De. feat?Da ???ratio Oatl<?ojk la indi aaa?lach Chandler'* Scheme Re? efer*?A ttepaalleaa Editor** Cob fee*lee?Bryan's Reply to Uanaa'a Caalleare. [Special Washing ton Utter.] Snroly the G. O. P. is beaded for the deuce and marked for the most as? tounding trouncing any party ever re? ceived at the bauds of a long suffering and out rased people. Mark can't get his usual amount of boodle! Teddy can't arouse any enthusiasm! And the chairman of the Iowa llepubllcan state committee rends out a Macedonian cry to the postmasters and other federal papeuckers declariug that several Re ejgbilcnn congressmen iu Iowa are In great danger of defeat! There has bean no auch mournful set as the R? pabllcsns are since the children of Ta rael hung their harps on .the wlliows and sat down by the waters of Babylon and wept Amazing Republican losses In Vermont! Surprising Republican *Toeess In Maine! Desertioni of promi? nent Repu llcnns everywhere is the alckenlng mt%age which Murk Is com nailed to send to b>s dlsteartened fol sower*. g "Pity the sorrows of a pool old man." appears to be Mark's appeal to the plu? tocrats. Calamities are crowding upon film so thick that one might sympa? thise with him If McIInnn.ilsm w*?re not the ba^e of our free government. It la written. "If thy right h.tnd offend ?hoe. cut It off." So it Is Infinitely better tust Mark should go in humiliation to his politi? cal grave than that the repot lie should perfeb. Raring Paa With Hanaa. They are playing cruel prt.nks with Mark these days. Some scientist out In Indians, without the fear of ilannn ma. hfs before hfs eyes, but animated by n waggish, perhaps pntrlotio. iptrlt. got bold of one of Mark's paid ? spellbind? ers, hypnotized him and caused him to deliver n rousing Democratic? speech! Mince Mark has unexpectedly blossom? ed out as an orator he had better steer clear of that artist, or first thin- be knows be will kimself be whooping it up for Bryan. 10 to 1 nnd till. How all this miiat pester Mark, ami yet nobody ?appear* to be shedding ai-.y tears over Ms troubles. Ptvaej Republican* BJl tVglnnlng to complain of him and to dcsprtefully use blm. My lecture mate ?one of them?Hon. Charles R, Landis of Delphi. Ind.. thought It a winning card to Induce Mark to orate in his town. Guess Charles did that with an aye to persuading Mark to'give him some of the sinews of war. Marie In? vaded Delphi, orated, nnd now comes Go?*rrnor Mount, who snys that bring Ina Mark Into Hooslenlom wa* a blun? der which a famous Frenchman on a momentous occasion declared to be worse than a crime. Governor Mount'* declaration Is the "moat unkind est" cut of all and mnat bnv* caused the iron to eoter Mark's .-?on!. Signs are accumu? lating that Mark la to be made the ecapegoat for McKlnley'a Impending defeat lie will share the lamentable fate bf one .lay Hubbell?Garfleld'* "Dear Hubbell"?who sandbagged and bell up the government officials and who was then thrown away like a sucked orange?disgraced, execrated, loa'hed. When McKlnlev Is beaten, as he will tie. all of the sins of all the Re publleans will he Ion.led on to Mark's back, nnd he will l*? bated more enthu? siastically nnd more universally than any other man In America. A Je?'? Comforter. Even The Globe-Democrat P thick an?1 thin Republican organ grinder, bar become a sort of Job's comforter for Mark and. apeaking of Weat Virginia, aay*. "The outlook la not ao hopeful as the campaign Republican inansgera tind hoped It would be." Again. The Globe -Democrat say a, "The party lieu? tenants In the field st*y that hard work wll' 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 no of the Republic? an camnilgn In that state." Which mean a. I take It that Senator Stephen B. Blklns will Impor. a few more car loads of the colored man and brother Into the state and colonize then for fraudulent election purposes. Again. Tfce Globe-Democrat remarks. "Litera? ture and speaker* will lie aupplle 1. and the voters throughout the state vill he awakened to a sense of the 4 anger which seems to confront the partv." No doubt The Globe-Democrar has made a correct diagnosis of the disease afflicting the G. O. V. in West Virginia, but It haa prescribed the wrong reme? dy. What those sleepy or recalcitrant Cast Virginia Republicans need to re scltste them Is not literature and speakers, but some of Mark's b ><>dle. All this would mske Mark's hair stand oo end like quills upon the fretful por? cupine If he had rny hair, which he not Ami tiio papers report that too very Old Harry is to pay in too gas belt In Indiana, whore Mark expended Iiis gas. Tin trtttti hnve been getting In their work in that region, shutting down factories, throwing people out of employment and causing untold mis? ery. And the simple Iloosiers are so unreasonable as to conclude that 2 and I make 4 nnd are beginning to talk of holding the Iteptthliean party responsi? ble for the calamities which the trusts have brought upon them. The pros? pects are that those benighted Iloosiers who are opposed to being robbed in broad daylight will turn the state over to Bryan. Mark got his comb cut in another way nnd from an unexpected quarter. In his Delphi speech. In his swagger? ing, offensive, truculent