Eo revolution" in sight.

The head of Mr. Bryan's literary bu-
reau says: A political revolution is
at hand. All signs point TO change
of party control of the government in
1905" If there are any such slgr:s that
parsonage ought TO point them out Mr..
Bryan has not yet mentioned any Of
them, and he would be likely TO see
them if anybody could. And if he saw
any of them he would quickly tell his
countrymen about them.
One of the indications Of u revolu-
ton in the presidency comes in the con-
gressional elections two years ahead.
This premonitory symptom always
comes. When the Republicans carried
the House of Representatives in 1888
the victory of 1860 in the presidency
was foreshadowed. In 1874 the Demo
Gratis won the House of Representatives
for the first time since 1856, and the
drop in the Republican vote for the
presidency two years later was SO steep
that Hayes obtained a majority of only
one vote in the electoral college. The
Republican setback in the congressional
canvass of 1882 presaged the victory for
Cleveland two years later, just as the
cutting of the Democratic margin in the
House close to the vanishing point IN
1856 foretold the victory which Harrison
won in 1888. The Republican reverse
in the congressional canvass OF 1890
and the Democratic overthrow In like
canvass in 1894 presaged a big defeat

tom of coming Republican disaster. In
