Presidential Electors Must All BE
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQU ARrERS

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN, 4. 1900. }
To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated In State con-
vention, and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives. were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are por-
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nomina-
ton by q convention representing no less
n constituency than the whole State.
Hence, all the candidates of party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention, and have there
fore included In the call six electors.

We are inclined to think that very
consi derabls part Of MIR. Bryan's popu-
lnrity with the common people Of the
Democratic party can be traced to his un-
popularity with elements In Is that are
financially or socially prominent. His
orstory Is of the ad captandum kind
anu appeals powerfully. no doubt, to the
masses, but that alone would not be suffi.
client to explain ths wonderfully strong
hold be has upon them. From his frat
sppesl ance IN politics Bryan has posed
- the special friend and champion Of the
humber GLASSES and his desertion BY the
powerful olAsses, has tended strongly 10
convince the masses that no was really
what he pFets udsd TO be. and not . mere
dep,agoaue catering for their votes Un-
EXCEPTIONALLY q considerable part Of their
affection for him IL traosahle to the enc
mics he has made. Believing a. the
wage earners and working msn are prone
to do that their welfare and interests do
not run parallel with those Of the mer-
chant and banker. but In altogether a
different direction, they not unnaturnlly
assume that II the principles apd policies
which he espouses ALLEVIATE the Glasses,
the masses ought to be attrastsd by
them, and SO they rally TO his support.

Since Bryan got into the enemy
country" he has almost entirely LIFT of
tslking about silver, and now discusses
the trusts and Imperialism chiefly. This
Is not exactly courageous conduct. He
is on record of saying within a year that
the currency is still the most import mt
Issue before the American people, and If
he believes what he says, he ought to
discuss 1t, especially In the East. where
most of the people need to be awakened
to Its Importance. Bryan's neglect to do
20 makes 1t look very much as II he did
not possess the courage Of his convio-
Sons. A really courageous man Is ready
TO attack heresiss whenever he finds them
ana without much regard to the people
who hold them. False doctrine Is every
where something for him to combat.
