REPUBLICANS OF KENTUCKY.
They Are United or the Principles of
Roosevelt and the
Party.

Harmony among the republicans of
Kentucky will insure that state for
Roosevelt and state officers. Democratic
divisions are widening on questions of
principles as well as individuals The
present prospect is that the Cleveland
and the Bryan elements will fight each
other next year, more for supremacy
within the party than with an eXpecta-
tiOn Of success. Mr.. Cleveland will not
be passive in 1904 nor confine himself to
voting the republican ticket, gays the
81 Louis Globe-Democrat He will ac-
cept the democratic nomination if ten
derCd. At all events. he expects TO figure
prominently in making the ticket and
platform. MIR. Bryan will be equally
active and self-assertiye. He will not
forgive democrats who voted against
him unless they acknowledge they were
wrong Mr.. Cleveland and his associates
propose to demonstrate by the action of
the national convention that they were
right in 1896 and 1900.
But the probability that the democrats
of Kentucky. as well as of other states.
will be arraycd against each other next
year is less significant if the republi-
cans of the state also propose to fight
each other. Kentucky republicans were
deliberately robbed Of the state Offices
during the Gocbel period On fair vote
the state Is close. Kentucky belongs I'm
tho same geographical tier as Maryland
and West virginia The latter has be-
come surely republican and Maryland
has been usually republican during the
last ten years The republicans Of Ken

party and ON Roosevelt Minor differ

aoual ambitions win stop n Is n mis-
take q waste of valuable strength Ken

nifty for 1904 The use OF it depends on
themselves.

Bryan Says

tariff bill, which had the support of
Mr.. Bryan in congress, and which both
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan desired
should become a law in a more radical
form than that in which it was finally
enacted.
There was no divergence between the
two men on this point, and if the Chi
cago platform struck at Cleveland in its
approval of Altgeld's views of govern
ment by injunction and of states rights,
Mr.. Bryans own speciality was sixteen
to one, the paramount" issue. Here
he diverged from Cleveland very widely
but Cleveland's ideas on the subject
were known before the election of 1892,
and they were the winning ideas in the
elections of 1896 and 1900. 1t is hardly
clear, therefore, that the Cleveland ad-
minstration was so much worse than
the Bryan convention as a vote re-
peller. and Mr.. Bryan ought to get his
reasoning powers into a better state of
repair.
AS to his speech as a whole, we can
not discover that it is a keynote or raj
lying cry. It is strongly denunciatOry
of Mammon, but Mammon has no self
professed friends on the stump among
democrats or republicans.

enough that he considered a demo-
cratic victory in 1904 hopeless. His ex-
hortations TO his party to be willing
still to suffer defeat for the 'princi
pies" in whose support he has twice led
it to disaster proved his hopelessness of
victory.
In his clinging to ideas repeatedly re-
pudiated by the people, in his persist
ence in assigning every cause save the
true one for the unbroken series of
democratic disasters since 1894, Mr..
Bryan proved one fact beyond shadow
of question.
That is that the national democracy
can never hope to have even the begin
ming of a chance of success until it abb
solutely eliminates Bryan and Bryan
ism-until it gets rid altogether of a
leadership which forgets everything
learns nothing, and continually ISLANDERS
the American people.
