Omissi ons in the Platform.

A careful survey of one collection Of
comments upon Mr.. BRYAN's speech of
acceptance at Lincoln-say of the utter
ances Of twenty newspapers, North,
South East and West, and Republican
and Democratic both-suggosts some
very uplifting thoughts,
One finds, for instance, that the Boston
Post declares 1T rings true" whereas
tho Rochester Democrat dad Chronicle
vehomcntly asserts that, at doesn't ring
true That was to have been expected,
however, and need occasion no emotion
of any kind. That's part of the game
like Colonel WETMoRE's assurances to
: the Peerless Gne and Senator JONATHAN
BogGSEs S passionate promises to Taft

very recent insriration. But the Clcve-

beaten tracks and tells us that AMr.
BRYAN in his address says nothing to
arouse antagonism, voices no new de-
mands, and In no way alters the popular
conception of him'-that, while still a
reformer, a aNpropagandist at heart, he is
a less rampant one than the public be-
came familiar with eight and twelve
years ago." There are persons who
might say that he has voiced" no new
demands because in his past utterances
he has covered the whole ground and
that he has in no way altered the popu-
lar conception of him since he has In
no way retracted or disavowed any Of the
principles" free silver, Government
ownership, initiative and referendum,
&c., C., &c., which constitute the back
ground Of his present attitude and cast
their shadow over his campaign. Z
This brings usl neatly around to the
real burden Of the chorus, the aocla-
nation OF certain Southern newspapers
in regard to BRYAN's declaration that
the Democratic candidate Is bound as
much by the platforms silences as by
its printed text. Upon this they are
eostatically agreed. The South Is now
relieved Of all it's apprehensions regard
ing 10 to 1 silver. the emasculation Of
the Supreme Court, Government owner
ship, the race question and all the rest Of
the above mentioned issues. The Augusta
Chronicle says: "This means, II It means
anything, that in this campaign Mr..
BRYAN stands only for those things which
are set forth in his party's platform,
and in this opinion the Norfolk Ldnd-
mark, the Houston Post and other esti-
mable Southern organs impetuously Co
incide. It is quite true that 'in this
campaign Mr.. BRYAN puts behind him
all the old denominations and ambles,
sweetly as you please, In his nice new
Roosevelt harness. A moro tractable
aspirant we have seldom seen.
What. however, did he mean by the
omissions which bind the candidate as
much as do the explicit definitions. unless
he meant that the moment he ceased to
be a nominee and became a President
the old rejected and suppressed issues
would be taken out of his abundant prop
erty room and put into active and ag-
gressive commission? And what will our
good Southern friends, representing great
commercial cities such as Baltimore,
Norfolk, Richmond, Charleston, Calves
ton and New Orleans, think Of the melo-
dramatic transformation when 1t Is pa
raded before their once confiding eyes?
The Democratic organs Of the North
are mostly irresponsible, but 1t seems
to us that the Southern newspapers will
be wise to ponder Mr.. BRYAN and his
easygoing attitude toward the injunc-
tions that were passed over.
