THE OUTLOOK IN OHIO.
Representative Meyer Hopeful of

II Mr. Bryan. who has twice been
| hOn0red by tie Democrats Of the United
States with the nomination for the Pres
idency lived in Ohio am satisfied he
would sive loyal support 10 the Demo
cratic State ticket nominated last week
at Columbus. said Representative Meyer,
of Louisiana this morning
The platform adopted by the Ohio
Democrats" continued Mr Meyer. may
not contain everything that some fndi-
viduaI Democrats may have desired but
to my way of thinking it is strong and
clear on the cardinal principles and ten
cts of Democracy Y, hat more could
any Democrat ask2 True. the Ohio Dem
ocrats said nothing about. the Kansas
City platform, nor the free coinage of sill
Yer at the ratio Of 10 TO /. but what has
the Kansas City platform or free silver
to do in a State campaign.
Il think AIr- Bryan is too big man 10
feel that he was sighted or snubbed be-
cause the Columbus platform failed tn
make reference to him or to the Kansas
City platform The story that Mr. Bry-
an picture was trampied under .oot by
the delegates is. l am sure. a fabrication
without any foundation whatever-
Now, this movement the papers speak
Of this morning OF 4 few Democ rats get
ting up q convention to place another
ticket in the field because the regular
state convention did not reaffirm the
Kansas City platform is really child s
play
I would not be surprised to learn that
the scheme originated with Representa-
tive Dick, who. understand, is TO man
age the campaign for the Republicans
There is nothing to prevent three~or four
disgruntled politicians from getting to-
gether and doing as the Taiiors of ToOley
Street did, resolve that they are the only
true Democratic party in Ohio.
The Democrats have a splendid oppor-
tunity in Ohio this fan, and by present
ing a united front-and II seems they
were united in the Columbus convention
they viii make it exceedingly interesting
for the Republicans. It should be remem-
bered that Mr. Bryan is no longer a can
didate for the Presidency, and, besides
he IS not the only Presidential material
in the Democratic party. for when 1904
rolls around the National Convention will
not lack available men for the nomina-
ton"
