THE RESULT IS DOUBTFUL.

IS DOUBTFUL.
 We take the following editorial from the Washington Post, paper. while claiming to be Independent, did all in its power to prevent the nomination of Bryan as the demo cratic candidate for president:
 The newspaper columns are filled with interviews of prominent gentle men in various waits of fife in which the approaching triumph of Taft or the coming victory of Bryan is set forth, in accordance with the political professions of hose interviewed. Sincere in their expressed views no doubt the majority are, and if results are the opposite Os those stated as sure to arrive. it Is an evidence of a close and uncertain conflict as much as it is of the optimism of the par tisan who sees in the future that which he desires 70 happen.
 "As it was two months ago. so 1t is today, so far as the powerful factors which make up the grand total are concerned The Republican party is torn with dissension in nearly eyers important State upon State issues and to great degree it's efficiency m the fight for national control is suffer ing from these State troubles Re publican correspondents tell of seri- ous losses to Hughes in New York. of great antagonism to Deneen in Hi nois. of the divisiors that threaten to lose West Virginia to the party state ticket, of the defections in Ohio, and the bolting of state nominees by Re publican journals, of party quarrels in Iowa of a desperate nature, of the schism in Wisconsin, of fears of the state ticket in Indiana, of party strife in many important congressional dis tricts; and yet the same correspond ents in each and every state will sum up that these things will not affect the Republican nat'lnal ticket.
 Pleasing to their readers, no doubt. that conclusion; gratifying to the editors and proprietors. and com forting to the na ional candidates; soothing and luliing, charming, en- trancing, delightfully."- grateful to the minds of the Republican national committeeman But is it true? Does all this stabbing clubbing, spearing. and roasting of candidatesupontheRe- publican tickets by Republicans in all these important states carry no po- tent of danger to their national ticket?
 Are the fepuplicdn ma1OTltieS So great, their national organization so strong, that defections can exist among their voters in every county and district and yet no damage be done to the vote of the electoral col lege? If such be tEe case this year. it will show a reversal of all prece- dents established in prior campaigns.

stretched a canopy Of white muslin

crossed over the melon hill somewhat

sewed to the corners Of the muslin

fact is confessed in the annual report

This society is doing It's utmost To in

than to bury their dead. Owing to its

bodies were consumed.
