A SAD SITUATION.

Says Brother Charlie Taft's excel
lent newspaper, the Cincinnati Times
Star:
Everybody's knows It will be no
child's play to beat Judson Harmon
this year. But II Republican orators
and Republican newspapers can get
the people OF Ohio to really go deep
into the issues of the approaching
campaign, to think over them and 10
understand them. there Is no doubt
of Republican victory in November.
A sad and deplorable situation. For
the greater part Of half century
the Republicans have controlled the
government of Ohio and the govern
ment Of the United States, but after
all these years the Ohio populace is
still ignorant. 1t has failed to learn
how good and kind and generous and
benevolent and sympathetic the Re
publican party Is. That Is what al
ways happens when a Grand Old Par
ty of Moral Ideas is SO modest and
shrinking and retiring that 1t persist
emily hides its virtues from the pub
lie eye.
In the meantime we observe that
the Hon. George B. Cox. more fan,il
iarly known as "Coxey. Old Boy" has
issued a sworn statement charging
Senator Burton with political treach
cry at the recent state convention
and that Senator Burton remarks In
reply, ct is time for the people and
the public men Of Ohio TO refuse to
submit to the bullying tactics OF a
man OF Cox's character"

would repudiate his leadership on his
proposal for county option. The signs
have been clear for weeks or months.
But Mr.. Bryan had fixed convictions
on the subject. II was to him great
moral question as well az the appll-
cation OF the principle of local SELF
government. He did not sulk or run
away. He did not try to dodge the Is
sue. He met 1t squarely and went down
to defeat insisting on the righteous
ness OF his position.
The chairman OF the convention had
in his speech warned Mr.. Bryan tnat
the convention would refuse to follow
his leadership. The chairman ADDED:
When this convention shall have
adjourned, our differences. / am
sure, Will be forgotten. and we
will all fall into our accustomed
places the leader in his and the
subordinates In theirs, to tight for
our platform and our party.
But Mr.. Bryan has more exalted
conception Of public duty than mere
party regularity. He did not accept
the dictum to fight for q platform
which be believed to be morally den
cient.

In q declaration issued two days
after the convention he called upon
the Democratic and Republican voters
alike to put up candidates favorable

Probably no other man In the his
tory Of American politics has 80 per
sistently survived defeat as has VIII
liam Jennings Bryan. His peculiar
faculty for holding the confidence and
affection of so great q following de-
spite the repeated reputation OF his
economic views by the nation Is itself
tribute to his personal integrity
and moral worth.
But Mr.. Bryan never went through
q defeat which tested his qualities as
that which he suffered in the Nebras-
ka Democratic state convention. NOT
even his high ambitions and keen dis
appointments In national politics were
so well calculated to give q true mea-
sure of Bryan the man as the virtual
repudiation Of his views on moral
issue by his own neighbors and par
~ coworkers.

claims to the respect Of the American

age. We have always conceded and
defended his high moral qualities even
while questioning his Judgment.
But there have been many who not
only assailed his political and econom-
ic doctrine, but who impeached his
moral courage.
Mr.. Bryan Is temperamentally and
by the force Of circumstances great
agitator. Because Of this supreme
talent and the passionate devotion 1t
aroused in his vast following. he has
seemed to some critics to be mere
demagogue. always seeking to ride on
the wave Of popularity whichever way
II rolled.
Thus Mr.. Bryan earned In some
quarters a reputation for being q
trimmer.
