passengers have come TO the conclusion
that he Is 70 be the Tammany hall can

were made 10 draw Mr.. Croker out on
this subject, but not only to newspaper
correspondents, but TO his most intimate
friends on board, did he decline to state
his purposes. The understanding among
Mr.. Cookers friends however, is that
he is very strongly inclined TO permit
the use OF his name as candidate for
mayor, though he Is naturally unwilling
that an announcement should be made to
this effect before he has had an opportu-
nifty to confer with his lleutenants.
II have not the slightest doubt that

ELECTION OF CUBAN PRESIDENT
Postponed on Account OF the Non-Arrlva
OF some Of tho Deputies.

OF Some or tho DeputIes'
NEW YORK, Sept, IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: 1t is
reported here on reliable authority that
the meeting of the constituent assembly
which was to have taken place on Sep
TENDER at Camaguey, was postponed.
The reason for the postponement of the
convention which was to elect a president
OF the Cuban republic is not yet known
here. 1t Is, however, surmised that the
cause for the delay Is the non-arrival at
Camaguey on the day fixed for the meet
ing OF the assembly of some OF the dep
uties representing the Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth army corps,
II is explained by the agents of the
insurgents in this city that the bad con-
ditlon of the roads at this season of the
year In Cuba renders very difficult the
march of the men who are to reach
Camaguey from Pinar del Rio, Havana,
Matanzas and Las Villas. in order to
take part in the election. The passage
OF the Jucaro- MORON trocha is one of
the many serious obstacles which the
contingent OF troops accompanying the
eastern deputies will have to overcome
before they reach the meeting place Of
the assembly.

Good for the Republicans OF virginia.!

against Republicans. The veteran mem

follow their state committee in It's at

In opening the Nebraska campaign
William j. Bryan said, referring to the
present prosperity in the west, that he
was certain the fine crops of the state
and the resultant prosperity throughout
Nebraska would contribute to the sue
cess of the silver ticket. He knew the
people of this great nation would not be
interested in the cry that the prosperity
of the nation as a result of abundant
crops at homo and fatal famine in India
and elsewhere was conducive to perma-
nent prosperity in the United States"
He knew they did not want prosperity
at such frlghtful cost
This is a fair sample OF the sort of nom
sense Mr.. Bryan is indulging in just
now, in lieu Of a frank and honest dis
cussion OF the situation. What does Mr..
Bryan mean by referring to India, which
is not a wheat-eating country? The re-
cent famine In India has nothing to do
with the matter and there is no famine
IN any other country that anybody has
heard Of There is a shortage OF the
wheat crop In Europe. which has In
creased the demand for the product OF
America, but there is no famine, no
starvation, for European countries are
able to buy all We can send them, and
the American farmer is duly grateful
that he can supply the demand.
Mr.. BryanIs simply drawing on his
Imagination to state false premise, or
he is ignorant OF the real situation In
Europe He is preaching the doctrine
that our American farmers, instead Of
rejoicing over the good prices they are
getting for their products in honest 100
cent dollars, should be sorry that there
is a great foreign and home market for
the enormous surplus they have to dis
pose OF.
The Chicago Times Herald, in sum-
ming UP Mr.. Bryan's weak attempts to
explain away the disastrous effects the
prosperous condition of the farmers and
the growing prosperity of the country
are having on his silver hobby, remarks:
THE noticeable thing about the silver
cause is that 1t must have calamity OF
some kind for foundation. Last year 1t
was the depression among ourselves.
This year It Is the depression abroad.
Any way you fix 1t they catch the coon
a goin' and a comm. A cause that has
no better support is a lost cause"
All OF which is true. Mr.. Bryan Is in
very deep hole and the more he strug-
giles to crawl out the deeper in he gets.

Character is not luck, A man may be
lucky in knowing the full value Of
good character, but unless he has the
moral strength to build and preserve 1t
his luck counts for nothing. One OF the

the knowledge the people have OF Its
character. Its past record Is an assur-
ance OF high achievements in the future.
II stands for stability and progress.
When, therefore. It is given control OF
the government every business man
feels new confidence and an impulse TO
spread out his ventures instead OF con-
tracing them. AS this increase Of &C.
