Piles of the party did not walk out of the
hall when they saw how completely the
organization had been captured by Popu-
lists, anarchists and communists, but they
are acting like patriots now by denounc-
ing the whole business and advising their
friends to abandon the party.
These enormous accessions to the Re-
publican party have an element of danger,
however, which should not be lost sight
OF. The feeling that Mr.. Mckinley will be
elected by an overwhelming majority is
likely to abate enthusiasm and cause a
grea: many 10 give up taking an active
part in the campaign, if not to the extent
of staying away from the polls on election
day. In view of what the election of
Bryan would mean, and the necessity for
crushing out all that sort Of thing right
in the beginning OF its purpose ought to
stimulate every lover of the institutions
of his country to greater effort than ever,
the more so now that the strongest Demo
cratic newspapers and many OF the great
leaders of the party have publicly allied
themselves with the opponents of Aitgeld's
ticket. This revolt against the Chicago
platform and nominees should impress
every one that there is danger ahead that
should not only be ayerted, but the con-
spirators driven into political obscurity.
Of course, Mr.. Mckinley will be elected,
but that is not enough. In electing him
Bryan and his revolutionary isms and
fallacies must be annihilated by an
avalanche of Mckinley votes.

FARMERS BOIBS AND BLAND.

The aftermath of the Democracy's Chi
cago field of thistles, briars and humble
bees furnishes rich cleaning, especially in
appliances that were used to keep alive
the several Presidential booms. Perhaps
the most amusing of them are pictures of
Boies and Bland as farmers, which their
friends scattered everywhere. Each of
these statesmen had been photographed,
each in his shirtsleeves, with a now
ing-machine at hand. In the rush
and excitement of the convention
days the photographs were not so crit
ically looked upon. They were there to
do the Clncinnatus act and they played it
very we'll, but upon closer examination
just how much of fraud OF a farmer each
of these great men is is clearly revealed.
Boies is perched upon his moving machine
and at the first glance he looks the we'll to-
do farmer, but upon closer inspection it is
found that his hat is about the kind Law
yer Boies would wear between his office
and his residence on occasions when he was
DESTROYS of appearing well-dressed man.
His necktie is adjusted with so much
exactpess one is justified in believing that
he spent several minutes before the mirror
before starting for the farm. His breeches,
shoes and shirt have not that very I'M
fashionable cut which Is peculiar to the
working clothes of the average farmer
In fact the picture looks as if he might
have come to the moving machine fresh
from his somewhat luxuriously appointed
law office.
BANDS picture represents the Missouri
farmer as standing at the head of the
nigh hoss," as he would say. He has no
necktie-he never wore one in his life. He
has arranged his hat-a sure enough
farmer hat-far back on his head so as to
show for all it was worth the massive
brow" about which his admirers had so
much to say before the Nebraska boy with
the gift of CAB knocked him out, or rather
off his moving machine.
Bland knew enough to attend to the de-
tails of his dress so as to 'look the son of
toll" But it is very evident that no young
girl ever made more careful preparation to
have her photograph taken to send to her
best sweetheart than Boies and Bland did
when they were arranging to play the
''honest farmer" racket upon the dele
gates to the Chicago convention.

IN OPEN REBELLION.

The revolt against the platform and
nominees Of the Chicago convention has
reached the dimensions of large sized
rebellion. All the leading Democratic
newspapers of the East, and very many
of those in the Southern and Middle States,
are either coming out for Mckinley or
urging the leaders to call another conven-
ton and put Simon Pure Democratic
ticket in the field. Leading business men
of the Democratic faith are stating in
newspaper interviewssthatth they shall with
draw from their party and cooperate with
the Republicans so long as the organs
and the Tillmans are in charge of the
Democracy's official machinery.
1t is well for the country that thinking
people do not hesitate to cut loose from
party ties when the public good demands
that they should. If it were otherwise
the country would now be confronted by
proposition to change the basic princi-
pies of the Government which would have
enough supporters as a party measure to
make the stability OF the Nation a cues
ton OF doubt. No party of standing ever
declared for so many radical and hurtful
changes in the business methods of the
country, and SIS for sectionalism. the new

SWELLING OF THE HEAD.

The nomination appears to have de-
veIoped characteristics in Mr.. Bryan that
his Lifelong friends never suspected were
any part of his makeup. According to
reports from his hotel in Chicago the next
day after his nomination he swelled out
with an appreciation of his high might
ness and superexcellence to such an ex-
tent that even the gentlemenswho tray-
eled all the way from Nebraska to Chi
cago at their own expense to initiate the
balloon were required to stand in the ball
and, with the formality accorded to princes
and the like, send in their card. Report
has it that not few went away wearing a
big disgust 1t is true, that when the
''friend OF the common people" became
so fatigued that he threw himself upon the
beG with his boots and coat on, few of
his old political wire-pullers and confiden-
tial advisers were permitted to peep into
the room and behold greatness in repose.
But snubbing old friends when a few
hours before he was glad to have them
call him Billy was not the only silly
thing he did. 1t was very stupid OF him
to respond to the messengers announce
ment that he had been nominated by die
tating proclamation to the country as
surfing the public that he was opposed to
two terms" and that he should rot accept
the nomination four years hence. He made
the mistake of thinking the nomination
on an AltgeId platform was the equivalent
of the majority vote of the electoral col
lege. But the greatest exposure of he
mans estimate of his own Importance
was when he suggested that the largest
hall in New York be hired tor the cere-
mony OF formally notifying him of his
nomination. OF course he had in his
minds eye the opportunity such a place
would afford him to repeat his one speech,
but think OF Cleveland or Harrison, or
Garfield or Grant resorting to such spec
tacular exhibition
1t was very kind but great breach of
propriety in Mr.. Bryan when he assured
Mr.. Sewall that he Bryan had held himself
aloot from using his influence with the
convention in selecting a candidate for
the tail of the ticket. What meaning
Mr.. Sewall gathered from the inform alton
no one but himself knows, but the words
appear to convey the idea that Bryan
wanted TO inform his running mate that
he should refuse to assume any RESPONSE
bility for the conventions work in the
premises. But the reaction IS coming and
the edges of it have already reached the
more thoughtful. Not "a few of them are
wondering how ii was that they were
thrown off their feet by the glib tongue OF
a pretty Platte River boy, but it is too
late now. He is their nominee, and all
they can do to repair damages is to follow
him about the country and apologize for
the largeness of his head and littleness of
its contents.
