SUCCESS AT POLLS
Declares Bryan's Victory Is
Popular Triumph.
RECALLS THE FIGHT OF 1875
Louisville Editor Snys Campaign
VIII BE Repetition of Old Battle.
Faction To the Rear, United We
stand" Is Veteran Writer'S Key
nOte-Thinks Public VIII RatIfy.

Louisville, July 1O.-Col Henry Waiter
son will sound his keynote Of the Demo-
cratic campaign In an editorial in the
Courier-Journal in the morning. It is
quite lengthy and goes into the Demo-
cratic campaign Of 1876. in his opening
paragraph. he says:
'Hurrah for Bryan and Kern. II Is a
strong ticket. 1t is sound Democratic
declaration Of principles The party will
accept both the ticket and the platform
with enthusiasm, and the voters Will
ratify them at the polls in November.
Henceforward the word shall be faction
10 the rear-united we stand"
Mr.. Watterson says that It is practical
~ the old fight Of 1876 over again He
quotes the most salient points of the plat
form Of that year and Its terrible indict-
ment Of the Republican party, and says:
I'VE demand that all custom-house tax
alton shall be only for revenue"
Tells of Bryan's Rise.
Mr. Watterson tells Of the rise Of Mr..
Bryan and his hold upon the Democratic
party. He tells of his recent conference
with the Commoner and how he made
his peace with the great leader, and then
says.
"The anti-Bryan habit is sef-deceptive
and pure delusion, where it is not form,
often unconscious form. Of reasonable
InndeIity. There is no reason for It's ex-
istence in the mind Of any true Demo-
crat."
Mr.. Watterson compares Bryan with
Henry Clay. and says that the people.
and not the politicians, prevailed at Den
Yer. He then closes his editorial by say
Ing:
They have prevailed against a great
deal Of maneuvering and not a little
money; they have prevailed over the
doubts and fears Of many, the prejudices
Of others; but prevail they have, dis
tinctly and absolutely.
Compared 10 Clay.
In standing 10 Mr. Bryan as the
Wings should have stood to Mr.. Clay.
they take the responsibility into their
own hands, choosing their ticket as wise
women choose their husbands, TO suit
themselves; saying to one another now
| and ready TO say To the world and to the
bitter end, II that be the will of the
Lord, as, please God, II shall not be
Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never TO have loved At all
Better. yea, a thousand times better
the old faith and the old flag. so that II
we must go down we shall go down
shouting.
THAT Is the soul Of Democracy, unter-
rihed and undefled. That Is the spirit
which snatches brands from the ashes.
and sets them blazing upon the affairs of
truth That is the fellowship that binds
men and wins battles, even with pebbles
against mall-clad giants, though hell
should belch forth milliOnaires and satan
bar the way"

From staff CorTvspOndeut
Denver. Colo, July 1O-The big nght in
the District OF Columbia delegation is
settled at last
In the hotel Hobbies here tonight the
victor is handing out this nicely engraved
card:
Edwin A. Newman, Democratic ma
tional committeeman. District Of Column
bia.
The last of series OF tempestuous
meetings was held at the District head
quarters I'm the Alfred this afternoon as
soon as the national convention had ad-
Journed
The resistance 10 Mr.. Newman's cleo
ton has been very persistent from Dele
gates John j. Purcell and sam De Nedrey.
At previous meetings many Of the dele
gates voted for themselves. but Robert
L. Mattingly. J. Fred Kelley. and William
Mex. Clayton stuck to Mr. Newman. who,
with their votes and his own and that
Of Purcell which was finally won over,
had majority. They kept the matter
tied up several days however, and Mr..
Newman at times was near defeat.
Kelley Not IA Delegate.
1t came out this afternoon that Mr..
Kelley and Mr.. DE Nedrey are not and
have not been delegates at all. The ma
tional committee, It seems. struck their
names of, TO make place for Carr and
Darr the contestants.
This action was not thoroughly under
stood TIL to-day, for 1t was supposed that
the six delegates who came out here with
the regular credentials all had two-thlrds
OF a vote each when the national commit
tee decided TO seat two OF the contestants.
Such. however. was not the case. al
though the six men IN question sat
through all the sessions OF the conven-
tion and participated officially in the de-
Nberations.
When the roll OF States was called on
Vice President this afternoon, Delegate
Darr announced that there were 1900 dis
franchised voters In the District OF Co
lumbia. and therefore they would not
favor any candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency.
Clayton Makes Speech.
Delegate Clayton made this a text FOR
a little speech later to the convention
He said that while it was true 10000 resi-
dents Of the District had no voice or vote
in elections, nevertheless the five votes
Of the delegation would be for John W.
Kern.
Some one interrupted him to say there
would be six votes.
Some Of the District delegates VIII leave
for home tomorrow; others day or two
later.
