RADICALS WERE DEFEATED,
Resolution of OImstead on Southern Ap
portionment Lost, Some Republic
cans Helping Democrats.

Washington. Jan. 4.-The radical
element among the house Republicans
who favor cutting down the repre-
which franchise is abridged suffered
defeat because number of their
colleagues refused to act with them.
The issue was precipitated quite I'M
expectedly. The leaders had decreed
that the reapportionment bill should
be taken up. but before it could be
called Mr. Olmsted. of Pennsylvania,
offered as a matter of privilege, Il
resolution reciting the alleged
abridgement of the suffrage in
louisiana Mississippi, South Caro-
lima and North Carolina and directing
the committee on census to inyesti-
gate and report the facts to the house
in order that a constitutional basis of
representation could be established
for those states. The resolution Gre
ated a sensation. 1t was q surprise
even to several of the Republican
leaders. The leaders on the Demo-
cratic side sought in vain to head off
the resolution with points Of order.
but the speaker ruled against them.
They then began to filibuster. openly
avowing that they would fight every
proposition looking to the reduction
of representation from the southern
states to the bitter end Several of
the Republicans were secretly in sym
pathy with them, and their indiffer-
enee to the fate of the 0lmsted reso-
luton In the end gave the opposition
the victory. Many of them quietly
paired with absent Democrats leay-
ing their absent colleagues impaired.
AS result. when the question of
consideration was raised against the
resolution, it was defeated, 81 to SO.
The vote was strict party one. Two
Republicans. Lands, of Indiana, and
Mann, Of Illinois, answered present,
but did not vote. The story of the
defeat is found in the absentees on
both sides who We're impaired.
Thirty-two Republicans were absent
and impaired. against 16 Of the OPP
position. Those absent and unpaired
were:
Republicans-Bo utelle. Maine; Bros
ius, Brown, Burkett. Dick, Calder
head, Clarke. New Hampshire; DAZZLE,

The situation with reference to the
apportionment bill Is greatly compli-
Gated as result of the injection of
the Olmsted resolution. Chairman
Hopkins. however. was confident of
victory for his bill He thought the
Olmsted resolution might pass in a
full house and that the investigation
might be made. but that the matter
would emil there. Irrespective of the
fate of the resolution, however, he
would press the reapportionment bill
and thought it will pass on Monday.
If possible he may displace private
bill day today with his measure.

Something bordering on bitter
feelings has developed in Richmond

ney General. The determination to
beat State Senator Jeffries for the
nomlnationis very strong, PARTICULARLY
from the enthusiastic Willard sym-
pathizers, but the present trend is
surely working to the advantage of
Mr.. Jeffries.
With the delegates "undecided''
aud more of them instructed for
LeCato than for Willard, the claim
OF the latter does not seem as rosy AS
he would have it appear. Nor can
he hope to get the nomination he
desires through the 'sinfluence" of

Bryan Kissed by Ohio Democrats


The Gold Democrats of Ohio con-
trolled the State convention. They
turned their backs on BRYAN and
silver. For the first time in six
years they were in power in the party's
councils in Ohio. A picture of Mr..
Bryan presented to the convention
was Kissed.
In the stampede ''for principles
rather than men" the most striking
turn of the convention was on BRYAN.
The most bitter things were said of
his leadership III the committee on
resolutions, where it vas insisted his
name should not be mentioned and
that there should be no reference to
either of the national platforms on
which he made his cam paigns. After
this plan had been agreed upon, one
of the twenty-one members of that
committee offered minority report
reaffirming the Kansas CITY platform
and expressing confidence in BRYAN.
He received only votes from the
$50 delegates on his substitute for
the preamble.

A WORD TOO MUCH.

Had Mr.. Bryan kept quiet on the
Ohio affair, or delivered himself i'm a
somewhat different man ner, he would
have had the sympathy of all proper
thinking persons and the Democrats
of Ohio would have been under a
stigma. Many papers bad already
taken up the cudgel in defense of
Mr.. Bryan, and we had intended adj
ding our weak might, when it was
thought the Ohio Democrats had
misjudged him, and in misiudging
had played an asinine game. IL had
been argued, and we believed il, that
Dir. Bryan's uttersnces of late indi-
Gated that he would not again be \
candidate for the Democratic nomi.
nation but would take his place in
the ranks and lend helping hand
no matter what policy the national
party saw best to pursue. We con-
TESS, however. that we, with Others
were mistaken in this opinion. Here
are his deliverances upon the Ohio
episode:
1.-THE gold bugs, am afraid, are irving
70 aominister absent treatment to the
rank and Gle of the party.
u do not object to having Il distinctly
understood, that L intend to fight 10 the
otter end every effort to force the aban-
comment Of the Chicago aud Kansas Civ
platforms.
The provocation, truly, was great.
but there can be no excuse in man
VINO mas been twice so highly hon
ored declaring that if his defeated
views are not third time made the
clarion-cry he will fight adverse ef-
forts to the bitter end. Even if not
intended to convey the idea that he
viii fight it outside of party ranks
1t was very unwise, while still posing
as the leader of the party, to weaken
it by such utterances. The CITIZEN
was averse to Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton the last time, and we are more
than ever convinced that his nomi-
nation was the height of folly.
Anent this subject Senator Daniel
says:
democracy should look to the future
ana not be bound by past platforms and
traditions. The next platform should
meet the conditions of today and NOT
cater to issues that are of the past"
: And Sam Jones does not hit light
iy when he thus sizes up the party
policy:
The silk hose and cotton socks e,e.
ments OF the Democratic party have GOT
to stand together before 1t can ever
make shadow again"
