JUST AT PRESENT that ever frisky quadruped, the Democratic don- key, seems to be a horse divided against himself. BETWEEN his fireworks of rhetoric and his fire-crackers of thought the Nebraska statesman seems to be a veritable fourth of July unto himself. as ee THE CAREER of old Uncle David B. Hill seems to go a long way to- ward establishing the fact that great Democratic oaks from little pea- nuts grow. me TIS A well established belief that Mr. Roosevelt has been cast for the réle of the kite in the coming campaign, and the said feeling having become practically a fact, it now remains only to procure a good, substan- tial tail to do the wagging and to otherwise help the kite along to success. There are many first-class tails from which to make a selection. It is true that a number of them fancy that they are the stuff of which kites are made, and possibly they are right. Be that as it may, Mr. Roosevelt is a kite unto himself, as well as a kite among kites, and the man who shall be selected to be his running—or, rather, his flying—mate will gather a fund of information on the subject of aérial navigation that may be of value to him in the future. Cannon, Fairbanks and Hitt are said to be in active training, and even when they say they will decline the honor, if proffered them, it is believed that each and every no may mean yes. The Repub- (GA HH) i J) 4 The accompanying Joke or Inciosare of stamps to the fall amount of postage (s also required, to lican party will never be warhorseless while possessed of such timber as that of which Cannon, Fairbanks and Hitt are made, and with any of this trio for a partner, it is predigested securities to indigestible doughnuts that Mr. Roosevelt will run only to win in a walk. THE TRUSTS certainly have a most unenviable job on their hands in being compelled to uphold the Democratic platform. It is a top-heavy proposition, and one that calls for the strength of a Samson to bear suc- cessfully. Regarded as a load, it is anything but picturesque and lovely; and it has that on it which should make all good Americans shudder. The Tammany tiger and the Democratic donkey cannot be made lovely to look upon, nor can they be considered as desirable freight. In a load that in- cludes Hill, Parker, Cord Meyer, and the Maryland monstrosity euphemis- tically known as Gorman, there should be much food for reflection. The Democratic platform is an institution that belongs at Luna park, in which inclosure it would easily eclipse all other attractions. The oppressive trusts may be sufficiently Samsonesque to bear this foul load for a while and for a short distance; but it requires the strength, agility and staying power of the grand old Republican elephant to carry a candidate to the white-house. This present candidate stands for everything that is good and decent in politics, and is an ungloved fighter whom the trusts fear, and not without good and sufficient reasons. This rider is already in trim, and even at this writing it is not going too far to say that it is all over but the shouting and the lighting of the election-day bonfires. \ oN RIGHT UP TO DATE.
