He says if a man makes a mistake it is creditable to him to change his mind, but if he espouses a righteous cause there is no reason why he should recant. He concludes: "A man must be consistent, and the necessity of consistency in a party is no less imperative. If this year the Democratic party had earnestly and courageously continued its fight for re form it would have made a better show ing than it did. If the Democratic men and Democratic newspapers which since 1896 have been denouncing the party's reform programme, had joined in and presented- the arguments that can be made in behalf of these reforms, our party today would be very much stronger than it is, if net m actual possession of the Government.

OPINIONS DIFFER AS TO PROCEEDINGS Bankruptcy Proceedings Instituted in Cleveland, Ohio, Yesterday. May or May Not Interfere in the Settlement of Mrs. Chad- wick With Her Creditors. New York, Dec. 3.
