Mr.. BRYAn.s cANpoR.
The Democratic Candidate Is Above ID
ceptioa and Dfshonssey.

xA0 Democratic G4OUkU0EG Al ABOVE 49,
ceptaoR and Dishonssty.
The republican organs parade n
damaging to the democratic candidate
the telegraphic correspondence of Mr..
Bryan and Senator Jones concerning
the populist nomination and the re-
ports OF his stubborn determination
to let the populists know where he
stands.
The effect of Mr.. Bryan's attitude
and utterances is undoubtedly the OPP
posite of that hoped for by these or
gans. The publication of the Bryan
Jones correspondence did Mr.. Bryan
more good than harm, and all that he
may say in line with his determination
to meet the populists with perfect cam
dor is beneficial to him.
The American people admire frank
ness and honesty. They abhor trick
cry and deceit III politics. The public
man who speaks his mind and disdains
10 profit by deception or hypocrisy
earns their respect, as the public man
who shows himself willing to profit
oy trickery receives their contempt.
1t may not have been good politics
in the narrow sense of apparent tenn
porary advantage for Mr.. Bryan to
tell the populists that he did not want
and could not accept their nomination
on the terms with which it was offered.
but it was good politics in the broadcast
and best sense. 1t was the kind of
politics that gains honor and conf
dence for q man and that wins in the
long run.
Mr.. Bryan's desire to deal frankly
with the populists and to give them an
opportunity to act with clear concep-
tion of his own position was altogether
creditable. 1t showed him to be willing
to lose the populist nomination by
honest dealing rather than win it by
consenting to a misconception or to
course that might SAVIOR of deception
or dishonesty. The feeling of party
resentment which might be felt
against man who is willing to sacri-
flee a political opportunity to con-
science must yield to feeling of re-
spect for his courage and probity.
The populists know now that if
their representatives voted for Mr.
Bryan's nomination under a misunder-
standing of the situation the demo-
cratic candidate was not party to the
misunderstanding. They know that
If the popuiist convention acted with
out clear knowledge of the conse-
quences the convention was kept from
securing that knowledge by it's own Of

the street to take stand in the cam
paign, which had become practically
a war of ballots between the masses
and moneyed classes. The committee
appointed by the Union League club
to solicit campaign subscriptions con-
tains practically the same men as would
have appeared on the regular Wall
street campaign organization. In fact.
it is stated by those who are familiar
with the formation of the Union league
committee that it was a direct result
of the original movement among Wall
street men for a money-raising commit
tee.
It is stated that the river and harbor
ring, which is the most notorious and
powerful of all the Washington Hobbies.
has given its usual subscription to the
republican campaign, but has withheld
a like amount from the democratic.
1t has been the custom for this ring
to give to both parties alike in order
to be in command of whichever won.
The only money which the river and
harbor ring will spend for democrats
candidates will be in the congressional
districts where they will seek the cleo
know they can control.
d. O. Mills, who with C. p. Hunting
ton and other tenants of the Mills
building has subscribed literally to
the fund, has other reasons than desir-
ing to elect Mckinley to actuate large
contributions. Mr.. Mills is largely in
terested in the North American Com
1re.cial company, which has the exclu-
sive contract to catch seals on the Alas
kan coast. Several times this company
has been on the point of being investi-
gated by a congressional committee,
which might lead to its losing its mo-
nopoly. A liberal campaign contribu-
ton might not be unproductive in
STAYING off any attempt to deprive the
company of its monopoly profits.
The declaration of the Chicago plat
form in relation to Pacific railways
is sufficient reason for Mr.. Hunting
tons desiring to defeat the democratic
nominee. All of the different corpora
tions allied to the insurance companies
are down for large contributions As
these interests extend TO nearly every
railroad. street car, gas, water and
electric light company of any promi-
nence in the country the amount of
money they can thus swing to McKin-
lev cannot easily be imagined.
Wall street men declare that This IL

million dollars which have been raised
are TO pay printers bills and provide
campaign orators.-San Francisco Ex-

ficers and not by the man who was
most concerned and most anxiods that
the convention should act with full
knowledge of all the circumstances
bearing upon its action.
The revelation of Mr.. Bryan's att.
tude and wishes cannot fail to win him
the respect not only of the populists,
who are chiefly concerned in this mat.
ter, but of all men who love honesty
and courage.-St. Louis Republic.
