sneezed at" when postofices and other
bric-a-brac are to be disposed Of to the
truly faithful, and when the average
democratic not chained down-will be
circulating his political autobiography
and yelling: What are we here for?"
So
It is not so sure, however, that the
scheme of the populists will be permitted
to work to an uninterrupted conclusion.
In anticipation of this move, Bryan and
his friends began work last autumn to
induce the democrats to call an early con-
v~ention. He was embarrassed by the in
situation that his object in having a
early convention was to secure the nom-
inatior before the opposition in his party
had time to organize against him, when
his primary object was to get in ahead of
the populists and prevent the consumma-
ton of the plans which the latter had in
mind.
Looking forward to an endorsement by
the populists. the colonel could not afford
to offend them by publicly urging the
democracy to execute a fan movement,
and head off the attempt to steal bourbon
lation. For a time February and March
were discussed as suitable months in
which to hold the democratic convention,
on the theory that the republicans should
be put on the defensive as to the new is
sues before the public; and Fred Williams
of Massachusetts went so far as to force
the election of delegates to the democratic
national convention at the democratic
state convention in that commonwealth
last year-a novel and unprecedented in
novation in the art of taking the bull by
the horns"
But it transpired that a majority of the
national committee did not endorse the
idea Of a mid-winter convention, with
which Bryan expected to freeze out the
populists, and the matter went over. Not
long since, the populists of Texas pub
licly asserted the intent of their party to
hold an early convention and nominate
BRYAN, and force the democrats to en-
dorse their nominee; whereupon the vigi-
lent colonel made another shrewd effort
to anticipate them. With the excuse that
the democratic national convention
should be held before the democratic state
convention of Oregon is held, in order to
prevent the democrats of that state from
going wrong on the anti-expansion idea,
the leading bourbons were again impor-
tuned to call an early convention. june
9Th was favorably mentioned. but no def
mite time could be set until the populists
had ixed their date.
Now the issue must be met. Whether
Bryan and his friends can persuade the
in advance of May 9th remain to be seen
Those who are earnestly DESTROYS OF
Bryan's nomination and election will ia.
vor this idea and work to that end, while
those who are Indifferent, or who secretly
hope for that gentleman's displacement
as a party favorite, will refuse to admi
the necessity of running a race agains
time with the peoples party. The situa
ton is an embarrassing one, both to Bry
an and his party-especially to the form
er, who is placed between two fires, eithe
of which may consume while trying to i'm
part a gentle heat.
