BRYAN and Stevenson were nom
mated by the big convention at
Kansas City last week and the plat
form they stand on, is all that could
be desired. The Kansas City Times
SAYS of the coming campaign.
With the conclusion Of the labors
of the Kansas City convention
comes the summons for the demo-
cratic hosts of the country TO grid
mp their loins and get ready for the
battle.
The gauge thrown down by the
republicans at Philadelphia has
been takeo up by the democratic
national convention. The signal
for the charge is sounding all along
the line from the pines Of Maine to
the magnolias of Louisiana and
from the Cascades TO the shores OF
Virginia.
The advance already begun indi-
Gates that the embattled democracy
Is moving TO The attack with fer

The primary election tomorrow
will decide who are to be the demo-
cratic candidates for the county Off
ces. No doubt there will be disap'
pointments, but we should bear in
mind the fact that all cannot be
chosen, neither can we expect to
always have our choice and after
having done what you could for
yourself, or friend, it then becomes
your duty to bow to the will OF the
majority and unless we do this,
primary elections are farce and our
party will become dlsorganized.
The campaign has been, we are
glad to note, a very harmonious one
and it is to be hoped that the de-
feated will, as we heard one candi.

THE nature of the news from the scene
of the trouble in China, is the cause OF
great anxiety in all the civilized
countries in the world, for all the lead
ing countries had representatives at
Pekin. At the beginning Of the trouble
and up to the present, the rumors have
been of the most conflicting character,
one day they have been massacred, and
the next they are safe, and so on. 1t
seems to be impossible to obtain the
true condition, or fate of the foreigners.
The latest dispatches state that Prince
Ching has organized counter rebellion
and is fighting the Boxers and further
state that the Imperial troops are protect
ing the foreigners in Pel1in, who are
said to be safe, but short OF supplies
Squadrous and troops are being hurried
forward by the powers and the situation
growing more serious every day.

THE Globe-Democrat saws, "nothing
in Webster Davis connection with the
republican party became him like the
leaving it," and signifies that the demo-
Gratis will have a whole lot of trouble
with him. Fortunately the democrats
don't need any tears of sympathy from
the Globe at this time. The doors of the
democratic church are open and we ex-
tend to Mr.. Davis and all others who
wish to join the right hand Of fellowship
and take the chances.

Cruelty TO Candidate.

Almost Immediately following
the painful scenes at Philadelphia,
says the Chicago Record, where the
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt was for
cibly seized, bound hand and foot,
laid upon the altar ofrepublicanism,
and served up as an offering to his
country's welfare, comes the news
that Chicago for a time has been
threatened with q similar awful
scene. Until yesterday it was a
serious question whether the Illinois
democracy was not about to seize
the reluctant Mr., Harrison and carry
him, writhing and shriekihg toward
a governors chair.
Unless something is done to check
this lawless disposition on the part
Of great parties, the time will come
when no man will be safe Theo-
retlcally the constitution guaran-
tees to every American citizen the
right not to run for office unless he
wants to run. According to the
new practice, as exempliffed in Mr..
Roosevelts case, this constitutional
right is lost. Parties in convention
assembled simply decide that they
want a certain candidate; a delega.
tion is sent off to the candidates,
home, and there at his own freslde
he is pounced upon, torn from the
bosom of his weeping family, and
in spite of his piteous struggles is
honored with a nomination.
The emergency was never fore
seen by the founders ofthe republic,
and so no remedy IS at hand. Ap'
parently, reluctant politicians would
do well to band together for mutual
defense, retiring into some distant
stronghold at convention time and
remaining in hiding until all danger
is over.
