The Nomination of sewnII.

There continues TO be a good deal Of
speculation as to how the nomination Of
Arthur sewall, the democratic candidate
for Vice President, was brought about
Before the balloting for candidate for
Vice President began Mr.. Sewall was not
regarded as a possibility. In fact he
was practically unknown to the conven-
ton. 1t was the understanding, accord
ing to the Chicago dispatches that Mr..
Bryan wanted a poor man nominated for
the second place in order that the ticket
could be called a poor mans ticket. 1t
is asserted that the convention was ad-
iourned on Friday night until Saturday to
prevent the nomination of John r. Nc
Lean OF Cincinnati The only objection
to Mr.. Mclean was that he was a rich
man, and Mr.. Mclean is quoted as having
said on Friday night. TO Mr.. Bryan, that
he would not embarrass him, but would
have his name withdrawn from the list
OF candidates when the convention met
on Saturday. As a matter OF fact. he did
withdraw his name. 1t is not improbable
that he would have been the nominee il
his friends had made an effort to get
the nomination for him.
But a rich mana very rich man-was
nominated for Vice President. If it be
true that Mr.. Bryan wanted poor man
nominated. either his wishes were disre-
garded or else the convention knew very
Oh. ~,
probably that the convention nominated
Mr. Sewall blindly. that Is. nine-tenths
of the delegates were totally unaoquaint-
ed with him or his history, but thought
it would be a good thing to have an
eastern man on the ticket.
There is nothing that can be said
against Mr.. sewan. He Is a man of abil-
ity and high character. but. except in the
matter of free silver coinage, it remains
TO be shown that he is in hearty accord
with Mr.. Bryan or the Chicago platform
He certainly believes in protection to the
ship building industry. and that being the
case it is difficult to see how he avoids
being protectionist. Neither is II posi-
| BILE to see how he can be In sympathy with
the platform denunciation of national
banks, being himself the owner and pres.
ident of a national bank. Indeed there
is quite a number of other things in the
platform that Mr.. Sewan can hardly re-
gard with favor. Still, 1t may be that
his views are not rightly understood
Doubtless when he is notified officially of
his nomination he will make it very clear
what his political views are. and until he
does make statement it is only fair to
assume that all the provisions of the plat
form have his approval

There appears to be a disposition in
some quarters to show Mr.. Bryan up in
the light Of man of destiny and a
prophet of his own fortunes. Various
newspapers stories 10 that end are ap-
pearing. A characteristic one Is TO the

half Of his paper. the Omaha WorId-Her-

The convention has adopted an uneauiv-

limited coinage of gold and silver at 16

for the only practical plan there is for

tuition of our whole monetary system TO
the uses OF spectators and illegitima te
traders in the products of labor No man
stands steadier on such a platform than
William J. Bryan, and no man is better
ntted TO advocate and defend the faith
OF his party. He long antedated the con-
vention in the PRONUNCIATION of the doc
trines which the platform announces. Had
the delegates not adopted a single resolu-
ton they would have written a magnifi-
cent declaration of principles in the noni-
nation OF this eloquent and gallant Ne

as his state honors him.

CURRENT COMMENT.
"RemarkRbIe Chapter of American
Political History"
From the Cbicaao Times EJeraId fTrd \

William j. Bryan, a young Nebraska
lawyer. came to Chicago last week on
an editorial pass. He was at the head
of a contesting silver delegation to the
democratic national convention The ma
tional committee denied his right 10 sit
in the convention, and for two days he
cooled his heels among the spectators.
Friday last he was nominated for Presi-
dent of the United States. He has given
away his editorial pass and will go home
on a special train.

Owing to the noise that has been recent
ly made at Chicago. and echoed in every
part of the country it escaped public at
tention that a candidate for President
was nominated in Brooklyn last week.
His name is Charles II. Machett. and he
is the champion OF the socialist-labor
party. He knows something about the
candidate business, too, having been up
for the Vice Presidency on the same par
tvs ticket four years ago. He is a car
penter by trade and can talk almost as
well as Mr. Bryan, whom the democrats
have nominated. He believes that socie-
ty must eventually be based upon the CO.
operative plan, and declares that "the
revolution now in progress" tends to that
end.

HnrdIx Consistent.

The New York Journal is about the only
New York newspaper of large circula-
ton that has announced its purpose to
support the Chicago platform and ticket.
In the editorial article announcing fits
new departure. it presents defense Of
the Chicago platform. Speaking of the
income tax plank Of the platform. it
says: THE income tax is the backbone
OF the British financial system"
Every day, for more than year, the
silverites have been denouncing the Brit
ish gold standard" and the British hnan-
cial policy" and yet the Journal tells us
that the income tax. which the silverites
put into the Chicago platform. is the
backbone of the British financial sys-
tenn"
Is the Journal qualified to speak for
the democratic platform and those who
made TT II so, is it doing the democratic
party any good by asserting that 1t has
incorporated into its declaration Of prin-
ciples the backbone OF the British fhan-
cial system?"
1t has been our understanding all along
that the free silver coinage policy requir-
ed the condemnation of everything con-
nected with the British financial policy.
Certain it is that the people have been led
so to believe. And now. to have 1t an
nounced thai the democracy has put its
stamp of approval upon the backbone of
the British financial system" is calcu-
lated to create the impression that the
British financial system is not after all,
something to be condemned as being ut
terly unworthy Of our consideration.
Perhaps. the Journal is not authorized to
speak for the Chicago ticket. and plat
form. Unless it speaks more guardedly,
it is not likely to do the ticket any good,

AFTER THE RATTLE.

