the virtue Of being new issue in q

those other issues Of recent years

platform? Why has he forgotten?
Why seemingly 50 anxious that the
people should forget his silver issue,
his assault upon the courts, his issue
Of imperialism? Are any of these

that European conference will be
held to consider the whole question.
Advices obtained in authoritative
quarters at Sofia are to the effect that
only some of the powers supported
the British proposal for settlement
Of the railroad question. This want
of unanimity among the powers en-
courages Bulgaria to persist in her
present attitude.
Varna and other Bulgarian towns
are placarded today with declarations
that the moment has now arrived to
proclaim independence, as otherwise
Turkey on the strength of the treaty
Of Berlin, will demand restitution of
eastern Rumelia.
France to Mediate
Paris, Oct. 5-France has decided
to enact the role of mediator with the
object of preventing war between Tur-
key and Bulgaria. Foreign Minister
Pichot already had begun series of
conferences with the diplomatic rep
resentatives Of the powers with the
idea Of reaching an understanding,
the purpose of which should be the
maintenance of peace, when the Off

lamation at Tirnovo arrived. The
foreign minister conferred this morn

Sofia, Bulgaria. Oct. Bulgaria, a
tributary principlity under the nomi-
nal power of the sultan of Turkey,
today proclaimed her independence Of
Turkey. This action was taken at
Tirnovo by Prince Ferdinand, who
was elected prince Of Bulgaria In
1887. The Bulgarian cabinet was
present with the prince, having met
his yesterday at the frontier and
journeyed with him to Tirnovo. the
party reaching that point last even
ing.
Tirnovo is the ancient capital of the
kingdom Of Bulgaria and 1t was there
IN the olden days that the kings of
Bulgaria were crowped.
The proclamation was made at the
cathedral Of Tirnovo at IL O'Clock
this morning. It was dramatic
scene accompanied by great enthus-
iasm. A manifesto of independence
addressed to the nation was subse-
.quently ssued by the prince.

once again, in my Judgment, Mr.. Bry-
an win know that the people rule.
The people know their own minds
and know how to make their wishes
effective. In 1895 they resented an
attempt to 6oist q cheap dollar as the
measure Of wages. They would not
consent to degrade the currency.
They were honest with each other
and with the business world. They
were honest, too, with Mr.. Bryan and
told him In plain words that they
could not trust him in the White
House. They condemned his heresy
OF free silver and condemned the au-
thor Of such false economic policy.
Under such condemnation by the
people Mr.. Bryan appeared at the
bar In 1900, appeared as culprit;
pleaded for mercy on the ground that
he no longer cared for silver, It had
not obtained for him the necessary
votes, had not won for him the covet-
ed prize. He asked to be tried again.
The nation, he alleged had bdunder-
cd In the election Of Mckinley who
had brought Imperialism. The time
had come for the people to repent.
That was the only way for the elect
ors to justify themselves for their
fault. He couldn't be wrong; whoever
did not follow him could not be right.
The bfee1es OF November are full Of
ozone> They gave vigor to 1928, 900
voters to repeat that grim verdict OF
four years before, an increase of
783 10000 over the grand total Of 1895.
The convention of 1904 was not
under Mr.. Bryan's complete domino
ton. His party asked for other lead
ership and got It; others dictated the
nomination and directed the canvass.
The Democrats In convention asserted
that they desired no more of his lead
ershtp; the people at the polls pro-
claimed that they had no use for
what remained of his vagaries.
Must Rule Through Bryan.
Against all these adverse decisions.
Mr.. Bryan enters his protest and for
the third time appeals to the people
to nu1lify their deliberate Judgment.
He insists that the people do not rule
unless they rule through him. He
practices all the art Of the trained
promoter. He will sell his wares and
will not take no for an answer. He
keeps his own supply Of limelight
and wraps It about him as q garment,
No 'get-rich-quick' scheme was ever
pushed with more industry than he
devotes to his canvass. In pulpit. on
platform and stage, at fairs and pic-
MICS. he parades himself. All themes
are alike to him, for the sum Of each
and all is the gentleman from Nebras-
ka. His grand conclusion from every
premise, from every argument. is
that he must be master, else the peo-

he bow to the second mandate Of the
people. Not even then was he willing
to recognize the peoples right, nor
was he willing to concede that the

''In 1904 a sort Of truce was enter
ed into and Bryan retired for the
once as his party's candidate. The
warning OF adverse najorities from

had been noted The mutterings
reached the proportion Of storm.
The approaching cyclone drove the
Nebraskan into the cellar Of tempor-
ary retirement and Judge Parker led
the forlorn hope Of that year. Mr..
Bryan was given the opportunity of
comparing the sensation Of being cast
out by Democratic convention, OF
to be trodden upon by the mass of
the people at the polls. Whatever

With Taft the Noted Author and Anti-Machine Man De. cideS to Cancel Dates
 for the Present,
.TAFT'S ACT ENCOURAGING
May Be Vital as Affecting Lil- ley-Trouble With Voice The Matter of Black
 hand" Citizens,

Following the official announcement rom Washington that William II. Taft, the republican presidential can didate has decided not to come 10 Connecticut to speak comes another that Winston Churchill, the noted nov elist of New Hampshire, has also can celled his speaking engagement here for the present.
 These announcements arc much more important than one might first think and so far as Mir. Taft's decision Is concerned the matter is momcntons. as affecting Iilley's campaign for gov crnor. A great body of republicans Throughout tho state is greatly. en- couraged at Mir. Tafts action which simply means that he will not come hero and appear on the same platform with Lillcy thereby serving to en- dorsc the candidacy of man for high office whom Mr. Sherman. the vice. presidential candidate, has denounced in no uncertain words, Mir. Sherman being one of the congressman who signed the submarine investigation re- port to the house of representatives.
 one republican, opposed to I.illey warmly stated last night that perhaps the pro-Iillcy press would also charge Mir. Taft's decision to the "blackhand'- methods of his opponents He cen. tlnucd:
 But no one will believe that MT. Taft is subject to any blackhand' fright His admirers here sent him word some time ago that he would jeopardize his certainty of carrying the state if he came and allowed Lil- ley to bc foistcd upon him as Forakcr was in Ohio. He was told honestly aud frankly the conditions in Connec- ticut. He was told it was not neces- sary for him to come here and by his very presence bolster up the Lilley campaign and q machine in danger of losing its power. He was told that licans opposed to Lillcy would not con! sder if consistent with his record for him to associate himself at any rally with a candidate whom his (Mr. Taft) hwn running mate had so fcarlessly denounced. Apparently Mir. Taft has listened to tho straightforward appeals of his admirers and has turned a deaf car to tho appeals, of Colonel Ullman and Chairman Ke- ncaly, both of whom. it is said, stayed in Washington to sec the candidate after their futile visit to the Whita House last Saturday to have Presi- dent Roosevelt endorse Lilley's candi- dacN.
 MT. Taft's voice. tho press dis patches say, has been affected by out door speaking. The cutting out of Connecticut from rih itinerary as well as the cancellation of dates in other states will relieve the strain and SO far as Connecticut is concerned he can
