WILL THEY BoLTq

Recent events have clearly demon
strated that neither Mr.. Bryan nor
Mr.. Hearst have the slightest re
gard for the welfare or success OF the
Democratic party and that OF lar
greater Importance is their own ad'
vancement. On the part OF the for
mer such conduct is a demonstration
of the basest ingratitude. There were
thousands of Democrats, who, in
spite of their honest opposition to
the principles for which he stood,
gave him their loyal support simply
and solely because he was the noml-
nee OF the Democratic party, and only
an insignificant number of those who
had always been Democrats gave
support directly or indirectly to the
opposition party, and now, when ne
cannot dictate the policies and can
didates OF the party which has twice
given him loyal support, when the
party refuses longer to be led astray
after false gods and untenable and
discredited doctrines, he brands the
party as dishonest and packs his
clothes to GO" The party wishes
Mr.. Bryan to remain within the iold'
and To do what he demanded OF
Others, giveith his unstinted and loyal
support. 1t has right To expect
This, but il he is to remain with the
party he must he with it heart and
soul. Better that he should with
draw himself and those he may be
able to influence than to remain q
traitor and disturber of peace with
in the camp. No one expects any
better of Mr.. Hearst. He hasn't one
single essential element ofstatesman-
ship, and if he was stripped OF hiS
greenbacks would hardly make a re-
spectacle showing as a candidate Tor
Justice of the Peace. Ii is not sur
prising. therefore, that at various
points where Parker delegates have
been elected in the face OF such oppo-
si,ion as he could muster, We hear
that the Hearst minority is prepar-
ing a bolt. A Hearst bolt unsup
ported by a Bryan bolt would cut a
small figure, but between the two
they may create such discordin Dem
ocratie ranks as will rob the party oi
any prospect of winning.

that Mr.. Walker Is mistaken in the

Virginia are not at sea as to their
choice. Nearly every one that has
spoken at all is for Judge Parker, as
those OF other Southern States are,

Parker boom being in a collapsed
condition, that he will be nominated,
