Mn. nnYAr. rHn Nomrrrr.

The nomination of William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska. as the Democratic candidate for President is simply car- rying into effect what had been declar- ed some time ago as the will of majority of the Democrats of the coun- try. State after state declared It's
 preference for him and while 1t is pos sible that at one time during the con. venticn he might not have had the nec- essary two-thirds vote on the first bal. lot. the temper of the convention is such that it would have come on the
 second. There has never been any pros. pect of his defeat for the nomination aimee his forces went actively to work. Enough of them are in the convention to control it to the end and they would never permit another to be named. Making all due allowance for the noise that can be made to order on public
 occasions, and for the length of time it can be continued. there is no doubt of the fact that large majority of delegates and spectators are warmly his advocates and partisans.
 For many months active measures
 were adopted to stir up sentiment for
 him and to gather support. We know how long it was going on in Alabama. and what was done here was only m keeping with what was going on all over the Union. There was no general movement in favor of any other can didate and 1t has come to that pass, even for so high a position as that of President of the United States. that the man who wants to win must make light and a vigorous one at that. The fact that no generally organized eff. fort was made for any other candidate must be taken as evidence that the op- pensnts of Mr. Bryan realised that he was too strong before the people to be defeated for the nomination.
 Under these conditions the action of the majority should become the action of all and earnest. hearty and persist
 ent support should be given to the nominees. Mir. Bryan is well known. not only in every locality in the United States. but in every country where pso- pie read and civilized customs prevail. No one has ever uttered. in speech or print. word that reflects upon his character. He has shown himself to be e pure minded. upright. honorable man. He is outspoAen on public questions. and while hs may advance some ideas from which many of his party associates will vigorously dis- sent. he does not deceive them.
 As between him and Mir. Taft we cam not understand how any Democrat can waver as to where his vote should go. Mir. Bryan stands on most questions ia harmony with ancient and accepted Democratic doctrines and the platform
 on which he will stand gives hope
 to the country that under Demo-
 cratic auspices the best traditions of
 the government will be preserved.
