THURSDAY, JUNE IS, 1908.

The New York Herald after what 1t
calls unbiased investigation admits
that Mr. Bryans nomination at Denver
is now assured. The Herald says; he
Herald in its table of probabilities con
tinues to place New York where It was
scheduled last week, as not instructed
or classified. The Herald believes that
the delegation from New York will vote
for Mr.. Bryan. But the strength of the
Nebraskau is growing so rapidly from
week to week that it now must be evil
dent to the veriest tyro in politics that
Mr. Bryan can be nominated without
the support of either New York or New
Jersey The anti Bryan managers have
had an unexpected backset. 1t ls hard
enough to elect delegates opposed to
Bryan. but to have them apparently ell
ected and then discover that they were
not elected at all il maddening. This is
what has happened in Florida. Florida
is entitled to ten delegates. An open
primary was held and although no
question of presidential preferences was
raised it was announced that eight of
the delegates were opposed to Bryan
and were classed for Judge Gray, while
two were for Bryan. The vote at the
primary was canvassed last week when
il was discovered that only four delega
les had been elected, and that these were
for Bryan. Six delegates will have to
be chosen at second primary. The
Bryan men will be on the alert this time
and will fight for every delegate. The
loss Of these eight delegates reduces the
number of votes instructed or Classed
for Gray from thirty one to twenty
three. The action Of the West Virginia
and New Hampshire state conventions
were serious blows to the candidacy o!
Governor johnson. The Johnson mana
gers expected that both these states
would refuse to instruct and that anti
Bryan delegates would be elected.

Chrome Mining In Asia.

For many years past chrome min
lie has been pursued as an industry
in Asia Minor. The chrome is usual
~ found on mountains from 1000 to
5000 feet high, and is removed from
the pits to the railway station or mar
ket on the backs of camels,
But while the chrome in the neigh
borhood of Smyrna brought $40 a
ton, it now commands very small
price being in this respect like anti
mony. SO that it scarcely pays to mine
it, and certainly not in districts re-
mote from railways. AS the chrome
of other countries comes on the
worlds markets that of Turkey
whose mines have never been worked
on a scientific basis with up-to-date
machinery, must necessarily decline
in value.
