PERHAPS A BLESSING TO BRYAN.

from Inc Boston Herald.
The report that the straight POpulist
convention impending in Cincinnati viii
repudiate Bryan and set up a candidate
against him, if verified by its action. may
prove Of benefit TO him and TO the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is in this candidate and
this party's interest lot TO be too much
identified with the free-silver issues OF
four years ago, and such an end may be
attained perhaps by reputation of him
on the part OF extreme Populists better
than in any other way. 1t would lose Mr..
Bryan some votes in certain quarters, but
the probability is that these losses would
be much more than offset by the gains
made in other quarters, the latter of far
greater cOnsequer ce in their effect upon
the Presidential election. The States Of
Nevada and Idaho. and It may be some
other oil the smaller Commonwealths Of
the mining West, might leave him, but
suppose they did, and because Of their de-
lection he gained the votes of Indiana.
and possibly OF New York? POpulist Oppo-
sitiOn would make him more distinctiyely
the Democratic candidate. thus bringing
10 him Democratic votes that he lost four
years ago il the Eastern States of the Tn
lon. No careful political observer can fail
10 reach the conviction that such chance
as Mr. Bryan has rests upon the revival
OF Democratic strength upon new issues
and the persuading of dissatisfied Repub-
Hcans that he is hot too much welded 10
old ones. The repUdiatiOn of him by POpu-
lists on the ground that he is not suf-
ficiently with them in making free silver
and their other heresies paramount will
