Bryan Threatens Democratic RuP-
ture.

Mr.. Bryan refuses to sit at table
with Mr.. Cleveland, and as a conse-
quence the Iroquois Club strikes his
name from the invited guest. He
announces in the Commoner that a
fight will be made at the next natio-
nal convention tor endorsement OF
the Kansas City platform with the
old free silver coinage plank included
Some of the Democratic papers APP
pear to think that unless the con-
vention adheres to that plank and
turns down the followers of Mr..
| Cleveland there will be such split
in the party rs will insure its defeat.
They seem to forget that the party, al
though greatly divided on that issue
in 1896 and 1900, voted almost as unit
for the.nomiDees. The Palmer tickle
carried very small PERCENTAGE. 1t
was the South that nominated Mr..
Bryan and declared for the silver
issue, but the South at that time was
worried about five cent cotton and
hard times, and was looking for any
thing that promised relief. This Sec
ton was also threatened with Pop
ulism, which had attained large
proportions because of the general
interest over depressed conditions,
aud the Democrats were willing to
acquiesce in measures whose efficacy
they doubted, in order to retain their
hold upon local Affairs. 1t is doubt
full whether the free silver advocates
were ever in an actual majority at
the South.
Now that conditions have changed
and prosperity is the rule, there is no
demand for change of the monetary
standard. The South Is satisfied
with the gold basis, aud it will enter
the Democratic convention with no
desire to punish that vast body that
stood with Mr.. Cleveland, 1t knows
that Mr.. Bryan is a failure, that all
of his preditlons have been falsified,
and that there is no hope for Demo-
cratic success except by ignoring tn
errors of the past and reclaiming the
man who cut loose from Organism.
This party will vote solidly for the
ticket nominated, and the platform
that recognizes present conditions.
Ii Mr.. Bryan breaks away his follow
Ing Will be smaller than the Palmer
contigent and he will find no respec
table body flying on to the Republi-
can party. Never were there better
auspices for Democratic success.
The Republican party during the
present Congress has shown an ina
biIity to meet the issues of the day.
they have evaded their responsibility
and contented themselves with talk
iny when they should have been act
ing. Mr.. Bryan is man of great
ability and of high personal caractor,
and the country, especially the South
would regret to see him retiring
sullenly TO his tent. He must bear
in mind that times change and men
change with them.-New Orleans

STREET FOR REPREsENTATIvl

- IOlt hLSEN u
The Progress is pleased TO learn
that Col H. NJ Street will be a can
didate for representative. Now that
is the kind of material we like to see
come out for that place. That
means business. 1t means business
for the state If the state lad few
more such men it would be better of.
He is not demagogue, free silver
crank, a regular bowler from How
lersville, but man who will work
for the best interest of the state. He
has been there before and if Lauder
dale county sends him this time it
will do an act that will be approved
of by the entire state, for whatever
service rendered in the legislature by
that gentleman will be for the states
good The Progress has not always
agreed with Colonel Street on all
public policies. but it is liberal
enough to give him the credit of
being conscientious in what he does
and during reconstruction days he
certainly did the state fine service
in the Legislature.
This reminds US that there are
several other very prominent men of
the state who are candidates for the
legislature and it seems that the next
legislature will be one of the best
bodies, represented by the most in
telligent men of the state that we
have had for years. This is COM
mendable to Mississippi and the Prog
ress is certainly glad to see it.
