understood the rest is easy.
That Bryan is insaney ambitious may be subject Of
debate but the odds seem to be in the affirmative when
one calmly surveys the field Of inquiry for matter Of
fact when great political party becomes the asset
Of one man it looks dark for that for the party
Human nature has not as yet yielded to the prescrip
ton Of the doctors Of the schools however learned the
marshalng Of words into sentences to promugate lie

Why, are not the SuIivans Hopkins and Haggard S
still in the saddle and riding the front? What they did
before they will do again, for Of TRUTH has not Bryan
scored them without mercy, and moreover is it not true
that political opponent " len uniusty defeated is ever
unforgiving and political general never rightly
adjusted The prophets looking and the faithful be-

of popular fame but there seems be mistake in the
ring Of money to line up and hold the ever shifting poti-
cal rira of the country that under our present methods
Of conducting campaigns actually determine party suprem

leaves Bryan nothing but imperialism" to harp on, and
truly Imperialism seems as gray headed Tariff and
as campaign slogan would scarcely assume the dignity
Of serious consideration.
TheSbaHle ground lies between what we want and
what can get.
Mehodsssemployed to gain success often prove the
source Of defeat Courage hope and enthusiasm are
sentia elements in battle but they cannot always over
come numbers The talk about harmony enemies in the
'front.' and all like catch phrases may please the sanc6ed
brother but alas the sanc6ed find themselves set apart
with the minority after election days' r-"
Ii rs gradually daWnng the minds OF men that when
the general government NEEDLES with the private business
Of the citizen then the general federal government
ps the function Of the state or local government and set
in motion train Of evils that in turn produces clash be-
tween local and federal courts that results in
by Injunction.
The South has produced great statesmen and has few
left and iustLwhy the South must play the part Of the
Tar Bucket" the Democratic wagon now meandering
over the cactus plans Of the West appeals spectacular
and wonderful on the hand as it humaing to the
sons Of JeAel son on the other hand
The Popuss have the matchless Tom Watson Of
Georgia for heirstandard bearer and the Prohbionsts
will nominate Seaburn Wright of Georgia Now let the
Democrats put up Georgia man.
When the Northern element Of the PopuIists and Pro-
hbtionists takes Southern man for their leader what
as the Northern Democrat? There are none so blind as
those thatsswon't seel
