HOW THEY LOOK AT 1T.

The Populist party might as well shut up
shop. All its available assets have been
stolen by the silver wing of the Democracy.
Hastings Gazette.
We do not suppose that Mr. Hanna has
his hand on the throttle at Chicago, as he
had at st. Louis, but if he has he could have
asked no more favorable platform for his
candidate for the presidency than our separ-
ated brethren have agreed to give him.-Los
Angeles Express.
The Chicago convention has passed into
history. 1t will be memorable among politi-
cal bodies in this country for having been
dominated by the widest financial delusion
OF the century and by. reaetlonary and
revolutionary spirit which, il permitted to
have its way. would bring much disorder and
disaster to the political, financial, industrial
and social affairs of the people of the United
States as the world has never Witnessed

Bryans nomination marks the high-tide of
the silver flood. From now until November
the water will recede, and among the many
stranded Objects in its wake, the boy orator
of the Platte will not be the least conspicu-
Gus. A campaign of education such as Is
sure to follow the nomination of the two
great parties, will have its salutary effect
and the masses who, have been blinded and
deceived by an artfully contrived scheme for
will awaken to "a sense of the danger into
which they were about to be voluntarily
plunged.-ChippeMa Herald.
Will the minority who in the convention
were represented by one-third, and even
more. humbly follow, and support. with voice.
money and votes. the newborn Democratic
ticket? Not by any means.-St. Joseph News.
The platform adopted by the Chicago con-
vention is such declaration Of purposes and
principles as no consistent Democrat and no
lover of the country can conscientiously ap-
prove. No man; fit ito be president of the
United States could in honor stand upon it;
and it Is therefore, quite unnecessary to con-
slider what manner of persons have been pre-
sented for the suffrages of the people.-Phila-
delphfa Record.
without regard to methods and manners
the convention will be judged by its results,
its platform and its candidates. There will
be little objection to the platform except the
currency portion, and that is much milder
than the wild and radical one adopted in
Iowa a few weeks ago that. it seems quite
respectable. Dubuque Herald.
st. Louis was graveyard. Chicago was a
cradle. The old Republicans died. The new
Democracy was born.

To the splendid abilities and attractive per-
sonality of Mr.. Bryan the Post Dispatch has
already borne testimony. He will grow On the
people as the campaign progresses. He will
inspire the young mem in particular with
the fire of his own zeal. By seeking and
following the eounsels of the wisest of his
party, he will dispel from the minds of the
conservative the fear that he is erratic
genius, whom it would be unsafe to trust
with executive power.-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.
One would expect that a convention COM
posed of nearly one thousand men. who are
supposed to do the thinking for the Demo
cratic people of the republic, could be relied
upon to act with circumspection, sound judg-
ment, and the greatest elaboration, especial
ly in the matter of nominating a candidate
for president of the United States. But in
stead of this we see the orat6ry of a youth
carry the convention off it's feet and this
convention, apparently without reflection
proceeds to nominate him.-Duluth News
Tribune.
