Special- Cora poadwice. ECENTLX I have been on a lecture tour to the Pacific coast, .and my observations make me believe that Democ racy Is once more on the up grade throughout the Eocky mountain and coast states, a fact by reason of which good Democrats will rejoice every where. In Colorado the efforts of the Repub licans to steal the seat In the senate of that illustrious patriot and statesman Henry M. Teller have left a bad tastd" in the mouths of hones't folks of all shades of political belief an,d have given the Republican machine in the Centennial State a severe if not fatal Jolt. The strange antijes of Governor ' Peabody have split tho Republican party of Colorado in twain and give the fusionists a fine opportunity to re deem the state. Consequently they are not disheartened by their defeat last year, but are already lining up for the great contest of 1904. I In Utah Democrats are taking heart, and confidently expect to swing that young state into the Democratic col-j jumn at the next election. J In Nevada we have the governor and I other state officers, the representative In congress, the legislature and one; iTJnlted States senator. The Democrats j of Nevada are waiting impatiently for i the next election of a senator of the lUnited States so that they can retire f'Santa Claus" Stewart to the shades of private life. He would not have been elected the last time if he had not pre tended that he was a bettor silver man ithan Francis G. Ncwlands. Soon after he was re-elected he went back to the Republicans bag and baggage, horse, toot and dragoons. "Ichabod" is in scribed above his senatorial habitation, i and his finish can be easily foretold. Francis G. Newlands. I The most prominent man in Nevada today is Francis G. Newlands, who, after ten years of distinguished serv ice in the house, on the ,4th of last March succeeded Hon. John P. Jones In the senate of the United States, Where he will cut a wide swath. He la the father of the Newlands irrigation law, a fact which has endeared him to the population of the arid region. President Roosevelt did Newlands and others a rank injustice by stating that Mr. Mondell of Wyoming deserved the lion's share of the credit for passing the Irrigation bill, and that Mr. Reed er of Kansas, whom he was pleased to denominate as "Irrigation BUI Reeder," iwas second only to Mondell. I would not detract fronthe Just fame of Mon dell or Reeder in tho estimation of a hair they are good men and did what ,they could; so did many others but the truth should be told though the hoavens fall, and It Is this: The men Who deserve the most credit for the Irrigation scheme are Frauds G. New lands of Nevada and John C. Bell and 'John Shafroth of Colorado. Others Bided them In nn able manner, but ithey were the head and front of the enterprise, and were so recoguized by everybody conversant with the facts, lble, insistent In season and out of season, vigilant, tactful, courageous, harmonious, they won what five years ago seemed a hopeless tight, and should have their due mead of praise. Presi dent Roosevelt has the ear of the coun try, and his praise nn doubt helped Mondell, while the nickname he be stowed upon the Kan win of "Irrigation Bill Reeder" made that brawny states man's political fortune, being a thing that will stick. Newlunds, Bell and Shafroth are the uieh who led the movement to a successful conclusion. California. Everywhere In California I found the Democrats In fighting trim. Last year they came within a few hundred ivoteg of electing a governor and took throe representatives lu congress away from the Republicans. The truth la that had the ballots been counted ac cording to the Intention of the voters the Democratic candidate for governor would have been elected, but by reason of some peculiarity In marking the bal lots enough Democratic ballots were thrown out to give the election to the Republican candidate, with whom there Is now great dissatisfaction among the Republicans. Therefore the Demo crats are anxious to get at them ugaln, feeling confident that they will In tho next beat pull under the string winners by at least a neck. At IOS Angeles I addressed the Iro quois club, and 1 never saw a more en thusiastic set of Democrats. Those who count the electoral vote of California certainly In the Republic an column next year reckon without their host Party lines rest loosely nnd lightly upon Californlans, and the Democrats are us apt to carry the state as not. Oregon. Everybody knows that Oregon Is Re publican by about 10,000 majority; nevertheless she has a most excellent Democratic governor In the person of that splendid citizen lion. George K. Chamberlain, who amiears to bear a I'UMIIill'll nil" J " 'III n .i ii, nini in' kr a veritable Democratic mascot. When- ! ever things political In Oregon get so ! bad that they are Intolerable enough i decent Republicans turn to Chamber- . lain as a political purifier and vote for 1 tilm to elect him to some big otllce. In j IhRt way and for those reasons he was llected attorney general of the state t ,t llfV. ....!!.... 11.. wl. !j it it a When it went Republican for congress man by about 10,000. In that way and for those reasons he was elected prose cuting attorney of Multnomah county, in which Portland Is situated, when the rest of the Republican ticket was elect ed by 5,000 or 6,000 majority. In that way and for those reasons last year he was elected governor, while the re mainder of the Republican ticket was elected by a rousing majority. Conse quently Governor Chamberlain must be taken and accepted as a man of great possibilities. He is In the flower of, his years, a tiptop campaigner, a first rate lawyer and the idol of the northwest ern Democrats. The national conven tion could go farther and fare much worse than to nominate Governor Chamberlain for president or vice pres ident. He has the capacity and the address to fill either position with hon or to the country and himself. Those who are in charge of the Dem ocratic national committee may not know it, but Oregon is a promising field for, missionary work. Governor Chamberlain's triumph has encouraged Oregon Democrats greatly. Another source of encouragement is the fact that the Republican party of Oregon is split into two warring