The leaders If the Democratic party
are becoming more and more pre-
picked as the presidential campaign
approaches. Most factions are agreed
upon Bryan for the candidate, but
demands are coming from differ
ent sections that ne amend or drop Ger
tain of his Issues; then his election wifi
be insured. But what issues? He
cannot dropsiiver or he will:lose Pop
nlist and Silver Republican, votes in
the west; If he opposes expansion he
will ALLEVIATE the south, which is ovet-
whelmingIy in favor of the policy: il
he takes up the tariff question again,
as free traders advise, he will antagc-
nize workingmen in the north who are
enjoying steady employment and at
increased wages; If he attempts to
make a strong fight on trusts he will
find himself forestalled by the republic
cans. Mr.. Bryan has Sexrressed him
self clearly on all these questions so
that retreat seems impossible, aud yet
his attitude, as events lave shaped, Is
at variance with his entire party, on
