country to show what it will do
with Mr.. Bryan"
Having repudiated Bryan in ad-
vance, the Democratic Brooklyn Eagle
confirms its earlier verdict, although
according to the candidate credit for a
notable personal triumph. The nub OF
its editorial lies in these lines:
No thoughtful man would make
Bryan his executor. No thoughtful
man should make Bryan his Ex-
ecutive"
Hiding but IN. part it's discontinue,
the News Letter of Richmond says
Let every anti-Bryan Democrat
in Virginia determine to do the
part of a sensible man and pat
riotic citizen, vote the ticket, work
for it and contribute his fair share
of money for its support"
The editorial avoids any prediction,
avowing the outcome as uncertain.
AT What. a Price" is the title used
by the Brooklyn Standardization. Dis
cussing the convention, the platform
and the ticket, it says;
There is mockery and emptiness
in it all for which the honestly
elected delegates cannot be blam-
ed, but which will mark the can
didacy of Mr.. Bryan and that of
whatever person shares with him
place on the national ticket put
through by bargain, fraud and
theft"
The st. Louis GlobeDemocrat, Re-
publican, sees certain defeat for Bry-
an, conceding, however, that
Republicans will be free to con-
cede, nevertheless, that Bryan is
as strong a candidate as anybody
would have been who has at any
time been mentioned in connection
with the nomination"
From the New Haven Union:
He got the nomination not be-
cause the powers that be wanted
him, but because the people want
ed him. In November they will
elect him to the Presidency"
From the Brooklyn Times:
Altogether a marvellous and a
dangerous man.
From the Wilmington (Del.) Journal;
The people have passed judg-
ment upon Mr.. Bryan in two cam
paigns, and there is no reason for
believing that the result will be
different in November"

mics editorial campaign comment on
Bryans nomination:
Ever since the nomination Of Bryan
became a likely contingency the New
York World has been fighting him.
The map published by that paper
showing the districts lost by Bryan
before, andhaccompanied by question
as to what State of ten ones lost could
be carried by him now, was one Of the
bitterest attacks upon the Bryanites.
They resented the question, but did not
answer it. To the time of the nomina-
ton this opposition to Bryan was in
sistent and vigorous. The World was
regarded as one of the Democratic
journals apt to bolt.
In its issue of yesterday there is a
lengthy analysis of the platform. and
a comparison with the Republican
platform in many respects compliment
airy to the one adopted at Denver. OF
the candidate himself, his status. pros
poets and relation to the affections Of
the World there is no word.
Next in interest among New York
publications, because of some element
of doubt, was the attitude to be taken
by the New York American, premier
among the Hearst daily. output. This
was due to the fact that Hearst and
Bryan had been political friends, that
in former campaigns Hearst had been
lavish in financial and editorial sup
port, and above all that there had aris-
en- schism and Hearst had drifted
from his old party into one of his own
contriving.
The American is-wholly frank. eve

party" it says. I'VE cannot see in
this nomination any hope" It con.
tinues:
eve are bound to add with re-
greet, that we have lost confidence
also in William j. Bryan, who by
well-manipulated boss-ship has
compelled this nomination. -
The platform adopted by the Dem
ocratic party is nothing but COM
promise between the absolute will
of Bryan and that willingness on
Bryan's part to dicker with his
own principles recently made
known to the public. A
note is a promise to pay. 1t is
valuable according to who makes
it and who indorses it. A platform
is a promise to perform; and a
platform made by the Democratic
party and Endorsed by Mr. Bryan
is not worth the paper it is writ
ten on. = + The Democratic
party has become a weathercocll
of what its inferior leaders ina

opinion. = And the Demo-
