1t is good news that the Unofend-
ing white man who was unintention-
ally wounded by Congressman Heflin
in a Washington City street car re-
Gently, is reported to be getting well,
and the symptoms of lOckjaw which
threatened his life have passed away.
Public sentiment in Washington now
seems to be soiidly supporting Mr.,
Heflin in his trouble with the drunk
en- negro ruffian, and, reading be-
tween the hines of the Washington
papers, it is plain enough to be seen
that there is a deep-seated, wide
spread regret that his craftsmanship
was so inadequate TO the emergency
To convict him of any offenSe what
ever under such circumstances would
be a brutal travesty on justice
worthy of Hayti itself where a white
man don't count for much in any
case under any circumstances and
colored gentlemen have the call.

He is Honest,
But Mistaken.

1t is not necessary for Bryan demo
Gratis to disparage Governor Johnson,
or for the pert photographers to get
gay and fiippant about him because
he has his eyes cooked in the direc-
ton of that nomination at Denver.
We are all proud of him and we
can't get too many of his kind into
the party, for he is a big, strong,
clean man and with Mr.. Bryan, he
sees the need for large reforms.
In an interview just published Gov
ernor Johnson makes his attitude
toward the nomination too plain to
be misunderstood and says:
MY position is just this: If the
members of the Democratic party feel
that ! would stand more chance Of
election than would Mr.. Bryan, or
any other man, will be glad to make
| the campaign If / am considered
| the most available man, there will be
no lack of appreciation on my part
of the honor conferred on me. 1t all
depends, in my Judgment, on the
platform and d vigorous campaign.
lAs I view it, the democratic party
/ has at least an even chance to win
| this year"
No ambiguity there nor Talleyrand
use of words to conceal meaning.
That is what the party and the coun-
try wants, and the Minnesota states
man is entitled to thanks for his
plain speaking But all the same we
are surprised that he doesn't realize
that he is being adroitIy used by fac
tional democrats, led by the trust-de-
| Tending New York World, for no other
purpose than TO defeat Mr.. Bryan.
To the unbiased mind in every
part of the country, it is clear enough
that the Nebraskan is the choice OF
the great democratic masses of
America, and the World faction, bit
terly opposed to Mr.. Bryan's war on
trusts and predatory wealth, are NOV
| ing every possible agency to defeat
his nomination because they really
fear his election and its consequences
to their swollen property interests.
Among these agencies they count
Governor Johnson and it is not that
they love him burt that they dread
Bryan that they are seeking to use
him to defeat the nomination of the
! latter at Denver. They know that
neither he nor any other man in his
! party has such prestige nor such a
grip upon the plain people of America
as the plain citizen of Nebraska whose
reform doctrines are so obviously
| just that the republican party has I'M
| blushingly appropriated some of the
, most important of them, or at least
the Roosevelt wing of that party has.
Anybody to beat Bryan, is the cry
of this crowd, and with no real hope
| that Johnson can be elected if nonli-
| mated, they will be quite content, for
what they want is a continuance of
| the policies that will protect plu-
| tocracy and the trusts.
But nevertheless Mr.. Bryan will be
nominated at Denver, and if Cover
nor Johnson sticks to his program
his own prestige will be dimmed at
/ the outset of his career as a national
figure by a decisive defeat in the ma
tional democratic convention. What
he mistakes for call fro, 80 demo
cratic masses is merely the voice of
the faction led by the New York
| World
