance recent political developments, they r.-.ust beg to recognize the fact that the coming president: election will be no ene sided affair and that M McKinley's triumph in November is anything b a foregone conclusion. There is a warning to tl party in thc Republican losses and Democrat cains in Vermont. \ similar ''ncrej-e in V. Democratic vote throughout the country will ci' several doubtful staten to Mr. Bryan. Hut mo j ??srniticar.t "hr.n thc election in Vermont is the r J tum to the Democratic party of such men as.* Secretary cf State Olney and ex-Postma.?ter Cei eral Wilson, two of the ablest and most conspic cus members cf Mr. Cleveland's last cabiii'-t, wi now openly espouse Mr. Bryan. With such ex?r? pies as these in high quarters the Rep?blica: may a? well prepare to lose the Cleveland vol which wa>> io largely recorded for sound money i 1SO0. Prominent exceptions are to be found. < course, but it is nevertheless an obvious trot that the ifeat majority of gold Democrats-i nfl i cntial mm who supported Palmer and Buckner c .voted for Mr. McKinley four years ago-are no in line with their party. Possibly they are takin this step chiefly because of a desire to see the; party rehabilitated for 1904 and without any coi fidence in immediate success. b?t whatever th motives that prompt them, whatever their hope and ambitions, their defection ?ill count hean! in November against th* party in power. The campaiirn. though net fairly under way, ha already demonstrated ?hat our Philippine nolie is to be a big if not the overshadowir.se issue c this campaign. The Republicans must meet i unevasively. They rannot dodge it if they would Moreover, the labor situation promises to muk the vote of the workingman much more uncertai and less easily controlled than it was in lSi*G. Eight year? a?o. at this stase of the presidentia campaign, the outlook for Republican success wa everv bit as auspicious fis ic is today, but Mr Harrison, whose administration was a model ii all respects and who was and is one of the great est Americans cf his dav, went down to defett tb worst beaten Republican candidate of moder: times. The Republican ma na eera cannot afford to over look this lesson of history at tte opening of th? present fight. Fa^or? a Monarchy. While most of the imDerialists beal about the bush and haven't the cour? age to draw the inevitable conclusion deducible from their oremises, lt is re? freshing to fiud one of the piratical gang who has the courage of his con? victions and who honestly declares ir favor of a monarchy. Mr. K. Chavan ness. editor of the Des Moines Globe, a most ardent supporter of McKinley and Roosevelt, was recently interview? ed by o staff correspondent of th<? Omaha WorUMIerald with this as? tounding result: "Do you real'y favor a constitutional mon? archy as the government for this country. Mr. Chavann^ssT* "1 most ns*ored'- do. Why, wvat is the differ? ence between a rorvstitutional monarchy and the kind of a government we have now? Who is pay? ing ?ny attention to the constitution?

Republican Treis much kotier ?'<.: ing declared himself openly. It will be remembered by those terested in j>:?litics that {'mi!- years ago the Republicans were suspected and accused of desiring the single gold standard. They declared it u> bc a false and monstrous charge, maintain? ing that they were bimetallists- the only true bimetallists-in fact, they were the real thing and we the base imitation. Then they passed a law placing us upon the single gold stand? ard. Nov.'. in this matter of suspected monarchial bee buzzing in the bonnet of William the Uncertain, we, in the language of Patrick Henry, have ' no light by which our feet are guided save by the lamp of experience." But in this matter of the kingly aspirations of our own "Imperial Bill" the majority of Republicans deny the soft Impeach? ment in but a half hearted way, while some, like this Des Moines editor, de? clare openly for the kingdom. Think of it: If they would pass a gold standard bill after all the vehe? ment denials and the tall lyjng of 1S0G, they will give us "a king by divine right" in six months after another vic? tory at the polls. A Brainy Democrat. Democrats everywhere will be glad to know that the Democrats of the Austin district of Texas have renomi? nated Hon. T. S. Burleson for congress. He is a most excellent and promising young Democrat, with brains in his head and reliable as Caesar's Tenth le? gion. I serve on the same committee with Burleson-the great committee on foreign affairs-and know that he is as faithful to his principles and his people as is the needle to the pole. The Aus? tin district acts with great good sense. It will have none but a first class ulan and Democrat to represent it For years that stalwart statesman Joseph 1). Sayres, now governor of Texas, rep? resented the capital district of the Lone Star State. When he quit volun? tarily, Burleson succeeded him, and Burleson maintains the prestige of the district. Surely the Philippine war is being conducted on a most peculiar plan. We are offering $30 apiece for every gun surrendered, but nevertheless Cap? tain D. H. Allen reports that in all the province of Batangas. containing 200. 000 people, not a gun. old or new. good, bad or indifferent has been voluntarily given up. j Bryan's Brightest. Of all the good things that Bryan has said-and they are for multitude as the stars of the heavens or the sand upon the seashore-his reply to Mark lian? na's challenge for a debate is one of the very brightest He said: "I am un? willing to debate with any one whose responsibilities are not so great as my own. If I am elected, I will be presi? dent Now. if the Republican commit? tee will certify that in the event of Mr. McKinley's election Senator Hanna is to be president I will cheerfully de? bate with him." , Now, this is not only terse, straight from thi.> shoulder and full of wisdom, but it also contains a great deal of hu? mor, a quality in which Bryan has been supposed to be ?'ather deficient A home thrust was mad J at Mark and Mack in such a neat and polite manner that no one can take exceptions to it not even the victims themselves though every one understands per? fectly well what he meant. It would be worth a good deal t<> know exactly what Mark thought of that when he read it and whether he didn't wish that he hadn't issued his defiance to Bryan. Mark's predicament reminds me of what one of my newspaper constitu? ents. Harr.v C. Turner, once said: "I never attempt to say anything 'smart' to the other fellow without first pausing and asking myself what he might say by way of retort." This mot by Mr. Turner I regard as very fine and philosophic, and while I am not Mark's spiritual, political or legal adviser 1 cheerfully commend it to his consideration. Store Ia Xo Come On. A recent issue of the Washington Post contained this editorial squib: We sincerely hope that no unfeeling artist vrM unload a batch of green jr^ods upon the Hen. Bil! .Joe! Stone while he ia in New York trying to watch the Plstt machine. Evidently the gentleman who wrote that squib has no intimate personal acquaintance with the Hon. William Joel Stone and has only regarded him at long range. I violate no confidence whatever when I state that the Hon. William Joel is like Major Joe Bag stock-"sly, sir, devilish sly"-and if any New York artist undertakes to un? load green goods on William Joel Mis? sourians without regard to race, condi? tion or previous condition are willing j to bet their sesterces upon the proposi? tion that the green goods artist will get the worst of it. We don't like to have our great Missouri Democrat sneered at in any such manner by the Wash? ington Post or any one else and resent it as an insult to the Democracy of Missouri. Governor Stone is engaged in the great work of harmonizing the New York Democrats, who appear to have been crossed with the Kilkenny cats at an early day. The job that he has undertaken is on a par with the twelve labors of Hercules. If William Joel succeeds in this monumental task, he will deserve 'veli of his country. Uta Theory.
