THE WORST FOR HEARST.

The worst for Hearst Is not that he
not to have done. nor that he ma,
have omitted to do the things he ought
to have done-not at ALL The wors
for Hearst Is that Colonel Wattersoi
has formally, officially and seriousl,
promised to support him for the pres
idency should he succeed in capturing
ihe st, Louis convention. OF which Mr.
Watterson has deeply sworn he viii
never he a member. says the Cincin
natl Commercial Tribune.
But Mr., Watterson is entitled to be
heard for the reasons that are within
him--or that were moving and i'm,
pelling him when he dealt the heavy
port Mr.. Hearst because he believes
Mr.. Hearst 10 be IA better man than
Mr., Bryan" In other words, not that
Hearst Is good. so to sGeak. but thai
he Is rot as bad as others are-at
least, one other.
There is such thing as damning a
man with faint praise. and Mr. Wal.
terson Is an adept and an accomplish
ed artist at the business, for when Mr.
Bryan made his campaign for the pres.
idency, and stumped Kentucky on his
own behalf, Mr.. Watterson thus de.
scribed him in the columns of the
Couiier-Journal:
William Jennings Bryan has come
to Kentucky and Kentuckians have
taken his measure. He Is Boy Ora
tor. He is dishonest dodger. He Is
daring adventurer. He is politi-
cal fakir He is not of the material
OF which the people of the United
States have ever made n president.
nor is he even of the material of
which any party ever before made a
candidate"
Do you hear 1t. Mr. Hearst? Mr.
Wat:erson will support you II you are
nominated because you are better
than Mr.. Bryan. But just think what
Mr.. Bryan Is. in the opinion OF Mr.
Watterson and the Comier.Jonrnal,
and then lie down to pleasant dreams.
II you can. happy In the knowledge
that. from the Watiersonian stan
point, 1t would never bust button
