Mr.. Cleveland and Nebraska.

Ten years ago Stephen Grover
Cleveland would have been persona
non grata in Nebraska where he
will be today to take a prominent
part in the unwilling of a mon
ument to ]. Sterling Morton,
his former secretary of agriculture.
The sentiment which prevailed in Ne
braska in those days almost expatri-
ated Mr.. Morton, who chung loyalty
to his chief. While he remained among
his old neighbors, he was not of them.
Nowhere. not even IN Kansas, was the
democratic revolt against Mr.. Cleve-
land more pronounced than in Nebras
ka, where Mr.. Bryan's influence was
daily becoming more dominant. Mr..
Bryan stood for everything that Mr..
Cleveland did not, and though he was
n new leader, the promulgator of new
and strange doctrines, whoever diff
fered from him was held by Nebras-
kans to be guilty of political apostasy.
Mr.. Cleveland. differing from him
more widely than anybody else, was
naturally regarded as the chief apos-
tate.
Times have changed within the last
ten years. Mr.. Bryan still cuts a con-
siderable figure in his party. His in
fluence, though, lies in his personality
and no longer in his doctrines. The
faction represented by Mr.. Cleveland
triumphed overwhelmingly two years
ago. Mr.. Bryan had ceased to be the
man III his own state that he had been.
While he was admired for his brillian-
cy and respected for his honesty. he
was no longer blindly followed for the
soundness of his judgment.
In the absence of any other available
man he may again be the candidate Of
his party in 1908. but his party will
not go to slaughter on a platform re-
modelled after those of Chicago and
Kansas City. 1t will not take issue
with Mr. Clevelandfs views which
split the party ten years ago. though
it will probably not endorse them.
New fighting ground Will be chosen.
Mr.. Cleveland, if he is then living,
may be as widely separated from Mr..
Bryan as he has always been, but the
new issues have not yet arisen. So it
will be safe for him to venture into
Nebraska-intO the 'enemy's coun-
try''-a phrase credited to Mr.. Bryan.

The New York District Attorney.

The New York election which CEN
tiers about the office of district attor-
ney, rather than that of mayor, is OF
almost national Importance. District
Attorney Jerome, from the day he be-
came an incumbent, has cast shad-
ow over the mayors chair, so dense
that perhaps a majority of the people
of the country really forgot who was
the municipal head. But it was never
forgotten for an instant who was the
occupant of the district attorneys Of
flee Mr.. Jerome has devoted himself
most vigorously to the suppression of
crime, and he has admirably succeed
ed. sometimes by methods which
alienated members Of his own party,
If a New York politician may be said
to have a well-defIned party He was
nominally elected by the republican
party, but he was in reality elected by
those who wanted a decent city gov
eminent. Mr.. Jerome has lost none OF
the support of the decent element,
though he incurred the enmity of an
indecent element. so strong in mis- own
party that it's executive committee
two weeks ago defeated him for re-
nomination by vote of twenty-seven
to nine over the protest of the can
didate for mayor.
The triumph of Mr.. Jerome's enemies
was short lived. 1t was quickly shown
that he was stronger than the party
organization, and the committee dis
covered itself in the position of being
arrayed against the decent sentiment.
There were also discovered other
and unexpected elements Of Mr.. Jer-
ONES strength. The influence of even
Devery was for him. Devery could
have no personal appreciation for the
district attorney and no one could sus-
pect that Devery was in sympathy
with his efforts in behalf of municipal
cleanliness. He perhaps loves Mr.. Jer-
ONE for the enemies he had made"
So many diverse elements were be-
hind the district attorney that his So
called party was forced to see in him
not only the only man whom it could
elect to the district attorneys office,
but the man upon whom the success of
the whole ticket depended. Therefore
it was resolved vita practical una
nimity to undo the work it had done
and hold a new convention last night
for Mr. Jerome's denomination, the
minee having Withdrawn, at the
