Will Be For BRYAN.

The State Democratic convention,
which meets next Wednesday will
be for Bryan. AS Senator Tillman
has said, whether or not tie conven-
tion instructs delegates to Denver
to vote for Bryan, it will express a
sentiment favorable to the nomina-
ton of Bryan so stronghold the del
egation to the national convention
which will certainly be bound by the
unit rule---can not fail to, support
the Nebraskan most earnestly and
sincerely, unless it would misinter-
pret the sentiment of it's constituent
cy.
We agree with the Charleston
Post that no man who is not prepar-
ed to work heartily and cheerfully
for the nomination of Mr.. Bryan at
Denver should offer or be offered to
the State convention for the office
of delegate, and if such candidate
should be presented the convention
would almost certainly reject him,
as it would have the power to do,
and as it would be justified in doing.
The State convention is going to
be a Bryan gathering and it is not
going to send forth as its represen-
tatives any other than Bryan expon-
entS,

FaVorS Unit Rule.

II is hard for Senator Tillman to
please The News and Courier in
what he says about the delegates
from this State to Denver. The
Senator and the News and Courier
both agree that the delegates should
not be instructed but they reach the
common conclusion from different
motives. The News and Courier
don't want them instructed because
it hopes to slip in All anti-Bryan del
egate or two, while the Senator
don't want them instructed because
he thinks ''it is foolish to tie up the
men who go to Denver when we
know that they would vote for
Bryan. anyhow. The Senator
went on to say that he believed in
the unit rule, which means that a
majority of the delegation would
determine for who our eighteen
votes would be cast. AS majority
of the delegates will undoubtedly
favor Mr.. Bryan they would cast
South Cardinals eighteen votes for
him, even should The News and
Courier manage to slip in an anti
Bryan delegate or two on the dele
cation. Therefore The News and
Courier says the Senator's notions
that the delegation, or the State
Convention for it. should adopt the
unit rule is illogical and unreason-
able" Those papers that can find
comfort in Senator Tillman's posi-
ton are easily comforted.

will have to confirm what he is
quoted as saying about Mr.. Cleve-
land before we will believe that he
was correctly quoted.
a Test Of strength.

A Rcpuu.ican from Vermont
puts the matter so clearly that we
adopt his letter written to the New
York World. 1t is good tonic for
some Of South Cardinals weak
kneed Democrats:
To the Editor of The World:
| am not an admirer of w. J. Bry-
an. neither am a Democrat. but the
result of the poll made recently by
the Success Magazine somewhat
amuses me. Last January that Pc
riodical sent out about $4,000 votes,
to be returned with preferred can
didates for the next president. The
subscribers to this magazine
must admittedly be men of more
than the average clear-headedness
and ability. The total number OF
Democratic preferences returned
was 1,404. Of these w. j. Bryan
had /, ,178: Gov. johnson 19l; Folk
%, and Judge Gray IL. Or, in other
words, Mr.. Bryan. the gentleman
who you are saying every day can
carry only one small corner Of this
country, received 1873 per cent. OF
the total; johnson, the Democrat
who you seem to think is as liable as
any to carry New York and Pennsyl-
vania, 1876 per cent, while Judge
Gray, the gentleman for Delaware
whose carrying abilities you have
been expounding to considerable
extent, received 8 of ! per cent.
From this result, gathered from
| all parts of the country. the East as
we'll as the West and South, it al
most seems as if you had been in q
measure mistaken in your conclu'
sions that Mr.. 5ryan was politically
dead and buried and that johnson
or Gray should take up the standard
he had let fall and bear it on to vic
tory.

Hydrophobia Increasing.

It is reported that hydrophobia is
increasing alarmingly in the United
States. This is the conclusion reach
ed by Government experts, who have
examined the subject. They say the
disease is not confined to any partic-
ular section of the United States but
is generally prevalent throughout the
country. The report on the subject
strongly recommends that all dogs be
muzzled. and the declaration is made
that the disease cannot be stamped
out until the dogs are muzzled for a
period of several years. The exper-
ience OF some European countries is
cited to show that only by the muz-
zling Of dogs can the disease be ab-
solutely eradicated. -.

Has Senator Tillman Changed.

