The aggregation of First district
Democrats who assembled at clarks-
burg and selected delegates to the Ken
sas city convention, did their work we'll,
so far as endorsing the Populist parry
which has swallowed up the identity of
the whllom Democracy. The opening
resolutions Of the conglomeration pass
ed by the convention, will be enough to
show how far they have gone towards
meeting the Populists who nominated
Bryan and Towne at Sioux Fails. The
resolutions referred to read:
Flrst-Resolved, That we. the Democrats
Of the First congressional district. 90 I2
reatiTm the time-honored principles OF
Jefferson and jackson.
Second-ResolVed, That we endorse and
reaflrm the Chicago platform OF 1893, with
especial emphasis u92n the Tree any uns
i6 TO /, and that It shall be made q plank
IN the platform OF 1900
These two oRlclal expressions Of the
convention are all that Is necessary to
discover the real feeling that permeatss
the First district Democracy. the reso-
lution lnstructing for Bryan being a
work Of supererogation. We are conf

1t now turns out that William Jen-
nlugs Bryan mapped out programme
for the guidance of the Sioux Falls Pop
ulist convention. or course his nomina
tlon was a foregone conclusion, and 1t
was only with reference to the Vice
presidency that he offered any sugses-
tions. The Omaha Bee claims that his
instructions were as follows:
Nominate no candidate for vice
president, or. II you do. take some one
that Will withdraw II called upon. We
must so play upon the prejudice, pride
and conscience Of the Democratic party,
whose candidate !. Bryan, would be-,
that II necessary the prestige of orlg!-
mating at least one of the two candi-
dates on the national tickle, must be re-
served for the convention to meet at
Kansas City. II enough Sioux Falls
delegates take themselves so seriously
that they insist on full ticket, give
them candidate for vice president
also, but pick man who when nomi-
mated will put into our hands his let
ter OF withdrawal"
This establishes new fame for Col.
Bryan as being somewhat rcsourceful
as politician, but how will 1t plsase
our Populist friends when they know
the manner of trick they have been
played. We are very much afraid that
there are many and serious obstacles In
the way of complete harmony at the APP
preaching Kansas City convention. II
Towne does withdraw then may We ex-
pect the withdrawal of tie entire Popa-
list support from Bryan. which Is a
factor of his strength he cannot very
well afford to part with.
