to fail. The bare mention of his name set
everybody off. All the rest about him was
so much spoken against the whirlwind
of applause which his name had raised.
And here will be the difficulty next year
If, as now seems likely. the convention Is
composed of Bryanites and the purpose is
to put Mr.. Bryan up with one voice, what
orator will be able to handle the subject to
the satisfaction of such an assembly, or,
for that matter, to the satisfaction of the
general public? The impossible will be ex-
peCted.
But the difficulty may be avoided if Mr.
Bryan himself attends. He may decide to
do so. In fact strong as he is with his
party. certain of his issues would be wab-
bly, unless supported by him in person; and
the platform may take him to the meeting.
And once there, he would have no rival.
His appearance in the hall would bring on
another convention brainstorm, and a
speech by him would follow. And that
would be sufficient. Who would care to
make, G to hear, a formal speech of nomi-
nation after such a scene and its effect?
Still. the country is full of orators. and
as rule. men with that gift need no urging

AT Chicago in 1896 Mr.. Bryan nominated
himself. Nothing more was necessary to
impress the convention in his favor after
Lis cross Of gold speech. The convention
from that moment was his to command.
And then there was a dearth of orators of
the higher class. Taken as a whole the
body was not up TO the standard The can
didJtes were commonplace, and did not in

OF excitement, but nobody struck fire until

Who's Who?

Before we so any further, would it not be
well for us all to take stock of just where
we are, not to say just where we are at
| politically? Who may with safety affirm
! either where he is. or what he is? That is
to say, what security is there for the or
binary human being in making assertions
on the subject.
Observe how the great leaders are
chatting one another, and laying claims to
this thing and that Mr. Roosevelt is or
dinarily regarded as a republican. and re-
CARDS himself as one. Certainly he is recog
nized as the head of what is known as
the republican party. If his republicansm
is open to question. whose is safe? And
Yet no less man than Mr.. Bryan questions
it. He asserts that the best of what is in
Mr.. Roosevelt today, manifested in his
official acts, is democratic And he cites
i'll support of the assertion the vigorous
prosecution of the trusts and the railroad
rate-making legislation. AS Mr.. Bryan sees
matters-maybe for campaign purposes
Mr.. RoOsevelts republicanism has vanished
in thin air.
Gov. Hughes was elected as a republican.
Certainly he was nominated as one, and
trumphed over Mr.. Hearst, who was car
rying the democratic banner. The flower
of Gov. Hughes success in office so far is
the public utilities bill, which he wrung
fl ON legislature hostile in it's feelings to
any measures of that character. But now
comes Bourke Cochran with the claim that
the real basis of the utilities bill is the
democratic platform adopted at Buffalo
last year As Mr.. Cochran drew that plat
form he claims the right to eXpound it; and
those who know that gentleman's modesty
and conservatism of statement will hesitate
to suspect MIR. Cochran of a mistake. If
Mr. Cochran should err in such matters,
where would there be safety for anybody?
And as for Mr.. Hearst, what, if he is to
be believed, is there of progress by any
official in any direction in restraint of plu
tocracy that he did not either originate, or
mistaken, he set the fashion in the crusades
against the trusts, and for a time success
fully probed more of them than the gov
eminent itself, with al of its agencies. He
claims the championship belt as the trust
buster, and his services in that field en-
courage him to declare that he is repub-
lican of the school Of Lincoln and demo-
crat of the school of Jefferson. AS for the
school of the Independence League, he
started that, and is, of course, it's head.
The era is one of doubt and confusion,
claim and counter-claim. Why not COM
mission to determine who's who and what's
what, with instructions to bring in report
before the next national conventions and
authority to enforce its findings?

Bryan at Madison Square Garden.

n popular belief last fall that if Mr..
Bryan had omitted the government owner
ship proposition from his Madison Square
Garden speech his election to the prcSi-
deucy next Year could not have been pre-
vented. His admirers pictured him as
easily the master Of the situation. His old
friends were more arGcntIy for him than
ever, His old opponents had abatcd much
OF their former dislike. Even the republic
cans were at last observing him with un-
disguised anxiety. But on the railroad
proposition ne would declare the faith that
was in him. ana deep displcasure among
emo rats and great jubilation among re
rublEcans followed.
Undoubtedly cir. Bryan was an attractive
man tho day he landed. His foreign tour
had not added much to the sum of his val
liable know ledge. for he had gone around
T.. globe. ON jump. taking but a glance
at things. nut his reception everywhere
had been hearty. aud his addresses had
shown his abilities as Q graceful speaker
The people, without regard TO party, were
E.-td tn see him. The demonstration in his
honor Was big thing even for New York.
A distinguished citizen, after favorably I'M
pressing foreigners. was home again, and
everybody was happy.
That was one thing. 1t was much. but
not Il that his overload admirers imagined.
Mr. Bryan SAW clearer and further than
they did. He knew that suppressions and
conc ailments were not only not in his line
but would not answer the ends of the OPP
TurtUuists. There was too much to come
from him to make it safe to embark upon
a course of clever receptions. Time would
he certain TO develop the actual facts as to
his faith about other things as about gov
eminent ownership. and he decided to
lead off with the railroad matter He might
that very evening have committed himself
also to the initiative and referendum, for
his mind then made up, but he re-
served that for second announcement
after the first had been digested.
In the Madison Square Garden last year
Nit Bryan made the choice he made in
1876 ana again in 1900, and will be re-
Quired to make it 50 long as his leadership
OF the democracy continues. That choice
was. is. and will be, between the principles
accepted 10y his school as democratic and
those accepted by the Cleveland school.
What may be called the old-style demo-
Gratis are in the main opposed to Mr. Bryan
unalterably. They could not be brought
to his support by any shift he might make.
And so he will make none He is not for
them, and they not for him. He is
bidding for the progressves in his party
the men who not only are not disturbed
Gratis, but accept the statement as true If
the Cleveland definition of democracy is
used in establishing their status.
