THE MALUSTER RESOLUTION
The significance nnd importance of the McAllister
resolution hits lieen nxiufgeriited bv many democrats
and by all republican anil lis meaning has been wit
tingly and unwillingly misunderstood Mr William
lonninRK llryan devotes u IwtiBlUy editorial to Ha de
nunulnllon Tliei Chnrleaton NewH and Courier dt
cuases II very nerlously and considers Hint whether
tho other Southern States will follow the leiul of Mis
sissippi is very doubtful Oilier Sonlhern papers
uontaln anxious commentary alllioiiwh tnany nppraise
the resolution at It true meaning und value The par
tlHnn ropubllcnn papers iiretend to be very Jubilant
Thoy have oxteuded their congratulaUoiiB to tho South
on breaking away from PryanlBin and the Kansas City
platform Somo or the virulent republican Journals
say that tho resolution mean that the South has repu
diated tho tariff reform doclrluo and become converted
to high protection und McLaurlnlBtn They sing a
song of triumph for the victory of the principle bo
loug and nbly advocated by William McKlnloy
Now lot us see exactly what this McAllister roso
lutlon is lion W S McAllister Introduced it Into tho
Mississippi legislature and It was adopted It recites
that tho Northern Statea went republican In the last
Uvo prosldontitil elections that In tho section east of
the Mississippi nnd north of the Ohio and Potomno
thoro Is tin amazing aggregation of wealth and Intolll
gOnoo that the South needs capital to develop It
that political alliances should have regard to com
MiiOfelal relations social lmpioxemont and Industrial
growth that the democrat of tho North anil Mast
helped ho South In hor hours of adversity that Mis
sissippi democrats would ally themselves with the
democrats of the North and Kust that the South will
prosper under till fraternal policy that compromise
and concession should be employed to enable the
party to proeent a united frout In tho next National
election in order that sectional estrangements may
be no more and that the talent resources and genius
of tho American people may be applied unhindered
nnd unfettored to tho practical solution of socinl und
acopomlu problem and to the mitigation of the con
dition of kindred peoplott not yet frue
Now thoro Is nothing In the resolution repudiating
tho Kansas City platform Thoro I not a wont about
the tariff The resolution deals in generalities about
progress and prosperity incept where It strongly ree
ommontls Southern democrat to ally themselves with
democrnta of the North and Wast and urgew compro
mise and concession without saying uh to wltnt Har
mony in the party Is oasentlal to miccgw A closer
fraternal feeling between democrats of all section is
a very desirable thing Compromise and concession
oxcopt as to vjtul democratic principles can not be
too strongly rocommsndod Thero is nothing hetero
dox about tho McAllister resolution unless one chooaoa
to road into it a hidden moaning Tho other Southern
States would not follow MlsBissippIs lod away from
tho truo democratic fold it such n lead were given
Tho resolution does not contain anything but the most
orthodox domocrney of the sort in which Mississippi
and hor slater States of the South together with thou
sands of Voters in tho North Uait and West are true
believers

Somr years ago the St Louii GlobeDemocrat would My
that there wjs one more president in the bloody shirt
meaning of course that the flaunting of that ensanguined
garment was good as a slogan for one more republican preil
dentiftl campaign The StewartBrvdicar campaigners evi
dently have the same kind of ideas with regard to the use
of the well worn howl against corporations and wealthy
citireus They think there is another mayor and hoard of
aldermen in this slogan Four years ago Judge Brashear
used it In ills fight against Baldwin Rice and to use the street
vcrnaoular what they said about Mr Rice along that line
was a plenty They charged that if the latter gentleman
was reelected the corporations would have poor old suffer
ing Houston by the throat and no mistake Two years ago
the same sham issue was raised against Mr John T Browne
niul now the old chestnut is on duty sgain This time it has
been regarded as necessary to impugn the motives and
shamelessly attack the personal characters of some of Hous

AS TO GORMAN AND BRYAN
Washington March 15 Staff CorrespondenceJ The
action of Senatorelect Arthur Pile Gorman of Maryland in
declining to accept the invitation 16 become 1 candidate for
the position of chairmin of the democratic congressional
campaign conuniiiee may he regarded as being particularly
significant ol the intentions of that gentleman with respect
l > Ihe democratic nomination for Ihe presidency in 1904
The announcement thnt such an invitation had been tendered
Mr iormun which so far as the Southwest was concerned
appeared exclusively in The Post of lust Thursday came in
the natute of n decided surprise to politicians generally
The teasons for thissurprise were mimeiou In the first
place it has been the custom heretofore to elect a member
