At the tim i rte the I at letter everything Uxked as if Chicago would have walk vr for the convention, but something happened to scare the convention down at Si L uis Tbat somethii g was the powerful dears' or v-niH,it and sentiment, not ( nly am 11 g the ini nilrs ol tbe committee, but among the hundred of prcmijrn' Democrats who came to attend the wvetii g of the committee. What s. nix ol the reorgaii'zing element of tb Drfmoctatic party took to be t oloud no larger than a mail's hat d turmd rut to be a crclone, and n scared them from tbe bal my brei n of Lake MicbiKn into the cyclom cellarr of St 1 uis. Tbey ere ru'imi g fn m the Hearst boom, and tbey werea sadly reard lot of people. There was a -hurry call sent an 111 d to the faithful late ou Monday eveuu.g bforo the meeting of the committee, aud a few of them met at the home of John It McLean and agreed then aud there tbat it would never do to allow toe couveutiou to go to a citv where Mr. Hearst had two powerful newspapers and a great personal following. Tbey con lectured up visions of thousands of workiug men parading the streets of the city carrying ban ners asking the convention to nominate Mr. Hearst, and thous ands iu tbe couveutiou ball t Rtamprde tbe convention to Hearst. Tbe vote on the follow ing day showed that all but seven members of the committee either were not scared by the Hearst boom or else were favorable to it, as they voted for Chicago. Thi move on thd partof tho people who Ho not favor the candidacy of Mr Hearst proved a boomerang. They thought they were getting away from the Hearst movemeut, aDd away from the Hearst papers They have got away from neither. The chances are that Mr. Hearst will start a paper in the city of St Louis tbat will be a democrat pa por to tbe cre, and not a wishy washy, milk and water, good-lord- good-devil sort sort of a sheet, aud the delegation from Missouri in Congress are rrncing thereat also tbe fact that tbey conceded the liability of a Hearst stampede in Chicago concedes tbe strength of Mr. Hearst in tbe republican stase of Illinois, and one tbat wf we must carry in order to win at noils daxt November, aud thus argnes tbat heis the strodgest man in tbe state whom we can nom mate. If tbat be the case, Mr. Hearst' friends now are arguing, then is he Dot tbe rtroogest and best man e can nominate, aud the man ith whom it is easiest to win? They all pay that victory is the great desideratum in the nx campaiogn, and many of them are illing tosacrifio principle in or der to get it. Why not, then, say the Hearst men, constrve principle aud at tbe-same time win a victory that will mean something, bv nominating, Hearst. Tbe opportunists- who, like a drowning man. and have given tbe Hearst mov meat an impetus here among th leaders of the party tbat refuses to down at the bidding of trust toole and Wall street sharks.
