An 80 on 20 the finish Turning from
ihe local bearing Of this article Sc IS an
interesting question from such a source
that Mr. Bryan Is no longer the choice of
the politicians and that they arc en-
deavorins 20 defeat him. Why so? The
politicians the men who run the party
are always after success They look
for the popular issue and FOR the avail
able" candidate There is not Yuch
sentiment in your practical politicians.
Success. en- HIS opinion is the criterion
Of excellence and success SIS the thing
that be is after II politicians have in
deed tired OF Mr.. 3ryan and are con-
spring against him. it is because they
have satisfied themselves that they can
not win a victory with Bryan In the lead.
The domination of Bryan means the
nrht Of 1896 over again. and the practical
politicians know that with such a load
as this to carry. defeat IS a foregone con-
clusion
Bourke Cochran once said Of the Hon.
Grover Cleveland. that he was that most
popular man in the United states-except
ON the day OF election. IT would seem
that the practical politicians i'm the Dem
ocrauc party are taking much the same
view OF Mr. Bryan's popularity.

Under the impression several days ago
that the City Committee of Richmond
would give the Democrats Of this city
an opportunity 10 express their choice
OF candidates for United States senator
when the primary should be held, the
Blackstone Courier said
This. we think both a wise and adj
mirable plan. The State Committee IN
refusing 90 order a general primary or
TO call a convention TO nominate a sena-
tor. asserted that in the different cities
and counties the voters had right 10
instruct their representatives and IN
making the request the Richmond candi-
dates are merely putting into effect this
suggestion of the state Committee. This
viii give the Richmond voters an oppor-
tunity to express their choice and relieve
their representatives of the embarrass-
mont of making a decision between the
two aspirants for senatorial honors."
That IS the whole subject in nutshell
The principal argument used against The
general state primary was that tthe same
result could be accomplished through To-
cal primaries and it was clearly the
understanding that each community
would settle this matter for itself
