MIR. BRYAN AND THE PARTY.

Colonel w. j. Bryan telegraphs the Chi
cago Tribune that It depends on the demo
cratic National platform whether he Is a
candidate for the democratic presidential
nomination, and then remarks that the
platform should fit the party and the can
didate fit the platform.
The enemies of Mr.. Bryan have been
trying in every way to get from him an
expression as to whether he would give
way in the interest of harmony to some
other man. His reply to the Chicago
paner is clear and manly and comes nearer
answering directly what his enemies want
ed to know but were afraid to ask point
eddy. than any utteranoe he has made.
Mr.. Bryan intimates Enthusiastically that
II the platform does not At him he would
not become a candidate. This means, on
the other hand. that he is a candidate If
the platform fits the democratic party.
The proposition that the platform should
fit the party is but another way of saying
that parties are not made for platforms,
but that the latter should fearlessly and
unequivocally declare the honest purposes
and principles of those who promulgate
them. a gold plank in democratic plat
form, for example. would not at the demo-
cratic party now any more than an anti
trust plank in the republican platform
would fit the republican party.
In word MIR, Bryan's position Is that
honesty and the fitness of things should
prevail in the actions of party conventions
and of candidates for nomination. He
would not feel thai he was true to himself
TO accept a nomination upon a platform
OF expediency or one that did not fully
represent democratic views. Nor would
the party be worthy OF respect If it stulti-
fed itself by abandoning its principles
and announcing a creed that did not repre-
sent the majority views of the men COM
posing the party.

this time, when some so-caled democratic
leaders. or expsdlency democrats, are

"LYNCHING AND LAwLEssNESs.,
Eheme of Sermon by Rev. George
Heber ut Chicago.


Heber ut ChicngO.
Chicago, August 13.-"Lynching and
Lawlessness" was the subject which Rev.
George Heber pastor of the First Baptist
church of Montgomery, Ala. preached
from today in DR.. Henson's pulpit, the
First Baptist church OF Chicago.
He said: II speak under the behest of
an exigency, In view of the epidemic OF
lawlessness that has prevailed in our
land, alike alarming in the lynching mania
of the South and the mob violence OF the
North. The citizen or minister of God
who stands by in silence and let these
things pass is guilty OF nothing short of
disloyalty to the state and inhdality of
God.
Capital and labor, riches and poverty,
employer and employe In all this favored
section-what are they in the thought of
many but enemies arrayed against each
other, only waiting the word of some rash
leader to bring on a desperate clash and
the bloodshed OF lawlessness. Scarcely a
day passes that we do not read of some
new addition to the long list of strikes and
lynchngs that have made our fair land
a Kissing and byword among the nations
of the world ! plead for calm, dis
passionate unsectional consideration of
these portentous facts. The disgraceful
lynchings occur chiefly in the South the
lawless labor troubles almost exclusively
in the North; 1t is pleaded for both that
they have peculiar proyooailon. But shall
prnvocation be pleaded as justification for
either form of lawlessness?
Take the strikes OF this summer. What
justification can be pleaded for them?
Such things are Ineligible in times of
panic and distress. but how about times
like these? We are prosperous beyond
precedent. Who can tell where the hur-
ricane Of discomfort will strike next?"
