OUR STANDARD BEARER.

The Savannah News refers to the
nomination OF Col. W. j. Bryan for
President as follows:
The Democratic hosts will be led
IN the Presidential campaign by
William Jennings Bryan. II was pref
ty well understood he would be the
standard bearer before the Denver
convention assembled That he is a
remarkable man win be admitted even
by his political enemies. No other
man has ever had such complete con-
troll OF the Democratic party for so
long q time.
"At the close Of the campaign Of
1900 II was said with much satisfac-
tion by a large section Of his party
that he was politically dead. He him
self thought that his political career
waa ended Of ever being candidate
for President again. His hold on the
people. however wasn't broken, and
after eight years we have him again
as Presidential candidate for the
third time.
IT has been twelve years since he
declared on the floor OF Democratic
National convention that the humb-
lest citizen in the land clothed in
righteousness, is stronger than all
the hosts of error He said that In
his cross OF gold speech, the speech
which so enthused the convention that
he was nominated for President. He
was very young man then, and had
many crude ideas. He is older and
wiser now. So different is he that he
is called the New Bryan. jar
But some of the principles he had
then he has now. Away back yonder
he talked about government by in
junction. and the Republican party
laughed at him and sneered, but it
has come to his position on that propo-
sition. In the Chicago platform there
is plank declaring for a modifica.
ton of the use of the writ OF injunc-
ton. II would be stronger If the
President had been permitted to have
mis- way. And there are other things
In the Republican platform that were
stolen from him.
The New Bryan Is far more con.
sentative than was the Boy Orator
OF the Platte, who was nominated in
1886, and far better qualified to All
the Office OF President. He is much
predetermined man and much more
liberal In his views. Then he was
very sure he was right in whatever
position he took. Now he Is willing
TO listen and learn. When he return
ed from his last trip to Europe he
declared himself in favor Of Govern.
ment ownership OF railroads. Nothing
bearing on that subject appears In
the Denver platform And he has
abandoned his position on the silver
question. showing that he is willing
TO admit his mistake.
IL Is being said, even by some
members OF his own party. that he
has no chance OF being elected. These
same men said in 1900 that he was
politically dead. They were mis-
taken then. They may be mistaken
now.
mfr. Bryan's chances OF being elect
ed are good. He y extremely popu-

ful in crowding over the loot bridge, as
there is danger of the bridge going down.

"A monument to the famous Bucktail
regiment was dedicated at Driftwood on
Tuesday of last week. The bronze figure
which surmounts the pedestal is six feet
tall and represents one of the hardy,
straight-shooting men of which the regi-
ment was composed, dressed in the garb
of lumberman. 1t cost $4,000, which
was paid by the state, the people of Cam
eron county contributing to purchase the
handsome granite base. The monument
stands in the center of the town and
marks the place of the rendezvous of the
three companies recruited by General
Kane, the Elk County Rifles, and the
Cameron County Rifles.
Last Thursday, April 3Oth, was day

the fall of the beautiful continued inces-
sanity until late into the night. Down in
in the valleys the depth of snow on Fri
day morning was between four and five
| inches, while on the bills it measured six
! to eight inches. 1t is estimated that fully
foot of snow fell during this period, but
most of it melted as fast as it settled to
the ground. We hear of other SHOWS in
May, but we guess this establishes new
! record for this latitude.

Letter TO A. f. Ledebur,
IiOneStd, Pd.

DEAR SIR:-Two cans of paint look
alike; two paints look alike, when
opened two jobs look alike, so long as
they're new-unless one is scant.
They are far from alike; one is paint
and the other is trash.
The gallon price is not far from alike.
They don't cost alike. One takes 10 gal
Ions to paint house; the other takes 20.
The cost of one job is $50; the other 800
it may be S9O-the job that costs least is
the good one; wears twice as long as the
other.
There are two ways of telling good
paint: by the name; by the number OF
gallons 1t takes for a job-least gallons,
best paint. BY the name Devoe; by least
gallons.
Yours truly,

ROOSEVELT VS.. BROWNsON

10 letter given 10 the press yester-
dsy President Roosevelt chsrscterizss as
"uuseemly and improper" the action of
his former intimate friend, Resr Admiral
Willard II. Rrownson, in resiguing the
Office Of chief OF the Buresu Of Navigation
TO emphasize his opposition to the
principle that a surgeon should be given
positive command over naval vessel, in
this case the hospital ship Relief.
Admiral Rrownson's attitude is arraigned
severely by the President, who takes
advantage Of the opportunity to condemn
in scathing terms those officers of the
navy suspected of having been respon-
sible for recent articles ciiticisiDg the
Navy Departments policy OF warship
construction. No names are mentioned.
Another. letter from the President, some-
what milder 10 tone, was made public
also. 1t is devoted to an explanation of
the reasons for placing a surgeon in
command of a hospital ship. In con-
Guiding the letter, the President directs
that the decision to give the Relief into
supreme charge offs officer of the medi.
cal corps be carried out as a general
policy with reference to all naval hospi-
tai vessels. Both letters are addressed
to the Secretary of the Navy.
