If they doubted Bryan's sincerity they
would not be disturbed by his expressions
of sympathy for the "down-trodden' and
his brotherly feeling toward all classes of
men, especially the very humble. Such
professions are not uncommon among poll
ucians, even Of the most pronounced
bourbon type. But they have come to re-
gard Bryan as perfectly sincere and much
of the enthusiasm with which he was re-
garded for awhile has vanished. giving
way to a vague feeling of apprehension
that II he should be elected President they
would have trouble with him. Bryan has
associated his own name with that of Lin
coin by the unmeasured praise of Lin
coins name and fame. By the republicans
like Towne, Teller and Dubois-the latter
the son of Lincoln's most intimate personal
friend-who went over to the support of
Bryan because of silver. he is heralded
as a second Lincoln. Even among the
really enthusiastic Bryan men of the south
the two names are associated in praise
as great defenders of human liberty. AT
the Kansas City convention badges bear
ing the picture of Lincoln were extremely
numerous and conspicuous, made so by the
silver republicans. and the bourbon demo-
Gratis twho were not particularly conspicu-

In North Carolina, in Alabama, in
Georgia, in Tennessee, in Louisiana and in
Mississippi. perhaps in other states south
of the Mason and Dixon line, Bryan is said
to be looked upon with more or less sus-
picion as to his sympathy with the ideas
which prevail in that section. Some ex-
press their dissatisfaction by saying that
he is too much of pOpulist, but this does
not truly indicate the cause of their appre-
henSiOn. 1t is really his democracy, in the
dictionary meaning of the word, that dis
turbs them A good many of that element
known as the bourbon democrats of the
south look upon Bryan much as they looked
upon Lincoln before he excited their special
resentment on being elected President. They
regard him as too closely allied to the
common people, 1t is all right to talk
about the plain people. equal rights and
privileges and pure democracy, but the old
style bourbonS of the south do not like to
see the pitchfork element, like Tilman of
South Carolina. come to the front as a
controlling force in politics. Social as well
as racial distinctions have long been rec
ognzed. To the minds of many Bryan is
product of that revolution in democratic
politics which began by the sending of the
uncouth T1llman to the Senate in the place
of the cavalier, Butler of South Carolina
and other men of the plain people class
to succeed distinguished southern gentle
men'-the same uprising of the less favored
classes which made populism active in the
south few years ago.

BOURBON DEMOCRATS
The Southern Element Regards Bryan
With Suspicion.
FEAR TROUBLE IF BE is ELECTED
Would Give Too Much Recogni-
ton Of Equal Rights.
EN- TEN T OF THIS CLASS

There is something queer in the attitude
of some of the oldtime southern demo-
Gratis toward Bryan. A very considerable
element of the democrats in many of the
southern states do not regard Bryan as
lone Of Them but contemplate him ap-
prehensively. To be sure. no voice was
raised against Bryan at the national con-
vention. but this is chiefly because circum-
stances did not admit of their doing other
wise than accept the inevitable" Mat
tiers had gone so far that to attempt to
switch to some other candidate seemed to
invite defeat and a pervading thought in
the south is to get control of the govern
ment. AS 1t is, there Is a great deal that
is perfunctory about the support that many
of the southern democrats give the ticket.
The negro question is likely to keep the
south solid for another election, but the
disposition exists, if local expediency did
not enter so much into consideration, to
throw enough votes against Bryan to turn
some of the states to Mckinley.

have complete control of an isthmlan
canal, connecting the Atlantic with the
Pacific. The new treaty allows the
United States to dig, own, and collect
tolls from such canal (; but prescrlbes
that the canal must not be fortified at
either end. 1t shall be open to all
nations in time of peace, and shall
never be blockaded. No act of war
shall take place within its limits nor
within three miles Of either end.
Other provisions of like purport are
incorporated. There is strong ele,
ment in congress in favor of the canal
and strong element opposed to 1t.
The transcontinental railroad influence
is used against the canal, and the fight
will probably be commenced on the
ratification of the treaty, the argument
being that if the United States is TO TO
build the canal, it is entitled to full
power and control over it.

McLAURIN MAY RESIGN.
Possibility That He Will Accept Place
on New Philippine Commission.

Possibility That He VIII Accept Place
on New Philippine Commission.
The following is from the Washing
ton Star of Wednesday afternoon:
"Senator Sullivan, of Mississippi,
had an important conference with
President Mckinley this morning re-
garding the new commission which is
to go to the Philippines. He urged
the president to appoint a southern
man of prominence on the commits
sion. The president, it is said, assem-
ted to this suggestion and indicated
that he would arrange the commission
80 that all sections of the country
would be represented.
"Senator Sullivan presented the
name of Senator McLaurin, of South
Carolina, for this honor. 1t is said
that his Democratic and Republican
friends reached al agreement today
for presenting his name at the White
House.
"It is understood that strong effort
will be made by influential senators OF
all parts to have the appointment Of
fered him.
"Those close to him and who know
of bis decided pro.expansion views,
think it probable that he will seriously
consider the acceptance. To accept,
he would have to resign his seat in the
senate, with more than three years to
serve and a strong hold on the good
will of the people of his state. His
friends declare that he is so convinced
that in four or five years the coun-
try will be unanimous in upholdlng
what has been done, he would not
hesitate to resign, leaving his political
ambitions to the future.
"Those who know of the presidents
high regard for Senator McLaurln
would not be surprised at his selec-
tion.n

the scientific Mr.. Hoch answered an

air was as usual. The singing of Miss

those who knew how to properly ap.

not, and the violin solo by Mr.. Lund
promises to be the talk of musical
circles for sometime to come. The
whole programme was rendered with
the most artistic precision.
