Rrvan has opposed them. They had
o. severe attack in 1896, violent
attack in 1900 But now the out
look is that, this year, the scare
will be the genuine article; that it
will give the political doctors night

ranubIicans declare that the scare

nightmare,
Mr., Bryan has undoubtedly made
o GOOD getaway. His speeches have
bonn thus far characterized by a con-
eoryatism which stands in marked
contract with the Grown of gold"
oratory of 1896. He is encountered
with comparatively few dissensions
within the democratic ranks, for he
has learned through dear experience
the value of Cancellation. All of
this. added to his unquestioned per-
sonal magnetism, has helped to pave
the way for the September scare of
republicans.
But the republicans are far more
concerned with the dissensions with
in their own ranks. In states which
probably hold the balance of power
factions of the party are at war. The
fight over Hughes IN New York has
in it a large element of peril to the
national ticket, as is attested by the
attention which it has received from
President Roosevelt, Taft and Hitch
cock. Nor is it to be assumed that
the decision in favor of Hughes
nomination ends the trouble.
Condition in New York.
The republican leaders in New
York do not like Hughes, and they
know that Roosevelt does not like
him overmuch. The presidents de-
cision in his favor was largely by
way of making a virtue of apparent
necessity and Woodruff, Parson and
state leaders generally appeared to
fail into line for the sake of political
effect. But the organization sup
port of Hughes can never be more
than half-hearted
All of the leading politicians, in
clUding the president, have found
Hughes not only unmanageable, but
uhapproachable. They have no sym
paJhy with his policy of ignoring
them and they find it hard even to
accept him, let alone shout for him.

but their lack of enthusiasm helped
