subsequent circumstances over which
he had no control. What is partic-
ularly burdening his mind lie clearly
what his old allies OF 1895, namely
the populists. silverites and socialistlc
admirers. will think Of the returning
conservatives, because he takes
pains to reassure them that the new
friends" are not to have undue infu-
ence over him when he assumes the
responsibilities Of power.
1t is noteworthy, however, that the
vilases, the Franchises and the Bel
monts utter no protest against these
assurances to ''old friends" nor dc
the populists and their former allies
show any sign of particular enthusi-
asm. The truth seems to be that the
new friends" are just as anxious as
Mr.. Bryan himself to hold the old
friends-for the purposes of the next
election.

Cannot Abandon Nomination.

ONeill Frontier Crep.).
Objection is raised to the state conven-
ton nominating a candidate for United
States senator on the grounds that a state
convention is not 50 much a representa-
ton Of the voters at large as is the legis-
lature. II is strenuously urged that while
the members of the legislature are the
representatives OF majority OF the people
the state convention is not. II this Is true
Of United States senator. It is true also
OF all state officers nominated by the con-
vention. And IL this thing is to be urged
against state conventions, with clear con-
sistency It can be urged against senatorial
and representative conventions. so that
with equal force It might be claimed that
our state senator's and representatives do
not represent the majority OF the voters.
We believe the plan of recommending
United States senators by convention Is
a step toward the election of senator's by
direct vote and should not be abandoned
until some better plan is offered.

Douglas County in Earnest.
York Times (renA


Douglas county is obviously in earnest
for Mr. Rosewater. The delegation to the
state convention is taking up the night in
earnest. They will not consider any other
candidate from that county for any ONCE
and will exert themselves to the utmost to
secure the nomination OF their candidate.
Yet IL does not necessarily follow that
Douglas county will elect democrats TO
the legislature II he is defeated. We do
not believe Mr.. Rosewater is unfriendly
either TO Brown. Currie or MeikleJohn, and
II either Of them should be nominated they
would receive his support. The success OF
the party Is OF far greater Importance than
the personal aspirations OF any individual.
The candidates are all men when we can
support without any scruples and the talk
about party defeat in any case Is out OF
order and very poor politics.

The overwhelming majorlties by which

but one thing-that he will be nominated
