THE BRYANITES
TO THE FRONT
Democratic Managers Take Rr
Germans Advice


The feature of the week in national
politic- is the return Of thn Democrats
Ina'ag,rs to the frcr->.lvcr camp. EX
Chairman Jones and his faithful Bryan
atr,. ..riatl@ Welsh, of Iowa, ana johnson
ad Kansas, have been welcomed back int
ahr fold, and the old free-slvcr wing
OF the party is in the a>ccndency again
And this is the same week that MI

All r. career. Mr.. Hill was entitled to
rs uitude for the defeat of Organism
AT :, Louis last July. -Four years ago
at :, r,as City it was Mr., Hill who of
all ( Democrats there assembled had
Ghr .urage to openly defy and fight
Xir . ryan and his frce-SilYtr following.
Defeated at Kansas City, Mr.. Hill re-
luiI,i to New York with only one aim
in ir"-to wipe out the score and To
humi,ate and defeat Mr.. Bryan a> he
had been Inundated. To that end Mr..

VIII llcught out Mr.. Parker. and it was
his grncralship that finally nominated
hin + st. Louis: it was Mr.. Hills fer
Gilc Train that devised the ingenious
fa+c,i by which Mr. Parker committed

ord 1t was Mr.. Hill who fought the
election of Mr.. Tom Taggart to the
craftsmanship of the national commit
Gee. because he had early recognized in
him the mere city boss" whose Iimita-
dos were apparent
But Mr.. Hill has been Ovclrulcd ever
rsirpr thc noniEat.ou. Judge Parker
was willing enough t. accept the Homi-
,1atioa through the efforts Of Mr.. Hill.
hui he seems to regard Mr. Hills work
as merely paying off an old debt. Since
Che return from st. Louis Mr.. Hill has
hecm Studiously ignored and Mr. Cor
mans advice has been sought. Mr..
CONAN favored Mr.. Taggalt and 40
Mfr. THgGart has been chosen chairman
OF the national committee.
And now the German tactics Of 1892
hav" been reSurrcctcl-the Bryan free
salvcr wing must he placated at any
cost. In 1892 the PopulSts had Eom-
stated Il ticket and their following in the
West was considerable. BY Mr.. Cor
maus orders the Democrats throughout
Ghc West fused with the Populi>ts
Democratic electors were withdrawn
nnd the pOpuliStS' electors were placed
on the Democratic ticket in every state

Thcrr are ScctiCnt> oi the West where
only an Nbject surrender to Mr.. Bryan
tnd his Populi>tic tn, ories promise hope
of victory. AMI 81, in spite of Judge
ParkcrS gold1 standard declarations Mr..
BryHn's stAunchr>t allies of 1896 and
1900 are again invited to seats in the
Sanhclrim. Small wuIdcr, then. that

The surrender to the free-silver wing
of the Democrats is perhaps the first
intimati0n that Nj. Taggarts wishes
have some value iIs the councils of his
party. Ii is not t. be assumed. of
course, that Mr.. Ta=gart originated the
plan to invite Mr.. Ines and his Bryan
colleagues to the Democratic council
hoard. The credit for that is due to Mr..
German. But it i believed that this
return of the BryauiteS is preliminary
to Mr.. Taggart> return to Indiana. an
