had been manipulating the party for priv ate gain and using the government for pub lie plunder. There are many of these de- serters whose return to the party would bring weakness rather than add strength, and there are. millions of democrats who would not surrender line of the Chicago platform to recover every deserter who left because of real antagonism to the prin- ciples set forth in that platform. I do not refer to those who were misled. There were many who left because they did not fully understand the issue raised, and they are coming back of their own accord, be- cause they find themselves in sympathy with our platform.
 The party can win more voters by stead fastly standing by the right than by weak ly compromising with error, and those won back to the platform will be useful when they return, while those who profess at tachment to the democratic name rather than to democratic principles will always require watching.
 The democratic party has put its hand to the plough, and unless I mistake the spirit which animates the members, 1t will not look back. w. J. BRYAN.

PIOWMAN SEEMS DOOMED TO DEFEAT Committee Reported SOlidly For Un-
 seating Him. VOTE WILL BE TAKEN TODAY Republicans Played Upon Alabama'S Al-
 leged llliteraGy, AND CLAIMED ELECTION FRAUDS Much Laughter Created By Mann. a Republi- can, Declaring the Populists to Be the
 Friends of Honest Govern
 ment and Fair Elections.
AND CLAIMED ELECTION FRAUDS
Special to The Age-Herald.

Washington, Feb. S.-Plowmanis friends are making a determined fight to allow him to retain his seat in the house, but with very little hope of success, as was so ably stated by Judge Settle of Kentucky in his argumnt for Plowman this afternoon. Members seem to forget that they are act ing in a judicial capacity, when they are deciding a contested election case and they allow their party prejudices to sway them just as they do when voting for a question of public policy.
 From a purely legal aspect it seems as if Plowman has the best case. The argu- ments of the republican members of the committee who addressed the house today, especially that of MT. Mann, of Chicago, were arguments more against the elec- ton laws and the alleged illiteracy Of the citizens of Alabama than against Flow mans right to his seat They gave no reason why Aldrich should be seated be- yond the fact that the election laws of Alabama were not sound and that their administration was weak.
 Negro Votes Counted Out
 They relied largely on the fact, and, In fact, the whole strength of their case seems to lie on the supposition that all the negro votes that were counted for PlowTnan were cast for Aldrich. Proof was not consid- cred at all but supposition appeared to De the order of the day. The assertions of Mann were by far the widest, and his statement that he was the son Of south- ern father and southern mother evoked considerable laughter on the democratic side. .s s5..l
 10 see a republican standing up and lauding a populst was surely an example of the old adage: Politics makes strange bed-fellows,' and much laughter was in- dulged in at the expense Of Mann when he Iauded the popullst party as the friend of good government and honest elections. The vote will be taken at o'clock tomor- row. Linney uep) of North Carolina, Bartlett (den.) of Georgia and Hamilton (rep.) of Iowa yet to speak. It is not probable that either Aldrich or Plowman will speak for themselves. -
