Can the democratic party act as a

tions one faction has defeated the 9th

Mr.. Bryan and Bryan democrats did
not vote for Mr.. Parker. DO the dif-
ferences which have eyentuated thus
fatally continue irreconcilable now
when success seems almost within
reach? What reason Is there to be-
lieve that, left to themselves, the rae
tions divided by the Alleghanies Will
coalesce without reserve? Can east
ern democrats be induced to accord
freely to Mr. Bryan the position, not
of dictator, but of leaaer, which Is
rightfully his until the next candi-
date for president shall be named?
Can Mr.. Bryan be persuaded to desist
from seeking truth in the well so con-
stantly that his vision is circumscrib-
ed to his own image? is n more toll
Grant, a more considerable, n more
respectful attitude on both sides with

Candor demands the admission that
eastern democrats have been unjust
to Mr., Bryan. To disavow what is
honestly believed to be false doc
trine. even to oppose a policy regard
ed as fatal or wrong, may be and Of
ten is conscientious duty. But 10

purposes without cause or proof, is
only to invite just resentment and
swift retribution. 1t is not surpris'

warfare upon plutocracy WHICH has
been continued unwaveringly and un-
ceasingly. If ever there was public
journal of proven independence and
unsusceptibility to wrongful influence
everybody knows that the New York

Mr.. Bryan be ignorant of the consist
emily high-minded and conscientious
course of the New York Times OF
that the only man whose advice with
respect to shaping its policy its pres
ent editor has ever sought or received
IS William Jennings Bryan. True,
there have arisen differences of opin.

whatever to assert that the views of
those journals have been one whit
less honest or less rightfully inten-
TONED than his own. whose perfect
sincerity may be granted. No fair
