/ victory.
IF the members of the party believe
that Mr.. Bryans nomination will help
the party. its principles and its policies
he will accept the nomination whether
the indications point to defeat or vic
| tory. A defeat can bring no disgrace
where the cause is a just one, but cow
ardice would be disgraceful, especially
in one who is as deeply indebted to his
party as Mr.. Bryan is
Stands for Equal Rights.
The next campaign will be an ap-
peal to the public conscience. The in
vestigations have shown not only the
corrupt use of large campaign funds
but the only source from which they
can be drawn namely, the corporations
that seek to convert the government
into business asset. The Demo-
cratic party stands for the doctrine
leges to none and therefore can not
promise favors to favor seeking cor
porations. If it made such promises
to the corporations it would be guilty
Of duplicity, for it would have to be-
tray the voters. as the Republican
party has done, in order to reward
these corporations as the Republican
party has awarded them. The Demo-
cratic campaign must be carried on
by volunteers who will work because
they desire the triumph of Democrat
ideas. We can not hope to appeal to
the sordid or to buy the purchasable,
even If such course would contribute
toward success. None should favor
Mr.. Bryan's nominations unless the
marty is willing to open its books and
show where it's contributions come
from and for what the money ex-
pended. The Republican party ought
to be challenged to conduct its cam
paign in this open and honest way,
and if the Republican leaders refuse
to accept the challenge the Democrats
IAN well afford to leave the issue with
the public An appeal to conscience
IS politically expedient as well as
morally right. for the conscience is
the most potent case to which man
deals. The national conscience has
already been aroused and a large ma
iority of the voters have been edu-
Gated to the necessity of real reform,
a reform that will make this govern
1nent again a government of the peo-
nle. by the people, and for the people.
1t only remains for the Democratic
party to convince the voters that It
can be entrusted with the work of re-
form and nothing will do more than
convince the public than a refusal to
negotiate with wealth end an honest
appeal by honest methods to the hon
est sentiment of the country

Governor of California Summons the

Sacramento. Cal, Nov. 15.-Gov-
ernor Gillette today issued a proclama-
tion calling a special session of the leg

Pittsburg, Pa. Nov. 15.-About 25

About IA other persons in the neigh

the concussion and plaster that fell
Apparently gas had been leaking
from a kitchen stove all night.
Early today when a match was
struck in the lower portion of the
house to light the stove there was
tern to pieces The roof was blown
high into the air and the front and
rear of the dwelling collapsed. Mrs.
Grossman and Jacob Bergeman. a

the subsequent. fall and fire.
other members of the families
which occupied the hose were thrown
from bed by the concussion and
severely injured. Mr.. Grossman who
struck the match, escaped with severe

transfer of all of his assets to cor
poration which should issue its obl1ga-
tions to the creditors, such obligations
to be indorsed by Mr.. Barney. This
plan had been approved by all OF the
creditors to whom it had been submit
ted.
LAS preliminary to submitting such
plan to tine creditors, an examination
of Mr.. Barney's books and affairs was
made by an outside expert accountant.
This examination shows that, on the
basis of the present low market values
both of real estate and securities, the
assets of Mr.. Barney exceed all his la
bilities of every kind by the sum OF
81, ,517, ,317.09.
1.-THE total Indebtedness of every kind
of Mr.. Barney to the Knickerbocker
Trust company is less than $3Io,u0o, q
considerable portion of which is entirely
contingent and, in respect of which ne
had no direct liability. The said sum
of s375,000 includes about $65.0O0 which
is the total amount in which he is IN
debted to that company on underwrtt-
ings. Mr.. Barney is obligated on no
other undertakings"
Was Worth $9,OOO,OOO.
Two years ago, it is understood, when
Mr.. Barney drew up his will he had an
estate worth over s9.00o,o00, above all
encumbrances.
The body was embalmed last night
and no autopsy will be performed as
the coroner had already determined that
he killed himself. The coroner will hold
an inquest on November 26.
The funeral will be held either tomor-
row or the day after.
Mrs. Barney, early today, was report
ed as still suffering severely from the
nervous shock caused by her husband's
death. A physician was in attendance.
The death of Charles T. Barney Is a
blow to the project for the new theater,
in institution that is to be SO literally
endowed that commercial considerations
can be completely ignored In the pro-
duction of plays. He was active In the
and 1t was settled that ne
was to be one of 80 founders who were
to contribute 100000 each. According
to the plans the new theater was to pc
opened some time in the autumn OF
1908 Opera comique was to be gwen
on one or two nights a week: the others
being devoted to the more serious
drama in an attempt to foster the
American drama by the production OF
plays by American writers.
Otto H. Kuhn, the banker, who Is also
deeply interested in the project, salo
that the effect of the death of Mr.. Bar
ney on the plans for the new theater
would not be known until the FOUNDERS
had met and discussed the situation.
There is to be q meeting some time next
month.
stMr. Barney was the most active OF
all the founders of the new theater,
said Mr.. Kuhn, "and don't know just
what we will do now that we are de-
prived of his efficient help. He has been
a leading spirit in the movement from
the start and his death will be a SAD
shock to all Of U.S."

