The result of the democratic con-
vention at Denver, is Bryan and
Kern. 1t looks as if the latter's
nomination for the vice presidency
is a practical remuneration of New

Mr.. Bryan can hardly be elected
without New York, while Mary

If any of our Essex county mil
lionaires contribute $4,000 to, the
national republican campaign fund
they will see their names in the
papers, sure. Judge Taft shows
both diplomacy and good faith in
this regard. What the national
republican convention declined 10
talk about, he has done distinctly
and emphatically in ordering that
the republican campaign expenses
shall be made public.

1t is again evident that many
conservative democrats will break
away from Mr.. Bryan. Several
leaders have already given out
statements declaring their inten-
ton to vote for William H. Taft,
among others Eugene w. Leake,
democratic member of Congress
for the fourth district of New
Jersey, who has offered his services
to the republican nominee during
the campaign.

Ninth and Farnam.
