The Southern Candidates.

Since the South furnishes pra ctieally
all the electoral votes of which the
Democratic party is assured, there has
been growing feeling for some time
that the party should nominate its
presidential candidate from that sec

nally disposed of for the fourth or fifth
time the Democracy will get around to

Mr.. ChanIer's Questions.

Lieutenant Governor Chanler Of New
York recently framed up some ques-
tons in the apparent hope of side
tracking Governor Hughes upon the
great issues Of the campaign which he
has been pushing home to the voters
of the great Empire State with char
acte, iStic strength and vigor. The gen.
eral character Of these questions will
appear when it is known that among
them is one which asks whether Sen
ator Platt should be elected and an
pew should be reelected etc. 1t is
hard to see how these matters can have
ANYTHING to do with the adminiStra-
ton of the gubernatorial office at
Albany and as Il matter of fact the
term Of Senator DepeW will not eX-
pire until after the term of the Gov
ernor of New York to be elected at the
coming election. Such questions as
these simply show the straits into
which Mr.. Chanler has been driven in
his efforts to dodge the questions Of
Governor Hughes touching his attitude
upon the great vital issue that con-

may be said in passing that Governor
Hughes promptly answered Mr.. Chan

closing days of the campaign Bryan
and his managers are clutching des-
peratrly at everything which promises
to aid his waning fortunes. Their

this lie in the following statement.

"Bryan DANGEROUS as Burr"

The authorship of the much discus
Cleveland urging the election of Taft
is still under discussion. although those
who claim that it is spurious and a
forgery do not seem to be making much
Roadway in proving their contention
But whether Cleveland ever wrote the
letter in question or not nobody will
dispute that the views it expressed re-
garding William J. Bryan are those
always held by the late President
Cleveland He never had any hesita-
ton in making his position perfectly
clear Oh that subject. In speech in
West Virginia this week Richard Ran
dolph Mcmahon of Harper's Ferry,
who was 4 deputy comptroller of the
treasury under Cleveland and who is
now on the stump for Taft, quoted
what Cleveland had to say about Bry-
an in October 1900 when Mr.. Cleveland
was d guest at Mr.. McMahon's home.
Mr.. Cleveland, referring to what had
been said by agitators about himself,
said:
They are the ones who have chang
ed. stand today where | did ten,
twenty, thirty. years ago for what |
have always considered and believed to
be true Democracy. 1t is because I
have not changed and shall not change,
by taking up. adopting and advocating.

radical ard revolutionary theories as
are offered to us. that fault is found
with me, az it is with our dear friend.

PLY. seems wholly unsatisfactory to
Bryan Whether he would amend it
or reconstruct it to suit himself. the
Lord alone knows. He is not satisfied
with the constitutional method of APP
pointing our Federal Judges, our none
tary laws are all wrong. the gold stan
dard is to be eXtermnated, men who
were Democrats before he was born are
now "traitOrS" because they Will not
condone populism and socialism. All in
all, considering Rryan's solemn avoWalS
of his fixed purpose to demolish and
destroy whatever does not satisfy
him-and | know of nothing that does,
from the Constitution down-his vain
assumptions, his appeals to passion and
to prejudice. his arrogance in his new
and Self-cOnStituted role of the leader
of the Democracy, his nOStrumS, his
quacks and his demagOgism, | regard
him as quite as dangerous an enemy
to our country as was Aaron Burr.
Mr. Mcmahon, in the speech in which
he quoted Mr. Cleveland as above, said:
"This seems to be the proper place and
this the appropriate time for me to
make known what ex-President Cleve-
land said to me about the fallacies and
nostrums of William ]. Bryan and of
Bryan himself" Let the Cleveland