of the house to the chairmanship and the effort to induce 1
senator to become a candidate for the honor was unusual
iurlher no otic had ever thought of Mr Gorman in connec
tion with the chairmanship save the three or four senators
who set tho movement 011 foot So on the whole the news
of the invitation that was extended him as a result of the
conferences held by Senators DuBois t armack and Raw
lins was icad with unusual interest in political circles Dur
ing Ihe two days that elapsed before Mr Gorman stated posi
tively that he would not be a candidate for the chairmanship
all sorts of spccblation was rife and while democratic opin
ion as to tho advisability of giving the place to tiic Mary
lander was divided it must be admitted that there was con
siderably more sentiment 111 favor of him than against him
9
It is now generally believed that Mr Gorman declined
the invitation of Messrs DuBois Carmack Rawlins ct al
because he thought an acceptance of it would lend to lower
the standard of his dignity and perhaps to impair his
chance for being made tlie choice of the democrats for
president at the next National convention There is no
doubt that the Marylander will bc a candidate for the nomi
nation utiles his present plans aro materially changed and
that fuithcr a very considerable element of that portion of
the democratic party represented hero is in favor of him
Some of those who think thnt Gorman will be the logical
candidate of the democracy are of the opinion that he would
really have been materially strengthening his case by accept
ing the offer of the chairmanship of the congressional com
mittee it being assumed that the announcement of his can
didacy would havo been tantamount to his election tu the
place This opinion was based on the belief that the next
house will be democratic and that if Mr Gorman could
show that he was In any way responsible in his capacity as
chairman of this committee for the bringing about of such
a satisfactory slate of affairs his chalices for success before
the convention would be greatly enhanced On the other
hand some of his friends pointed out that with the situation
in its present condition the position of chairman of the
committee was beneath him and that his acceptance of it
would injure his prospects for the higher honor to which he
aspires Especially would this be the case it was pointed
out if after announcing lhat he would be a candidate for
the chairmanship he should bc defeated or if after having
been elected he should fail to be instrumental in conduct
ing the campaign in such a manner as to give the democrats
a majority in the next house It is quite likely that Mr
Gorman considered all of these various phases of the nutter
quite carefully for he did not reply definitely to the invi
tation extended him for two days The reason he gave then
for declining was that he was too old and that he had
graduated from the committee or in other words that he
had served on it long enough during his previous terms in
congress and that he had given ifall the line and attention
that could rightfully bc expected from one man
However all this may be Mr Gorman finally declined
and the democrats foimliig the committee turned their at
tention to other material They very wisely took no action
at the meeting held on Friday night but concluded to wait
for two weeks during which time the claims of the various
candidates are to he thoroughly considered It is a trifle
difficult just at present to locate all of these candidates but
those who have been most prominently mentioned in con
nection with the chairmanship arc Griggs of Georgia Hall
of Pennsylvania Cooper of Texas Senator Clark of Mon
tana and one or two others At one time it looked as if
Mr Griggs would secure the position without any serious
opposition but even his most intimate friends admit that he
is not overburdened with energy and there is no doubt that
energy is one of the characteiistics which should bc upper
most in the man who fills the place and fills it acceptably
During the two weeks that will elapse before the next meet
ing of the committee is held some new material may be
luought out In fact it is known that an effort will he
made to bring out such material so that it is impossible at
this time to predict with any degree of positiveuess what
will be done in the premises
As was wired The Post at the time the invitation was ex
tended to Mr tionnan the seuatots who started the move
mem in his favor did so with a view to beginning a cam
paign in which Mr Bryan and his free silver ideas should
he entirely ignored There is no doubt that this fact in
flueuced against the Marylaiiler many who would otherwise
have been in favor of his
being selected to fill the position
of chairman of the
congressional committee
Mr Bryan has
numerous warm friends in congress and they do not propose
to see hint ignored in this or any other manner The pres
ence of the peerless Nehraskan in the city at the time the
pace was offered 0 Mr Gorman had the effect o 01 re
