BRYAN THE ONLY CANDIDATE.

From present indications, Mr. Bry-
an, Notwithstanding the fact that he
insists that unless the Democratic
party comes out squarely for the ini-
alive. and referendum he will sever
his connection with il, will be the
Democratic candidate for President.
Recently the New York Times sent
to all of the members of the Demo-
cratic National Committee a letter
containing three inquiries first,
as to the preference of Democrats
of the several states for President:
second as to Mr.. Bryan's popularity,
and third, as to whether or not a
candidate from the South would be
acceptable. >. 49,.
In Tuesdays Times replies from
nine of the. committeeman were
printed. 1t is fair to assume that
none of the others cared to answer.
Two of the replies were from COM
mitteemen from the South and seven
were from members in Northern
states One Of the nine was non
committal, saying, the Democratic
Convention was still fifteen months
OF. The two members representing
Southern states said Bryan was the
only candidate talked Of that his
popularity was as great as ever and
that a Southern candidate would be
acceptable, but wasn't urged. All of
the members from Northern states
favored Mr.. Bryan. Indeed. they had
no other candidate in mind. lin all
of the states represented by them
Mr.. Bryan is as popular as ever he
was, and in some of them he has
greater popularity than ever before.
All of these members from Northern
states said that there would be no
objection to Southern candidate
that there was no feeling whatever
against taking candidate from the
South. One of them said that after
Bryan had been elected twice and
had served his two terms. a Southern
man would be the Democratic nom
inee for President. ...-
1t Is evident form these replies
that unless there is a change in DEM
ocratic sentiment. not now regarded
as probable, Mr.. Bryan will be the
Democratic candidate. He need make
no effort to get the nomination. In
fact ne doesn't seem to be making
any. On the contrary. he is doing
and saying things calculated to array
some of the Democratic leaders
against him. Either he doesn't care
whether ors not be gets the nomins-
tfons~ors else he. feels so sure of 1t
that he thinks he can dictate to the
party the doctrines it shall adopt

Any one who knows China will realize
the significance involved in the appear

that within a few years the reign of the
