Maryland, Bryan and Rayner.

Mr.. Bryan is scheduled for two speeches
in Maryland next week-one at Baltimore
on Tuesday, and the other at Hagerstown
on Wednesday. Does he hope to influence
the action of the democratic state conven-
ton with regard to Denver? His oppo-
nents are opposed to instructions, and
with Senator Smith at their head have
appeared as likely to win.
In Maryland. as elsewhere, Mr.. Bryan
has invariably drawn large audiences. and
should do so on these occasions. The good
people over there like eloquence, and their
home brand has always been of a high
order But although they have heard the
peerless leader they have needed not He
could never sugar-coat his policies sufi-
GENTLY to induce the Maryland people to
swallow them. He came and saw, but did
not conquer. Will this history be re-
peated?
A most interesting feature of the situa-
ton was related in the Baltimore letter
of yesterdays Star A big four for Den
Yer is under discussion. and the machine
is opposed to making Mr.. Rayner a mem
Der. Easily the best speaker of his party
in the state. and such a man as would
command attention in a national conven-
ton. he is yet reported to be on the black
list. Like Mr.. Foraker of Ohio and Mr.
Bradley of Kentucky, he will be left al
home
Why is this? Mr.. Rayner has no lean
ings toward Mr.. Bryan. He represents in
office those independents in politics who
while predisposed to cooperate with the
democrats refuse to do so in support
either OF candidates or policies objection
able in their eyes. And Mr. Bryan and
his policies have headed this list Mr.
Rayner is no more for Mr.. Bryan than
Mr.. Smith At Denver he would prob
ably go as far as his senatorial colleague
in comforting with the anti Bry antics from
other sections of the country about new
national leader. Why. then, and especial
~ when his talents as an orator are con-
sidered. should he not be sent to Den
Yer?
Can II be that jealousy explains the
matter? Senator Smith Gov Crothers
and State Senator German are tipped for
the trip. With Mr.. Rayner as the fourth
mar. might he not outshine his company:
Would he not inevitably become the
spokesman of the delegation at times
when speaking counted. and MARYLAND ex-
pected attention? Ii this is the inf1,1-
ence operating. Mr.. Rayner absent, with a
machine mute in his place, will be more
conspicuous than if present.

New York and Platforms.

New York. it is stated will be repre-
scented on the platform committee at Den
yer by Augustus Van Wyck. the man
Mr.. Roosevelt defeated for governor of
that state. That committee is all the
more important by reason of the fact
that eastern democrats. despairing of de-
feating Mr. Bryan for the nomination.
are seeking now to shape the creed. Mr..
Van Wyck will not be a stranger to the
work He served on the committee at
Kansas City in 1900, defeating David B.
Hill for the place.
Mr.. HILL by the way has had "a time
of it, at the last three democratic ma
tional conventions. In 1895 he was the
anti-free silver candidate for chairman
of the convention, but lost to Senator
Daniel Of Virginia. The result showed
the strength of silver In the convention.
and the platform and the nomination
that followed took New York at once
out of the doubtful column. Mr.. Hill
returned home still a democrat, but. as
he wittily observed. very still. He did
not open his mouth during the cam
paign.
Cndismayed. but this time conceding

hope of securing such modification OF
the platform as would enable the eastern
democrats to take a creditable part in
the fight. He wanted an assignment to
the platform committee with that object
in view But Richard Croker, then the
leader of Tammany Hall. and the
foe of Mr. Hill. denied the re-
quest, and gave the place to Mr. Van
WICK, a man of no influence whatever
on national affairs. Then, in a spirit
of malevolence Mr.. Croker. seeing no
hope of success at the polls. proposed
making Mr.. Hill Mr.. Bryan's running
mate But Mr.. Hill denounced the trick,
and defeated it.
At ST. Louis in 1904 Mr. Hill, in way,
Jared better. AS the friend Of Judge Par
ker and largely responsible for the lat
ters strength before the convention, he
| obtained a place on the platform commit

over the money question. He did not get
| what he wanted. but prevented the deliv-
erance that Mr.. Bryan wanted, only To
| have Judge Parker, under Wall street in
f1uences. upset the apple cart into the
| famous gold telegram. That, Mr. Hill saw
| was a fatal error and again he returned
home prepared for defeat at the polls.
| Mr.. Hill is the man for the Denver job
| But he Is on the shelf by his own choice

Labor and Capital in Politics.

The. manufacturers throughout the
country are said to he greatly interested
in the coming campaign and preparing to
interrogate parties and party leaders
about national policies. They want 10
know what is. or is likely to be. on the
cards. Their curiosity is natural and
commendable, and they are entitled to
reply.
This may be accepted as an answer to
a similar movement by union labor. If so.
il is none the less praiseworthy. Both
labor and capital are within their rights
in trying to impress upon our politics
their views of what is necessary to their
prosperity. Both influence a large num-
Der of voters. Both will benefit by
taking an active interest in public af-
fairs.
If labor wants too much capital should
point it out If capital wants too much
- labor should point 1t out. Their neces-
sary intimate connection has made each
a close observer of the other Both are
animated by natural impulses. Both want
returnS-as liberal possible-upon what
they put into the order of things, but
neither is likely to get all hat it wants.
There must be a compromise. and the
political parties will find themselves in the
position OF arbltratOrS- or, 1t may not ne
improper to say. of bidders.
In this way everybody will become in
terested in the campaign: and a full vote
should follow. For the great forces in
this country are capital and labor. Our
leisure class. though NOISY and paradeful,
is negligible in numbers and influence. 1t
is the capital controlled by men of en-
ergy and public spirit that counts. and
Ia Dor works with the ma terial thus sup
piled. So that when this capital makes
itself heard in the affairs Of the day, and
Ia Dor presents its case with full specifica-
tons. our political leaders and our law
makers have all that is necessary to lead
them to a decision. And as the decision
is. SO will the votes be.
At Chicago in June, at Denver in July.
and at Chicago again later in July when
the Hearst party meets, all of this bust
ness will be presented. The platforms Of
the three parties must bear upon it. and
in a way to recognize the claims upon at
tention of both capital and labor. For the
party which should make play for the
support of either capital or labor alone.
anG at the expense and to the unjust in
jury of the other would lose its case at
the court of public opinion.
