\ Vecerober iS,
The falk *bOftt ilemncratio pfresi
denlial possibilities is MLIRR o* e of
the popular tVmes
and discusr'on at the national cap
ital. Manymf the politicians arc
giving o it i*tartlews here to the
local papers aixl tf» their big dailies
of th- 1 telling how the

fe i about the matter in their opin
ion;* The consensus of this opion
ion is about equally divided between
Messrs. German, Hearst and Parker
The cluef note running through all
t'lis interview matter from the pol
iticians of the party is • anybody,
O Lord, in order t3 win," It U
perfectly natural that a poli ician
who is an officeholder slJbuldplace
the offices to be oLtaintd by the
election of a democratic president
above principle and everything else
that democrats hold sacred. They
seem to forget that there are mill
ions of people in this country who
do not hold office or seek office or
want office, and that those people
must be considered in this raa t«r
These millions of non-office-hold
ing people have opinions, and they
are of as much consequence as are
the opinions of the politicians and
the officeholders and ihey arc go
ing to make thoje opinions known
and felt before the conventions arc
held to send delegates to the nation
al convention. When they do the
politicians either will climb into the
band wagon suggested by the miU
lions of non-oflicc-hulding voters
or they will have to walk. I had a
long talk the other day with a
shrewd and a far-seeing politician
who is not an officeholder, and who
recently has traveled extensively
all over the country, especially in
the East and Cetnral West, llis
business compels him to come in
contact with the great mass of the
common people, who are not after
office, and who look at th s thing
of electii g a preMlent froiri the
standpoint of principle and not
office-holding graft.
He is not an enthusiast, and has
no particular choice for the demo
cratic presidential nomination
What he said to me, therefore, im
pressed me with its accuacy from
the standpoint of gathering a cor
rect idea of the feeling ol these
people who must be consulted in
this matter. lie says that the idea
that we mu3t win with any old
thing in order to get the offices
does not appeal to the masses of
the d mocrpcy in the country. He
rays there is a distinct feeling that
unlcst the democrats nominate a
man who stands for something that
is totally against the republican
idea of this government of, by and
for the trusts, that they will go
fishing cn election day and allow
the election to go by default. Ihe
feeling among them, says this gen
tleman, is absolutely against the
nomination of any man who be
lieves in dealing with the Wall
Street gang and the trusts and the
tariff in the same manner aa the
republicans are now dealing wijh
them, anl that to nominate such a
man he would have to go to the
trusts an 1 the Wall Street gang and
get his campaign fund—and that
means he woyld really have to
make promises to them which
would be a virtual sell out. 7 hey
can see no difference between that
kind ot a democ r at and a republi
can In the White House, except in
the distribution of the offices; and
they do not want any of the offices.
He says that this feeling is grow
ing all over the middle frest, and
especially in Illinois, which will be

says they are pointing out the fact
NViiliain Randolph Hear t is the
only one of the possibilities who
has not come before the democrats
of the country with a proposit.on

dwell upon the fact that he alone

the people that they would have to

truism obtains with much force in
the pre cut situation; that it makes
possible the man from New Vork
and makes prominent the move
ment f>r his nomination. He said
that he did not predict the nomina
tion of William Randolph Hearst,
but he did predict that either he or
some man who standi for what he
does or on similar lines will be
nominated, for cei tiinly the senti

opposed to an attempt at a r tro

possibilities are taken as standing
No compromise with the trusts,
with the powers that be in Wall

be to'orated by the men who make
the next- platform. No candidate
whorepresents either a compromise
or a delusion like that of the last
Cleveland administration will stand
any chance of coming under the
wire a winner in the next dem -

eluded by saying that the sooner
the politicians and office hunters
of the democratic party learn this
fact the better for them.

The Hon. Jesse Overstreet of In

from that state, is the Secretary of

House Committee on the Post

which they have the allowance of

it now transpires that the Hon.
Jesse Overstreet, whose committee
has been chrgaed with the work ot

of exactly the same offence that

It will thus be seen how sincere'
is the attempt of the r«publicaiis to
bring any ol the offende s to jus
tice when they place the report of
the investigation in the hands of a
man who is guilty of the same of
fence as otheis developed in tbe
investijation.
Until theer is a democratic ad
ministration the people need not
ex. ect a\ nthing to come from this
investigation of rottenness in the
Po*l Department. Kvery
move on the part of the republicans
is merely a bluff to hoodwink the
people of the nation. It is up to
the people to move ths matter.
Rveiybody is awa r e of the slren
.i. sitv aii«l ievebcraling vnulVt .us
ntfcJ of the Pr. sident as a civil ser
vice reformer. It has been his hob
by which he has ridden for years
with all the delight which ha evin
ces wh-n busting a broncho, lie
protests in reason and out of sea
son that he will allow no infringe
ment of the law governing the civil
service, and will hold every man to
a strict observance of the same.
Let us see if all these prot.-sts and
vociferation are sincere, are only a
bluff to fo .l the people. fJot long
ago the President sent C.vil Service
Commissioner A fred W. Cooley
over tp Philadelphia to investigate
as to the doings of Postmaster Mc-
Michael of that city who had been
reported as using tis ofticc and his
power as Postmaster for purely po
litical and partisan purpose*), 'aitd
in other ways violating the civil j
service law. Mr. Ccoley went and'
made out his report to the President]
a.id in that rcpo«' lie- decla.cd th.it
the | hiladelphia postmaster- w-;ts
guilty of all the f Ileuses charged
against him. and recommended lus
dismissal for good and suliicien
cause. As soon l.iowever, as Matt
Ouay, the Pennsjlva' ia republican
boss, col wind _ul £Le —
went tot ic NV .ite House and read
the riot act to the President to the
effect t'.at he did not intend to have
one of lis chef henchmen and torn I
torn beaters in Pennsylvania dis
4u;bed in his fat office- He had
placed him, he intimated, in the
position he occ ipied for the very
purjose of having him to do the
things he is charged with lu.ving
done in Il.igrant violation of the
civil servi e laws of the county,
and he intimated, also, that the
President would bettet be careful
how he disturbed his pets. What
was the result?
'1 he President hastened to send
for Civil Service Commissioner
Cooley, and. practically t iking him
by the throat, demanded of him
tha» he straightway writb, 'another
report of the findings against' thi'
Philadelphia postmaster, in which
he would llnd nothing to hi.s de.rj
rnent. and in which there would be
no recommendation of dismissal.
The second report hap been
written and the Philadelphia post
master, who has been fjuilty uj' the
