The Marysville Globe and the Everett
Times are exchanging journalistic ameni-

editor OF the Globe a 'red-mouthed an

mouth than red would be freak, which
makes the adjective meaningless. yet 1t
has blood-curdling sound that arouses
the ire OF the Globe man. He retorts by
calling the editor OF the Times ''staob. -

Bryan never learns anything from che
enemy, and Ia this he shows himself TO
be . very poor leader. Wherever the
fusion forces were beaten In the last
election he ascrtbes the result TO local
causes. but where they We're successful
and this Ia In q more limited area--he
assumes that the intention was To re-
buks the president and to express con-
fidence In William Jennings Bryan.
He very airily disrnisses Iowa. South
Dakota and Kansas results as OF very
little consequence. AS to Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania, New York and
New Jersey he gathers satisfaction from
the fact that the vote Of the Repubi-
cans was not as large as 1t Is In
presidential year. He selects Ohio and
Nebraska for his principal comments.
but he does not apply the same reason
Ing for both. For instance. he mentions
that Ohio is the home OF the president,
and leaves the inference that this fact
had something to do with the Repubii-
can success. He does not say that
Nebraska is the home OF candidate
for the presidency, and that local pride
had something to do with the success
OF the fusionists- Mr.. Bryan derives
considerable satisfaction from q COM
garrison OF Ohio with Nebraska and af-
fects to believe that one offsets the
other, although Ia the electoral college
Ohio casts twenty-three votes and
Nebraska only eight.
His conclusions are as fictitious as his
reasons for coming to them. He affects
to believe that It Ia evident that the
hostility to the Chicago platform among
those who oppose 1t Is not "a pro-
nounced as II was In 1896. 1t is not.
but that il so for the very good reason
that among those who opposed 1t then
II whatever. Mr.. Bryan will find that
the Chicago platform will be modified
very considerably a. the next Demo
cratic convention. with View to avoid
Ing the risk OF ascertaining whether or
not hostility 10 1t IL as pronounced now
as II was then. In his interview Mr..
Bryan is very. very careful not to say
word against expansion. He has
gathered that much wisdom from the
campaign. and win leave a dangerous
question out OF future speaking.
The fact Is that Bryan. II nominated.
viii lose eighteen. II not twenty-one. OF
the electoral votes he had last time.
He win lose Kansas. South Dakota,
Washington and Wyoming. There is a
bare possibility. although we doubt IL.
that Maryland may remain In the DEM
ocratic ranks That would offset the
acquisition of South Dakota and Wash
ingtou. bat would leave him with only
lea votes against - fer the Republican
nominee. In every state which went
Republican because of the promise OF
prosperity. that promise has been more
than fulfilled. and with a continuance
OF presen. conditions even Texas may
give some Votes To the Republican party.
