The Democratic party in a number
of the eastern and western states have
held conventions and the delegates to
the Kansas City convention. in every
case. have been instructed to vote ior
Bryan. The Empire state has fallen in
line. and sympathetically endorses the
Nebraska man. The indications are
that Bryan will be nominated without a
dissenting vote, and that he will lead
united democracy. The convention
will reaffirm the Chicago platform, but
il is quite certain that the question OF
trusts and imperialism will overshadow
the many questions. The plutocratie
tendency OF the Hanna Nc kinley re-
gime at Washington has become obnox-
ous to the rank and file OF the Repub-
lican party. Bryan is recognized as
the exponent OF the cause OF common
people. irrespective OF party. 1t is his
doctrine that prosperity must first reach
the toilng masses before it is allowed tc
be monopolized by the kings OF n
nanceS.

TIE CAUSE oFTHE BoERs.

The reception extended to the Boer
ENJOYS on Thursday night last. at the
Auditorium. evidences the TACT that the
great mass OF the people oil this city are
in sympathy with the two South All
rican republics, in their life or death
struggle with England. These Boer
representatives have been received with
unbounded enthusiasm by thousands OF
liberty loving American citizens. al
Washington. the capital OF nation; also
in Chicago and elsewhere, since they
have arrived in this country. They are
making their appeal to the American
people in plain. matter-of-fact way.
The English press and the representa-
tive OF the English people in every
quarter OF the globe have represented
the Beers of South Africa as a non
progressive. -barbarous specie OF
humanity The most cruel treatment
towards the natives has been repeatedly
charged against them. The newSpa-
pers OF the United States. especially
those who are friendly to the admin
istration at Washington. have given
wide circulation to the reports that the
natives in these two South African re-
publics are in semi-condition OF slay-
cry. Dr. Fischer. one OF the ENJOYS,
who is attorney general for the Orange
Free State in his speech at the Audi
forum spoke at some length concern
ing these accusations OF bad treat
ment OF Beers towards the natives. He
presented an emphatic and conclusive
denial and concluded with the follow
ing statement:
II was one who went to the blacks
for contributions when matters ap-
preached a crisis What did we find
then? We found that contributions
from them came in ten times as heavy
as we had any reason to anticipate or
expect. More than this when burgh-
ers lett their homes for the front leay-
ing only the women on the lonely yeldt
to care for the farms. who staid behind
TO aid them in the management OF their
holdings? The blacks remained, and in
many a Boer home tonight blacks are
aiding in the work while the fighting
men are at the front defending theil
homes and their liberties. This under
condition OF semi-slavery would have
been impossible"
History does not record people who
have displayed so much fearlessness
valor and patriotism on the battlefield
against such tremendous odds. Tn
Beers are fighting for their homes an'
hreside. Their cause is a just one
: and, before these brave people are sub
dued by Great Britain thousands o
English soldiers must yet lay dow
their lives.

THE PEOPLE APPEALED TO.

Freedom Ignored by the He
politicians

A Chicago Mckinley organ. the Trib-
anr, anxious. lest the liocr ENJOYS fail
into the error Of appealing to the peo-
pie directly. instead OF through the

so doing they are In danger at the
outset OF becoming the play thing Of
democratic political gathering.
IL isa tribe surprising that the for
elgn ENJOYS Of a nation struggling for
freedom are not entitled TO receive
the sympathy Of the American people
or Of that part Of them allied 10 the
democratic party. The suspicion IL
axcited that N, In the beginning OF

The real fear Of the republican

whereby. The Cuban people have been
robbed of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars by appointees of President Mcktn-
ley, aud the United States has been put
in the position of an unfaithfnl trustee,
the facts of the crime are likely to be
smothercd In she interest OF Mcktn-
lcy's reelection. At present the pur-
pose OF the administration seems to be
TO make show of activity in dealing
with one or two of the culprits, and
then treat the whole subject as no
longer of public concern. Then the
plea will be offered that the wrongdo-
Ing VAS liable TO occur under any ad.

An answer like this. however, does
not cover the case. There have been
dishonest officials. II Is true, under
