THE VICTIMS.
Bryan and Adlai Stevenson Nom
mated.
CLEVELAND'S
rlate Yoked With the Apostle of Free
Silver and Free Coinage.

The Democratic convention at ST.
Louis nominated Bryan by acclama-
tion and Adlai Stevenson, of Illinois,
for Vice President, on the first ballot.
Senator Hill could have had the nomi-
nation for Vice President but refused
to accept it.
Stevenson was Vice President under
Cleveland, and his nomination was
sop thrown to the Cleveland element of
the party.
The platform endorses the 16 to l
fallacy, but declares anti-imperialism
the paramount issue. which is equi-
valent to an apology for pushing the
free silver question upon the country.
The following is a synopsis of the
platform:
Free coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1.
Constitution declared to follow the
flag.
'Tmperialism" regarded as the par
amount issue.
Republican policy in dealing with
new possessions denounced.
Private monopolies condemned; Ding
ley tariff called trust breeding meas
ure.
Gold standard legislation denounced.
Election of Senators by direct vote of
the people.
Arbitration as means of settling Ia
Dor disputes.
Department of Labor favored.
Liberal pensions to soldiers and sail
ors.
Nicaragua Canal under American
control; the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty
denounced.
Statehood for Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma; Territorial government
| for Alaska and Porto Rico.
Improvement of arid lands.
Enforcement and extension of Chinese
Exclusion law.
Alleged alliance with England de-
nounced; sympathy with the Beers ex.
pressed.
Shipping subsidy bill opposed; reduc.
tion of war taxes demanded.

FROM some unknown influence the
waters in Lake Michigan receded from
the shores, last Saturday at Chicago,
and other points leaving vessels high
and dry, and afterwards returned with a
rush that did great damage. AtKeno-
sha, Wisconsin, all the water went out
of the barbor. We will bet 16 to l.,
Bryan will claim he did it. But it is
more probable that the cause was
q cyclone that passed over the lake,
drawing the water upward, as a cyclone
and cloud-burst visited Kalamazoo
and that region of Michigan that day
doing $50, 900 damage, and running the
celery crop.

THE Standard Oil Company's plant
In New Jersey was destroyed by fire
last Thursday. The loss was at least a
million of dollars. But don't disturb
yourself with the thought that the loss
will fall on the company. 1t loses
nothing. 1t doesn't have to insure. 1t
will simply mark up the price of oil, or
mark down the price of crude oil a
notch, and the people win settle the
loss. 1t is a! handy thing to be mo-
nopoly. Handy for the monopoly.

SENATOR Daniels let the cat out of
the bag, unintenti6nally, when he said
Bryan "would rather be right than
President" This is an admission that
16 to l was endorsed because. Bryan
thought it was right, and not with any
hope of victory. The people will show
Mr.. Bryan that he is neither right nor
President

SUCH Democrats as David B. Hill
and General Warner think their party
has been sacrificed to the vanity OF
Bryan-that his nomination and the
endorsement Of 16 to means inevita-
BILE defeat.

A Foreign View of the Election.
New York World

Faithful are the wounds of friend"
The London Speaker, the weekly organ
of the Liberals IN England, does not hes
itate, even at the risk of "seeming imper-
tinont," to express disappointment at
Mr.. Bryan's defeat. 1t ''does not believe
this defeat wholly due TO Mr.. Bryan's
silver fallacies," and still less does il be-
lieve 1t to spring from any "passion for
expansion" 1t attributes the result to the
fact that majority of our people "have
never yet had national experience to
teach them what imperialism means,
so that they still confuse it with the pride
in and love of ones country, and the
coupling of this Ignorance with the fear
of idealism and reform that prosperity
always produces in commercial people -
This observation shows knowledge
of American character and politics that
was formerly unknown in England, and
IL iustlfies the critical comment that
