Democracy is United on both
Platform and Candidates.

We have good ticket and we
have good platform.
If we get out and work we can
win.
Democracy has been beaten so
often that many of us accept defeat
as matter of course.
A man going into battle having
small hopes of victory,will be beat
en-. That general who looks first
to protecting his line OF retreat is a
general who uses lines of retreat.
W.. Bryan belongs to no section.
Mr.. Bryan commands the admira-
ton of every patriotic citizen in the
United States, no matter whether
he is Democrat, Republican or
Populist.
Mr.. Bryan advocated theories in
1896 which were denounced as an
arebistic by Mark Hanna's horde of
privileged followers, and to Demo.
Gratis they seemed radical.
Many of the things which Bryan
advocated then are now written in
the law books of the nation. If
courage to advocate what he be-
lieves to be right is radicalism. then
Mr.. Bryan is radical, but it is this
radicalism that makes for the glory
of nation.
Mr.. Kern of Indiana, is man of
unblemished personal reputation.
and he will have behind him the
Democracy of his state. Indiana
has been a state of great Democrats.
1t gave us Blue Jeans Williams.
Hendricks. Mcdonald, Tupie, who
went down to defeat, but not dis
grace,
The Democrats of Tennesse and
Kentucky give as hostage to Bryan
and Kern the splendid tradition of
the old party in these states, and
will vindicate the Democratic prin-
eiples by rolling out in November
an old,time Democratic majority.
Hon. W. ]. Crawford, the pub
Usher of this paper, wired from
Denver last night this message
democracy is united on both
platform and candidates.
So then let US reform the old
lines and go forth confident that
we will win.
Let us trust in the Lord, and in
one another and at the end there
will be victory Commercial APP

WRONG WAY RIGHT IN NEBRASKA.

The Supreme court of Nebraska has confirmed the right of a woman to back off street car if she wants to, and has given a woman whb did back off damages for injuries which resulted from the performance.
 We don't know how generally the right of woman to. back of street car has got itself established in the courts, but the practice of doing it is general enough. It Is explained, we be- l!eve, by the fact that it is more con- veniert for @ woman to get off a car in what men call the wrong way than in what men call the right way Their left hands and arms are often, or us- ually, full of babies or bundles. and they don't see any need of transfer ring the babies and bundles to theil right hands and arms when they get ready to get of. Their theory is that the cars should stop long enough to let them get off in any way that is the most convenient for them, and there is something in that theory. They don't see any reason why they should irni- tate men in everything, or anything, and there is something in that too. Sc they will congratulate the Nebraska woman who has stuck up for one her rights and praise the judge ua justified her in so sticking up.

 The country is morally sound, said Governor Hughes in his Chicago speech yesterday. That seasoned platitude has nobly served the need of every equili- brist now walking upon the political tight ropes that stretch from so many States of the Union to the portico Of the White House. The country is nor ally sound, and yet the way to get rid of abuses is to attack them directly by prescription and the adequate punish ment of offenders. Thus, you see the speaker falls neither into the turbul- ence of Rooseveltian radicalism upon the one side, nor into the black abyss of Harrimanian reaction upon the oth- CT. Will no shameless malefactor of prodigious wealth have the hardihood to get up and speak good word for vice? The contrast would be refresh ing. however much his wicked senti- ments might be deplored

4 LARGE IDEA.

That Interstate club theory may not pan out in practice quite as it's en- thusiastic promoters now expect Il will, but it looks good There will be room enough for the club to turn around in It has acquired 21,000 acres of land in the Tennessee moun- tains, near Chattanooga, and will build an immense clubhouse, from the dome of which a view may be had of nine States. The object of the club, 1t IS said, IS to allay sectional feeling which exists at the present time or which may arise in future, and "to merge the United States in a social unit" It Is said that three thousand members are already enrolled, includ- ing many of the most prominent men in the country, and it is said to be the hope of the founders to increase the membership to 100000.
 It is not surprising that many pub lie men, including the most public man, President Roosevelt, are in fa- vor of this scheme It has great prob abilities and still greater possibilities A club of 100000 members from many or all the States would be a powerful body and might be very useful one.
