II l. now perfectly evident that in one
respect, at least. Mr.. BRYAN has proved
himself 70 be- a better politician than his
advisers and campaign managers.
BEY.S approached the present canvass
with his mind made up a. to the particular
role he was to play. The part he had
chosen was that Of the nan Of unyielding
principles and outspoken convictions. who
had rather risk defeat than abandon or
suppress the issue with which his name
was identified. lie had prepared him
self to act sincerity, disinterested courage,
and devotion to the cause Of free silver at
sixteen to one: and no doubt he would have
acted them well, from tho histrionic point
Of view, If he had been left 10 himself.
The proof that such was the original pur-
pose Of this accomplished mime was plain
al the time Of the Democratic National
Convention. HILL went to Lincoln and
~endcavored unslCcessfully 70 persuade
BRYAN TO change his programme. Others
pleaded with him in vain. \ majority Of
the delegates to Kansas City differed with
BRYAN. He was nobly resolute. Free sill
yer il must be, IL BRYAN it was to be. He
impressed his Will upon the convention.
forced free silver again into the platform.
and made up his mobile face for the digni-
fed part he had selected.
Just at what time and by iust what argu-
ments BRYAN was induced TO relinquish
the heroic role and lend his protean talents
20 variety. the general public do not yet
know. 1t is not unlikely hat the Hon.
RICHARD CROKER could contribute some
information on the subject. At all events.
the influences which finally persuaded the
candidate to reconsider his determination
were not only short sighted, maliSn and
Of fatal effect in regard TO BRY,N's personal
reputation and prospects Of continued SUI
premacy on the Democratic boards; the
sequel has shown also that these counsellors
were positively inferior in political per-
spicacity To the man who weakly yielded 10
their advice.
Who will pretend now that BRYAN has
gained more votes among the sound money
Democrats Of the Eastern States or the
Western States by his attempt TO suppress
and evadp the financial question than he
has lost even among the sincere silverites
who formerly believed in him as al honest
and fearless leader?

a few single words which will be overlooked by
many We learn that an important railroad con-
tract has been closed between the Government
Of Guatemala and an American company. by
which the latter Is to reconstruct. extend. con-

valuable concession Of land goes with the
contract, as well as an issue o! 81. 900. 900 Of gold
bonds bearing 8 per cent. interest, with an ad-
vantageous redemption cause. Steamship
lines are contemplated in connection with the
railroad.
That is TO say. an important commercial In
vasion Of a Central American State Is about to
take place and a decisive step made in the de-
ve~lopmentsof that vast field for profitable en-
. rpris' lying south OF us. which has so long
and vainly invited us. Strangely enough. this
territory lying at our doors has hitherto been
chiefly occupied by foreigners, English and
German influences prevailing. But the epoch
making events o. the past two years have
thrown down he unnatural barriers which ex-
Guided us from our righttui field o. activity,
and these magnificent opportunities are open

tors Petition" In which they inquire what
would be the a tual ell g. vpon deposits by a
Free Coinage Silver bll such as is advocated
by Mr. Bryan.
Among other things Mr.. Ehoades says to
them:
