Grand Rennnniation.

One of the New York papers, an or
gan Of extreme conservatism, advises
the approaching conference Of Judge
Parker democrats to pronounce that,
inasmuch as a candidate who has been
three times defeated for the presi-
dency ought o to ask further
honors OF his party. therefore VIII
liam J.. Bryan should forthwith de-
clare that in no circumstances will
he seek or accept a fourth nomination
for the ONCE"
The flow Of argument proceeds to
set forth that the rank and file OF the
Cleveland and Tilden democracy will
have nothing at all to do with their
national party as long as 1t accepts
the leadership, the principles and the
~quadrennially recurring candidates. Of
Mr.. Bryan. Before they re-enter the
councils of the party he must vacate
the big chair.
This conservative organ, the Times,
admits that New York is ill-choaen as
the state in which the movement to
get rid Of Bryan should begin. But
1t must begin somewhere, and If New
York democrats make the demand it
thinks those Of other states will fol-
low, until presently they will attract
the attention of his reluctant ear.
It all has a degree of interest. All
true sportsmen like the thought Of
witnessing a heroic figure smethering
itself to rejoice It's enemies. But
there are other parties to be consid-
cred. The republican party may OBJ
ject to the inconsiderate destruction Of
It's surest asset. Bryan's fourth nom
nation, the republicans have reason
to believe, would reduce the demo-
cratic party to a few cotton states and
remove the element Of doubt from the
campaign. Possibly the republican
party, containing a vast majority of
the voters, does not care much about
seeing the Cleveland and Tilden ele-
ment substitute a bigger and ADLER
man for our own long-practiced Ne
braskan. 1t would compel the repub-
licans to figure on a different cam
paign.
In the light of experience, Cleve-
land and Tilden democracy is not to
be rated rs very good for the coun-
try. Taken with that is much repub-
lican inconvenience in forcing Bryan
to the grand ren~unciation. 1t is, on
the whole, better for the New York
organ to restrain itself on this point
of advice. The Saratoga conference,
the conservative organ sees with pain,
is not going to amount to much, any
way. The republican party dislikes
the thought Of losing Bryan and
thinks that the Times is passing be
yond it's business in taking It's present
course of unprecedented advice. Every
element in the country is satisfied
with Bryan as a fourth or ~tenth-time
candidate, except Judge Parker's
small band and a few southern demo.

Virginia's Change.

In spite OF differences of nominal
party faith and Of policy the essential
unity OF American character is shown
in ~utterances which come up from the
younger men Of the south. The pro-
gressive business men of this element
are getting each year holder and more
contemptuous in their statements that
the democratic party is not in accord
with southern interests and does not
deserve southern support.
In Virginia, for instance, the in
telligent young men are tired OF the
useless beating of the tom-tom over
the race question in politics and the
race question generally. Even at the
time OF the var there were not many
negroes In Virginia. John Brown
,made a blunder at that point The
present generation rather think that
the only race question is that there
are not quite enough negroes to carry
on industry. The republicans of bust
ness standing are disposed to ignore

to see the democrats absorb that vote
entirely and fight factionally to at
tract It, In both Virginia and Mary
land there is a strong feeling among
republicans that the negro vote is po-
litically a drawback and a drag on re-
publican progress.

Mann, the democratic nominee for

Our friend, Edgar Howard, is so often
the advance agent of Mr.. Bryan's sue
cessive paramounts hat we wonder II
he is foreshadowing the next demo-
cratic slogan in the following ebullition
taken from his Columbus Telegram:
The editor Of the Telegram believes the
time has come for the utter abolition OF
all our United States courts, save alone
the supreme court of the land. Those fed
eral Judges, because Of the evil Influence
which secures their appointment, must Of
necessity be unfit, as a rule, to sit at the
scales Upon which mice distinctions and
injustices are calmly weighedl''
We have 1t Of record that Mr.. Bryan
opposes appointment to judicial office,
and would have all federal judges
made elective If he could. But no.
where is 1t yet recorded that he is
ready to abolish completely all federal
courts below the supreme court, 1t
goes without saying that 1t would be
hard to do away with the supreme
court because it is a constitutional tri-
bunal, but a democratic president and
congress could easily repeal all the
laws creating subordinate federal
courts. This would be a fine para
mount issue on which to go before the
people in 1912.
Let the slogan be, abolish all fed
eral courts"

New York World.
Fabulous tales Of general prosperity con-
tinue to roll in from the west. The Roose-
welt panic of 1907. %esterners boast, never
touched them. For an unbroken success
sion Of years the faFmers have been blessed
with plenty HARVEST after harvest they
have gathered ~bountiful crops, their grana-
tles have groaned with wheat and corn,
their banks have ,been full to bursting
with stores of gold. Mortgages nave gone
out OF fashion and automobiles have come
In. The west is prosperous and does not
care who knows it.
Still, the west does not appear to be
happy, 1t has troubles that prey on its
mind. In spite Of natures smiles, 1t seems
restless, irritable and Disconnected by spells.
1t is a common saying with politicians that
prosperity makes people forget their
grievances. Somehow the rule does not
seem to work any more the other side of
the Mississippi. With dollar wheat and a
record corn crop in sight the honest farmer
is still grumbllng that the Aldrich tariff
revision was a fraud and that the trusts
got all the best OF IL. At the National Irri-
cation convention at Spokane was heard
the old complaint as loud as ever that
the corporations were grabbing the public
lands and power sites. At the Transmissis-
sippi Commercial Congress at Denver they
have started another movement for more
regulation of railroad rates.
1t is midsummer, congress is not in SEES
sion, politics is quiet, crops are first-class,
but for some reason peculiar to It's nervous
and moral makeup the west will not keep
still. 1t absolutely refuses to sit down
before the heaping board of prosperity and
look as If 1t did not care any more what
happened, Something ails 1t. like the baby
that feels a pin sticking it, and it does not
mind II it makes other people uncomfort-
able by raising a disturbance.

only 1,220 over 1908, says Van Norden's

westbound travel for the same period
shows about an equal average increase.
While from New York second and third
class travel fell off pereeptlbly this year,
this was due to the unusually heavy ex-
odus OF aliens, on account of the hard times

however, increased this year over 1908 as

 The feature of the first day and one in which the public showed most in- terest was a great barbecue dinner which was served free to all who en- tered the gats. More than a car load of beeves sheep and hogs were slaugl- tered to furnish the meats.
 Department superintendents state that the agricultural exh ibits are smaller than last year, but the quality is better. In the departments of wom- ems and children's york there are more and better exhibits than last year.
 The fair will continue through tie week. There will be several races for good sized purses each afternoon and a horse show will be had every night
