ticle is in harmony with the spirit
of the men who control the peculiar

to censure the Redwood county com
missioners for refusing to allow a

refused to pay because Brown coun-

1t is not possible to rightfulIy attribute
the defeat of Mr.. Bryan to any one sole
cause. Perhaps the principal circum-
stance operating to bring about the ut
ter collapse of his presidential ambitions
was his own stupid insistence on put
ting the silver idea into the platform
and keeping it in the public view
throughout. The purely machine char
acter of the convention which nominated
him was at once recognized His com,
plete control of its machinery, and his
giving his entire time and a attention
to his political interests, to the exclu-
sion of all other occupations. while
generally regarded as a poor man who
was required to work at some
settled calling for the support of
his family, both tended to cast dis
credit on him as reformer, from the out
set. There was, too, the circumstance
that reasonable measure of prosperity
had come to the common people of the
country. The war had been brought to
a most creditable close, and the people
themselves on the mere academic Ques-
tons which were under consideration
of the effect upon our political and So
cial life of the acquisition of the former

proclaims that the people are not willing
to accept the radicalism which is asso-
ciated with Democratic policies since the
alliance was effected between PopuIism
and Democracy. Substantial results in
politics and industry the people are
looking for. They are willing to sus-
tain that party which produces those
results.
The party which devotes itself to mega
ton will never win the support of the
American people. The entire Bryan pro-
gramme was a negation save in the mat
ter of the reconciliation of silver, and
there was enough in that affirmation 10
frighten the sober citizenship OF the
country.
Whatever other general conclusions
are to be drawn from the last presiden-
tial figures, one is inevitable. 1t is that
Mr.. Bryan should step down, and with
him all who in the leadership of the
party have stood for the radicallsm
which distinguished him. If they do not
step down voluntarily, the Democratic
voters of the country who still maintain
faith in their party must force them to
step down and make room for those
who IN the past have shown the ability
to win success out of conditions quite
as unfavorable as those attending the
two successive defeats of 1896 and 1900.

THE BRYAN FIAsCO.

With results fresh in mind, there are
few studies more interesting or instruct
I've than election returns. No man can
be said to be really capable of reaching
correct conclusions on election probable
tiles who has not made some considera-
BILE study of preceding election figures
The returns of the last election are ex-
ceptionally instructive to those who wish
to read the lessons, or any of the many
lessons, which they embody.
The one significant fact above all 9TH
ers which the latest returns set forth
is that the Democratic party, through
its presidential candidate, was regarded
by the people Of the several states with
even less Of favor in 1900 than in 1895.
The vote for Bryan in most, if not all,
of the states showed serious falling
off. In this state that gentleman ran
behind Gov. Lind something like 1900
votes. In Illinois the Democratic candf-
date for governor was beaten only by
$1,000 Bryan was beaten by $4,000. In
Michigan he ran behind his party's can
didate for governor by 10000. In Indiana
he lacked 1900 votes of the candidate
for governor on the same ticket: While
in Chicago, which we were all assured
was certain to give Bryan such a big
majority that the state would be car
ried for him, Aschuler, the candidate
for governor, got something like 1850
more votes than did the presidential can
didate. According to the figuring of the
Chicago Tribune, Mr. Bryan fell behind
the party's candidate for governor in
the states of Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota,
Kansas, Michigan and New York by the
enormous total of $4,000 votes.
Different explanations will be found for
the weakness of Mr. Bryan's second
candidacy. Generally he was regarded
as much stronger man in 1900 than in
1896. While there was absolutely no
choice left, but to renominate him. ow-
ing to the absolute control which he and
his immediate friends had and held of
: the party machinery, nobody expected
at the outset of the campaign that he
would have suffered SO inglorious a de-
feat. The issue of imperialism was re-
garded as "a strong one for Mr.. Bryan's
cause. He made the most Of it. Yet
{ it proved of no avail On the contrary,
the verdict which had been given in
states like Oregon and Iowa a year be-
fore indicating in the strongest manner
the acceptance of the results of the Span

CHEAP CAMPAIGNING.

If we may believe the affldavits Of the
congressman and mayor-elect in Mime
apolis, that city must be a heaven Of
economical political campaigning. The
affidavit of Congressman Fletcher. pur-
porting to enumerate all the expenses of
his campaign for nomination and cleo
ton, includes not dollar contributed
to the campaign committees to meet the
expenses of the campaign; while that
of Mayor-elect Anes leaves one to infer
that mayoraIty candidate in city
of 100000 can get along without spend
ing dollar for cigars or other kindred
incidentals, and without even paying
the county auditor for fling his primary
election petition and certificate of nom
ination. This is cheap and easy cam
paigning. and should make Minneapolis
a Mecca for office seekers

unique. He IS perhaps the only con-

tribute something to the expenditures

paign and secured his election Many
