q THE SILENCE OF JUDGMENT .

1t is claimed by the new leaders of the
Democracy that a great display of emo
tionalism and impulsiYeness was needed
at Chicago to shake off the old barnacles.
If that is true, there was more method in
the hot-headed speeches that were made
than was suspected at the time. There
were superb oratorical efforts, no doubt,
and great excitement followed, but emo
ton in political convention signifies
nothing. It is not the convention that
elects the President. nor does the enthu-
siasm of a convention often last many
hours after it adjourns. In his speech
presenting Senator Sherman for candidacy
in the convention of 1880, Mr.. Garfield
said: ''Not here in this brilliant circle,
where 5000 men and women are assem-
bled, is the destiny of the republic de-
creed-nOt in Chicago in the heat of June,
but in the sober quiet that comes between
now and the melancholy days of Novem-
ber; in the silence of deliberate judgment
will the great question be settled"
The Democratic party hopes to keep
alive the emotionalism and enthusiasm of
certain acts of the Chicago convention and
have them grow and spread as the cam
paign progresses, but the scheme will fail.
IN the first place the managers have over
rated Bryan's oratorical powers. They
measured him by a short speech, which he
had probably rehearsed fifty times. and
had woven into it every possible "stage
setting" Bot his short talks en- route
from Chicago to his home in Nebraska
have lacked in grace, rhetoric and elo-
quence, and it is by those speeches
speeches that he may deliver as he rushes
over the country-that the people VIII
Judge him, and not only SO, but Bryan's
assertions will not be accepted by think
ing people as facts unless they are we'll
fortified by reasonable data. In the
''silence of deliberate judgment" is where
his oratoTy will avail him nothing, and it
is there where the people settle ali politi-
cal questions.
Unfortunately for Bryan and the Demo-
cratic party, the people have been sitting
too long in the silence of idleness enforced
by that party and the silence of Americas
industries are appealing with too much
eloquence to be saved from Bryanism for
the boy orator to overcome the demand of
the people for protection and prosperity.
The people are terribly in earnest in their
purpose to re-establish those agencies
which conspire for their good, and oratory
which does not deal in facts and figures
and which does not demonstrate beyond
dispute will find that it will be no more
persuasive than the whistling wind. SIN
the silence of deliberate judgment" of the
people 1t will go hard with the Democracy.

sBwALL,s THoRNs.

1t needed Just such man as Arthur
Sewall TO give emphasis to the hypocrisy
of the Chicago conventions expressions of
solicitude for working people, and the
nomination of the Maine millionaire also
throws some light upon Bryan's conven-
ton talk about pressing the "brow of
labor with "crown of thorns." NJ.
Sewall, according to all accounts, is the
kind of man that was referred to some
two thousand years ago in connection
with the eye OF needle. 1t appears that
the Maine man has been in the habit of
pressing down crowns of thorns" upon
the "brow of labor all his life, as did his
father before him.
And Mr.. Sewall must be pretty we'll
known in the world of labor as tyrant of
a taskmaster, for out here in San Fran
cisco the Coast Seamen's Union had very
full account of his inhuman treatment of
his sailors long before he was thought
OF as a Vice Presidential possibility. The
Seamen's Union got its facts from seamen
in the employ of Mr.. Sewall, and the in
formation was made matter of record for
the information of sailors generally that
they might steer clear of the tyrant's
ships. In the light of Mr.. SewalPs repu-
tation for treating iaboring men as if they
were lower than brutes there is seen an
inner meaning to Bryan's cry. "You shall
not press down upon the brow of labor
this crown of thorns." A lawyer, of the
Bryan stamp no doubt, told his client that
they could not put him in jail. "But 1
am in Jail" Yes, know, but they can t
do it." Bryan says his partner shall not
press crown of thorns upon the brow of
seamen, but the pressing goes right ahead.
Unless Bryan is the most arrant hypoefite
alive he will make haste to demand the
withdrawal of Sewall from the ticket, and
make his own candidacy as the nominee
of his party contingent upon the substitu-
ton Of another man for Names million.

ABsoLVED DEMOCRATS.

1t has always been the custom of the
Democratic party when under the con-
demnation of the people to console itself
by remembering its traditions and its un-
swerving loyalty to the principles of JEFF
ferson, and not little was the comfort il
derived from it all. But how low it must
have fallen, even in It's own estimation,
when an ultra-Populistic newspaper like
the Denver NeiCs is constrained to say /:
To-day is q greater day for Populism
than 1t is for Democracy. Democracy
should indeed rejoice. The Democratic
platform this year, save perhaps the sub
treasury matter, is a well-defined declara-
ton of Populist principles. 1t is glorious
