The Passing OF BRYAN.

Signs multiply that the schism In the
party which marched under the name of
Democracy until the revolutionists tri-
umphed In 1890 Is growing wider and
deeper. The average Popocrat hates the
Democrat more heartily than he hates
the Republican. The average Democrat
sees far more to condemn In the Chicago
platform than in the st. Louis platform.
II this bitterness has grown to its present
proportions In seven months, who can
measure the magnitude It will attnin by
1907 So sturdy Of heart are the sound
money Democrats that they nreaseriously

the value of leaf tobacco, which is one of
the chief farm staples of the South and

Mr. Bryan says that he took my
