A Real Convention.

Philadelphia has reached the part
ing of the ways. She can now choose
between graft and honesty. AS
Mayor Weaver said yesterday, she
has been undoubtedly corrupt, but
she has yet to establish whether or
not she has been contented.
Her choice comes with the nomina-
tion Of city ticket by the men who
led this years fight for reform and
pushed the mayor into his present
position of great influence for good
government. Until those men, led
by three or four newspapers, stuffed
honesty down the throats of their
neighbors, Mayor Weaver and all the
other officials of the city government
stood with the machine, which was
at that very moment robbing the
city and laying plans to rob it still
further. A ticket bearing the in
dorsement Of these citizens, there
fore, is not the PRONUNCIATION of
impractical reformers. 1t is the
promise of hard fight with many
indications of success.
One augury of good is that while
there were 917 delegates, not one of
them went to the convention of this
party with his hands tied. The
theory Of instructions to the rep
resentatives of the people, whether
In party assemblies or legislatures, Is
all very well. 1t is that the voter is
thus able to express his own con-
victions and keep his representative
In line with them But the practice
is one of the widest channels of cor
ruption and debasement. The voter
has no choice. He must either vote
for men instructed according to an
unyielding standard of loyalty to the
organization" or he must get out
of the party. The result is that the
voter himself votes away his own
independence and poses his bosses
sc securely in control that If he sets
out 20 dislodge them he must join
party revolution.
These reformers chose another
means Of expressing their conyic-
tions. They elected as delegates
men they could trust-not unknowns.
Or workers. or lieutenants, but
men they knew to be honest and
thought to be courageous and wise.
In lieu of a form which it is polite
to call a ratification this convention
had actual ballots for candidates: it
chose the men It wanted rather than
the men wanted by clique behind
the presiding officer; it heard all
men fairly, and 1t did not barter
away in advance the right to ad-
dress the chair.
Many rewards hang before this
new city party. The chief of them
OF course. is an honest government
for a great and influential community
But not the least of them Is this
That by winning at the polls mex
month it can justify the election o-
party delegates who think for them
selves and administer a severe blow
TO the prevailing custom of electinf
tools who trade away even the privi
iege of recognition by their owl
chairman.

The Pot and the Kettle.

Some attempt is being made by
unwise politicians TO use the dis
closures made in the insurance in
vestigation against the Republican
party. This may be of some slight
apparent advantage if the inquiries
can be limited to campaign contri-
buttons made since the advent of the
siiver-tongued orator of the Platte.
Very few men engaged in large en-
terprises, or intrusted with the man
agement of great accumulations of
money, had any confidence in Mr..
Bryan or in the theories espoused
by his friends and adherents. 1t
was not a question of mere personal
interest; it was a matter of deep
concern to the whole nation and the
whole world in 1896, in 1900, and in
1904, the question of which political
party should prevail at the polls.
Wherever men could help to defeat
the silver peril by work they did
1t; wherever they could use money
to aid the sound-money party they
took that course.
1t Is very true that campaign con-
tributions to either party from great
corporations are wrong in principle,
and are usually associated with, at
least, the expectation Of a quid pro
quo But until 1896 great corpora
tions contributed to the campaign
funds of both political parties-and
with wonderfully excellent results to
themselves. The present fine virtue
! of the Democrats is due to the fact
that their absurd platforms cut
them off from the more luscious
watermelons in the patch 1t is
perhaps, quite true that the treasury
| of the Democracy was not flooded
with corporate wealth, but does any
one believe they would have rejected
it had 1t been offered?
There Is common belief that the
great trusts and commercial enter.
prises used, prior to 1896, to con
tribute regularly and with practica
impartiality to both political partie.

course, this was all wrong, but
