assembled today and from now on the
political pot promises to boil and boil
pretty hard at that Every vote cast
will be a straw, every speech made a
token of submission to some one of
the numerous claimants for the favor
of the coming convention.
1t is interesting to note that the
democrats in making up their repre-
sentation for their convention at DEN
yer gave the territories the usual six
votes regardless Of whether 1t was one
of the two at home or some one of
those in the outer regions of our coun-
try. and needless of the action of the
republican committee.
But the democrats, unlike our re-
publican party, are much in the same
shape as we have been in the past,
there is but one man named or
thought of when the democratic nom
nation is mentioned and that is
BRYAN. so it matters but little how
many come, the more the merrier for
the opponents Of the gentleman from
Lincoln are far in the minority and
nothing short of death can keep him
from nomination or, as | overheard
one man say the other night in one of
the hotels, nothing short of death
will stop him trying, either"
There is a very curious phase OF
this Bryan business, too; and that's
the fact that a large majority of the
old-ume southern democrats, es-
pecially among the congressman and
some Of the senator's. are very out
spoken in their opposition to his nom
nation,
Old-time democrats like Senator
Daniels, of Virginia, scout his pretcn-
tions and roast him on every possible
occasion. And yet they are not able
to mention a single man in the party
who could get twenty-five votes in
their convention against Bryan.
When Bryan was here recently he
and Senator Daniels met in the cor
ridor of the Willard hotel accidentally
and in such way that they simply,
for common decency, couldn't refuse
to speak
Daniels took a shot at Bryan and
before they had spoken three minute"
he had challenged the Nebraskans
democracy and Bryan with consider
able and very conlhehdaple sen re-
traint, simply SAID ON, we'll MF'
Daniels, If the quality OF my uein-
ocracy is to be discussed, l may as
well not stop to hear it," and passed
into the elevator he was ABOUT TO en-
ter when they met.
But, nevertheless, Bryan Is tle only
choice they nave ana with al the lee!-
ing against him in such sources ne Is

people, just how many the coming
election VIII doubtless determine
Not long ago a Knot OF men were
talking politics In the wizard Ioppy
and some one said to democrat IN
the crowd who was not at all IN love
with Bryan We'll there's one thlnS
sure, he's certainly tremendously pop
