NOW FOR THE BATTLE!

Mr.. Bryan says he will not accept the
nomination rendered him by the Populist
convention, but what OF that2 A large
following of Populist leaders who are
favorable to Bryan would support him
anyhow, which is enough to bring the
worst element of the Democratic and Pop
ulist parties under one banner. Indeed the
com oination is now ready to battle for the
overthrow of liberty under law that there
may be established IN the United States a
system of government based upon the
principles that the Commune of France
has repeatedly tried and failed to make
the basis OF political commonwealth.
But it is better so. 1t is better that the
lines between liberty and law and COM
munism be drawn now. 1t is better that
the strength of the Nation as a govern
ment of the people, by the people and for
the people be measured now. 1t is better
that it be determined now whether the
Nation shall go from strength to strength
in the God-appointed work of broadening
and deepening the foundations of liberty,
peace and happiness, or whether it shall
reverse the wheels of human advancement
and turn every mans hand against every
other man.
1ue OHlt6u ObateS mas come 10 the pArD-
ing of the ways. The one leads to Ma
tional salvation, the other to National
damnation. There is no middle way, no
place for neutrality, nothing to be COM
promised. It is the maintenance of the
Government of the fathers, or it is the
cutting loose from the moorings which
hold the people to certain Godgiven
rights, the chief of which are "life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
In 1861 the body polite fell sick from in
haling the poisonous fumes OF sectionalism
and the spirit of liberty purged it Of the de-
stroying political microbes. Party lines
were for the time obliterated, and in
united effort unionism confronted and
overthrow sectionalis;n. In 1861 treason
did not demand the overthrow of the
Government. 1t demanded g separate
National organization for itself. In 1895
the demand is for a united country to
annul and set aside the existing principles
of government and substitute for them
something that Is far worse than those
things which impelled the colonies to
separate themselves from Great Britain.
The lines are drawn and the battle must
be fought, and as there is not room
! enough in this country for Altgeldism
and the Republic as it is, one or the other
must be destroyed. It is for the people to
say which shall survive.

BRYAN,s PREDIoAMENT.

Mr.. Bryan says he will not accept the
Populist nomination, and he may not,
but the chances are that he will. There
appears TO have been much fine political
work during the last days Of the couven-
ton, and in the light which now, shines
upon the finished work one can see that
those two old and cunning ex-Democrats,
Governor Holcomb and Senator Allen of
Nebraska, have not forgotten the tricks
and craftiness for which they were dis
tinguished when they trained with the
Democratic party. If it was the plan to
nominate Bryan without reference to the
platform and to sacrifice Sewalf to solidify
the Southern Populists it may be said that
1t worked well, but a boomerang has been
hurled which is sure to return and smite
the throwers. Instead of laying the basis
Tor harmony dynamite has been placed
unde< both parties. and when the smoke
clears away in November it will be found
that the new Democracy is in shreds and
the Populist party with just enough
vitality to build another effort upon.
Mr.. Bryan is placed in a most awkward
position, as he will find after the excite
ment of the convention is over. If he
sticks to the Chicago platform the South
ern Populists will not support him. If he
attempts to annex the Populist platform
to the Democratic platform Northern
Democrats will stay at home on election
day. In the South the Populists will
name Bryan and Watson electors in any
event, which will oblige the Democrats to
abandon Sewal or run their own electoral
ticket. In the North and West, most
likely, the middle-of-the-road Populists
will make the naming of Bran and Wat
son electors the condition o. affiliation.
That would exasperate the Democrats, for
in it they would see the extinction of their
party; and, on the other hand, If the
Populists should yield and accept Sewall
they would be repudiating the work OF
their own party, and their State organiza-
tions would go out OF existence.
In Congressional and State elections
there could be no cooperation between
the Democrats and Populists, for in a
Presidential campaign the National ticket
is expected to help pull local tickets
through. 1t would hardly do for Demo-
cratic and Populist orator to travel to-
gother, for one would have to praise and
the other denounce Sewall. which would
be the same as praising or denouncing the
Populist and Democratic conventions.
Mr.. Bryan expects to pretty nearly live
on the hustings. but how will he manage
with two running mates who are calling
one another hard names all the time? If
he defends Sewall Watson's friends will
refuse him their support, and he would
be in the same dilemma in regard to
Sewall. Verify, the young but am bilious
youth from Nebraska is between the devil
and the deep sea, with Populists to the
right of him, communists to the left of
him and Altgeld on top of him.