ton will strengthen the Democratic
party more than the nomination OF
some one else. Not only will be not
seek or ask for the nomination but
he will not assume to decide the ques-
ton of availability and if the prize
falls to another he will neither be
disappointed nor disgruntled. At the
same time he denies that he has wait
ed this long in desire to see whom
the Republicans are likely to nomi-
nate or to ascertain the chances of
victory.
The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
says today:
Now that the election of 1907 is
past and plans are being made for
next years campaign, Mr.. Bryan feels
that a statement is due to the public.
Those who prefer another candidate
are entitled to know his position and
those who favor his nomination have
a right to demand an answer to the
question so often put. will you ac-
cept a nomination. His refusal to
answer the question has led to the
circulation of many false reports, and
unfriendly newspapers have taken ad-
vantage of his silence to misrepresent
the attitude.
Mr. Bryan will not ask for or seek
a nomination and he will not assume to
decide the question of his availability
He has been so amply recompensed by
his party for what he has done and
for what he has endeavored to do that
he can not claim a nomination as a re-
ward; neither should his ambition be
considered, for he has had the honors
enough from his party to satisfy any
reasonable ambition. The only ques-
ton that ought to weigh with the
party Is whether the party can be
nomination than by the nomination of
some one else. If he can serve the
party by being it's candidate, he will
accept the commission and make the
best fight he can. -t-.-
VIII Not SuIk If Beaten.
IF however the choice falls on an
other. he will not be disappointed or
disgruntled- His availability is a ques-
tion to be decided not by him, not by
few leaders, not even by the LEADING
newspapers that call themselves Demo-
Gratis but by the voters of the party
and to them he entrusts the decision of
the question. They are the supreme
court in all matters concerning candi-
dates, as they are in all matter con-
cerning the platform.
He assumes that they will not select
him unless they desire to make an as-
gressive fight for the application of
Democratic principles to present condi-
ttons. and he also takes it for granted
that the organization of the party viii
be in harmony with the platform, and
will be composed of men whose political
records will invite confidence and give
assurance that a victory, if won. win
not be barren victory.
1.-The Republicans must nominate eth

whose position on public questions is

cratic party should be the same. no

of Republican mistakes it must depend
on its merits for success, and not on the
error of its opponents.

determination of the relative availabil1-

ought not to have any influence in de-

mo one can estimate the chances of
the party in the next campaign with
sufficient accuracy to make his candi-
dacy dependent on the outlook. While
Democrats have reason to be encourag-
ed by the fact that Democratic princi-
pies have grown in popularity, and
that Demo cratic policies are now prais-
ed by many who denounced them a few
years ago, and while fruther encourage
ment is to be derived from the fact that
the Democratic party is more united
than it has been for many years, and
the Republican party more divided, still
the action of the Democratic party can
not be made dependent upon the pros
pect of success. The prospects now seem
excellent but Democratic national
adopted and candidates nominated,
whether the prospects are bright or
gloomy, and the party must make the
best fight 1t can, whether it enters the
campaign with fear or with confidence.
Democrats believe that Democratic
principles are sound, and that Demo-
cratic policies are necessary; they
should therefore indorse those princi-
pies, and present those policies, and then
select as their candidates those who in
their judgment will give the party the
greatest assurance of benefit in case of
