Not content with doing what they
can at large to defeat the nomin-
alton Of William Jennings Bryan,
tue democrats in the house of
representatives have taken up the
cudgel against the Nebraska gentle
man. . In the house Representative
Leake, of New Jersey, took a fall
out of the periodical candidate and
denounced him and his methods in
such a manner as to call for laughter
from the republican side and a few
Kisses from the democratic side of
the house. Representative Leake
has evidently been saving up fof his
excoriatlon Of the democrats San
didate and be turned loose his flood
of oratory as he flayed Mr.. Bryan or
bis usurpation Of the prerogatives Of
the democratic delegates to the Den
YER convention. Mr.. Leake declared
that he was against the proposition
OF Mr.. Bryan's methods OF securing
the nomination, and that while he
conceded him to: be honest, cons's-
tent and sincere, yet thought that
Mr.. Bryan's familiarity with the
decalogue better qualified him for
tho pulpit than for the presidency.
"He. has taken the big stock from
the president Of the United States,i'
said Mr.. Leake, "and to use his own
smile, he IS row crucifying the
principles Of democracy and Ameri.
can individuality and ambition on
the cross of socialism," 1t is a de-
liRhtful time that the democrats Of
the east are having with the demo.

to be 1t at the Denver convention.
1t is conceded, however, that the

x1cx1no ON THE PRIMARY

Over IN Minnehaha county the in-
surgents have been making the
rash claim that they could carry the
county az ainst Senator Kittredge In
favor Of Governor Cawford, and
they seemed quite sanguine that the
citizens of Minnehaha would trade
a United States senator for q
superintendent OF schools. The
county republican committee met
in Sioux Falls Monday to arrange
for the primary. The great surprise
Of the day came when the i~nsurpent
chairman gave up the fight against
Kittredge at this time and turned
the appointing power Ut the dele
gates to the stalwarts. the chair.
man claiming there was no ii. bit on
and that it would tie unnecessary to
hold the primaries. The stalaarts
promptly, and rightly, declined to
30 away with the primary. when
the insurgents have heen using this
as a campaign pusher for the past
three years. The insurgents realized
that they would have a losing fight,
should they enter the field at this
time and desiring to retain some
thing of a hold on their friends aud
not to show to the state at large
the absolute weakness of the insur-
gent wing in Minnehaha county,
they agreed that they would put up
no fight.
Now that the stalwarts have
insisted that the primary law Of
the state must be obeyed the insu1-
gents over there are putting up a
great bluff about the county being
put to an unnecessary expense in
selecting delegates. The chances
are 10 to l that ii the slalwarts
had accepted the statement OF the
insurgents and named the delegates
without first calling the primary
and %electing them that way, the in
sureents would have shouted out
"bossism'' with the same force that
the are yelling expense today. Here
Is the primary Of their own creation,
primed and ready to do business this
spring, and the very first people to
make any objection to it is the in
'surRents themselves. The primary
seems to be used for the purpose of
winning for the insurgents when
necessary and to knock 1t In the
head when 1T appears that 1t stands
in their way toward success. The
influence of Minnehaha county going
so strongly stalwart this spring will
serve as a good tonic to other coun-
ties in the state aad now that it is
absolutely lost to the insurgents
many other counties will sweep into
line.

Bailey's appointment, he recited that
"Major Picker has received num-
