philadelphia Times.)

Whoever else may have gained or lost
in power or in reputation in the election
just past William j. Bryan comes out OF
the contest with highest honor and with
the esteem and gratitude OF all high
minded Americans.
Ii Is no discredit to any man TO have
failed of election under such conditions
While the defeat of the administration
party was not too much to hope for II
was too much to expect. To have made
such fight as Bryan made and rs he
made II was glorious, and the service he
has done his country is not 10 be for
gotten
II is easy for those who look only for
immediate results, regardless OF the
means by which they are attained, TO
condemn Mr.. Bryans campaign because
it apparently failed. But It was not a
failure No man in our time has done
SO much to reawaken faith In Amerl-
can ideals, devotion TO the true doc
trine of liberty. He had to battle against
all The forces or 'materallsm, the sordid
influence of wealth. the timdity OF ig-
norance and the strength OF organized
power. The odds were all against the
man OF pure convictions and high ideals.

of freedom and manhood that he bore
so bravely will never be pulled down,
The people were with Bryan. They are
with him now, even though many yielded
TO the tyranny of their surroundings and
voted unwlllngly for his opponent. II
was they, not he, that erred. When We
come TO contemplate the probable results
of the renewed McKinleyism II will not
be Democrats alone who VIII regret that
Bryan was not elected.
The salvation OF the republic lies IN
these living ideas which Bryan has up-
held and which the nation will G4-suredly
enforce upon those who continue to defy
them. This will be Bryan's reward. IT
the people seem to have turned aside
from his teaching now, they Will return
10 1t, because II Is eternally true and
needful. Long before the boasted four
years more OF Mckinley have passed,
with it's triumphant partnership OF I'm
perial ambition and corporate greed, the
American people will rise against II for
their own defense. Then they Will re-
member and recognize the work OF VIII
liam J. Bryan In the great campaign OF
1900 and viii accord him the honor that
he has nobly earned.

THE DEN oCRATIC PARTY.
Party of the People 1t Will Yet Triumph by
Adherence to Principle
NorfollL NlrgInlan PIlotl

The Baltimore sun, upon whose
magnificent fight for the Democratic
party we have had occasion 10 com
ment before. thus sums up the forces
engaged in the late campaign;
"In this contest the Democratic
partv has stood for the interests OF
the plain people. Arrayed against II
have been the trusts and the vast i'm
fuence which they exert, the corpor-
ate wealth Of the country, an army OF
officeholders. and all others whose
selfish interests have been promoted
by Republican legislation. All who
have received favors in the past, all
who expected fayors In the future,
exel.ted the various influences at their
command 70 perpetuate the power OF
the Republican party. The Democratic
party had no friends Of this char
acter to assist ii in the contest for
equal rights. in the protection OF the
masses from the encroachments OF
monopoly and in the maintenance Of
)this republic as the champion OF lit-
ertv in all lands. IT has no friends
with big purses to buy victory for II
i'm consideration Of future favofs, u
has fought the battle Of the people
with no other resources than those
which it derived from the strength o.
its cause. II bas stood for DEFINITE
PRINCIPLES justice. humanity and
fair play. ! has asked no fayors and
II has promised none"
The Sun might have added that, oS
q result OF this the Democratic party
comes out OF the campaign STRONGER
than at any time since it elected Mr..
Cleveland to the Presidency in 1884;
for. despite its overwhelming ma lority
i'm 1902. the elements OF disSension
which finally rent IL into warning fac
tions during Mr.. Cleveland's second
term were already at work in IT,
by the heroic struggle II has made
the Democratic ra"ty has been
strengthened and soldiied II has ap-
pealed 10 the conscience, the patriot
ism. the wisdom and the conservatism
Of the country. 1t is curious fact
that no party that has battled for
human rights has ever been weakened
thereby. whether il went TO victory or
defeat. for the time being. In the end

No man trained in the Democratic
