4 WORD A6OUT THE LEADING
EVENTS OF THE WEEK.


Bryan and Kern Nominated.
On the first ballot, William Jennings
Bryan was nominated for the presidency
at the Democratic national convention at
Denver last week. The ballot was not
reached until $40 Friday morning. In
order to avert the superstition, the con-
vention clock was set back to make it ap-
pear that the nomination was made
Thursday.
The ballot stood as follows:-Bryan,
1872 y; Gray, 591a; johnson, 46; absent OF
not voting. 8. Seven of Vermont's dele
gates voted for Bryan, while the eighth
was recorded as not voting. John Worth
Kern of Indiana was nominated for sec
ond place by reclamation.
The feature of the convention was the
great demonstration for Bryan that came
With the mention of his name by the
chairman. 1t lasted one hour and 26
minutes, or nearly twice as long as the
Chicago demonstration for Roosevelt.
Another great uproar lasting nearly an
hour greeted his name when it was pre-
sented for nomination.
The Democratic platform denounces
Republican extravaganza and increase in
number of office holders; criticises the ar
bitrary rule of the speaker OF the House;
d1ltRcS but lulSuSe VI patronage Oy tnC
president to further his chosen successor; /;
demands publicity of campaign contribu-
tions; claims the right tc reduce the
tariff according TO Democratic precepts !;
proposes remedies for controlling corpor-
ations and curbing trusts; favors rail-
road regulation; suggests methods of
currency reform, including postal savings
banks; denies the existence of any 'twi-
light zone'' between federal and state au-
thority; demands a modification in the
injunction laws; asks for popular election
of senator's; opposes Asiatic immigration;
makes the usual declarations respecting
the civil service, navy, pensions, etc.
Hobson's attempt to get declaration for
a big navy failed.
Mr.. Bryan remained at his home at
Lincoln, Neb. He heard by telephone
the speech that nominated him at Dem
yer. Many of the eastern delegations
visited him en- route.
Mr.. Bryan stated that this was the last
time he should run for the presidency,
whether elected or not.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, announces
that he will support Bryan as the Demo-
Gratis did more than the Republicans for
organized labor in their platform.
The national committee met at Mr..
Bryan's home Tuesday, Mr.. Kern also
being present, and discussed campaign
plans. 1t was voted to leave the choice
of campaign manager to a subcommittee
of eleven. John H. Atwood of Nebraska
is the favorite. 1t was also decreed that
all campaign contributions shall be made
public, also a list of campaign expendi-
lures. No contributions of more than
SO, 900 will be accepted.

Be so compactly pressed,
They'll ridge themselves on China's face
And road map OF our town there trace.

Should the Governor Marry
Rnlf{,aore american

OutttlDTC dNttTtCuNs
The Beair Debating Society has either greatly
clarified or else vastly complicated one of the
problems that confronts the Maryland Cover
nor. 1t is not certain just yet which of these
two different results has been accomplished.
The decision of the jury in the case of mot
guilty. is one of those indefinite deliverances
which may still leave the Governor undecided
as to either his plain duty or his manifest des-
tiny. The Governor himself seems to have put
in some considerable time without having reach
ed conclusion. or at least without having ar
rived at matrimonial conclusion. Some of the
suggestions thrown out during the discussion at
Belair may make the situation-the matrimo-
than It has hitherto appeared. On the other
hand, those upholding the negative view-the
view that the Governor can gracefully sidestep
the social functions by pressing into service the
wife or the wives of his friends, and that an I'M
married Governor is more likely to be free from
entangling alliances may impress him and brace
him in the stand of attitude which he has thus
far maintained.
The mistake in the debate at Belair-if we may
be pardoned for suggesting twas in bringing
out a full expression of feminine opinion upon
the subject We are told that there were many
ladies present. and that very evidently their
sympathies were with the affirmative side of the
Question-that is to say, they seemed, by the
way they timed their applause, to hold to the
view that the most dignifed thing for the Gov
ernor to do is to get married. But how interest
49, ,--s-rs-s.--s - $500 n1N9 DsS y
If number Of the ladies had stated the reasons
of their view. The Governor might thus have
been made to see the error of his persistently
single conditioned way. He might thus have
been redeemed. AS it is, the problem has, per-
haps, been either much clarified or else left in a
more complicated condition. If the jury was
uncertain, it is not likely the Governor will be
clear as to whether he has been helped or him
dered in working his way to light on the sub
ject. But if the ladies who were present had
only been impressed into the debate-well, why
not have it over again and settle the question
finally and settle it right?