way, be said that he was ready to debate Imperial? ism with Bryan or any other Demo? crat That sounded very brave in Mark, and uo doubt his defiance was received by the Indiana Republicans with applause. But now comes Bryan, who declines to debate with Mark, but goes after higher game, proposing to debate with McKinley, a thing greatly desired by all good Democrats. Trouble In Iowa. Some weeks ago In one of these let? ters I stated that In my judgment the Democrats of Iowa would redeem two congressional districts this fall. At once sundry Republican papers jump? ed on me and said 1 was talking through my hat It would appear aft? er all that I had some reason for that declaration and that the aforesaid Re? publican editors were engaged in speaking through their tiles when they were bullyragging me. Hon. H. O. Weaver, chairman of the Iowa Repub? lican state committee, Is sending out to all Republican postmasters a letter which he marks "very Important" and which runs as follows: 1 forward to you today package of literature which is the first installment of campaign docu? ments that will be sent you from now until the day of election. 1 trust yo?i will place them in hands of parties where the will do the most pood. I alto derire to call your attention to the mat tar of your voluntary contribution to the cam? paign fund, as 1 obeerve from the records that you tisve not at yet responded to my request for aid a the work being done. You can acc from the documents that paaa through your office the char? acter of the work being done and which can be completed only by Increased woflf, energv and ey penae. The Democrats are flooding the Kale with literature and speakers and have raised a cam? paign fund much larger than we can hope for. They are mapping out a campaign in Iowa which has slarm<>J our eoticressioral nominees in the districts which the,, deemed comparatively safe. Upon you and your associates rests the serious personal responsibility .of insuring your congres? sional nominee a re-election. Don't throw this aside, but answer at once. Claiming Kverythlns. Republican leaders are following Zach Chandler's plan when he was fix? ing to steal the presidency for Hayes? 1. e., ?hey nre claiming everything. They nre even Idiots enough to claim Missouri. They have about as much chance to carry Missouri as Democrats have to carry Pennsylvania. 1 have frequently referred to the Washington Tost ns the most ably edited independ? ent paper In America. Here is Its de? liberate judgment on the situation: 'f the Republicans re.nl the signs of the times aright, if they fully appreciate the importance of recent political developments, they must begin to recognize the fart that the coming presidential election will be no one sided affair and that Mr. McKinlcv's triumph in November is anything but a foregone conclusion. There is a warning to the party in the Republican losses and Democratic ?rains in Vermont. \ similar increase in the Democratic vote throughout the country will ?ive several doubtful state* to Mr. Bryan. Uut more significant Minn the election in Vermont is the re? turn to the Democratic party of such men a* ex Secretary of State Olney and ex-Postmaster Gen? eral Wilson, two of the ablest and most conspicu? ous members of Mr. Cleveland's last cabinet, who now openly espouse Mr. Bryan. With such exam plea as these in Mgh quarters the Republicans may as well prepare to lose the Cleveland vote which was so largely recorded for sound money in 180C. Prominent exceptions are to be found, of course, but it is nevertheleta an obvious truth that the great majority of gold Democrats?influ? ential me.' who supported Palmer and Buckncr or voted for Mr. McKinley four years ago?sre now in line wit i their party. Possibly they are taking this step c deny because of a desire to see their party "!habli.*ated for 1904 and without any con? fidence in immediate success, but whatever the motives that prompt them, whatever their hope* and ambitions, their defection will count heavily (n November against the party in power. The campaign, though not fairly . ' r way, hat already demonstrated that our Philippine policy ia to be a big if not the overshadowing issue of this campaign. The Republicans must meet it unevasively. They cannot dodge it if they would. Moreover, the labor situation promises to make the vote of the workingman much more uncertain and l?f* easily controlled than it waa in 1890. Eight year* ago. at this stage of the presidential camnaign. the outlook for Republican succesa waa evcrv bit as auspicious as it is today, but Mr. Harrison, whose administration was a model in all respects and who was and is one of the great? est Americana of his dav, went down to detent the worst beaten Republican candidate of modern times. The Republican managers cannot afford to over? look this leason of history at the opening of the present Aght. Pa*ors a Monarchy. While most of the Imoerlnllsts beat about the biuh nnd haven't the cour? age to draw the inevitable conciuslou deduclble from their oremlaes. It Is re? freshing to Mud one of the piratical gang who has the courage of his con? victions and who honestly declares In favor of a monarchy. Mr. K. Chavan