runs-in every great debatable state
a democracy stronger than Mr.. Bryan
and handicapped by Bryan's record.
In New York Mr.. Bryan's defeat
was so overwhelming that there is no
parallel except his previous defeat in
1896. Badly as he was beaten here
in 1900, he was worse beaten Tues
day. when he lost Greater New York
polling $4,000 fewer votes here than
he did eigh years ago. Even Parker
managed TO carry New York City. and
Parker was worse beaten than Gree

in New York City and state than Par

NO REGRETS FOR WORK WELL

Looking back oysr sAo Circumstance
ee of tho campaign now ended. the
Courier-Jo"rnal has nothing to regret
or retract. We have given expression
10 our true beliefs. accepting aI;erna-
tives. no, Of our own making. with
Sood grace and PARTING forth Our ut
termost i'm the cause Of the right as
We were able to see il. We had Creat
confidence in the election of the Gem
ocratic ticket. In no political battle
that We recall has il seemed 10 us
that so much 10 condemn appeared
upon d single side, or was 50 plainly
visible. We believed thar there was
virtue and intelligence enough in the

The result shows that we diversified

people. They were deaf alike to pre-
cedents, TO reason and to eloQuence;
for nothing could surpass, as nothing
has ever equalled, the personal can

cidity and power OF statement; its
splendid intellectual and physical en-
durance; its unanswerable argument.
Nor did Ignatius of Loyola sweep

THE CONCLUSION OF THE
WHOLE MATTER

If we were asked why Mr.. Bryan
was not elected we would say that it
was because he failed to inspire con
fdence among the business men Of
the country: the men who are engag-
ed in mining and manufacturing;
trade. traffic and commerce of all do
scripions: that large class of men
whose attention has been directed
more to the accumulation of fortunes
than to the study Of The theories and
problems of government
The business men of the country
believe in men whom they denominate
as practical men: men OF affairs -
affairs meaning large business en-
terprises.
1t is to these men. in our Judgment
that Mr.. Bryan owes his defeat, for
they. in a large measure. control the
labor vote of the country.
Among that smaller circle of vot-
ers-the college presidents. the
preachers. the editors. the lawyers.
the scholars. the dreamers, if you
please, those thinkers who make the
theories and problems of government
study, Mr. Bryan inspired the larg-
est measure Of confidence.
Unfortunately these men are not in
a majority and their voices cannot be
heard above the clatter of machinery
and those who reduce politics to a
mere business proposition.
Unfortunately, this is nothing new
in our history.
Henry Clay, the idol of the wings.
who was genius in statecraft, per
haps more than any other man of his
times. was defeated for the presiden-
cy by James x. Polk. almost an OBJ
scUre man.
Daniel Webster. acknowledged 10

a candidate. failed to obtain the nom
iuation of his party.
Horace Greeley. who had devoted
his whole life to the study of politics.
was defeated by General Grant, who
had confesscdly given no study to the
subject whatever. and James c..
Blaine, so long I'm congress and SO
long the leader Of his party. failed TO
procure the presidential plum.
These men were not regarded by
the business interests of the country
as practical" possibilities.
There is no need Of blinking at the
fact that cur politics are commercial
lied.
As Mr.. Watjerson puts it: n dollar
in the hand. though tainted. is worth
a bush full Of patriotic distractions"

Defeated though he has been three
times for the presidency OF the Unit
ed States. Bryan stands today the
first citizen Of the American republic.
Three dimensions in the furnace of
national publicity, subject to the
scrutiny OF a hostile press and party,
no flaw has been found, no speck upon
his character, no weakness in his
composition. Unsuccessful as the rep
resentative Of his party, he has fore
ed upon the country and the opposi-
ton the adoption of the leading prin-
ciples and policies which twelve years
ago marked him as different from 9th
err men and other pOliticians.-Tampa
