An Endless Chain.

Among the many troubles incident to
a visit by Mr.. Bryan to this neck of
the woods not the least is the question
Of precedence. A public meeting at
which Mr.. Bryan appears raises as
many delicate questions of etiquette as
a state dinner And there is no official
clothed with authority to decide. Mr..
Edward Box himself could not relieve
our fusion friends in their perplexity.
The trouble springs from the sub
mergence of the Democratic party in
an ocean of political dilutions An ad-
mirer of Bryan may by chance. be a
Democrat, but he is much more likely
to wear some other tag on his collar.
Now somebody has to sustain the
crushing burden OF honor involved in
presenting the talking candidate to his
audience. II the chosen one should be
a Democrat, the Populist is snubbed: II
he denotes himself with fine disregard
Of verbal contradiction, "a Silver Re-
publican" the single taxer might take
umbrage.
A brilliant suggestion has been made
in this connection. 1t is that the meet
ing be called to order by Populist, who
should introduce to the audience "Sn-
yer Republican, who should lead for
ward by the hand a Democrat, and thus
in time Mr.. Bryan might be reached.
But this is obviously impracticable. It
introduces into politics the principle of
the endless chain. vicious in finance and
productive OF insanity in the writing Of
begging letters So diverse are the
opinions OF fusionists on expansion, sill
yer and every other topic known 10 the
planet. that each could be said truly to
represent only himself. Thus II would
be required by exact justice and nice
discrimination that every member OF
the aggregation be presented in turn
to the audience; and the whole even
ing would be consumed In successive
introductions. We suggest. in spirit
OF helpfulness that all the local leaders
OF the "antis" form a circle on the
platform and chant in concert a form
OF introduction. Thus might honor be
appeased without danger OF the explo-
sion OF Mr.. Bryan from suppressed
views on Imperialism.

1t is noticeable how much better Brit

CONSENT LEGALLY DENIED.

The Roseburg Review, Bry-
ante, in answer to correspon-
dent who asked whether or not
the disfranchisement of oolored
people in the South was a viela-
ton of the constitution, says:
aThe vote of ignorant and
propertyless blacks has been
legally suppressed, as we under
stand, in Louisiana, North Caro-
lima and Mississippi, and SINH
lar devices are in process of ap-
plieation in Virginia and Mary
land. It is not accurate to speak
in general terms Of 'disfranchise-
ment of the blacks for those
who meet the educational and
property qualifications laid down
vote, we understand, freely. -"
The Review does not explain
why the vote of ''ignorant and
nroperty1ess whites" in these
States has not also been illegally"
suppressed. And, again, if
wholesale disfranchisement of
the blacks does not amount to
General disfranchisement, it
comes e pretty near it. The Re-
view concludes:
"This disposes of the rot you
read of in republican newspapers
about the governing of the blacks
without their consent. Massa-
chusetts has a similar educational

A LAME DEFENSE.

The Stats Zeitung always
means we'll au:l sometimes does
it and then again it is not so
fortunate, says the New York
Commercial. Speaking of the
assault upon Governor Roose-
velt at Victor, Colorado, it says:
Everybody knows that in
mining districts in the far West
a rabble takes up its abode, con-
sisting of people who have be-
taken themselves, for oompul-
sorry reasons, to regions where
they can conceal their identity,
and where the strong arm of
the law will have difficulty in
getting at them. Furthermore,
it must be taken into cousidera-
that the organizers of this meet
ing and Governor Roosevelt him
self are not free from blame for
what transpired. The Sun,
which, of course, takes Roose =
velt's part III the matter, itself
acknowledges that four years ago
only four republican votes were
oast in Victor, because the entire
population is democratic. In a
place o. that kind there was no
sense in arranging for a republi-
oan meeting, and the doing SO
took upon itself the nature of a
Challenge"
We rise to a point of order in
behalf Of our democratic friends.
We do not believe that the cause
of the row in Victor was that the
whole population was demo-
cratic; and we refuse to concur
in the notion that more than
four republican votes in a place
ara required to make it safe for
gentlemen of the opposite party
to hold political meeting there.
We even 60 so far as to say that
If not a single republican vote
had been cast in Victor four
years ago, no true democrat
would argue that on that account
the guarantees of the constitu-
ton should be withdrawn from
those who held public meet
ing there at any subsequent time,
whatever the political views of
che organizers.
We do not believe that the
people of Victor will thank the
Stats Zeitung for this excuse
for the outbreak there the other
night; or for the insinuation that
Victor is democratic because it
is the refuge for outlaws and
hiding hoodluns from all crea.
ton.
The Stats Zietung should
apologize.

Followers of Mr.. Bryan who

Followers OF Mr.. Bryan who
believe that gentleman to be
above subterfuge or concea1ment,
must feel their faith in William
Jennings waver when he permits
the fair question asked by Roose-
welt to go unanswered. II wish
Mr.. Bryan would enlighten us
on the point as to whether if he
comes into office, he will pay
the obligations of the nation in
gold or silver?" This is a ques-
ton asked by Roosevelt, and
upon its answer depends the vote
of a host of gold standard men,
who believe Mr. Bryan danger
Gus only in his attitude on the
money question. Mr.. Bryan is
acting two-faced in his refusal to
answer this proper and impor-
tant question, and his action con-
victs him of an attempt at dou-
BILE dealing.

NAIL IT THERE.

Mr.. w. R. Hearst, president
of the, National Association OF
Bryan Clubs, sent the following
dispatch, dated Santiago, June
Fl, 1898, to his paper the San
Francisco Examiner:
cit may be that the taking OF
this seaport and capture of what
must be considered all that there
is OF an effective Spanish navy,
will induce the great powers OF
Europe to compel Spain to sue
for peace; but every officer and
every private in the American
forces on land and sea hopes
that no peace may be granted
until the American flag is nailed
to the flagstaff Of Porto Rico and
the Philippines-not simply
hoisted there, but nailed"
Commenting editorial1y upon
this dispatch August "a, 1893,
the Examiner said.
"There is no hesitation ir
these words. They are not
halting utterauces. There Is
wisdom in them. The Philip
pines are ours if we will have
them. Let us lake them. Le'
US nail the flag to the mast.

provision which virtually dis
franchises ignorant whites
Does not the editor of this
Roseburg curiosity see that his
argument disposes of "the rot''
you road in his paper and i'll the
speeches of Mr.. Bryan about
the governing of the browns
without their consent? The
negroes Of the South who have
been deprived of the right Of
suffrage through the enactment
Of laws by democracy, stand as
a living example of the insin-
cerity of the Bryan attitude on
"consent of the governed"
Does the "Declaration of Inde-
pendence'' assert that a white
man shall have power to decide
whether a black man, born with
all the inalienable rights OF a
citizen Of the United States,
shall or shall not be governed
without his consent? If it does
not, and the white man car

of the privilegehe once possessed
the white man can '1egally''
deny the brown man privilege
he never possessed, by TIE sam'
