The enthusiasm OF his auditors ls as In
tense as in 1895 and the warmth o. his
reception is as pronounced in the East as
in the West. at one point as at another.
That such canvass, evoking such deep
popular interest, must inevitably result In
tremendous uprising OF the masses and
another record breaking democratic vote,
can hardly be questioned by any inteli-
gent man. And when we reflect that
change Of less than 10000 votes from Nc
Klnley to Bryan in 1896, as has been
demonstrated, would have elected the lat-
ter; that fully so per cent OF the DEM
ocratic vote lost In 1896 has come back
now; that the losses from the Bryan vote
OF 1896 will be insignificant this year AMI
that scores Of influential republicans are
this year supporting Mr.. Bryan and IN
doubtedly carrying thousands OF their con-
servatlve fellow citizens with them, we can
begin to lntelllgently appreciate how
bright. II not Overwhelming. the chances
are for n democratic victory In November.

DEMoCRACY's LEADER.

The democratic candidate for the presi-

canvass OF the country, The great
trouble In this section, that has for nearly
two weeks absolutely monopolized The
Posts columns and the attention OF its
readers, has prevented the usual cons d.
Grafton OF outside matters, but now that
the ordinary affairs OF the day are again
engaging our thought. Mr.. Bryans conduct
and fortunes rise once more into special
prominence.
Not only is Mr.. Bryan showing the mag
n'fcent energy and physical and mental
powers Of endurance that he exhibited in
1896, but the popular desire to see and
hear him appears to be equal to that OF
four years ago. Then curiosity. doubtless
helped to swell the size of his audiences
He was a new man with reputation for
great oratory In '96. His nomination had
been breach OF all custom and viola

draws his audiences. And yet these au-

AN UNPRECEDENTED LIST.


It is doubtful II ever before in the his
tory of journalism such an extended list
OF the dead was published as that printed
by The Post yesterday morning. II all
the reports that have from time to time
been published OF deaths OF our soldiers
in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and
China were put together and printed in
one list. the total would not equal the
total OF the number OF the dead covered by
the list in yesterdays Post.
1t has required. as can be easily under
stood. painful and persistent and syste-
matte work for the past ten days to
gather and arrange such list for publlca-
tion. And after all the effort and research
this record can not he expected to give
the full number OF dead possibly by 1000.
The sea contains hundreds whose loss
would only be known, In all likelihood to

Galveston at all times had large num-

whom have undoubtedly been lost with

ascertnined. or anything ever definitely
