TAFT AND BRYAN.

Every day it becomes clearer at
nothing can prevent the nomination
of Taft at Chicago and BRYAN
Denver They alone in their parties
show great strength in all sections
Of the country They alone stand
out as natural figures in the pre-.
convention campaign. Both surely
outclass all rivals in popularity and
prestige,
Taft is not having the field so
nearly to himself as Bryan, for oppo-
sition to the Nebraskan has virtually
disappeared, except in few demo-
cratic papers and among elements in
his party which will not be able to
elect any delegates worth mentioning.
1t is altogether probable that BRYAN
will win by reclamation, without a
contest of any kind A ballot of any
contest of any kind. A ballot would
end before the roll call could be half
finished in shout for the choice of
the overwhelming majority.
The republican convention will not
afford a parallel for such complete
domination of the party by one man.
Other names than Taft's will be plac-
ed before the delegates. There win
be one ballot-and one only. 1t is
quite certain now that Taft's cad will
be so commanding that his triumph
will be evident long before tine end of
the first roll call He is capturing
states in all sections. He is equally
strong in Maryland, Missouri, Kansas,
and Michigan. He outolasses other
candidates in popularity in New Eng
land and on the Pacific coast. He
leads in the south.
Beyond reasonable doubt it will be
ner against the Great Defeated. Is
any gift of prophecy needed to fore

noon Postponed.

Mr.. A. d. Darby, chairman Of the
committee on speaker, authorizes the
statement that there will be no mems
meeting next Sunday afternoon in the
opera house under the auspices OF the
Y. NJ. G. A. The reason for this is
the inability of the committee to e.
cure a speaker Of national reputation
for that day.
The committee had expected that
one of three abe men invited to de-
liver the address would accept, but
all were obliged to decline for one
reason or another, hence the postpone
ment of the mems meeting for at least
one week
The expenses of holding these meet
ings are pretty heavy greater, in
deed, than might be supposed, there
fore the committee is looking for a
speaker whose reputation would be
certain to attract a large audience to
the meeting and that would assure a
large free-will Offering.
The committee and the association
regret that the series of mems Sun
day afternoon meetings could not
have been continued consecutively as
originally intended, but the break in
the regular order last Sunday and the
coming one was entirely unavoidable.
