Fight for Bryan Abandoned.
SO far as the democrats here are con-
cerned, It seems to be their purpose
rather to fight for the control of the
legislature than 20 attempt to get a large
vote for Bryan. In doing this they will
disappoint the Nebraskan. Not only did
the latter insert the Asiatic exclusion
plank in the democratic platform, but he
further made a bid for the vote Of this
state by naming Theodore A. Bell, one of
the democratic bosses. temporary chair
mar of the Denver convention. When
Mr.. Bell got back to California from the
Colorado city he resumed a fight which
he had been having with a canny Scot
named Gavin McNab, who is one Of the
shrewdest politicians the coast has pro-
duced. With the prestige that Bryan's
recognition had given him. Bell was en-
abled to obtain control of the democratic
machinery. But McNeb has a large fol-
lowing and Is sore. He claims he is con-
tent with having been ,ousted from con-
troll of democratic politics, because he
has no wish to serve as undertaken at the
burial ceremonies in this state incident
upon the interment Of a corpse.
The republicans of California also nave
dissensions. a faction having detached
itself under the name Of the Lincoln
Roosevelt republicans. At the recent
primaries this faction was badly beaten
and the regular republicans are once more
flrmly seated in the saddle.
The results Of these primaries are impor-
tant as showing the way the people feel
about the several parties which are striv-
Ing for their votes, According to the Of
fetal returns for the city OF San Fran
cisco, the republicans polled 1900 votes, the
democrats $500. the prohibitiorists 2,4OO,
union labor 1000. socialists 800 and the In
dependence leaguec1fa. These figures in
dictate the apathy of democrats, the dwind-
ling OF tine influence Of the independence
league and the unwilliEgness Of the big
labor vote longer TO support a distinct
labor party.
LabOrerk Are DisEusted.
1t Is explained by the labor leaders that
the men who work with their hands are
disguised with the grating Of men like
Ruef, who controlled their vote, and
Schmidt, his creature whom he made
mayor. Then. too. the laDorer in San
Francisco receives high wages and many Of
them have saved money and live in com

is to the advantage OF the republican
ticket. Languid interest only Is manifested

CLEVELAND DEMOCRACY.

No better evidence of the great worth of the late-lamented Grover Cleveland could be had than the conspicuous way In which tho leading politicians of both the big parties are today endeavor- ing to make 1t clear to the voters of the country that Mir. Cleveland favored Mir Bryan or Mir Taft The country has read column after column in tho newspapers about the many compexl- ties which have arisen as a result of the so-called Cleveland article pub lished by the New York Times and oth- CT newspapers, and has been made not much the wiser as to It's real Identity and authenticity for having done SO. As The Journal-Courier has had occasion to comment before, whether tho Times article was Mir Clevelands or not, the beloved President left considerable other evidence behind him at the time
 of his death to point to the fact that he had decidedly pro-Taft tendencies and that had he lived, he would have
 openly favored his candidacy,
 Yet, whether MT Cleveland was a Taft man at heart or not, he certain ly was a true believer in the great po- tental possibilities Of the best there Is in true cleveland democracy As has been pointed out, nothing political could have pleased him moro than that the scattered rank and file of the ho- called old line" Democrats be brought back into the fold from which
 many of them have wandered This could be done by offering them as
 of old the right sort of candidates. Mir i Cleveland, it may be believed would willingly have taken part in such a movement upon such terms To suit him and to be successful, it would need have been just such a movement as that in Connecticut this year where
 the state Democratic party has pre- scented 10 the people for their votes a
 man for whom men of any party may proudly and willingly vote Every thing points to the fact that, had MT. Cleveland lived, he would have un- qualfedly endorsed the candidacy of Judge Robertson for governor of this state, not so much because he is a
 Democrat but because he is the man
 for the job.

MIR. LiLLEy AGAIN RE-sAMrLEp,

It fig with unqualified ama2ement that we read tho annexed statement made by Mir. l., " to the "Waterbury American" in roa, tion with his bad collision at Meriden last Tuesday evening with the public utilities bill!
 What l said in Merlden last night was that a bill has been drawn and is now ready to be presented to the full commission The words to the full commission were left out of the newspaper reports, and naturally there was some surprise when was quoted as crediting myself with read Ing the bill when the committee t. self had not yet finished It's dunes.'
 We have examined with tne most scrupulous care the text of Mir. Lil- ley's speech at Meriden sent to the Journal-Courier office as printed sheet and duly reset in our types. It was Mir. Lilleys own copy. It had ob- viously been revised by him and the proof read. In effect it bore nis audit and his sign manual If was not copy taken from him at second hand, and by an errant reporter
 Absolutely nowhere in the printed  copy direct from Mir. Llleys hand do the words "to the full commission appear And If they do not appear there what becomes of MT. Lilleys as- sertion that they were left out of the newspaper reports" They were left out of the newspaper reports simply because Mir. Lilley left them out him self, It ! Is emphatically not one of those too familiar cases where a shrinking candidate can screen him. self behind Journalistic error
 But 1t is not q thing for wonder that even the ineXact NIT, Lilley, candidate for governor of the state of Connecti- cut a place that calls for dignity and above all, for exactitude of utterancc and action, should, with every oppor- tunity to re-examinc the facts fall again into the same pit that he dlgged | at Meriden, Which Is why we amaze"

THE METHOD OF MEDIATION.

Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission, addressed the National Association of Railway Com missioners recently at the twelfth an nual gathering of this body Mir. Knapp favors Mediation" rather than arbitration between railroads and their employees There may seem at first thought not much difference between the two methods of effectng amicable relations. Arbitration frequently leaves some bad feeling after the terms es- tablished are agreed to- There is not always the most thorough willingness to abide by decisions for great length of time.
 Mediation Is voluntary in a more complete sense, inasmuch as the re- suits are due to a mutual arrangement l by which both sides to n controversy i learn how to yield to one another in q direct purpose of friendliness As an observation Chairman Knapp asserted that as member of the mediation board he had found the "representa- lives of railway labor organizations as conciiatory in settling labor disputes as are representatives of railroad com panles."
 This Is testimony that comes with much assurance that progress is being made in the methods of settling trou- bles that have produced more or less embarrassing public situations in past times. The outlook for the future Is
