other was the collecting of 2 per cent

Its Transparency Obvious

The Journal commends the follow
ing, from the DanVille Register, as
the first and only expression from
any Virginia contemporary that cor
rectly sizes up the situation:
eve are becoming daily more and
more convinced that the insidious
effort TO create friction between the
ardent supporters of Mr.. Bryan and
the friends of Senator Daniel in the
coming Democratic State Convention
is an attempt on the part of the foes
of Mr.. Bryan To defeat resolution
instructing this States delegation to
Denver for the Nebraskan. Those who
kave made this sly attempt, though
posing rs friends of the Senator, are
endeavoring TO use him as cudgeI
with which TO strike Mr.. Bryan a
blow that may injure his pros
poets.
Mr.. Bryan's real friends desire to
see Senator Daniel, distinguished
son, go as an instructed deleagte TO
Denver, TO register the obvious will
of the rank and file of the party.
Senator Daniels real friends will
do him real harm if they continue to
insist that he go to Denrver free to
MISREPRESENT Virginia senti-
ment, as he would do, if he chose TO
urge his individual views.
<5enStsr Daniel has had his day in
court. He has had as much uppor-
unity as any man to convince his
fellow Virginians that they are mis-
taken in clinging to Mr.. Bryan,
though the only occasion he has
chosen to exercise that privilege was
in an undignilied colloquy which
he piecipitated with Mr. Bryan in a
W aN:ington hotel lobby. Virginia

cided the matter for themselves, and
