Our advices from Washington last
night were encouraging as regards
the often advocated stone craving

was an ante-bellum possibility, and
there can be no doubt that had the
civil war and its aftermath of recon

severely injJre her spine.

Bryan and the
Ohio Democrats.

The endorsement of Mr.. Bryan yes
terday by the state committee of the
Ohio democracy was significant
While it may mean that Hon. Judson
Harmon will be a strong candidate for
the second place on the Democratic
ticket next fall, II certainly means
that Mr.. Harmon is not a serious OBJ
stacle in the path of the great ma
jority of the party, who look on Bryan
as the wOrthiest man in the party to
receive the highest Office in the gift
of any people.
The action of the Ohio committee
is the stronger, not weaker, because
of the other action taken-the Rroyis-
ion that in selecting delegates to the
state convention, every democrat may
signify on his ballot, as a guide for
the state convention. his personal
preference for the presidential nomi-
nation
1t might be argued that, in these
two actions, the Ohio state committee
paid Mr.. Bryan a hollow compliment.
But this is unreasonable to assume
hudson Harmon is too big a figure,
too strong a man, for his fellow demo-
Gratis in his own state to thus weaken
his candidacy when he has no other
Ohioan in the race against him. In
the light OF practical politics, the
meeting of the Ohio committee can
mean only that Bryan Is the deliberate
choice of the Ohio democrats for
president of the United States.
That the committee passed a rule
10 facilitate every democrat in Ohio
expressing his personal preference,
shows only good democracy-the kind
of democracy that is in every real
primary, whether it be a direct nom
mating primary or an instruction pri-
mary. And that democrats such as
that primary order proves the Ohio
democrats to be. should, with a ia
vorite son" before them give their
endorsement to Bryan, shows most
conclUsively what the sentiment of
all true democrats is the country over.

recent assertions that he has discov-

bilities of animal breeding,
