NO NEED TO DROP HIM.

The Macon Telegraph, always Demo cratic. says:
 Unless by general consent and alncst and made to know his real place In the ran<s, the Democratic Party might az vel ask for receiver and 70 out of business. With a united West and East and South there were two successes only in forty years. How insane. therefore. is this prating against an attempt to get t09ethef again.
 we are becoming very thoroughly sat- isned thst ns Cropping will be required. for he will drop himself. It will be enough simply to ignore him in form ulating ths policies for the next cam paign. Nothing in the future of politics Is moro certain than that the next Ma tional Convention will be composed of men who win not reaf1rm or endorse the Chicago and Kansas City platforms. Den- ocrats in every section of the country are getting their eyes open to the fact that free silver cannot cut any figure In the next campaign, and with 1t win 60 some of the other rosuiistic heresies that led to defeat They are dead as the mummy of Rameses and the next convention will waste no time on them.
 Ignoring the issues of the last two cam paigns. means ignoring the man who forced those issues on the party and when that is done he will drop out In modern parlance he will bolt. He has made. that plain enough for no one to misunder- stand him in all his recent deliverances. His speech at Des Moines last Thursday night and his course after the speaking in attending a meeting of the adherents of the Kansas City platform afford all the assurance that any one can desars of his determination not to submit to or support e ticket which is not in harmony with his views. aEas
 Of course this will not and should not make any difference in the course to be pursued, by Democrats when they meet in conversion. They must adopt Dem- ocratic platform and nominate good men on 1t and then invite all Democrats to get aboard and ride with the procession. If all wtll get on. so much the better, but # any refuse then Farewell to Lochabar." or to Araby's daughter. and all the rest of it. If MT. Bryan and all who followed him. willingly or unwil- ltnsiy. will join in one grand effort, suc- cess win be almost assured. If he and any of his friends go out and refuse to figh4 the battles of Democracy 1t may mean defeat for the ticket but 1t will he defeat with honor To let him dicta c platform and ticket will mean . defeat to which the other two were but as April showers to . dsiuse. Bryan and Bryan Ism cannot win and the attempt will not De made. And when good ticket IS nominated on good platform, Mir. Bryan will drop ofr the train.
 Let us conclude this article with q timely extract from The Chattanooga Times.
