Considerable Difference.


One of the Denver correspondents,

and the Chicago platform w:ls mot
wide" But it is Wide-as wide as the
difference between protection and tar
if for revenue, between sound cur
rency and greenbackism, between
conservative progress and radicalism.
If the painted face of jefferson,
which locked down upon the Denver
convention. could have expressed emo
ton, it must have worn a worried look
and an expression Of establishment at
the antics and sayings and doings Of
the party claiming him as its founder
and quoting his maNims in its plat

cisese the Republican party for extrav-
aganca, and it lays out a scheme Of

The Republican platform prcnollnccs

The Democratic platform goes much
farther than the Republican in the
matter of regulating and restricting
the issue of injunction writs, and il
goes much farther in extending con-

The Republican platform proposes

Campaign Fund Publicity.

Performance speaks louder than
promise. The action of George r.
Sheldon of New York, the newly
elected treasurer of the Republican
national committee, in declaring that
he will act under the New York law
requiring reports of campaign re-
ceipts and expenditures is much more
eloquent than the plank in the Den
yer platform calling for campaign
fund publicity. If the Democrats eX-
pected to find an tissue" in the matter
of campaign fund publicity they have
found their guns spiked very early in
the battle.
subject that Mr. Taft performed the
supposedly impossible feat of making
Mr.. Bryan to shut up like clam a
few months ago. Mr. Bryan with
great cunning wrote to Mt. Taft that
he thought the "two leading candi-
dates" ought to help push the cam
paign expenditures publicity bill then
before the House of Representatives
Mr.. Taft instantly replied to Mr.
Bryan enclosing a copy Of a message
he had long before sent to the chair
man Of the committee in charge of the
sage. Mr.. Taft had done this with
out any noise or posing; and the
revelation SO completely cut the ground
from under Mr.. Bryan's feet that
nothing more has been heard from
him on the subject. The bill, by the
way, was passed by the Republican
majority, the Democratic minority in
the House voting against it; but it
failed to get through the Senate
against the Democratic opposition
Then when the Republican conven-
ton at Chicago failed to put a cam
paign fund publicity plank into it's
platform, Bryan thought he saw
another glorious opportunity and Or
for. Now comes Treasurer Sheldon
Of the Republican national committee
with the declaration that there is to
be complete publicity-publicity as to
who contributes and publicity as to
expenditure. Judge Taft thus early
shows his quality. He is not satisfied
with mere talk. He acts. What
viii Bryan and his treasurer do? BY
the way, Bryan has not yet found
time to tell the public how the $4,000
was spent which was sent to Ne
braska by the predatory corporation
managers of New York two years
ago to help along his campaign for
the Senate. When he gives the par
tlcIlars of that deal his Denver pub
licity plank will begin to mean some

ness of his life nor the power of his

Helms Modest Tribute,


One of the speakers at Denver sec
onding Bryans nomination was made
by Congressman Heflin of Alabama
Now Congressman HeGin is one OF the
great men of his party, owing his dis
tinctlon chiefly to his gun play on a
niger IN a Washington street car last
wish that somebody had exploded a
bomb under the table when President
Roosevelt and Booker Washington
were dining together. Yet with these
claims Cor fame, his fellow delegates
used him shamefully when he arose in
their midst in the early hours of last
Friday morning to make the great ora
torical effort of his life. The delegates
wanted to get to bed. They were tired
of impassioned eloquence, even impas-
stoned eloquence with the Peerless One
as its theme, and so they Kissed and
hooted Helm and finally forced him
to cut short his speech amid great con-
fusion. But they did not know what
they We're missing. Probably they
found out when they read the Denver
newspapers the next day and saw the
classic speech they had deprived them
selves of hearing. Here is a sample
tribute TO Bryan which Bryans per
sonally conducted convention rudely
refused to listen to:
"As patriot no man ever had deep
cr or more exalted love for his cOun-
try than has this Peerless Democrat
for the American Republic. AS a
teacher of civics the world has not
seen his equal since jefferson Whole
and spoke. AS a defender of justice
he ranks among the worlds bravcst
and best. AS an advocate of popular
rights he is the ablest and most fear
less of American citizens. AS a
statesman he resembles a tower seen
afar off and under clear sky rising
in grandeur and sublimity at every
step of approach. AS an orator
Cicero would have been delighted
with his diction, Demosthenes would
have been charmed with his forceful
sentences, David O'Connell would
have applauded his fervid eloquence
inspired by his powerful, convincing
logic.
He is to the tariff robbed and trust
ridden masses of America what Mira
beau was to the downtrodden of
France. He is to the enemies of equal
rights in this country what Daniel
O'Connell was to the oppressors of
Ireland. He has given expression to
more great thoughts and lead more
people to higher ground than any 9TH
er American. He is the intellectual
giant of the United States. He is less
misunderstood and more misrepre-
scented than any other statesman in
our history. So frank and fair and
fearless that he cannot be misunder
stood--so true is he and SO uncom-
promisingly just that his political OPP
ponents and the great trust controlled
dailies dare not play fair or fight him
in the oren. Statesmen, world diplo-
mats and kings have paid him tribute.
At the international Peace Conference
in London five hundred Representatives
from twenty-SiX of the greatest ma
lions on the globe in council assembled

come international law. If I could
