Not On the Retired I.I.t.

Since Mr.. BRYANs return to Nebraska
after his tour among the Governments Of
South America. which accorded him the
honors he expects and solicits a. a can
didaie for President Of the United States.
there have been signs Of decline in his
popularity az home. As he carried the
state by plurality Of t.IO2 in 1905 and
helped measurably 10 elec; a Demo
cratic Governor and Legislature Mr..
BRYAN ought TO he in high favor with his
party in Nebraska and il should listen 10

Al least such il his view Of their rela-
tons. On the contrary, II has turned a
deaf ear to his advice and given him 10
understand that he ia a marplot The
Legislature il Democratic by IS on joint
ballot. bu, il frowned on Mr. BRYANs
proposal Of an extra session TO establish
the initiative and referendum in the
state. aud his county option ISSUE has
SCI the party by the ears.
II n clear that the Democrats Of
Nebraska share the judgment Of Demo-
Gratis in other States. that Mr. BRYAN
has had his day as a leader Of the party
and now thst there is a fair prospect Of
eleCiing a President should take his
place in the ranks and fling sWay ambi-
ton. But he has no idea oi doing any-
thing Of the kind Mr.. BRYAN IN his
personal organ has just announced his
plans Tor the summer After giving
his itinerary and speaking engagements

In pursuance Of the absurd and friv-
OlOus proceedings which have CharaC-

pared the document az the instance of
