BRYAN'S POOR PLEA.
CIassee All Who Voted Against Him
az Plutocrats Pad FIouts
American IntctItgencc.

The most noticeable thing about
Mr. Bryans statement in defeat is
that it contains not one word about
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
Yer at the ratio of 16 to /. Was ever
silence more significant? Is he, too,
at last convinced?
Passing to Tia things that he does
say the statemect has not the viru
lence of an Altge1s and is perhaps
as philosophic as we should expect
from a person in the writer's predica-
ment. It's fiimsiest part is the para
graph in which he refers 10 the pur-
chase of votes, colonization and SUI
perior facilities of the republicans for
sending absent voters to their homes.
OF this he is himself conscious, since
he admits that the imaginary repub-
1ican gains from such sources are far
from explaining the landslide.
He goes on then to recognize the
potency. of the prosperity argument
and of the appeal to patriotism,
"Stand by the president while the
war is on" which proves that he is
not wholly lost to the power Of
analysis. but the analytical faculty is
fatally missing when he intunes the
old song: "The contest between plu-
tocracy and democracy cannot end
until one or the other is completely
triumphant"
1t is really amazing that man of
Mr.. Bryan's intelligence should classi-
fy the S,000.O00 citizens who voted
against him as plutocrats and the
7,0OO,O 900 citizens who voted for him
as democrats. In a country of uni
versal manhood suffrage this is equiv
alent to saying that ''the masses" are
in the minority. a most glaring ard
absurd contradiction in terms.
Pursuing the analysis further, il is
clear that Mr.. Bryan is entirely at
fault as to the condition of the Amer
lean masses. He assumes that it is
one of poverty and distress, when as
a matter of fact it is one of a general
diffusion of comfort such as was
never known in any other country or
in any other epoch. That is why the
experiment. of popular government
continues to be success here in
spite OF Une HlScnICNOuS EFFORTS OF
demagogues and fanatics to make rev.
olutionists out of the unfortunate, the
vicious and the discontented.
When a savage campaign against
property is begun and destruction is
announced to be the policy of the
democratic party it follows. of course.
that the thousands upon thousands of
democrats who enjoy an honorable
competence as the reward of their la
bors and economy will repudiate the
party for the time being. In this
there is no distinction of class, be-
cause the majority of our people.
whether they are republicans or dem
ocrats, belong to the class of workers
and savers. Neither is there any Oh
liberation of political distinctions.
since the rebellious democrats CON
tinue to differ from republicans on
many questions of public policy. But
there is a common and justifabe dis
trust of the tendencies of Organism,
whose import Mr.. Bryan himself fails
to realize. That was the prime rea-
son for his defeat.-Chicago Times

OPINION OF A DEMOCRAT.
Result of the National Election
as Viewed by James II.
EcISeIs.

Mr.. James II. Eckles. who was a dis
tinguished member of President Cleve-
lands official family during the second
term of that democratic executive. eX-
presses himself as follows regarding
the result of the national election:
"The defeat of Mr.. Bryan, decisive as it is,
means his complete elimination as a factor
in national politics. 1t means for the demo-
cratic party riddance of popuism and a
reorganization upon democratic lines. 1t
means Tor the country no more class strife
engendered and encouraged by politicians
for selfish purposes. II means for the coun-
try's business a larger volume upon q bet
ter basis. 1t is the greatest blessing this
country has had in many years, a fit clos
ing of the last year of the nineteenth CEN
tury. am delighted that it has come about
largely through democrats who know how
the interests of the country could best be
conserved and their party saved from COM
plete annihilation. In financial sense the
importance of the defeat of Mr.. Bryan is
not to be oVerestimated. The country re-
pudiating for a second time the financial
heresies for which Bryan stands makes
more emphatic its position in line with the
gt@at commercial nations of the world. We
will go on to newer and greater victories in
competing for the worlds business. We
will have less and less attacks made upon
successful ventures. The demagague will
not soon again be dominant in political par
ties, but business questions will receive
treatment from business standpoint and
the business mans suggestions be given
respectful and candid hearing. Such gain
is great thing for the nation and the in
dividual."
This view of the downfall of Mr.. Bry-
an is significant in that it expresses the
opinion of the element which led the
\ rt, fp ha
the free-silver doctrine turned the
party into the paths of populism. The
democratic party known to Tilden and
Randall, Bayard and Hendricks, Cleve-
land and Palmer, is the party which
most rejoices in the present defeat,
which points to return of the demo-
Gratis to those principles of finance and
of government which inspire confidence
and bring party success.-Chicago Rec

