WfM. WASHINGTON. July 17.?Thes
are the days of Democratic

confident just at present, tor ver>
* ? many of those who are making then
' .: realized most thorough Iv at St. l.oul:
m that the party has no hose of winnl::;
; / the Preaictency this fall .and did no
f- hesitate to say so. Now they n-.tit-C o:
K necessity put up a front. It is ex
Ist; _ - treutely interesting to those who wen
at. St. Louis and heard the expressions
||s made, mostly irt private, but otter
publicly, by leading Democrats, th<?.:
defeat is practically certain at the
election, to see those ^arr.e men now
rushing into print with interviews 01
in letters and telegrams to Judge Far
Ft -"V leer declaring their positive confidence
^ of victory. There are scores of news
paper men who, were they to violate
y the ethics of the profession, coult
place a Lot of prominent Democrats
. in emharraKsing positions,
d',' That the party has no show in the
' L coming campaign, especially after the
^ -i, turmoil into which the convention was
plunged by Judge Parker's telegram
on the gold standard, was avowed by
many of the men who know just what
political conditions are in the United
States this year. Of course the great
mass of the spectators who crowded
gte'f. the galleries and practically ran the
convention at times, and who got the
' idea that the enthusiasm which ran
riot there amid the exciting scenes of
' Friday night was an index of the feelj
' ing of the whole country, believed that
v success was merely a matter of waitjfe,V
ing four months until the election
came around. Even those cooled down
?7 j . wonderfully after the Parker telegram
. incident, for if the crowds there,
mostly from the West and South, be0*
.lieved in anything at. all politically.
they believed in Bryan and free silver,
and Judge Parlter's success in placing
his party firmly on the gold standard
J; - policy cut themtto the quick.
^'*7 Not .Fooled 3y Enthusiasm.
The men who have to figlit the political
battles, however, and know
what they have to go up against when
they measure swords in a Presidential
campaign with the Republican
party, were not led astray by the enII';
thusiasm of the moment: They know
||i as well as do Republicans what the
?-/ . general sentiment of the country is,
and also know very well that the Republicans
are not going to "lay down"
V . in the coming campaign and let the
Democracy have a walkover.
Of course just now ail Is harmony,
and victory is in sight?that is. judging
from the many predictions so free|
ly made. One enthusiastic gentleman
prophesies that they will "sweep the
Republicans off the face of the earth."
The real leaders remember that their
party has won the Presidency but
twice in 44 years, and that neither
time did they do the "sweep" act. but
that on the contrary at both sue
E . ceeding Mational elections the Repubi.i
licans carried the country. They
g-s < know, too, that Judge Parker's course
f < in committing the . Democracy to the
*>., gold standard has angered and dis.
gruntled the party in,almost all sections.
The St. Louis convention clearly
showed, if anything at all, that in
the rank and file Mr. Bryan still has
i. ' thestrongest following of any man. in
s:'.. the .party.
|f;'- . While the convention could hold a
pS "rummage sale" ot former principles
p, and rid itself of them at. the small
price of a total abandonment of till
E political consistency, the voters arc
still to be dealt with. Moreover. W'illiam
J. Bryan is to be dealtl; with,
gy There is not a thinking Democrat in
the country who reads Mr. Bryan's
||. two recent statements and believes
|p . thatyttiey will help Judge Parker's
Wr'.' cajtfse. The leaders are very sore
fey'-: //>ver them. They recognize that his
x y indorsement of the candidate and the
fgj platform is really an arraignment of
o; both. They see that he is trying to
ST. . make personal opportunity out of the
|y' ': Democratic extremity.
ft. No Glory In Sight For Bryan,
fefe-' Mr. Bryan can get no glory oui ot
jaggy the Democratic victory this fall if
pjljj the party wins its,success will but
accentuate his own failure to lead it

tion as a factor in its councils and
- purposes. Judge Parker's election
can mean nothing more than to put
Mr. Bryan out of business forever. If

