In the different states the state candl-

members OF the Democracy to follow are
yet TO be determined. In them, and es-
peclally in New York, where David

Tho Democratic convention at, Chi
cage was consistent to the end. William
Jennings Bryan. OF Nebraska, who was
nominated for President, exactly fits
the platform, and Is truly representa-
tive Of the forces which controlled the
convention. a majority Of the Demo-
Gratis OF Nebraska elected delegates In
favor of sound money. but It was ncces-
sary to turn them out to give the silver
men n two-thirds vote, and In TINT way
Bryan and his followers obtained seats
In the convention. He is, however, n
young a with little business expert
ence OF any kind, and his speech shows
that he Ii Il dcmagoguc, with more

After four days devoted to trampllrg
the most cherished traditions OF tho
great Democratic party, the mob OF sill
yer lunatics and Popullst cranks who
usurped the function OF the nation at
Chicago have set up a platform and a
candidate. The platform advocated the
mad spirit OF free and unlimited coin
age OF silver. tr!cked out with demo-
goSue appeals to class and sectional
natred n Sops to Anarchy and the
ranRes socialism. Bryan thoroughly
represents all that Is re~prehcnsible and
to be condemned In the pleas for natIon-
al dishonor. The New York delegates to
the convention took no part in the bal

followed by the Democrats Of the east

BOND MATTER.

The recent Now York Times Dis
patch from. Baltimore, giving tho
alleged details Of tho alleged big
state bond deal, comes in on timt
for campaign purposes. What
will DO tho effect remains to bt
seen IN only short time. Tho
same old song was sung in tho last
campaign only in a lower tone,
with the view of defeating Till
man for the United States Senate.
The people of the State are ac-
cAstomed to such campaign tricks
and will not annoy themselves
much about this would-bo sonsa-
ton, gotten up presumably by tho
enemies Of Governor Evans.
1t is stated by tho Register, that
Governor Evans and Treasurer
Bates arc preparing statement
Tor the public. AS it will speak
Tor itself and satisfy all reason

. sary to wait and see tho samo old