HUMBUG CRY OF FRAUD.
SIanderous ImputatiOn of AItgeld
Denied by n Democratic
Journal

EX-Gov. Atlgeld elevates his raven
voice to cry that Mckinley was elected
by fraudulent votes throughout the
country and that 10000 fraudulent votes
for Mr.. Mckinley were cast in Cook
county, III. This is childish if not i'm
beetle. 1t indicates a mid form of
mental alteration on political subjects.
The charge is a slanderous imputa-
tion on the characters of all the mem
bers of the election boards in the 1.2O0
election precincts of Chicago. There
are 5000 members of these boards. one
half of whom are democrats. The
charge amounts to an allegation that
5000 democratic election officers in Chi
cago conspired with 1900 republican
election officers to place 10000 fraudu-
lent votes in the ballot boxes.
There is one dem ocratc watcher and
one publican watcher at the polling
place in each precinct. The watchers
are selected by the party committees
because they are persons of high integ-
rity, devoted to their respective parties.
and of peculiar sagacity especially in
the detection of frauds. Mr.. Altgeld's
allegation is charge against every
democratic watcher at the polls of the
1900 precincts in the city.
Gov. Altgeld was the mammoth "hoo-
doc" of the democratic party in the re-
cent campaign. In each state that he
visited and where he made campaign
speeches hedrove more votes away from
the democratic party than are num-
bered in his charge as to fraudulent
voting in Chicago Chronicle

The following from the pen of an
optimistic philosopher in an eastern
exchange is severe but true: The
pessimist is a robber. He enters your
home and steals away the sunlight.
He meets YOU on the street and he
robs you of the feeling of content
ment that crept into your veins when
you noticed that the day was fine
and clear. ! cannot tell you just how
he does this ways differ so--but
you know well enough that he does.
The pessimst criticises your friends,
and his own. And can you think of
anything more depressing than to
have the little shortcomings of the
folks you like discussed? These lit
tie shortcomings you have long ago
recognized, and you do not need any
one to point them out to you. Be
sides that, you are generous enough
to want your friends to appear well
in the eyes of everyone else. But
trust the pessimist for throwing the
worst light upon them possible"

We do not refer to these facts for
the purpose of eXulting over them.
Nothing is further from our purpose.
But we do wish to impress on all
democrats the extreme seriousness of
the situation in which they now find
themselves. Men may argue about
causes, and differ as to means and
methods, but they cannot shut their
eyes to facts. We have set them
forth as they actually exist. We
believe that they prove that there is
no hope whatever for the democratic
party under its present leadership.
Eight years ago the party carried
New York, Connecticut. New jersey,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Delaware.
Maryland, West Virginia, and got
eight votes in California. and one in
Ohio. All are now lost. Is not the
inference irresistible? There is no
reason why the democratic party
should not command the confidence
and support of the country. If admin

mary years, and did it well. In spite
of its mistakes during the civil war.
and Notwithstanding its dalliarce
with slavery, it promptly recovered,
making a great fight in 1876, and elect
ing a president in 1884.
Clearly there is something wrong
For our part, we have no doubt as to
what the trouble is. 1t will be we'll if
democrats everywhere learn the les
son which the election returns teach
If the democratic party is again to be-
come a national party it must return
to its old principles, which are and al
ways have been national principles, and
appeal not to one section against an
other, or to one class against another
bat to the whole people. 1t ought to
fill democrats with a sense of shame,
and Mr. Bryan with the deepest re-
morse. to think that only four states
out of the great, rich and progressive
north. in which elections are free and
the people vote according to their con-
vctions on national questions. should
be found in the Bryan column.-In-

UTThe generally accepted verdict is
that Mr.. Bryan is completely discredit-
ed as a leader. From one calamitous
defeat he has led us to another even
greater. 1t would be insane to think of
the continued leadership of a man who
has twice failed TO carry his own pre-
cinct, not to say the country. It well
