BRYAN ON First Ballot.

Bryan on First Ballot.
The New York Herald, whose pol
litical forecasts are remarkably &C
curate and entirely impartial, esti-
mates that Mr.: Bryan will have 765
votes on.the first ballot at Denver,
or 1i3, more than the two-thirds
needed to nominate. of this num-
Der PIT have already been definitely
instructed to support Mr. Bryan,
and 54S are classified as probably"
for him, these being the representa-
tives of States which haveno yetheld
conventions and of some which have
elected delegates without instruc-
tions. In this list are included the
delegates from New York, who
were elected without instructions.
At the time the New York conven-
ton was held it seemed that the del
egates from that State would be
against BRYAN, but the situation has
materially changed and the leaders
of the New York Democracy have
been frightened into support of the
Nebraskan by the great strength ne
has developed, which he might use
to exclude them from representation
in the convention in the face Of an
attempt to unseat them. bthe yele-
ment of the party that was outrage
ously excluded from the New York
convention.
'The Bryan sentiment in Illinois, "
says The Herald, compelled Mr.,
Sullivan to play fair, and while the
support given way have been some
what unwilling, it was nevertheless
given and will suffice. The result is
that in one day the entire Democra-
tic situation in the United States
changed. Almost every State in the
Union that was wavering began to
trend toward Bryan" With the ex-
ception of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Massachusetts and Minnesota,
all of the States which have as many
as twenty votes in the national icon
vention are counted for Bryan.
Minnesota is, of course, for John
son, but as soon as his. candidacy is
shown to be hopeless, the delegates
are practically certain to go to Bry-
an, who has been extolled by Gov.
johnson on more than one occasion.
Pennsylvania will probably be
against Bryan, but the supporters OF
the Nebraskan have notyet abandon
ed the fight for the delegation.
New Jersey has shown anti-Bryan
tendencies, but, according to The
Herald, as soon as New York breaks
tothe Nebraskan, New Jersey islikely
tofollow. Massachusetts has not yet
acted, but there is strong Bryan
sentiment in that State.
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and
Wisconsin, with an aggregate voting
strength of l56 in the convention,
have instructed for Bryan. New
York, with seventy-eight votes, is
practically certain to support him.
Alabama, Michigan. Mississippi,
Missouri, New York, North Carroll
na, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virgin
ia, each with large representation in
the national convention, may be
reckoned for Bryan, and a troop of
States with smaller votes. The
Charleston Post, from which paper
we clip the above says "Mr, Bryan
might devote himself to his plowing
entirely from now until the date of
the Democratic convention and he
would be called to the head Of the
ticket. It is ridiculous to talk of
anybody else, and the thing for
Democrats to do now is to put in
their time shaping up for the cam
paign to elect Mr.. Bryan President"

SLEMP AND THE CRUMPACKER
BILL.

Hon. c. Bascomb Slemp. Republi-
can candidate for congress in the
Ninth Virginia district, is anxious
to dodge his record upon the Crum-
packer bill. He lodged a vote for
or against the bill, but was paired
in its favor. lad this measure car
ried it would either reduce south
ern representation in congress and
in the electoral college, or force the
south to again place in the hands
OF venal and illiterate class the
ballot which would threaten white
supremacy in many sections of the
south.
Hon. j. Cloyd Byars, his Demo
cratic opponent, called attention to
Mr.. Slemp's record upon the Crum-
packer bill in the joint discussion
at Jonesville Monday.
Mr.. Byars stated his own position
and demanded an expression o. Mr..
Slemp's position
Mr.. Slemp lodged. He could not
explain. His record was against
him. He had paired in favor of cut
ting down southern representation
Mr.. Slemp now refuses to meet Mr..
Byars on the stump in joint discus
sion. Mr.. Slemp evidently believes
{ would be well to keep his record
upon the Crumpacker bill out of
the limelight as much as possible.
But like Banquo's ghost. at will

A FARCE.

If the opinion OF the attorney
general on the new registration law
is correct, it places large discretion
WITH the registrar. He can register
any voter he desires without APP
pearance before him personally. He
can Leave off at his discretion all
those who do not appear before
him. In other words he can regi.r
ter those who will vote for the tick
It he favors regardless OF whether
they appear before him, and at the
same time require every voter of
the opposite party to appear before
him and answer questions prescr, b.
I'd by the statute.
This opens every door to fraud.
1t makes the new registration law
a farce.
But this is not all. The leaders
of the Republican party have ad-
visei all the Republican registrars
that 1t is not necessary for voters
to appear before them, and that in
their discretion they can register
without. This advice carried with
t the suggestion also that the reg
istrar is not required to register un.
less they appear and make appli-
cation.
