his magnetism, and above all his fear
less determination to do right. They
admit that of all the men at ST. Louis,
Mr. Bryan is the coolest and most self
possessed
And well he may be. The convention
apparently is completely dominated by
the plutocrats-and God only knows
what they may do. But whatever
that may be, Mr.. Bryan knows that
his voice will be raised in protest
against the wrong and for the right;
and then, If organized greed over
powers, his conscience will be clear
He will go down-if he goes down
with colors flying.
/ 1t is not clear yet that Mr.. Bryan
will fail Late bulletins say he has
knocked the gold plank out of the
platform, and other rumors say he
has been nominated, with Parker for
running mate
OF course, nothing is certain until
the convention has adjourned sine

quantity in the convention, but Bryan
is the man around whom the radicals
are rallying. The st. Louis conven-
ton is one of the most momentois
since the one at Charleston in 1860,
and 1t may turn out much the same.
Black slavery was an issue them but
today universal slavery of both black
and white is on trial at st. Louis. AS
Mr.. Watson said in The Independent
last week:
What they will do. God only knows
but our fate hinges there"
