distinguished as statesman in that
commonwealth because only in that
state is that peculiar style Of talent
appreciated and promoted. Whether
Jones beat Bryan, or BRYAN beat
Jones, is a question for the anti
quarian of the future to determine.
1t may be remembered that Jones
declared that Bryan was the equal
of Webster, Clay, Corwin, Lincoln
and five or six other eminent, concen-
trated American statesmen.
1t will long be a question as to
whether Bryan created Jones or
Jones created Bryan. Among emf

animated vocabularies will long be
treasured as verbal curios. Whether
Jones is to report the Bryanarchistic

resolutions for the national conven-

chosen to lead the valiant reform
forces as their choice for governor
of Nebraska, The Conservative,
without claiming to be soothsayer,
feels able to predict with reason
able degree of certainty that Mr..
Allen will see great light, and that
the columns of the Madison Mail
will be filled to overflowing with
heartfelt endorsement of the get
together policy. The only way for
d reformer is to reform as often as
the act suits his convenience or
serves his purpose, and the moment
that Mr.. Allen feels that his own
interests lie upon the side of fusion
and the gradual dissolution and
absorption of the populists by the So
called democrats, we will then see
just how deep lies his solicitude for
the welfare of populism. Again dis
claiming all intention of attempt
ing to pose as prognosticator, The
Conservative goes on record with the
prediction that in the event of his
selection by either side as standard
bearer, there will be no voice and
no pen in Nebraska that will more
warmly second the efforts of those
who are laboring to keep the populist
party within handy reach of the
democratic (excuse the misnomer)
heelers, than the strident voice of
William V. Allen, and the facile pen
of the conscientiously populistic edi-
tor of the Madison Mail. For the
only way to be real reformer is
to reform early and often, and Mr..
Allen is most finis he'd and artistic
reformer, and long experience has
taught him how, when and where to
reform to the best advantage.
