'.I cannot tell as yet. I will have to

great deal about this experiment and
the whole world is now watching it.

lection to giving out all of the matter
to these gentlemen"
Mr.. Sheldon: 4 am only thinking
about fairness to the subscribers. The
question in my mind is, suppose this
matter should be all wired to some of
the big eastern papers and should be
printed in them, would it be fair to
those who have subscribed for the pa
per?''
r. E Turpin, of the New York Jour
nal: I think, Mr.. Sheldon. that it
would only add interest to the paper
think the more you can disseminate
this matter the better it will be for the
Capital.
Mr.. Sheldon: "How much would you
expect to use of the paper?'
Mr.. Nye of the World: "I have in
structions to send 1000 or 5000 words
today.
Mr.. farrell: "'How much will that
make in the World?'
Mr.. Nye: well, the way it will be
displayed, I judge it will make six or
seven columns"
Mr.. Popenoe: About a page of the
Capital then"
x. G. Babize: How much reading
matter will there be in the Capital, Mr..
Sheldon"
Mr.. Sheldon: '"Thirty-six columns,
and twenty columns of advertising. Y on

Nye.

bly, use your editorial in full, and de-
scribe the other departments in detail,
giving the headlines, but not using much
of the matter ITSELF
Mr.. Babize: L would also like to
know tonight how your first page is
made up. That will probably give
good idea of the relative value you put
on news"
Mr. Sheldon agreed to furnish it if
r.. NJ. Ruggles: '.At what time do
you meet the reporters to give them
their final instructions?"
Mr. Sheldon: This afternoon
Mr. RuggIes: 1.-The afternoon papers
would like to have them if they are
made out"
Mr. Sheldon: ''There are none made
out"
Mr. Young: ''That gives the morning
papers all the advantage
Mr. Popenoe: Necessarily so, be-
cause the Capital itself is a morning
paper"
Mr.. Sheldon: s'I want to be as fair
as possible. and after confer with the
reporters if 1 think can give out the
instructions this afternoon I will give
them to Mr farrell to give you"
Just as Mr.. Sheldon was about to

over the government tried in

What a wonderful change has
come over the American people
in their estimate of the ability,
craftsmanship and political hon
esty of Hon. VIM. j. Bryan
In 1896 the press and people
spoke of him as 1.-The boy orator
of the Platte"-''a meteor pass
ing over the political horizon,
'the man seeking to buy Office
with 50-cent dollar" and as
'the man who would never be
heard of after the campaign was
over"
In this year of 1900 the press
and people say he is the most
wonderful orator of the age. In
stead of being a meteor he is a
planet of the first magnitude. AS
a statesman he ranks with the
first and foremost of the country
and instead of disappearing from
the political stage they say he is
brighter, stronger and more
popular than in 1896. He has
grown and is still growing in
popular favor every day.
The metropolitan papers of
this country that tried and did
belittle him in 1896 now give him
credit as being a great, good and
honest man, statesman and an
orator, and it is only left for
little pop guns with soft paper
wads to shoot harmlessly at him.
Mr. Bryan has grown wonder
fully in the estimation of his
friends but far more so in the
estimation of his honest political
enemies. -James Creelman.

Following is the platform ad-
opted at the State Democratic
Convention, held at Lewiston,
Idaho, June 5th, 1900:
Resolved, That we heartily
indorse the platform adopted by
the Democratic National party in
convention assembled at Chicago
in 1896, and pledge our earnest
support to the principles therein
contained.
1--WE recognize in William Jen-
nings Bryan an able and fearless
leader, a patriotic citizen, a wise
statesman and q man who, by
reason of his broad statesman
ship, his eminent ability, his
fidelity to duty and his sympathy
for the common people, is pre-
eminently fitted to be the stand
ard bearer of the democratic and
other reform parties in the APP
preaching national campaign.
We, therefore, commend him as
being, in our estimation, the one
man peculiarly fitted to discharge
the duties Of the Office Of presi-
dent of the United States and in
struct our delegates to the Dem
ocratic National convention. to
be held at Kansas City, July 4th,
next, to cast their votes for the
Hon. William j. Bryan as nom
inee of that convention for presi-
dent of the United States.
Second, 1t is the sentiment
of this convention that the re-
form forces in this state should
be united in one harmonious
union, thus assuring beyond per-
adventure the success of our
state ticket and the success of
our national ticket in the state Of
Idaho, in the election next Nov
ember.
Resolved, That we recognize
in the Hon. James Hamilton
Lewis of our sister state, Wash
ington, man pre-eminently fit
ted to discharge the duties of any
Office within the gift of the
American people, and, therefore,
recommend him to the national
convention to be held at Kansas
City as the nominee of said con-
vention for the Office of vice
president of the United States"
