/ In Philadelphia the wreck OF q
democratic organization, IN control
Of Donnelly and Ryan, desired TO
control the delegates to the Denver
convention. The noise Of tie Bry-
antics here made them believe that
it. was necessary TO their purposes to
declare in favor Of Bryan, and this
vas accordingly done. There were
printed upon the primary ballot
after the name Of each candidate for
national delepIte the words, "Fayors
the nomination Of William j. Bry-
an. .
There is no particle Of doubt that
every one Of the twelve delegates
from Philadelphia is iegally and NOR.
ally bound to vote for Bryan.
There is more involved in the
fight over the control IF the demo
cratic national delegates, however,
han the mere question Of Organism.
# is unquestionably true that many
Of the advocates Of Bryan are sincere
believers in his strength and conf
dent that he is the strongest candi-
date the democrats could name, but
among this class, as well as among
some OF those who are for Bryan as
means to an end the feeling is strong
that the time has come TO unhOrse
Colonel Gutfcy and wipe out the
present control Of the s0-called demo-
cratic organization in Philadelphia.
The result Of the primary elections
shows that a great majority OF the
democrats who took the trouble TO
vote favored the nomination Of Bry-
an and thus.openly opposed.what was
well known to be the policy Of Colonel
GuiIey and the friends he has always
been able to count upon for sup
port. *--Philadelphia Record

The mouth piece OF the big four
seems to be somewhat worried over
the enthusiasm OF the democrats, OF
this county. The big joss evidently
expected thai the democratic party
would be rent IN twain over the local
option plank; and to see the plank
adopted without a dissenting vote
must have been most humiliating.
Others fondly imagined that the Nor.
mon plank would cause an eruption
and to see but two votes against the
plank caused the spirits of some to
sink about ten degrees below zero.
Disappointments are hard to benr it
IS true, and the big four viii have 10
look for consolation elsewhere.

THE PARTY OF PROMISES.

The republican party promises all
things to all men just before eleo.
tion. This happy condition is pos.
slble from the fact that there are
many factions In the party, all In
command OF the situation, in a
n. easure. They can command the
full field of promises, good till after
election.
Roosevelt promises tariff reform
and the Aldrich crowd In the senate
promises protection to the trusts.
The labor men are promised the
right to organize and exemption
from inlunctions while the employ
ers are promised protection against
strikes by Cannon and his crowd.
The farmers are promised reform
that will give them cheap machinery
while the machinery trust is prom.
ised protection that will enable 1t to
continue to sell cheaper abroad than
ut home. The lumber trust is prom.
tsed protection against importations
and the protection OF the forest serv-
Toe against competition ut home.
The consumer of lumber Is consoled
by the beautiful theory of forestra.
ton. The consumer Is not supposed
to observe the inconsistency of the
forest policy Of protection aud the
prohibitise taritr, Pineaot and the
other forestry theorists are promised
as heroes to the consumer who paws
two prices for timber products.
That Is rs cheap as republican fame
generally comes TO the humble olti-
zen.
The Aldrich hill was promised
with the hope that the voters would
not see the niger In the wood pile.
4 mistake was made in the measure
OF intelligence OF the voters when
this bill was promised IL Is now too
late tn get up another financial de.
fusion. IL would be easy to give US
a real currency reform but such re.
form would conflict with the Wall
street schemes. Panic legislation is
still promised, to appease the voters

ure the mass Of barbed fiction that

The gentle New York curraller OF
news bad read In many newspapers
and magazines that Mr.. Bryan's rev.
enue from his lectures and speeches
and writings mounted to a sum tluct-
uating between $685. and $75, 900
and he very pleasantly suggested that
II such reports gained Roadway, the
Nebraskan would find it difficult to
disassociate himself from the pluto
Gratis.
In very few sentences Mr.. Bryan
exposed the wild fallacy of the cur
rent estin ates put on his income
stated that his free lectures far out
numbered bis paid ones, and that the
compensation he received from his
pen was of that perfectly legitimate
nature due men of indisputably ma.
tional prominence.
The Nebraskan also reminded his
questioner that public prominence
was an asset with all men, citing IN.
stance after instance wherein men OF
national reputation had found their
earning capacity vastly increased by
publicity and pubic service.
1t is unnecessary TO search far for
