on THE BAND WAGON.

Getting on the band wagon is one of the
cheerful diversions Of postnomination period.
Democratic newspapers which have been try
ing for six months or more 10 prove that Mr..
BRYAN was a candidate unfit to nominate and
impossible TO elect are now taking morning
after" reckoning. Some Of them do not care
TO eat their words and will brave excOmmu-
nication this year as steadfasuy as they did
In 1896 But others are nerving themselves for
a compromise with unavoidable circumstances
and ride as guests on the chariot Of the
conqueror at Denver.
II may not be altogether comfortable the
chariot But what is a poor political pedes-
TRAN 10 do? As one of them pathetically eX-
planned the other day, "the way is often long
and tedious and the walking IS not good 1t is
better in their opinion 10 ride exhibits than
to get sore feet 'tramping TO the terminus"
The gifted editor of ''The Louisville Courier
Journal made up his mind some time ago not
TO be q long distance pedestrian in this year of
grace 1905. He preempted a seat on the Bryan
band wagon whio there were still posts Of
vantage on that vehicle, and vehemently
charged his undecided fellow journalists with
inability 10 recognize the psychological moment
when it arrived.
Colonel Watferson had some heated passages
with Colonel Hempbill. of The Charleston
News and Courier" in which the latter limited
that his friend from Louisville had ingloriously
sacrificed the traditions Of Jeffersonia nism To
get front place on the Bryan Populist four
in hand Yet we notice that the said four-in-
hand was hardly in motion before the gallant
South Carolina editor charged and scaled il
from the rear Believing in the parable OF the
vineyard and the ele7enthhour laborers, be
hopes even now 10 pose with Colonel Waiter
as an exhibit the box, for he said
gayly and confidently Thursday:
The riding is not always easy in the band
wagon, the best seats having been taken by the
earliest adventurers. but this year especial
Communications win be provided for all sorts and
conditions. the circumstances being such that
the master of the show feels that the patriotic
part would be to take full load" We do not
know Of course, what others may do but as
for us and our house. If the fears which haunt
this morning shall be realized, we shall take
the seats reserved for IN the front row on
the right OF peerless driver in spite OF the
prophecy that If the blind lead the blind both
shall fall into the ditch; for is IL not written
in the Gospel according 10 St Luke: Which Of
-you shall have ass OK fallen into a DIT
and VIII not sUraghtWay pun him on the
sabbath day.
Colonel Hemphil evidently expects an ex-
citing journey But whatever his apprehension,
and whatever bis former depreciation OF the
skill of the master Of the reins be is deter
lsiDed TO perish with coach and coachman
New-York tribune., 1908-07-12
4 REJECTED OLIVE BRANCH.

week ago Mr. William Jennings Bryan
honefully offered to Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst one of the greenest olive branches ever
plucked in a political garden. He said edi
torially in his 'Commoner'
The Republican papers are quick to assume
that Mr.. Hearst will oppose the pemocraIc
ticket They ought to give Mr.. Hearst credlt
for having made a fight for certain well defined
reforms and they ought to give him creot 1or
sincerity in advocating those reforms
MIR. Hearst could hardly be expected to an
nounce in advance of the other conventions what
he thought ought to be done, but II VIII De re
membered that in 1904 he was candidate In the
Democratic convention after the adoption OF the
platform written that year.
n the platform of 1904 was good enough for
Mr. Hearst to run on, may not the Democratic
latfor1n of 1908 be good enough for Mr.. Hearst
to support?
Could ANYTHING have been more conhding,
propitiatory and winsome than that? With just
a pathetic trace of wistfulness, too, as II mod
estly and manfully TO acknowledge that 10
WOO is not always to win. 1t almost makes us
ashamed to reproduce the response TO Mr..
Bryan's anxious appeal which Mr. Hearst
American delivered yesterday morning IN
these unfeeling words:
We have lost confidence in the Democratic
party as millions of other Democrats nave uohe
We cannot see IN this nomination any nope.
We are bound to add, with regret, that we
have lost confidence also in W1liam j. bryaii
who by well manipulated DosS-sIllp HAS CUM
PEELED this nomination. -
No reliance can be placed on the Democratic
platform or on Bryan's declarations The Demo
cratic platform declares for one set or prhclpies
at one election and for an entirely olHereht sel
at the next election, while Bryan is apparently
without permanent principle or sincere cohNic-
ton, or even honest attitude.
A note is a promise to pay 1t Is Valuapie dc-
cording TO who makes it and who indorses it.
A platform is promise to perform; and
nIatfor1n made by the Pemocratic party and in
6orsed by Mr. Bryan is not worth the paper 1T is
written on.