The Columbia correspondent Of
The News and Courier quotes Sena-
tor Tillman as saying that if the
Democrats could get man who
stood for the same things that Grow
er Clevelsnd stands for in national
politics he would sweep the country
for President. We believe the cor
respondent misunderstood Senator
Tillman, for there has been no more
bitter hater Of Mr.. Cleveland perso-
nally nor more violent opponent of
Mr.. Cleveland's policies and politi-
cal acts than Senator Ti!lman. Yet
according to this correspondent ne
is made to say that Mr.. Cleveland is
now the exponent of the popular
sentiment; The CORRESPONDENT
may nave so understood Senator
Tillman but we do not believe he
said or meant any such nonsense.
If Senator Tillman has changed
his views on Mr.. Cleveland and his
acts while he was President, as this
correspondent says he has, we are
sure he is wrong in supposing that
the people of this country want a
man of Mr.. Cleveland's type and
persuasions to preside over the af-
fairs of the republic. A man of Mr..
Cleveland's beliefs would have no
chance of election tc the presidency
today. Such a man was Judge Par
ker, whom the Democrats nominat-
ed four years ago in the persuasion
that the country would elect a con-
servative candidate for the Presi-
idency. The error of that estimate
was fearfully and forcefully demon
strated at the polls.
If Senator Tillman really believes
that Mr.. Cleveland is wanted by the
American people he is certainly
wrong in his opinion that William
J. Bryan can be elected over VIII
liam H. Taft. Mr.. Taft is a Repub-
lican and not Democrat and his
theory of government is essentially
wrong, yet he undoubtedly repre-
sents more nearly the views enter
tanned by Mr.. Cleveland as expressed
in his actions while President than
Mr.. Bryan does. In fact, there is
no similarity whatever between the
views of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Bryan. They are as far apart as q
friend tc the classes and friend OF
the masses can well be in their ideas
of government. Senator Tilllnan

Most Popular and Powerful.


The Richmond Times-Dispatch
says beyond any peradventure OF
doubt, the two most popular and
powerful citizens in the United
States today are l'neodore Roosevelt
and William Jennings Bryan. Both
are feared and abhorred by many OF
their party leaders, and both are
idolized by hundreds Of thousands OF
their fellow citizens. tits this per-
sonal prestige and this enormous
hold on the masses that have given
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan
their extraordinary position as lead
ers. The remarkable feature in
the career and power of these two
men is the fact that neither Of them
are deep thinkers, wise counselors
or trained statesmen.
.There must be some reason for
the almost reverential attitude
which the real followers of Mr.. Bry-
an and Mr.. Roosevelt feel towards
their leaders, and the explanation is
to be found in the fact that these
two men have risen up to teach
morals at time when morality was
more needed than craftsmanship.
In preaching their crusade against
materialism both Mr.. Bryan and Mr
Roosevelt have been led into decla.
nations with which The Times-Dis.
patch can not agree. Both have
made charges which can not be
proved, and both have offered RENE.
dies which would be entirely ineffec'
tive or disastrous.
s'But despite these mistakes MIR
Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt alike have
stood for manhood before money
and for the inalienable and glorious
rights of the individual to live MS
own life under that freedom fol
which the fathers of the republic
died. But the heart of the Amerl'
can people understood and sympa'
thized with the real motives OF both
preachers. And the good sense OF
the American people epierced
through the frequent claptrap and
demogogy to the underlying prlnci'
pie. Again we have seen it demon,
strated that the heart has its reasons
which the head does not under
stand.''
The Charleston Post says "that is
unquestionably the condition Of the
peoples mind today, and that ac'
counts for the prevalence of the
Bryan sentiment and persistence OF
the Roosevelt legend. There is an
essential difference between the two,
however, for while Mr.. Bryan has
been spreading an evangel Mr..
Roosevelt has been capitalizing a
sentiment. Mr.. Bryan is a sincere,
devoted radical, and, in many things
misled, reformer. Mr.. Roosevelt
has caught the trend of the public
mind and put it to political purpos-
es. To the end Mr.. Bryan will con-
tend Gor what he thinks is right for
and beneficial to the people. Mr..
Roosevelt will contend for what he
thinks the people want--until they
change their minds or he changes
judgment of their views. And this
distinction the people are finding
