TROUBLES OF THE BRYANITEs.

To the outsider there appears to be no
cause for IL, but II is asserted that Mr..
Bryan's friends are not so sure of his re-
nomination as they would like to BE- The
two-thirds rule adopted by an early Demo-
cratic convention TO prevent the renomina-
ton of Van Buren,. still holds in Democratic
national conventions by precedent 1t Is said
the Bryanites would like to have IL set
aside, since those who are secretly plotting
against the denomination of Mr.. Bryan
could prevent IL II they could obtain a few
more than one-third of the delegates TO
stand by them. The Bryan leaders distrust
the Germans. the Crokers. the McLeans. the
Harrisons and the less conspicuous lead
ers who are opposed to the silver folly as a
platform plank
The probable nomination OF Mclean for
Governor by the Democratic convention In
Ohio is viewed with apprehension by the
Bryan leaders. 1t Is known in political cir
cles that Mr. Bryan opposed Mclean for
the second place on his ticket in 1896. The
Mclean paper has ceased to advocate II

Mclean be nominated for Governor he will
have the party machinery in his hands
whether elected or defeated, and could have
ii in his power to make delegation to the
Democratic national convention which
would not support Mr.. Bryan. There is a
greater danger in Illinois The Harrison
and Altgeld factions are at each others
throats. Each assails the other as a traitor
to the party. By the action of Mr.. Bryan's
closest friends on the Democratic national
committee an executive committee has been
named, one of which is Mr.. Altgeld. By
this action the Illinois member of the ma
tional committee, who is a Harrison man,
was ignored. The organ of the national COM
mittee has an editor who assails Harrison
al committee meets in Chicago, two weeks
hence. it must decide Indirectly which Of
the factions shall be recognized. 1t must
continue or dismiss the editor of its organ
who denounced Harrison as a traitor a
week ago. The silver Democrats in New
York have appointed a committee to visit
the national committee and urge 1t to take
such action as will prevent the recognition
Of a delegation by the next national conven-
ton which does not indorse 16 to /.
Such are a few of the conditions and
doubts which are giving Mr.. Bryan and his
immediate supporters uneasiness.

England to effect consolidation Of the lin
seed and cotton seed oil mills and refineries,
which were destroying one another by COM
petition. A London dispatch says he has
completed the organization of the British
oil and cake mills, limited. after making
firms and purchasing twenty-eight mills
and twelve oil refineries. The capital stock
of the new organization is $11, $4,000. The
dispatch. announcing the completion of the
organization, says:
The new company is neither trust nor a
monopoly, but simply one of many indus
trial amalgamations which are formed here
as readily as in America. English law
sanctions such consultations, and they re-
ceive the support OF the greatest flnancierS,
and there Is no popular agitation against
them. The promoters OF the reorganiza ton
OF the oilseed trade have been influenced
by the increasing severity Of competition in
the purchase of supplies and the distribu-
ton or products, and have taken concerted
action to secure what they consider a fair
trading profit The consolidated company
will be powerful enough to control produce
ton, but the natural effect of economies in
the purchase of seed, the disposal OF pro-
ducts and the Improvement of plants will
be the reduction of prices to the English
oil trade.
