BRYAN'S LEADERSHIP.

1t is conceded at last, by Republi-
cans and Democrats alike, that Will
liam Jennings Bryan will be the stand
ard bearer again next year, and that
he will run upon a platform demanding
the free and independent coinage of
silver. AS the New York Mail and Ex-
press puts it, Bryan's nomination will
force the silver issue to the front, "even
if no platform at all were adopted"
One by one the distractions to his
denomination have fallen away without
the least effort on his part and he
stands today the candidate of the free
silver forces for the presidency of this
republic just as truly as if a half dozen
conventions had already met and named
him as the standard bearer for 1900.
The Dewey boom persisted in embryo:
the Mclean boom remains in statu quo
unaided by developments IN Ohio, and
now Tammany has washed it's hands
of the German boom. Alleged Demo-
Gratis who believe in the gold standard
will have another opportunity to sup
port the Republican ticket, while no
man who favors bimetallism can stul-
tify himself by affiliating even locally
with a national party that is pledged to
financial measures like the one pro-
posed by the Republican caucus and en-
dorsed by the president.
Bryan is stronger with his party to-
day than he was in 1896, and no Dem
ocrat has been able to offer a single
reason why he should not be renomin-
ated.
His cause his endeared itself to the
people. He is their leader, the cham
pion of their rights and liberties, the
foe of their oppressors.
To change such a leadership would
be worse than folly. 1t would be a sur
render to the influences that have been
encroaching year by year upon the
rights and liberties of free people.

Edmunds states the law which is as
follows:
The constitution of the United States
provides that the house OF representa-

to judge of the election is merely the
power to ascertain whether majority of
the legal voters have in the manner pro-

age; he must have been seven years a
citizen of the United States: he must
have been at the time of his election an
inhabitant of the state. OF these three
requisites the house Is the judge If he
possesses these the house has. in my
opinion no lawful power to apply any
other or further test in respect of his
being admitted 10 a seat. 1t would be ex-
tremely dangerous for constitution to
give majority of a house the right to
determine what particular sort of man the
people of state should have the right TO
elect TO represent them further than our
constitution has declared.
Expulsion by arbitrary action is
favored by Mr.. Edmunds. This, how
ever, he comedies to be a dangerous

who, with all the enormous amount OF

time. until today his name is a synonym
for all that is magnificent in the art of
portrait painting.

A good Monday night audience was
on hand at the Grand last night to
witness Coon Hollow" The play is
one of the intensely interesting roman
tic and melodramatic order, and quite
a decided change from the frequent
vaudeville and burlesque productions
There are bomb shells cotton presses.
steamboats, and every sort of melodra-
matte catch for the gallery, which was
well filed and enthusiastic. The story
is founded on familiar lines. and is of
the kind which seems never to fail in
interest. The actors sustain their parts
well. Mr.. Stanley Johns and Miss
Madge Neville are an interesting pair
of mischief-makers, Miss Neville in
particular giving a well sustained per-
formance. Miss Lydia Dickson made
an attractive young girl. although
somewhat lacking in talent for the emo
tional. Minnie Pearl created much
laughter by her portrayal of the maid
en- lady The other parts were filled
by w. j. Coggswell. j. \. West and
r. NJ. Henley. Mr.. Henley also cor
tributed some popular solos. The real
coons- with the company made q hit
with their singing and dancing. and
were repeatedly recalled. The audience
followed the story of Coon Hollow"
with interest. The piece runs tonight
the remainder of the week by the
Rentz-Santley Buriesque company.
The sale of seats opens at the Salt
Lake theatre this morning for
mile. Fiji This is the play
which proved such tremen-
dous drawing card in New York last
season. where IL ran for nearly 200
nights. Fiji is of French origin, and
for three acts exploits a series of COM
plications incident to the marriage of
a young French viscomte with a Bos-
ton girl. The play comes to the Thea
tire Thursday and Friday nights.
