LET NEW YORK RANT.
Omaha World-Herald Says Boiling N.
Y. Paners Do No Harm.

Omaha, Neb., July 16.-The Omaha
World Herald, w. J. Bryan's personal
organ, of which he is the editor says
editorially under the heading, Let the
Heather Rage
with the exception of the New York
Journal, the New York Mercury and the
New York News, the Democratic press
of New York bolts the Democratic
ticket, followed by various large and
small papers in other towns of New
York and New England.
Possibly these eastern newspapers
may imagine that their action is of
large political significance and import
ance-
"They are in error. A president of
the United States can be elected this
year without the aid or consent Ofrthe
eastern states, which have in the past
dictated nominations and swayed cleo
lions.
Every time a gold bug Democrat
goes to Mckinley in New York he paves
the way for two silver Republicans to
come to Bryan in the west. Every time
a gold bug Democrat paper in New
York repudiates the Democratic plat
form it renders more certain the re-
pudiation of the Republican gold plat
form among the thousands of Repub-
Hcans in the middle and western states.
THE New York gold bug papers are
practically impOtent. Their efforts to
injure silver in New York make votes
for silver in the doubtful states. If
New York gold bug Democrats can
abandon party lines to injure silver,
then certainly western silver Repubh-
cans can leave the party to help sill
yer.
1T so happens that we need votes in
some western states and their loss in
New York will do US no harm. Let
the heather rage"

for Him.

St. Louis. July 6-Ex-Governor
Waite of Colorado, who will head the
delegation from that state, is out for
1ndOrsing the Bryan and SeWaI ticket
and will begin work for them when he
arrives He is backed by the deIega-
ton from Colorado. The biggest fight

strong wing of the party, headed by
Chairman Taubeneck, Sergeant-at-
Arms Mcdowell. Chairman RozeIfe of
the Missouri state committee, propose
to make fight for the adoption of the
Omaha platform instead of an indorse-
ment of the Chicago declaration.
In discussing the probable action of
the Populist convention in the matter
of the Endorsement of W. J. Bryan for
president, J. T. Flynn, who is dele
gate-at-large to the American BimetaI-
lie convention from California and also
editor of the PopuIist of San Francisco,

what the convention will do, but there
is none about what the POpulists them
selves will do. They Will vote for

MR.. ECKELS' THOUGHTS.
He Believes a Gold Standard Demo-
cratic Ticket Ought to be Put Up.

Washington, July 16.-Mr. Eekels, the
comptroller of the currency has re-
turned to Washington from the Chi
cago convention. He is an earnest be-
lever in the wisdom of putting a gold
standard Democratic national ticket in
the field as a means of accomplishing
the defeat of the free silver candidates
and he believes that this will be done
Mr.. Eckels said today:
Il believe the nominees of the Chicago
convention ought to be defeated be-
cause of the principles enuncfated in
the platform upon which they stand
and which they unqualifedly indorse-
The point of interest with Democrats
who reject the action of the conven-
ton ought to be how the largest and
most effective majority can be secured
against the ticket named Ny opinion
is that naming of candidates of high
character and the framing of a plat
form sound in every particular would
aid to this end.
THE educational work most needed
is within the Democratic party. 1t
would also give the Democratic press
something tangible to advocate.
THE larger the contribution of Dem
ocratic votes to the defeat of the Chi
cago nominees, the better will it be in
the end for the usefulness of the par
tY.'

RAILROAD IS CENSURED.
Omaha Bee Criticises the Action of
the C. & N. in the Logan Wreck.


Omaha. July 16.-The Bee of yester-
day contained the following editorial
under the caption, Unparalleled Bru-
tality'':
twenty-five men, women and child
rem killed outright and three-score
manned or mangled. This. in a word,
is the result of the most terrible rail-
way disaster that has ever taken place
whiting 200 miles of Omaha.
More than 10000 people thrown into
an fnexpressibIe apprehension over the
horror of the possible loss of dear re-
latives or friends. The whole city is in
a state of suspense and anxiety for
hours and hours; and yet the managers
of the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road, ON which this frightful calamity
occurred, deliberately and persistently
closed all avenues by rail and tele-
graph to both press and public by
which any information might be OBJ
tanned.
This is not all. In their zeal to sup
press all reports of the true situation
these officials repeatedly denied that
any serious accident had occurred, and
even went so far as to contradict the
reports from this city to the Associated
Press announcing a fatal railroad
wreck on their line.
president Hughitt is too humane a
man to countenance, much less approve,
such treatment of the public. He owes
it to himself, as we'll as the people of
Omaha and Council Bluffs, to locate the
responsibility for this outrage and to
afford such redress as is within his
DOJver''
