A slcN oF THE HIVES.

"A ofN-fs VT Each succeeding Democratic con ,vention being held in the States :brings new assurances that Wm. J.
 Bryan is to be the Democratic candi- date for the Presidency in 1908. It :has been clearly established that Bryan was defeated in his candidacy ,for the Presidency in 1896 and l90t ;by tke use of an enormous slush fund by the Republican campaign man. agers. conu ibuted from the treasuries Of she trusts and life insurance com
 panics. The rank and file of the
 Democratic party have never forsaken ,Bryen. He Is their ideal for Prcsi-
 dent, and the events of the past
 twelve months show that today he en-
 joys their confidence and respect to
 a greater degree than ever before. Bryan platform and Wrlnctpie3 are
 day by day becoming more popular
 ia ihij country. In 1896 they were
 consideIod aaarchistic, but there is
 feeling among the people that until
 Bryan. at the head of a Democratic
 Corsress. is in control of the affairs
 cf this government, will they not be
 assured Of prompt and effective re !. ment administration under Bryan
 means an end of government by :poWserful corporation interests. It
 means an end of graft. It will mean .. a government of the people, by the
 people and for the people in all that 7. those terms imply. With Bryan in
 the White House, we may expect the
 passage of laws, and their enforce ment, relieving the people from the
 burdens imposed upon them by the . trust interests, fostered and nurtured i: by the abominsble high protective
 tariff.
 . A further sign of the times was the appearance of David R. Francis in the Missouri Democratic conven-
 tion, and his words:
 , q wish to ask this convention to send its congratulations to the na-
 tional Democracy on the disappear
 ance Of our differences: there are no
 differences between us now. In 1904,
 what is known as the conservative
 element of our party asked that it be
 allowed to make the platform and
 rame the candidate Right fiberally ]. did the radical faction concede the , ,hoace to the conservative clement. You know the result.
 ''Ncw another campaign is ap- , preaching. Those of us who belong ! to what has been the conservative | fac:icn would not be magnanimous, ' .wG would not be worthy Democrats. ] f.we did not say to you that we will ' support your candidate and platform . his time. Differences that have di- f yided the Democracy exist no longer" Governor Francis described Bryan as a sincere lover of humanity and ka patriotic citizen of the United t States He eulogized both Bryan and Cleveland. amid profuse cheering. 5 Dave Francis, since 1896. has be { longed to the CleyeIand-Hi1 faction ! Of the Democratic party. His speech at Jefferson City shows that the so-
 called conservatives are coming home
 to help elect a Democratic President
 on an old4ine efferson-Jackson plat
 form. Such condition in the Demo
 cratic party means victory. The Dem :. ocrats have always won when they have been united. The time has come
 again when all Democrats. north,
 south, east and west, radicals and
 conservatives, can stand on com
 mon platform and give hearty and
 loyal support to the party's candidate,
