1T is quite possible that two-tlirds of

convention The vote of New York and

il cannot be accomplished. II is at the

repetition of the campaigns of 1895 and
1900 -
Both parties are wrestling. or may do
so at the national conventions. with the
same proposition: Shall states with no
electoral votes To give be permitted Ia
name the presidential candidate?
The lower southern states are soidly
and as matters stand unalterably. demo
cratic 1t is the acme OF absurdity To
propose that they control by combiua-
ton the situation at Chicago. And yet

score are threatened. So warm is the
controversy. and so ambitious the project
the chairman of the republican national
committee has thought it proper to an
nounce that everything g. the convention
will he tried and decided on it's merits
Fine work at primaries will be closely
examined, and chicane when detected de-
feated
And is it not as absurd to propose that
states which are solidly and unalterably
republican? What have Pennsylvania and
the New England states to promise the
democratic candidate? They are certain to
vote for the Chicago nominee. no matter
his name or platform. Pennsylvania will
give him as large majority as Texas the
Denver nominee: and MasSa chuSetts.
Maine. New Hampshire and Connecticut
will plump for the republican as Missis-

for the democrat. So much may with
entire safety be foretold at even this

1t would be risky TO defeat Mr.. Bryan
AT Denver by bare one-third vote. even
If that vote came in part from states

suicidal to do so with votes gathered from
