Bryan q Delegate.

Mr.. Bryan will be in St. Louis with
all the rights of delegate heading a
state delegation. This insures fun
enough. He will not be easily suppress
sed, no matter how small a minority will
follow his leadership; but his following
will be considerable If the Hearst dele
gates are counted in it. or course he
will receive courteous treatment in the
sessions. 1t would be bad policy to treat
him otherwise. He understands conven-
tions, and will make every possible point
in parliamentary tactics. The conven-
ton will need a clear-beaded, cool chair
man. Mr.. Bryan will be primed for
making the speech OF his life. He can
not be shut cut, he cannot be howled
down. He can not be ou'voted. What
then? viii he bolt?-Boston Herald.
