Those anti-Rryan papers, which for
some reason insist in calling them
selves Democratic are having a hard
time trying to explain their position to
their readers. The New York Sun,
which is so thoroughly imbued with
unreasoning hatred Of Mr.. Bryan, finds
no difficulty in deciding who it will
oppose, but it has a great deal of trou-
BILE in deciding who to support In
view of the Suns record, it ought to
he comparatively easy task. In 1854
Benjamin F. Butler wanted the Demo-
cratic nomination for President, but
had no chance unless he could coerce
the party. He had himself nominated
as the candidate of the Greenback
party, with the idea that the Demo-
cratic party would be compelled to ac-
cept him or go to defeat because of
the number Of votes that he would
take away from the party. The Demo
cratic party nominated Grover Cleve-
land. Cleveland was elected. Butler
received less than 100000 votes in the
whole country. The New York Sun
supported Butler. Mr. Hearst occu-
PIES about the same position to the
Democratic party now that Butler did
in 1884. Perhaps the New York Sun
will find it possible to support Mr..
Hearst's Independent League.
The New York Times and the
Brooklyn Eagle will support Mr.. Taft,
hut strange to say. the New York
World is in serious dilemma It ad-
mits that there are good things in the
Democratic platform. and seems to
think that Bryan is not as bad as he
used to be. It has already printed a
poll Of labor votes which showed s3
for Bryan, for Taft, II for Debs, and
16 noncommittal It Is to be hoped
that the World" will not finally decide
to support Bryan.

John Mitchell, the great labor lead

John Mitchell, the great labor leader
would have been nominated for vice
president on the Democratic ticket at
Denver and would have been Bryan's
running mate had he allowed his name
to go before the convention. The Ala
bama, Illinois and number of the
other state delegations were very anx-
1ous to put him in nomination for the
second highest office in the land. but
he would not listen to it himself. In
fact had he allowed the use Of his
name there would have been little it
any opposition to his nomination. He
is a devout Catholic. having been con-
verted to the true faith by his fer
vent wife and received into the church
about a year ago.

1t Is remarkable that most Of the
speeches delivered over the fact of the
unveiling of the monument to General
Anthony Wayne at Valley Forge and
most of the articles on his career in
the press, overlooked the circumstance
of his nativity. says the Catholic STAN
dard and Times Mad Anthony. as he
was called from his superhuman daring
and determination in war. was the son
of an Irishman, who came over from
the old country In the year 1922 and
settled down in Chester county, in this
state, and there Anthony was born.
Governor Pennypacker, who is great on
pedigree and antiquarian lore, seems
tc have been oblivious Of this fact
when delivering the ceremonial speech
possibly because he was still runin-
ating on the mystery Of the Fuegers'
disappearance from history or the
contents Of the missing sibylline books.
The cases of Wayne and the Brothers
Sullivan are strikingly similar. When
men were needed for some critical SER
vice. whatever ability, self sacrifice
and unfaltertng determination to do or
die were the elementary requisites for
success, they were often found amone

British tyranny and knew what Amer.

some danger in it is reached, while
others want to make it sort Of part
nership which ought to be as easily
broken as it is started. They are ad-
vocates for the leasehold marriage, or,
in other words, for free love-"
From some fake philosophy some
people. the preacher observed, were
regarding marriage as a mere social
contract, which ought by a mutual
arrangement to be easily dissolved.
If marriage were nothing more than
social or civil contract he saw no
reason why it should not be dissolved,
like any other business transaction
But was it? Was not marriage some
thing much higher, more intimate, a
natural contract to start with and 4
supernatural contract by the law Of
Christi" The very terms upon which
the parties pledge themselves at the
altar provided beyond question that
matrimony was something divine
which God had set up for his own
purposes.
so clear was this" Father vaug-
han averred, that if any bride and
bridegroom were to substitute for the
terms "till death do us part" some
phrase as till we make other ar
rangements,'' or till we come to grow
tired of each other" or "till we wish
for some alliance" a marriage would
be regarded by every Christian man
as no real marriage at all. It would
be a sort of blasphemous concubinage,
and they would know it.
Referring to a question which had
been very recently put to him as to
whether there were any circumstances
which made perfectly tight for man
and wife to seek legal separation, but
the marriage tie still held them. They
could not enter into another marriage.
1T cannot be- he said, because Christ
cannot blow hot and cold and CONTRA
dict Himself in the same breath"
There is no greater plague upon
this earth today" Father Vaughan de-
clared, than the way in which people
are changing matrimony. God made
1t holy alliance in which men and
women should come together and sup
ply each others deficiencies, so that
they might develop patience and exer-
cises Of virtue and of noble life. But
they who live for the riot of sense and
for the pleasure of the hour, and tr
crafty their passions. of course will
not listen to God.
when we hear Of wives today say
ing that they refuse altogether the
privilege Of motherhood because they
cannot be bored with the nursery, be-
cause their fiat is too small or because
they are not strong enough to bear
what they don't like; when wives
speak thus openly and boastingly in
their boudoirs, in their drawing rooms,
and in the public parks it is time to
read the riot act. For they are boast
ingly profaning the laws Of God, and
desecrating their sacred state Of life"

THE RESULT AT DENVER.

We congratulate Mr. Bryan on tho
| result Of the Denver convention. 1t
was great convention. The ticket
named was strong one and the plat
form vigorous. straightforward an.
nouncement of Democratic principles.
Primarily. the result ce that conven-
tion is due to the strength OF Demo-
cratic principles, but yet there Is con-
nected with it much Of personal VIC
tory for Mr.. Bryan.
True Democrats should rejoice be-
cause Democratic principles triumphed
ard because the will of the people pre-
vailed over the schemes of political
bosses. A political party which has
not the courage to truly represent the
people for whom 1t processes to stand,
should cease to exist. A political lead
er who places mere availability, mere
success in getting into office above
principle and above his duty to those
who put him in Office, should have no
place in political life. 1t may have
been somewhat ungracious and some
what lacking In pride of locality for
The Irish Standard to advocate the
nomination OF Mr.. Bryan, but it was
right. 1t was logical. and politically
honest to do so, and we are content.
No Democratic convention in thirty
years did its work so we'll as the Den.
yer convention. Even the few techni-
cal mistakes that were made counted
for honesty and straight dealing. The
work of the Denver convention proved
that in addition to being a populan and
powerful leader Of the masses. Mr..
Bryan has become a tactful and able
political leader. Even the happenings
which appeared to the superficial to
be mistakes, are proving now to be
most fortuitous. For instance, II
seemed to many that Mr.. Bryan's op-
ponents In the presidential race should
have withdrawn and allowed a unani
nous nomination. 1t is apparent to
most everyone now that it was better
for all concerned that they should stay
In the race and thus indicate definitely
the real opposition to Mr.. Bryan.
| In view Of the vote on that solitary
ballot. no man who comedies the right
OF the majority to rule can deny Mr.,
bryans right and duty Of leadership
and none except those who place an
inordinate estimate on their own opin-
ions can do otherwise than submit
quietly and gracefully. 1t may be that
there are still a few who think the
Democratic party ought to come to
them. If there are such. we bid them
last farewell and we congratulate
Mr. Bryan upon his triumphant and
undisputed leadership Of a united
party.