nesa. editor of the Des Molnes Globe, a most ardent supporter of McKinley and Roosevelt, waa recently Interview? ed by r? staff correapondeut of tho Omaha World-Herald with this as? tounding result: "Do you really favor a constitutional mon? archy as the government for this country, Mr. Chavannetsf" "1 moat sseured'y do. Why wwat la the differ? ence between a constitutional monarchy and the kind of a governtnen we have nowT Who is psy tng any attention to the constitution? We are governing Porto Rift outside of the constitution, governing the Philippines outride of the -onstitu tton. and what's the matter with governing the whole thing the same way?that is, outride of the written *ittiti? n':" "I?o you think the tendency of the administra? tion's pc.licv I? hi Ihe direetior> mi the government vou advocate?" "To he nur? it Is. Covernm- nt. my dear sir, is fout.ded on property and romm ree. We csn boast of civil riichts and all that, hut government after all is founded upon property. Men acquire prop? erty am' then demand a government thst will rroteet them in their property rights. A consti? tutional monarchy does this an 1 at the same time enables mer to acquire property without senti? mental interference." "Do voa advocate the election of McKinley and Roosevelt " "I do earnestly and hosjestTy," "Do you advocate their election became you believe that their success Is a Staf) m tlx' direction of achieving what you bei ie\ e t<> \x: the proper tblng in go\ernment 1" ."l-do. Why shculd Uetuhlletns be sfrsid to ??Unit ii? Thi'y ii i.v uiitKi itiauiMOivo?, Init llivj dorn vr HO one ? Ist- \v!icu they pooh-pootl Ii Ii. ? pcriallim, I a:n ? i; lubltran, and ?hu i.; a Republican nawtpapor." An open confession being go cd for t?C soul, I suppose tili; Molins Republican feels muco better for bav ing declared himself opcr.ly, lt will be remembered by those in? terested in politics that Tour years ago the Republicans were suspected and accused of desiring the single gold standard. They declared it to he a false and monstrous charge, maintain? ing that they were bimetalllsts?the only true bimetalllsts?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. Now. In this matter of suspected monarchlal 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 189G, they will give us "a king by divine right" In six months after another vic? tory at the polls. A Dralny 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 Ca?sar'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 trtan and Democrat to represent It. For years that stalwart statesman Joseph D. S^nyres, now governor of Texas, rep? resented the capital district of the Lone Star State. When he quit volun? tarily, Burleson succeeded him, nnd Burleson maintains the prestige of the district. Surely the Philippine tvftr Is being conducted on a most peculiar plan. We are offering $.".0 apiece for every gun surrendered, but nevertheless Cap? tain D. II. 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. Ilryan'N Itrlsrlitest. 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 llan na's challenge for a debate Is one of the very brightest. He said: "I am un? willing to debate with any oue whose responsibilities are not so great as my 0Wn< If 1 am elected, 1 will be presi? dent. Now, if the Republican commit? tee will certify that in the event of Mr. McKlnlcy's election Senator Hanna Is to be president, 1 will cheerfully de? bate witli him." Now. this is not only terse, straight from tile shoulder and full of wisdom, but it also contains a great deal of hu? mor, a qualitv In which Bryan has been supposed to be rather deficient A home thrust was made 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 to know exactly what Mark thought of that when he read it nnd whether he didn't wish that he hadn't issued his defiance to Bryan. Mark's nredieament reminds me of what one of my newspaper constitu? ents, Harry C. Turner, once said: *T never attempt to say anything ?smart* to the other fellow without first pausing and asking myself what he might sny 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 la No Come On. A recent issue of the Washington Post OOOU ^1 this editorial squib: We sincerely nope that no unfeeling artist ?xill unload a batch ot Kreon good* upon the lion. UiI! Joel Stone while he i* in New York trying to watrh the IMrtt machine. Evidently the gentleman who wrote that squib has no intimate personal acquaintance with the Hon. William Joel Stone nud has only regarded him at long range. I violate no confidence whatever when 1 state that the Hon. William Joel Is like Major Joe Bag stock-"sly, sir, devilish sly"-and If sny New York artist undertakes to un? load green goods on William Joel Mis sourlans without regard to race, condi? tion or previous condition are willing to bet their sesterces upon the proposi? tion thst 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 nny one else and resent lt 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 btan crossed with the Kilkenny cats at nn early day. The Job that he has undertaken Is on n par with the twelve labors of Hercules. If William Joel succeeds hi this monumental task, he will deserve well of his country. Hin Theory.
