Bryan as to afford no safe holding ground for
men of conservative views.
Of the transparent honesty and sincerity of pur-
pose of the two men, it would be indeed difficult
to award to either the uncOntested palm of vic
tory; and the American people observe such
things. At the same time there are few of their
countrymen who fail to recognize that both men
are politicians well statesmen and that in
the former capacity both are gifted with an ex-
traordinary degree of astuteness.
Finally, to those accustomed to make close
analyses of the utterances of public men, to read
between the lines, as it were, the recent deliver
ances of the President, at Provincetown and st.
Louis, seem to be, to say the least fraught with
thoughts startling in their suggestions of inno
walton as any to which Mr.. Bryan has given utter
ance.
Both of these gentlemen have had much to say
about the ancient document known the Consti-
tuition of the United States; and both of them
have appealed to John Marshall its great
FOUNDER, to support their political disquisitions
In view Of the most recent enunciation of con-
stitutonal law by the Supreme Court of the
United States in the opinion rendered last May in
the case of Kansas " Colorado, it might be- per-
haps, work of supererogation for mere lawyer
to say that John Marshall, Roger Brooke Taney-
or any other deceased Chief Justice of the United
States would, if he could, burst the cerements of
the grave-in order to stamp with disapproval the
mildest constitutional theories of either Theodore
Roosevelt or William Jennings Bryan.
But then neither of these eminent statesmen
has been heard to profess great admiration for the
courts, which latter not, ordinarily, accus-
toned to view things from the viewpoint of egotis
tic and mpeccable infalibity.
Benjamin Ryan Tillman is a statesman who has
appreciably had an almost phenomenal growth in
the estimation of his countrymen. man of fiery
and impetuous character he came to the Senate

could be termed reprehensible in the politics of
the South. He was supposed by many people in
the North, those by no means familiar with the

postion"; and yet for each one of whom his
countrymen cherish a profound regard and deep
seated admiration. 1t is but an exemplifcation
of that ancient adage that "honesty"-to which
might be added in politics, raightforwardness-
"is the best policy the policy of Roosevelt.
Our readers will detect at a glance William
Jennings Bryan and Benjamin Ryan Tillman,
Americans, and James Bryce, Britisher: all of
them great men, true men, men for us all to be
proud of-be their political views what they may.
We all know of the marvellous political career
of Mr. Bryan. member of Congress, and dele
gate to the Democratic national convention, moth
ing more; he made speech at the gathering of
his party which swept the convention off its feet,
and caused him to be made the nominee of party
which had twice elected Grover Cleveland as
President of the United States. Twice the candi-
date of his party for the most exalted post, tenn
poral and elective, which the world has had it in
its gift to bestOw upon nOn-ecceSiaStic since the
downfall of the Roman Empire, William Jennings
Bryan has twice gone down to defeat; and yet,
if the signs of the times do not mislead, he is
once more to lead his party in the political arena.
The man, still young for he was born so re-
Gently as March IL, 1860, is living, virile force
without whom it were more than idle to base
political prognostics. He is in the arena; and in
it to be dealt with-and accounted for.
Should he again be the presidential nominee of
his party, many thousands of the old line Demo-
Gratis, so called, men who could not be induced
either to support him openly, to vote in secret
for his electors in his two previous campaigns,
will be found giving him an earnest and sincere
support
This, as against Theodore Roosevelt or any
candidate of the Republican party known to be
identified with those policies which have received
the Presidential "imprimatur"
This is largely due to that wave of radical re-
FORM if such it may truly be called, which has
swept over the country of recent days; and which
has rendered it all but hopeless for a man of
known conservative views to stand before the elec
tors. More far-reaching than this is the fact
that in spite Of official and inspired disclaimers
and denias, the avowed policies of President
Roosevelt appear to voters of the average intel
lgence to be so closely allied with those of Mr.

sincerity of conviction. AS lecturer Mr.. Tillman
commands large audiences wherever he is adver
tised to speak; and he is said, like Mr. Bryan, to
have been made comparatively wealthy by his
career on the lecture platform.
He deals in his lectures with one question only
the negro problem of the South; and he takes the
extreme view held by the whites of the South
upon the proper solution of that important, not
to say burning question, which has held the States
of that section practically solid for the Democratic
party ever since the whites regained control of
local aHa1rs. There are many southern states
men, men of his own party who do not agree with
the extreme views of Mr.. Tilman; but there is no
other public man who to-day has stronger hold
upon the people of his state than has Benjamin
Ryan Tillman.
His reputation has been so largely that of a
political fighter that there are comparatively few
who have even heard of his efforts in behalf of
education; and yet he not only was the founder of
the Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical College
at Fort HILL, South Carolina, the old home of
Calhoun, but also the Winthrop Normal and In
dustrial College, at Rock HILL in the same state
Both of these institutions have taken high rank
in the South and both of them reflect great credit
upon their founder.
Mr. Tillman gained great celebrity as the author
of the state dispensary system, whereby the con-
troll of the sale of liquor was taken directly into
the hands of the authorities; and although the
system proved to be failure, the state having
gone back to local option, the purity of it's authors
motives has never been impugned
Mr.. Tillman was the central figure at the South
Carolina Constitutional Convention of 1895, which
instituted an educational qualification for suffrage
thus rescuing the state from the control of the
ignorant and vicious elements of the population.
and solving for the time being at least the vexed
negro question.
Finally, Mr.. Tillman especially conspicuous
at the last Democratic National Convention as an
advocate of harmony within his party; and while
his efforts did not judging from the result of the
presidential campaign meet with any degree of
success, the campaign was from start to fnish

Mining Stocks Rally
and Prices Advance
IS Stirred by a Story
About BaruCh and a Deal

Three matters OF interest engaged the
attention OF those concerned in Ne
vada mining and Nevada mining shares
while stock selling was in progress in
this city yesterday The first Of these
was a general turn for the better in
prices. which was accompanied by
briskness in the demand for shares.
The second was report that in this
city deal had been put through for
the purchase by Smith e. Ericsson OF
100000 shares OF st. Ives stock that
was held by the Lochart interest in
st Ives, the deal involving more than
$3.50. 600
The third was hardly OF less interest.
being report that B. NJ. Baruch. who
financed the deal by which the Gold
field Consolidated Mines acquired the
Combination Mines. was about TO in
spect the properties OF the Nixon
Wingield merger at Goldheld, in COM
pany with Eastern capitalists For
some time it has been said that
movement in Goldneld Consolidated
would begin with the arrival from the
East of certain men of money. The
supposition is entertained on the street
that Baruch and his associates are the
parties that will set the wheels in mo-
ton. Baruch has an option on 1.000.-
600 shares OF Goldfield Consolidated
Mines at the rate of $3.50 share. He
advanced Sl,00o.oO0 IN cash when the
deal for the Combination Mines was
accomplished. He may now be ready,
so il is surmised to pay se.500.000 ad-
ditional into the Goldheld Consoli-
dated Mines treasury. Baruch is as
ISOLATED with Thomas r. Ryan in rub
Der and copper concessions in Africa
and Mexico.
Many were caught mapping yester-
day when the upward turn in mining
shares took place. The rise was de-
cided and quite general Blue Bull sold
at - cents and the dealings were Al, 500
shares: Columbia Mountain rose from
SIS to 90 cents; Combination Fraction
went from Ss.15 TO sA20; Daisy from

at intervals showed high-class form.
In the first half Noble Of Lowell
started the scoring by throwing a diff
cult field goal Braunagal of the op-
posing side did the same and then
Lowell started in on it's point getting.
In all ten field goals, representing
twenty points, were made. four by Mas
