States, most Of them chosen with
much difficulty as representatives OF
what is called conservative democracy,
permit a mere demagogue to bully
them into wrong-doing 1t must be
that the demagogue is greater than
the party.
Two-thirds of the delegates to the
national democratic convention voted
for Judge Parker on the first ballot
the man whom Mr.. Bryan had ira.
duced for three months, the man
whose friends Mr.. Bryan had yillified,
the man whom Mr.. Bryan had said
should not be nominated and could no.
be elected. q
When a cowardly committee repre-.
senting those delegates brought in a
platform which was silent on the
money question not a voice was raised
in expostulation or protest. Whine
hundreds were ready to shout for Par
ker, not one appeared in defense of
elementary democracy.
The Chronicle is not in sympathy
with Mr.. Bryan's ideas. For eight
years it has refused to believe that
Mr.. Bryan's ideas were acceptable to
the real democrats of the cbuhtry.
The result at St. Louis appears to end
the discussion. He and Hill are in
control and he and Hill have named
the ticket and made the platform.
The democratic party is attached to
Organism. 1t is subservient to
Bryan. 1t has been persuaded against
it's natural inclinations to nominate
ar unknown candidate whom Bryan
las antagonized, but it has permitted
Bryan to do the rest. The democratic
party is Bryan and there is no reason
to suppose that it's triumph under the
leadership of a mar who voted twice
for Bryan and free silver. and boosted
of it, would be anything else than a
triumph for Bryan.
Disagreeing fundamentally with this
leader and this party in most things
and agreeing with the republican
party in the essentials of it's creed,
the Chronicle today takes leave of the
democratic party and allies itself with
the republican. AS at present con
stituted and led the democratic party
is a menace to the peace and pros
perity, and the integrity of the United
States and the people. 1t has dis
carded democratic principles and
taken up with the radicalism of pop
ulists and socialists, the obstruction
ism, and the c%owardice OF wreckers
and demagogues. No good can come
out of it.
With a blank for a candidate and a
blank for a platform it will become
more and more a contemplate instru-
mentality for the exploitation OF Will
liam j. Bryan and the school of dem
agogues following in his train.
The Chronicle believes that the re-
publican party, while mo- free of fault
by any means, offers the American
people at this time the only prospect
of efficient, intelligent and honest
government that is anywhere to be
seen, and so believing, it will do what
it can to advance it's principles and to
strengthen its candidates.

Ing that in two presidential campaigns
the populists followed the Nebraskaa
and ignored their own leaders on the
ground that the Nebraskan was as
good a populist as any of them, he
now declares he is going to support
Parker, a man who is the very antith-
esis in his political and personal pref
erences of everything for which popu-
lism stands. Although Bryan consid.
cred Watson good enough to run with
him on the same ticket eight years
ago, he very evidently does not con.
slider him good enough now to merit
his support or have the benefit of any
influence he may exercise in the world
of politics.

Tuesday, July 10, 1904.

Bryan says he is going to vote for
Parker, but the manner in which he
says it conveys a strong hint to the
other fellows not to do the same thing.
For political reasons and in further
ance of ambitions he still cherishes
he is willing to eat crow. In a lengthy
explanation of his determination to
partake of the repulsive dish he lays
particular stress upon the seasoning
given the unpalatable morsel by the
"anti-imperialism" plank of the st.
Louis platform. He pretends that this
takes away the bad taste and enables
him to swallow that at which he would
otherwise gag. Considering that he
was one of the men who counseled
ratification of the peace treaty with
Spain that gave to the nation the
islands that have given rise to the
cry of imperialism and that his party
was responsible for their acquisition,
to the extent of having voted with the
republicans in the senate when the
treaty was submitted to that body,
Bryan is not adding to his reputation
for consistency. But he was never
noted for that admirable quality.

case Of the great Cunard liners now
being built. The whole gearing and
propellers are inclosed in q tube ex-
tending about two-thirds of the keel so
as to concentrate its driving force. On
either side are four two bladed pro-
