ted States to elect him to the presi-
dency, and twice has he been defeated.
Is he more popular now than he was in
1896, or in 1900? Read the view, pub
lished elsewhere, of Mr.. L. ]. Coppage,
former Virginian, now residing at
Charlottesville, Ind. "The possibility
Of n national Democratic success" says
he, depends on the support of the in
dependent or conservative vote in the
doubtful States of the North or Middle
West. The party has gained no national
election since the war. except by the
aid of large vote from this element. 4"
Very true. Cleveland won in 1892 be-
cause he carried the Solid South, the
Democratic States of the North and the
doubtful States of the West. Bryan
carried some Western States which
Cleveland did not carry, but he lost the
States whose votes counted. and he lost
the Democratic States of the North.
We do not see how it is possible for him
to do better in 1905 AS Mr.. Coppage
again says, with Bryan as the candi-
date and with the doubtful or objection
able things for which he stands in the
platform, the Republican majorities of
1896 and 1900 will be duplicated, and
the Democratic party further dis
Credited
Similar warnings come from all parts
OF the country. Many even of Mr..
Bryan's devoted followers have no hope
of his election; and still the cry is Bry-
an and bust. Very well. If it must be.
let Mr.. Bryan again put his unparallel-
ed popularity to the test-and finish up
the work of destruction which was be-
gun in 1896, and let the party make its
sacrifice in his behalf complete.

WHO is TO BLAME2

The Hon. David F. Bailey must feel
disappointed and vexed by his recent
defeat for Congress. If he had listen
ed to his Republican friends he would
have been saved from the humiliation.
But instead of following their advice he
allowed himself to be lured by Demo
cratic advisers into the false position of
en- independent candidate. No doubt he
was led to believe that he would receive
the solid Democratic vote. Even the
day before the election his Democratic
son-in-law, the Hon. Cloyd Byars, gave
out a statement that the Democratic
vote would be cast about solidly for Mr..
Bailey. No such hope was given as to
the Republican vote. Upon the con-
trary, Republicans from all parts of the
district had warned him that the solid

BRYAN AND BUST.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.

A Northern Democrat, whose name
has been mentioned prominently in con-
nection with the presidential nomina-
ton, recently said to a Virginia Demo
crat that the forthcoming action of the
Denver convention was already "cut
and dried" By this he meant, of course,
that William j. Bryan was already
nominated; and it goes without saying
that the platform will be agreeable to
Mr.. Bryan. There are those who say
that Mr.. Bryan will defer to the wishes
Of the convention, but that is not Mr..
Bryan's political habit In 1900 he gave
notice in advance that he would not ac-
cept the nomination unless the platform
should contain free silver plank, and
all the pleading of the leaders who saw
him in person did not move him from
that position. But no matter what sort
of a platform the Denver convention
may promulgate, if Mr.. Bryan is the
nominee voters will read into it the pet
doctrines of that distinguished gentle
man. A party platform, no matter how
well it may be worded and phrased, is
an inanimate thing; it is the candidate
who gives it life. If Mr.. Bryan is nom
mated, his record will be the platform,
and he could not get away from it If he
would; end he would not if ne could, for
Mr.. Bryan is no recanter.
What of the result? Twice has Mr..

SOME STRIKING LESSONS.


At the special election, held on the
18th of December, 1907, to elect a Con-
gresham from this district as the sue
cessor of Colonel Slemp, some valuable
lessons were taught both aspirants for
Congressional honors and the voters
who constitute the two political parties.
The first lesson taught, was, that no
candidate can expect to win any consid-
cradle part of the vote of his party in
the district while running as an indie
pendent candidate against the regular
nominee of his party. Mr.. Bailey made
the mistake of his life in thinking he
could do so. He was greatly esteemed
by large share of the Republicans of
the Ninth District, and they would
have gladly voted for him if he had
been their regularly nominated candi-
date But party fidelity and loyalty to
principle forbade that true Republicans
should vote for him as an independent
seeking the support of Democrats, and
through their assistance hoping to win.
Another lesson taught by this cleo
ton, is, that no Republican, whether
running as an independent or as the
regular candidate of his party, can gain
the sincere support of any considerable
portion of the Democratic voters. A
very few Democrats, from personal re-
gard and from a belief that he would
make valuable representative, voted
for c. B. Slemp. None of these would
have voted for him if he had been OBJ
posed by Democratic candidate. Near
ly all the votes Mr.. Bailey got were
cast by Democrats. A few of these, no
doubt, were influenced by the same mo-
tives as were those who voted for Mr..
Slemp. But we venture to say that
ninety-nine per cent. of the Democrats
who voted for Bailey did so from an ul-
terror motive. They thought no more
of him than they did of Slemp. Politi-
cally they despised them both. They
thought they could use Mr.. Bailey to
weaken the Republican organization
and bring disorder into the party ranks.
In this, however, they were greatly
mistaken; and the results of the cleo
ton were a keen disappointment to
them, and must have teen a grievous
humiliation to Mr.. Bailey. The Repub-
licans of the district stood almost solid
ly for Slemp; and the machine men
were unable to win for Bailey the sup
port of the better class of Democrats.
These had too much sense and too much
principle to give their sanction to so
foolish scheme as that which was be-
ing worked by Rhea and other parti-
sans.
The Republicans of the Ninth will

duty to select good men as their can
didates and to stand solidly for them
and for the party organization as long
as it is efficient and true. The Demo
Gratis ought to learn that the only way
they can ever hope to win the district is
in square fight, and that any effort to
disrupt and defeat our party through
the use of an independent candidate
will fail. The Republican party is
stronger than it has ever been in the
district and the Democratic party is
weaker. We sincerely regret that Mr..
Bailey allowed himself to be so used and
Inundated even though the results have
been helpful to the cause of Repubi-
canism.

CONFIDENCE NECESSARY,
is HARRlMAN'S COMMENT
Railroad Magnate Says the Country
Is in Good Condition for
Business Advance
ment

BY Assoc'at Press
NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-That such re-
ports were silly was the only COM
ment f.. H. Hartman would make yes
terday when asked about the rumor
which has been current in Wall street
that the dividends on Union Pacific
stock would be cut at the coming meet
ing.
II cannot be expected to forecast the
action of the directors" said Mr.. Har-
riman, regarding dividends. These
rumors are very silly. Times are dull
and people have nothing better to do
than make up rumors."
In other quarters the report was
discredited that there would be any
change in the dividend rate of the
Union Pacific. Those who took the
stand that no change was likely point
ed to the fact that the net earnings
of the road. although somewhat re-
duced recently, are still much in eX-
cess of the amount required to main
tain the 10 per cent dividend.
Discussing general conditions, Mr..
Hartman said: 1.-THE country has a
great deal more ahead of 1t than it
has behind it. All that is needed is
confidence. There are the resources
under the ground and on the ground,
and there are the people to develop
these resources and the disposition to
do so. The restoration of complete
confidence is all that Is needed