he is also serving notice upon the financial
interests othe country that
it will be a waste . > i; money for them
to contribute funds toward Judge
Parker's election, :o:hvj nothing will
be accomplished in their interest,
whether ho is elect e l or defeated. Tn
rhe latter con tied ion it may be sai.I
that, a great many Democrats take no
stock in ro' statements made by
Judge Parker's friends t hat tliere v. ill
!>e no lack or campaign funds in his
interest.
Wall Street Named Parker.
i It was oneniv said at St. Louis, and
by prominent Democrats, that in their
opinion Wall street ami the financial
interests forced Parker's nomination
and also forced his declaration for the
gold standard merely to save money.
They had contributed large amounts
in ISOtf and 1900 to defeat Bryanisiri
and free silver and were tired of it.
Therefore, they compelled the nomination
of Parker and the commit! aj
of the Democracy to the gold standard
solely to put themselves in a position
where it made no real difference
whether Roosevelt of Parker was
elected. They stand just the same on
the great question of finance and the
"money power" need not contribute
to either campaign fund. Even were
Parker to slip in by chance anil carry
with him a Democratic House of Representatives,
the Senate will be Republican
during his term, and the
Democracy could not get away from
its practical pledge on the money
question if it wanted to. and if Parker
did break the nledsre made in bis tele
gram.
There is another thing which is
worrying the Democrats, Mr. Bryan
again being the thoin in the party's
side, and that is the way in which
the Nebraska man tiwol.s in his
statement upon certain features of
the monetary q^cntion and upon
which he seeks to know Judge Parker's
exact views. They believe that j
he is trying to force the candidate to
go into the matter in It is letter of acceptance
and make some admission
which, while it might to some, degree
placate the extreme Bryan el?rn.ent,
would throw the "fat into the fire" in
the East. It is quite safe to say Judge
Parker's letter accepting Pie nomination
will be most carefully apd prayerfully
perused by the leaders before
he gives it out and that there will be
110 crumbs of comfort in it for Bryanites
if advice and counsel have any
weight with the Presidential candidate.
Don't Want Bryan to Campaign.
The Democrats in consequence <.f
all this are exceedingly anxious that
Mr. Bryan shall not take the stump
for the ticket in the approaching
campaign. They recognize the fact
that speeches like those he made at
St. Louis, and embodying the views
expressed in his recent statements,
can only hurt Parker's cause instead
of helping it. If he would only go to
Europe or some place else and stay
there until after the election they
would be very glad, and. indeed, might
perhaps contribute to the expenses of
the trip. Meanwhile the "Republicans,
grown callous from use at Democrats
carrying the country in July and losing
in November, are going right
ahead with the work of organizing
and are in no wise concerned at Democratic
predictions. There is plenty of
evidence that the Democrats have ;
aroused Republicans throughout the "
country. At the temporary National ]
Republican headquarters here letters i
are pouring in from all sections calling
attention to the Democratic declaration
on the tariff. Especially is 1
that sentence in which the St. Louis 3
" platform calls "Protection a robbery
of the many to enrich the lev" dwelt
upon in these letters/aridvtiio writers
insist that the whole tariff subject
1st brought to the front main
issue of the campaign. The iteptjbl!can
leaders are calico upon to stand
(by the protective principle, and not
allow the Democrats to obscure the
real issue. This is the plank -vhidh
Mr. Bryan declares hi "good."
After thus raising the tariff issue
again, and in a most hostile, way, the
Democrats can have little , hope, if
1 they ever really had any at all. of carf
rying Connecticut and New Jersey,
r There, is among Republicans no fear
- with regard to these States, and
- Rhode Island aiifi Indiana and Illinois
1 are considered as safely a rl,<' t.*/j in
1 the Republican column. Confidence
' is expressed that the unfortunate facr
lional differences among .Repubr:cati->
-> in Wisconsin will not be permitted to
: I endanger the electoral ticket.
' | There are no other Republican
- States where there apears to he an;- i
- reasonable grounds for doubt as to ;
t the result. In those mountain States !
-* carried by Bryan in 1900 the Republi>
cans would seem to have more than
- an even chance of success this year.
! n fact one of the main arguments
? used against Mr. Bryan at St. Louis
' by his opponents was that he had lost
his hold on the Western States, v. here
lie had only boon strong, and that he
- could not deliver electoral votes in
" any section except the South, and
there the Democrats were sure' to win

The News From Escpus.
"Why are you fellers hangm' /round9"
asks Old Inhabitant,
"What is the news? What is the"
news?" the Correspondents
pant.
"What makes you fellers sweat so
hard?" the village people cry,
"We wonder what on earth to write,"
the Correspondents sigh.
For they're waiting at Esopus; you
can hear them gnash their
teeth,
. Growling: "Why did duty rope us
her to Parker's native heath?
Every day we wire a message with
our signature beneath.
Thus: 'Parker went in swimming
here this morning.'"
"What makes that feller breathe so
hard?" the village Cutup
yells,
"Ho thinks he's hearing Parker
speak," one Correspondent
tells.
"Ho, that is Parker's phonograph,"
the C'fttup snickers out.
"It's good to hear some talking here,"
the Correspondents pout.
For they're waiting at Esopus for a
thrilling interview
That shall be the magnum opus of the
man who pulls it. through- The
questions, they are plenty, and
the answers, they are few ?
But Parker goes in swimming every
morning. ,
"Why do you snapshot Parker's dog?" j
asks Mayor of the Town.
"It is the only snap we find," the Correspondents
frown. j
"Why do you chase that ancient {
man?" the Village Marshal ]
cries.
"He used to go to school with him."
the Eager One replies. (
For thev're waitinsr at Esootis for a .
word that they can send.
Something on the bold octopus who
his style of work must mend. a
And they sleep ori the veranda, hop- (
ins that he will unbend?
But Parker goes in swimming every g
morning.

"What number is the hat lie wears?"
the Correspondents gasp.
"It's not. the size for talkin' through,"
the Fellow Townsmen rasp. i<
"I've heard him talk a score, o' rimes," b
says Old Inhabitant. t.",
"He's talkin' under water now," the <=,
Correspondents pant. p
For they're waiting at Esopus. and a
with one accord they moan: i
"Fiercer luck no one could hope us
than long to hear his tone!" t<
And they're wiring now for diving c
suits?he'll never be alone?
For Parker goes in swimming every
morning.
