Bryan Gives Way to Allen.

The friends and admirers of Mr..
Bryan will receive the announcement
that he is unwilling to make the race for
the United States Senate against SenA-
tor Allen with great satisfaction. While
the enthusiastic supporters of Mr..
Bryan would be pleased TO have him a
member of the United States Senate,
they would be unwilling to have him
enter contest which would add moth
ing to his reputation and mean the re-
tirement of such an aa effective and
practical worker for the free coinage
of silver as Senator Allen.
The career of the Nebraska Senator
has been such as to establish his hold
upon tho Western advocates of bimet-
allism. As chairman of the Populist
convention at st. Louis, he rendered a
service to Mr.. Bryan which is greater
than Mr.. Bryan now renders him by
him for the Senate. The letter OF no
tifcation TO Bryan from the Populist
committee, which is generally credited
to Mr.. Allen, and in the preparation of
which he had the cooperation of Mr..
Harris of Kansas and others, was by
far the most automatically worded.
and the most effective campaign docu-
ment, which was given 10 the public in
memorable campaign of 1896.
The fusion forces have need of sach
men as Allen of Nebraska and Harris
of Kansas in the United States Senate.
Their ability to defend their party, aud
the recognition which they force for
themselves by their conspicuous abili-
ty have done much to overcome the
false impression created in the East In
regard TO the Western Populists. Mr..
Bryan will unquestionably strengthen
his hold upon the people of Nebraska
By permitting the fusion forces of his
State to return Allen to the United
States Senate.-K. C. Times.

Towas - Ds Oceup4sd First

Washington, Sept. ga comprehen.
Eve program for moving troops to
Cuba has been outlined by the war De
partment and Its initial features have
been decided upon.
This result In due to directions given
by the President September 10Th 10 the
effect that the details Of troops be
made for Cuba. Acting on this, Major
General Miles outlined plan for
sending two divisions to Cuba, the frs,
under command OF Major General
Wade. to leave in October. and the sec.
ond division under Major General
Fitzhugh Lee. to leave in November.
Each division will embrace about g.
600 men, 70 that the plan is to have
some 12,OOI troops In Cuba or on the
way there within the next sixty days.
II Is not contemplated. however. that
any large number OF this force should
Ike assembled at any one point In this
country or In Cuba, the desire being
to keep them scattered. AZ they can
thereby bs handel to better advantage.
From the fact that they go to Cuba.
1t does not mean that they will pro-
ceed directly to Havana. On the con-
,rary. the outlook Is that there will bc
few troops n Hnvana. the bulk Of
them being scattered through the west
ern end OF the island, gnrrisons at
small towns. and thus gradually putting
into effect the military occupation Of
the island.
In anticipation Of the move. the quar-
terinaster's department Is preparing to
have transports available for the troops.
1t had bs,en intended to thoroughly
overhaul all the vessels, putting them
in dry dock and transforming them
from crude merchant ships into modern
transports. But this plan will have to
be altered In part, to keep transports
ready for the approaching move toward
Cuba.
The War Department to-day gnve
out the order directing the formation
OF the first division which Il to go to
Cubn. II simply creates the division,
making no mention OF the proposed ser
vice In Cuba, or the expected time of
departure. Those features. however,
Were embraced In confidential ttle-
gram sent to the several commanding
officers affected by the order. l,
makes known to them that the division
IL for service In Cuba not later than Oc-
tober 2O,h.
The organizations forming this Octo.
ber division are As follows:

Saratoga. n. y, Sept. T.-Theodore
Roosevelt was nominated for governor
on the first ballot taken in the cOnven-
tion Of New York Republicans.
The nomination WAS walk-Over, the
vote being 753 to 21S. 1t was then
made unanimous. The scenes through
out the proceedings were dramatic und
the widest enthusiasm was shown.
After the name OF Mr.. Roosevelt had
been presented In an eloquent speech
by Mr.. Depew, Elihu Root was called
to the platform by the chairman and
made q statement as to the eligibility
OF Mr.. Roosevelt to hold office. He
said Mr.. Roosevelt had always voted
in Oyster Bay, and had merely re-
moved his personal property to WASH
ingtOn. He had always paid taxes In
Oyster Bay and had merely refused to
pay taxes on property he was using In
Washington, and by his affidavit he
merely said that he was not resident
Of New York.
When Mr.. Root read q letter from
Mr.. Roosevelt to his lawyer, asking
for some money and saying that he
had expended 40 much money that he
was beyond his income. Mr.. Root said:
Mr.. Roosevelt had expended that
money to raise the Rough Riders
There WAS great burst OF applause
and Mr.. Root closed by saying the doc
umentary proof not only showed that
he never Ind lost his residence, but
rather had paid money that he was
not obliged to pay to retain 1t.
The complete ticket nominated is US
follows:
For Governor Theodore Roosevelt of
Oyster Bay.
Lieutenant Governor-TimOthy l..
Woodruff OF Kings.
Comptroller-William J. Morgan OF
Erie.
Secretary OF State-John r. McDon-
ough OF Albany.
State Treasurer-John Il. Jacckel OF
Caynga.
State Edward a. Bond OF
Jefferson.
Attorney Gcneral-John II. Davies of
Oneida.
The platform congratulates the coun-
try upon the conclusion of the war
with Spain. praises the patriotic wis
dom, the patient courage and the broad
humanity which distinguished the con
duct OF President Mckinley during the
critical periods of diplomatic negotia-
tions and battle. and which now guide
him In the restoration of peace"

Were 1t not foS two or three trlhing
seeming errors. every state or society
might live for ages under perfect
equality. In the settlement OF new
countries l have often observed this.
At first all are poor. busy and con-
tented. The whole life Of society pro-
ceeds under four heads. First. max
Ing: second. carrying or distributing;
third. consuming: fourth, redistribut-
ing. In the new society all the net
profits are redistributed as rapidly as
possible and therefore all are en-
ployed.

There Is good reason why the leader
In an exploit such as Hobson's should
be given special credit. for experience
tells us that he must have inspired his
men by his example, 1t is so also with
other leaderships besides those OF war.
Those who follow may be as brave as
the leader after they get started. but
they have no, his initial courage or
they would start without him. The
leaders In great social and political
reforms start out usually under most
discouraEius circumstances. but they
have faith and courage. and hnally
through their persistence gather = few
followers whom they inspire by their
example. when success crowns their
efforts their supporters are entitled to
credit. hut the chief honors fall na'ur-
ally to the leaders, withou, whom the
movemen, would not have been under.
taken.
