THE KANSAS CITY PLATFORM.

orados Democratic state convention, just held,
did not intruct for anybody, but it Endorsed the
Kansas City platform Of the states and terri
tories which have held conventions many have
either sanctioned the Kansas City deliverance
or will do so in the St Louis assemblage in July
says the ST. Louis Globe Democrat. These are
California, Iowa, Kansas Nebraska, Nevada,
New Mexico Oklahoma, Rhode Island and
Wyoming Of course, still larger number of
state conventions already held have either re-
| jected or ignored the Kansas City platform, but
enough of them stick to the 1900 outgiving to
make good deal of trouble for the Democrats
in the national gathering.
! There is no longer any doubt that Mr. Bryan
! is still parsonage of considerable consequence
in his party He has been read out often by East
ern members of the Democracy; but the astute
leaders of the party in the East as we'll as in
the West know that he is a parsonage to be
reckoned with. There is not the fantest reason
to suppose that the St. Louis convention will in
dorse the Kansas City deliverance, but enough
votes will be cast here for it to show the Demo-
cracy that it can neither defy nor ignore Bryan
with impunity
| All the states and territories which have
held conventions thus far that can be counted
as favoring the outgiving of four years ago are
west of the Mississippi except Rhode Island
| The only states of the North or West carried by
the Democracy in 1900 were in the TRANSMITS
| issippi region however. BY throwing Organism
overheard this year the Democracy will destroy
it's sole chance of winning any state outside of
the slave territory. The West we'll the
North is against the Democracy any division
which repels the Bryan section of the party.
Although the Nebraskan may not be able to
get the nomination for himself if he should de-
eide to work for it he is able to wreck the
chances of any of his enemies in the conven-
ton, and he will be still more potent in an adj
verse way at the polls Co1orado's Endorsement
of the Kansas City creed is note of warning
to the Democrats that the irrepressible conflict
of 1896 and 1900 is still fact.
There are plenty of indications to the effect
that if Bob Dunn is nominated for governor by
the Republicans, John Lind will against
him. We fear lest even the support of the
Morris Tribune would not be able to save Mr..
Dunn
This is an era of hust1ing. The doctor,
lawyer, insurance man, real estate agent and
mechanic find competition and must hustle to
meet it, AS with men with towns. They
have got to offer newcomers good water sewer
age clean streets and pleasant surroundings to
catch and hold them. They must do it even to |
retain those who have lived for years in the
place.-Glenwood Herald. t
Another week and half and the campaign /
be over. Down in the Cities the contest is pref /
ty warm, and stories of all kind sprung first by 1
one side and then by the other going around. !
We notice no important developments except Il
the fact that the Dunn speakers are now openly n
fighting Senator C1app, which shows that they !
have become desperate. Insurance Commits
sioner Dearth, who has been strong Dunn
man, has given out in statement that he can
no longer support Dunn. He gives as his rea-
son Dunn's unwarranted attacks on Van SAINT.
The second congressional district is going
to have warm congressional fight. Miller of
Luverne, recently announced that he will run
for the Republican nomination for congress,
and his platform is to be moderate tariff re-
vision and reciprocity McCleary's stand with
+bo s+ordpatters has been some what unDODulari
