So there is no doubt whom the politicians want. They want McKinley, Theirs be is now, theirs he will he next time, if elected, i'or him delegates are already selected in many states. For him the "federal brigade" everywhere is girding on its armor, preparing to raise assessments and pack cor.v en t ion i as in the good old days of "pernicious activity." But how about the people? They ought to be stronger to-day than they were four year- ago. Then they forced McKinley n unwilling bosses, because they believed in him. Jlis identification with high tariff had persuaded them he was a fighter. They loved him for the free trade enemies he had made. Powerful enough then to prevail over the bosses who opposed him, are they

powerless now to prevail ovi r the bosses who have combined with him? Thea they loved him for a lighter, now t hi y distrust him for a shifty opportunist, if the lo ad of the American people has not been sobered by the world-wide responsibilities into which the Spanish war has thrust us, if its In art has not been ennobled at the sight of its best blood freely and heroically shed on foreign soil, then it is to be despsin d of. The indirection of McKinley' treatment of Alger, the IniqUitOUS consequences of his equivocal course in making war in the Philippines, have undeceived many who have been bclievtrs in the president.

C onfidence in the justness of the democratic came will aid much in bringing success, but this confidi nee must be supplemented with perfect organization. In this connection the attention of the democrats of the nation is called to the whM words spoken by William J. Dryaa la his Dea htoiaes speech. Among otlo r words of wisdom, the great champion of the people spolm the following: "Organisation is by no BXCSnUI everything to a party, p.ut still a party cannot do much without organization. Organisation requires sacrifici s. In time of war there arc plenty of nu n who are willing to leave their homes, say goodby to wife and mother and children, ami go to the front to tight the battles of t heir country . Tin sacrifices to'oe made for principle's sake In times of peace are just as important. "The trouble is we have been lacking in campaign funds. In the case ef the democratic party, these funds must come from the masses of the party, Winn the republicans want to raise money they go to the bankers, the he;uis of corporations, the trust managers, and they furnish the supply. nd wlun the ticket is elected, the bankers dictate the policy of the party.
