Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. II.
The decision OF the Democratic a
0nprs to ~inaugurate a whirlwind cam
Daisn in this State. with William Jen-
u1ngs Bryan Is the star orator, and their
Mfll later decision to push him to the
0sont constantly and to double the num-
- Of his speeches, has revealed at last
extraordinary situation. which has
1~kor0ughly alarmed the leaders. Bryan
NJ been brought to Indiana for the sole
oakpose Of seeing IL his personal inllu-
&nto could not be relied on to stop .
Qhoiesale rebellion on the part of the
line Democrats. 1t has been an oIe@
Qcret for some time, but until now I
0omocratic managers have constant !.
xIanied Il. that the rank and file OF t..
r9diana Democracy, the men who voted
De Bryan because they loved him, the
mm who worked for silver because they
9olieved in It, have been thoroughly dis
xu6ted with the one-sided reorganization
~ the Democratic party. 1t is to bring
1Aeoe men back into the fold that Bryan
- been brought here, but it is not be.
UAtel shat the brilliant Nebraska leader
N1n DO more than make p~erfunctory
Goeeches for Parker. because in every
UUuntry town are to be found leaflets ex-
Deessing what Bryan's real opinions are.
md just what he thinks of Parker and
- desperate politicians who secured his
0omfnation at st. Louis.
The old line Democrats Of Indiana are
naturally 4 peculiarly loyal and straight
forward class OF men. They represent in
y4heir party the bone aud sinew Of the
ssreat manufacturing class, and more par
rsticnlariy the thoughtful. r~ock-ribbed, in
vteiiigent portion OF the farming com
I mnnity. They voted for silver in 1895
& and in 1900 because they believed that
st4e system OF free coinage advocated BY
k8eyan and the great mass Of the West
Democratic leaders would put an
end to their poverty and give them a
ebance to compete o even terms with
tAe Wall street magnates, who, they were
did, were stealing away from the people
lie wealth Of the country.

Conditions have changed since then.
Un1ensable prosperity has come to all
G1aeees. and there is no longer q DISPOSE
- u press the silver question to the
1rbnt. These old line Democrats, how
Ever. do not relish the idea of being
called lunatics or traitors, and still less
bhey relish the development OF party
ooffics which has absolutely turned over
