The Bryan Band Wagon.

i, The Bryan band wagon. in it's
rounds last week, took on all the
passengers who were bound for
Denver. Not a single delegate elect
ed during the week was disposed to
support ANYBODY other than the Ne
braskan, SAYS the Charleston Post.
There were f~ifty-eight delegates
elected to the Democratic national
convention. Of these, fifty were def
nitely instructed to vote for tho
nomination of Bryan and the other
eight, though not instructed, YER
openly pledged to support Bryan's
candidacy. Mr.. Bryan now has SAB
delegates bound to him by instruc-
tons and forty more who are de-
termined to'vote for him on their
own motion. That puts him within
eighty-nine vo, sof the nomination,
and there are more coming his way.
Three hundred and seven dele
gates are yet to be elected, and of
these 1877 are counted upon as prac
tically certain to be Bryan support
ers; if these materialize Bryan will
have ITO votes assured on the first
ballot, SO more than sre needed to
nominate. and he will probably be
made the candidate by reclamation.
If the majority rule for nom
nations prevailed in Dem
ocratic conventions. as it should
prevail, instead Of the two thirds
rule, Bryan would now have Of in
structed delegates 3S more than
enough to insure his nomination.
THE failure of the opposition to
capture a single delegate last week
in the three State conventions that
were held is significant Of the devel-
opments of the situation. The OPP
position has practically retired from
the field. after having been most
thoroughly---not to say ingloriously
---beaten. The effort to make John
son of Minnesota, a candidate has
utterly collapsed. Except for the
support of his own State Johnson
would not be even mentioned as a
candidate. He has not secured a
single delegate outside of Mime
sofa, though his candidacy has been
persistently and noisily doomed dur
ing the period of delegate choosing.
"The Bryan band wagon is max
ing it's final rounds and seats on it
are going at a premium. Those
who have not vet "ot aboard Will

Defeat of Gov. Smith.

There is much discussion pro and
con as to what caused the defeat of
Hoke Smith in his race for re-clec-
ton as Governor of Georgia by Joe
Brown in the recent white primary
in that State. Several things con
spired to bring about the defeat Of
Gov. Smith. The most potent was
the fight made on him by the rail
roads and other corporations locat-
ed in Georgia. Then all the old sa-
loon element was arrayed against
him because they held him partly re-
sponsible for the prohibition law.
Then, again most of the old Populist
element, under the leadership Of
Tom Watson. who is mad with Gov.
Smith because he would not pardon
a notorious Augusta murderer, vot-
ed against him. These are some of
the things that combined to beat
for reelection II Of the best gov
crnors Georgia has had in recent
years.

The Twilight Zone.

At the recent conference of gov
ernors held at the white house Mr..
Bryan coined a phrase which will so
down in history with some of the
most celebrated he has yet given to
the world. He pointed out that
there is no twilight zone between
the nation and the state in which ex-
plotting interests can take refuge
from both" 1t was a phrase which
struck the fancy of the president,
who enlarged upon it, and went as
far as he could be expected to go,
in the light of his record and con
victions on the subject Of states
rights. But the phrase has been
taken up and used extensively
throughout the country in it's broad
er application.
The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, for instance, points out that
THE twilighters are not all incorpo-
rated" The zone does not exist,
but the fiction Of it does, according
to The. North American. In COM
merce. as in our daily conduct,
there is a right and there is a wrong.
There is no twilight land in which
the two car blend. The twilighters
according to the contention of our
contemporary, are men, known in
every community, who are not alb
solutely dishonest, and yet between
their characters and real rectitude
there is a wide gap. These men are
usually among the most respected
citizens They are always among
the most self-respecting of men.
The North American says: Bry-
an and Roosevelt were right---as far
as they went. But they were wrong
in saying that the twilight zone does
not exist. 1t should not exist. 1t
must not exist 1t will not exist af-
ter the people win the fight now
waging against usurped privilege
and vested wrong. But it does exist.
and will, until the darkness is scatter
ed by the light of righteous decisions
from our highest courts based on
legisla'ions framed by pure patrio-
tism inspired by administrations
such as Roosevelt's. In that twi-
light now hide the bank director
who feels no responsibility for dis
aster due to his neglect of duty;
the railroad manager who sees on

ne Wall Street spectators have
-- need the price of stocks beyond
the pre-panic level, and it is hardly
necessary to say, that with reduced
incomes and smaller dividends,
should not be in demand at higher
prices on their intrinsic merits. AS
Hartman and Rockefeller are said
to be engineering the advance, there
is no doubt they can force prices
even higher. but that is all the more
reason for small fish to seek shallow
water, or those big fish may swal-
low them up like the pike does the
minnows. The Wall Street stock
market is no longer III or business
principles, it is now entirely at the
mercy Of the big spectators, who
force prices up and down to suit
themselves, and generally make
money whichever way it goes. How
can the ordinary business mar com
pete in such a nest of manipulation.