and bitter factions the Simon Republicans, led by ex-United States Senator Simon,' and the Mitchell Republicans, led by the present United States Senator John Hippie Mitchell. These factions, which hate each .other worse than the Mon tagues and Capulets hated each other, are whetting their knives for a fight ; to the death a fight in which quarter will neither be asked nor given. The chances are that they will be so busy butchering each other next year that the Deinocrats will sweep the state, a consummation devoutly to be wished, and will land Governor Chamberlain in the senate of the United States. Still another source of encouragement to Oregon Democrats is the fact that they now have a great newspaper in Port land to advocate their cause, the Daily Evening Journal, one of the brightest newspapers in the land. So, taken all in all, Democrats everywhere would do well to keep their eyes .on Governor George E. Chamberlain and the heroic Democracy of Oregon. I am proud of the fact that Governor Chamberlain introduced me to a Chautauqua audl enee. Montana. ;' Of Montana It Is superfluous to say much. It is Democratic now, has al ways been Democratic and will in all human probability remain so. True that the Republicans stole two or three terms in the senate from Montana, but that does not change the general prop osition that Montana is Democratic., At present she has two Democratic United States senators in the persons of Hon. William A. Clark and Hon. Paris Gibson, and her chief magistrate is Governor Joseph K. Toole, a thor oughgoing Democrat, who learned his politics in Montana and whose estima ble wife is a daughter of that illus trious soldier and Democrat, General William S. Rosecrans, Idaho. ' Ever since 1890 Idaho has been de batable ground and is still in that con dition. Notwithstanding the fact that the state went Republican lu 1900 and again In 1902, no well informed ob server of the passing show would be at all surprised to see Idaho return to the Democratic column next year under the load of ex-Senator Heitfeld and Senator Frederick T. Dubois. They are Bpkmdld fighters and are liable to achieve a great victory In the impend ing onmpalgn. It will be remem beredand greatly to his credit that RnnntnP rtllhnla wan nna nf tha - - ' , free silver Republicans who walked out of the Republican convention at St Louis In 189(1 He is a man who possesses the courage of his convictions, i and he Is one of the most brilliant lead-1 era of Democracy. Swift Climbing. j President Roosevelt's disposition to : stand by his personal friends has, In Its latest inn ulfes tat ion, stirred up a hornets' nest of vast proportions. By promoting Leonard A. Wood to be ma jor general he has brought down upon his head the wrath of the old otllccrs and their host of friends, who declare that It Is his Intention to carry his friendship for General Wood still further by lifting him Into the lleuten aut generalship as soon as General Young retires. The otllcers who have seen more service than General Wood Would not object so strenuously to his being lieutenant general If he were an older man, for, being comparatively young, his induction hito that office would shut the door In the faces of DO YOU WANT A RIG Or a horse or anything pertaining to a first class livery stable.

Of course they are all dis gruntled by Wood's rapid advance ment. General Wood, as it will be re membered, was a surgeon in the army When the Spanish war began and phy sician to President McKinley. He he- came colonel of the rough riders, of who'll President Roosevelt was lieuten ant colonel; hence the close friendship, hence this swift promotion. That the Wood nomination will be confirmed by the senate there is little doubt. There will be a tempest in a teapot, but it will soon blow over, for BeirTy" every senator" Gas a 'pet In' the srmy for whom he Is "begging" wtth the president. But the Wood namltta tion may have political effect. In case of a close contest the friends of arm 1 omcers might decide the presidency. Little things count.

When the credulous old lady beard that the cow. had eaten the grindstone the complacently remarked, "I told : you so!" .There is a pleasure in the possession of prophetic gifts. , Some time ago in these letters I predicted that the advertising which the Hon. Joseph L. Brlstow, fourth assistant 'postmaster general, is getting out of the post office scandals would make him a very large and commanding figure in Kansas politics and that the chances were that be would, unless nominated for vice president, go after, the curule chair now occupied by Hon. J. Ralph Burton, senior senator from the Sunflower State. That prophecy is likely to come true. Already, accord ing to late dispatches from Topeka, the gossip about the statehouse is that Jo seph L. will go after J. Ralph's scalp, and it will be in harmony with the eternal fitness of things, for in divers places and on sundry dates the Burton rooters have boasted that Brlstow was "going, going and gone." It will be a pretty fight. Burton Is an indefatiga ble stumper. First and last he made more than a thousand speeches in order to, get into the less numerous branch of the national legislature, and he will deliver another thousand to remain there another term, Of course Brls tow will depend primarily on his repu tation as a sleuth at hunting down Re publican rascjils lu the post office de IMU lWt'UI not detect partment. The chances are that he did a tithe of them, but his career In that line will form the basis of his campaign. Ills retainers and henchmen will also assiduously culti vate the- theory, already widespread, tfcst Senator Burton Is persona non grata at the White House. All Repub lican pie hunters, especially those from Kansas, are ravenously hungry, yearn tor tne nescpots snd are exceedingly anxious to stand well at court. If they conclude that Senator Burton is on bad terms with the president, a proposition which Hon. J. Ralph denies vociferously, they will quit him as sud denly and with as little ceremony as rats desert a sinking ship. What the average Kansas Republican most han kem after Is federal pap, and If the idea prevails that Burton cannot secure the pap he will lie as dead as "Beans" rooieroy or Senator General Jim Lane.
