The New York World printed an open
letter to Mr.. Bryan, asking him to def ne
in his speech of acceptance his position on
several plsnks In the Chicago platform.
The World says that II Mr.. Bryan could
convince the undecided Democrats that
1t would be safe for them to vote the party
ticket, the world would comply with Mr..
Bryan's imitation to support him. The
World now supports Mr.. Bryan. There
must have been something convincing
In Bryan's speech Of acceptance.

The kicking "Gold" Democrats have
ollled a convention to be held at Indian.
apolis, Indiana, on Wednesday, Septem-
ber 2, at which time they'll wrestle with
building new platform and the naming
of new ticket We can't see how such
kicker's combine can be made to .pan
out all that its most sanguine supporters
look for it. 1t will be a gold kick, pure
and simple, and as such will have about
as much effect on the body polite as the
work of flee against an elephant. How
ever this being free country, man can
do as he pleases, so long as he breaks no
law and does not injure his neighbor.

POLITICS IN MAINE.

Thomas b. Reed, in q speech before the
Lincoln Club at Portland last week, re-
iterated that old but not true maxim,
Gas Maine goes, so goes the Union"
Nobody at this election expects Maine
to go Democratic in September. Since
1854 1t has been reliably Republican
state A Democrat has once in while
slipped into Congress, and twice Demo
cratic governors have been elected by
some fusion of parties. But it never was
doubtful state as New York, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and many other states.
In 1880, at the September election, the
Democrats elected Harris NJ. Plaisted,
governor, and in Novembe the Republi-
cans carried the country. Four years
later the Republicans carried the state by
nearly 20, 900 majority in September, and
the Democrats carried the country in
November In 1890 the Republicans
at their state election, carried everything
in sight, and two months later, they were
literally wiped off the face OF the, earth
by the greatest political revolution of
monern times
1t is well known that the Republican
committee have dumped into the Pine
Tree State" many thousands of dollars to
corrupt voters. They expect to carry
Maine by large majority in: Septem Der
for the purpose of making the people be-
lieve that the tide is veering towards the
Republican party.

The only reasonable explanation of
the result of the republican caucus IN Bur-
lington Wednesday evening, when
Stickney delegates to the State conven-
ton were elected by a majority of l6S
out of a total of 62S votes, is that the
greater part of the voters of the city de-
sire the nomination of Mr.. Stickney as
the head of the State ticket. The Free
Press undertakes to say that Mr.. CIRCUITS
defeat was due to "Over-cOntidence on
the part of the friends of Maj. GrOut and
crafty management on the part of Mr..
Stickney's friends" But this is lame
and impotent excuse. 1t has been
known to at least dozen people way
down here in Middlebury for a week or
more that there was to be fight in the
Burlington caucus, and the possessors of
this knowledge were both Stickney and
Grout men. Explanations which do not
explain are often worse than none at all.