With the flush Of victory on Old
Glory, the peoples banner, comes
the reaction or rejecting mental
calmness for impartial and proper
judgment. The wrecks and the vic
tors are there, and the question
comes full fledged, what is best to be
done for either or both. After the
battle, when the energies have relax
ed and the head has cooled, come
the moments of conscience, the in
quiry as to what of the past snd how
about the future? We can redeem
somewhat of the past if we will, and
we can ruin our future by immature,
premature and unwise, hasty action.
The field is there and the future goes
on, and the next time it may be as
storm swept as was the country in
1892. 1t is the hope for better fu-
ture and the desire to make it SO,
that should animate voters and So
called politicians. The pelf and sor-
didness that sometimes rushes the
greed of the rounder or grounder in
q despicable and desperate effort to
get all of the crib, and get it all of
the time, if possible, has to be curb
ed, otherwise the people will take a
pull on the bit, for safety. 1t is a
time for reason and for reasoning
together. All are not immaculate
and all are not to be chosen, but the
household should be kept in thor
ough and steadfast sympathy and
touch with each other. Maintain the
structure without litigation as to
heirship,or quarreling as to the par
ceiling or life bits from the family
table. Unison, unity and harmony
must be present, even after the bat
tie.

LA1LA B. MARTIN.

Miss Laila B. Martin, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. W. Martin, of East
John street, died Monday night at
the home of her parents. She has
been i'll for several months, but was
not considered to be 80 near deaths
door until the day she died. While
the end was peaceful, it was none the
less sad, and we sympathize with the
house of mourning. Miss Martin
was born in 1876 and was 20 years
old. Her life was an actively Chris
tian one. At the time of her death
she was secretary of the Sunday
School of the M. E. Church, and the
sublime knowledge of sufferings over
is a comfort to the parents and broth
ers and sisters. The funeral took
place Thursday at 10 a. m. from the
First M. E. Church, services con-

The death of Mrs. Elizabeth Gard
ner, of this city, whose home is on
West John street, occurred at the
home of Mr.. Charles W. Muller, in
Baltimore, on Sunday morning last,
and was due to heart disease. She
was the widow OF tue late Smith
Gardner, whose death occurred ten
or twelve years ago. Mrs. Gardner
was visiting friends in Philadelphia,
from which place her first husband
was, and having concluded her visit
there, went to Baltimore, where she
arrived last Wednesday, to visit Mr..
Muller's family. She did not appear
for breakfast on Sunday morning,
and her friends, after waiting long
time, went to her room, where they
were Mortified to find her dead in
bed. A physician was hastily sum-
moned, but life was extinct, and
heart disease was pronounced the
cause. The remains were brought to
this city and inferred.

MR.. GEO. w. sWARTZ.

The death of Mr.. Geo. Swartz,
we'll known resident OF this city, &C.
Cured at the home of Mr.. Chas. E.
Lockhart, on West King street, on
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Swartz had
been Masking his home with Mr..
Lockhart. Death was due to pa
ralysis. Including the stroke which
causeI his death, Mr.. Swartz was
four times paralyzed. The third
stroke, which rendered him virtual
" helpless, he received last January.
For some time after be lay in criti-
cal condition, but finally rallied and
was out OF danger, although he had
but little use of himself since that
time. His demise was rather sudden
and unexpected. He was apparently
in as good health as usual until Sat.
urday afternoon. He had eaten his
dinner and soon after complained OF
having the collie. A physician was
summoned, but little could be done
for the old gentleman. 1t was seen
that he had suffered another stroke
of paralysis and that it was impossi-
BILE for him to recover. The end was
then looked for until he passed away
at the time mentioned. The deceas-
ed was born in Berkeley county on
Jan. Ia, 1918, and was therefore 78
years of age. His entire life was
spent in this city. His occupstion
was that of miller, and for years he
operated flour mill where the plant
of the Edison Electric Illuminating
Company is now located. He was al
SO in the employ Of the B. Il o.
Railroad Company for a long time.
He was consistent member of st.
Johns Lutheran Church, and had
many friends. Mr.. Swartz was twice
married. His first wife was a Miss
Billmyer, of this city, who died in
1872. His second wife was Miss
Smith, also of this city. She died in
1888. Mr.. Clad Swsrtz, formerly OF
this place, now of Baltimore, was his
only surviving child. A brother, Mr..
J. P. Swartz. OF this city, also sur
wives him. The funeral took place
Tuesday at p. m.
