THE SEVERITY OF THE TEST.

The National Democrat Is a sorelv
tried individual. On the one side the
men with whom he has stood shoulder
to shoulder in past conflicts with the
common enemy, reproach when they
do not revile him. His Democracy is
denied him because he refuses to ac-
cept the DEGREES Of national conven-
ton as Democratic. He is told that
the rule of the majority is the first law
of Democracy and the majority de-
creed that all Democrats should vote
for Bryan and support the platform.
He is asked what he hopes to accom-
plish; whether 1t would not be better
to endure even what Is predicted Of
rree coinage than to restore the party
to whose vicious teaching and Iegis-
lation the present conditions are due:
whether. Democracy, even in its pres
ent estate. Is not better guardian Of
the peoples interest than is Republ-
can McKinleyism. From this degree
of expostulation, comment descends
to reproaches and revilings. He is a.
disorganizer, disrupter, a renegade
and traitor
This could be endured, as could be
the reflection that his vote for Palmer
will be half a vote for Mckinley. sharn
as Is the sting Of that thought, for he
would remember that his position is
not due to any act Of his; that 1t has
been forced on him and is owing solely
to his persistency in adhering to the
faith taught to him as Demo-
cratic and. therefore, right. But there
are times when his position approaches
the uncomfortable, and this is when he
reads the speeches the Mortgaged Man
is delivering to the gaping crowds on
his lawn In Canton. 1t Is when he
reads the editorials In Republican pa
pers attriouting the financial depres-
sion to the advent of his party with
its promise Of release from thraldom

ISDiASAroLIs, Sept. 1.-The DEL
egates to the national democratic
convention came in at a lively rate
last night and this morning from all
parts Of the union. Tbree-quarters
Of them are expected here before
night. They bring throng Of visi-
tors. Much enthusiasm prevails.
The boom for the nomination OF
Cleveland, started last night, is being
discouraged by the presidents
friends who say he would not accept.
The majority Of the Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio. Tennessee and Ala
b,ma delegations seem to be for
watterson.
IL is already apparent that there
will be struggle over the platform.
The suggestion tha, IL be confined
to a declaration on the money issue
Is not kindly received. There is 70
question but that it will cover the
whole situation and make vigorous
reply to the Chicago declarations.
The tariff plank will probably
not bc as radical as four yelrs
ago, but will be a clear declar-
alton for tariff for revenue on'y.
The points on which wide
divergence OF opinion is likely are
the income tax and national bank
currency. The southern and west
ern delegates advocate the former.
the eastern delegates the latter.
