LORIMER NOT RESICNINC.

From the Wilmington News.
Senator Lorimer seems to have decided
that il would be far more spectacular TO
be fired than to resign under fire. He
has that right.
From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
We don't like to appear unsympathetic.
but il certainly does seem IL Senator
Lorimer timed HIS illnesses with good
deal OF attention to the date of the next
investigation.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch
If Senator Lorimer prefers to be fired"
rather than politely shown the way out
is that there are senators 10 do il.
From the Richmond yirginisn.
Iorimer asks time to get strong" to
make his speech in self-defense. The
senator has been getting stronger for SO
long a time that We shudder to think

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Lorimer isn't different Even the man
who pushes a hot lawnmower over the
White House lawn would rather swear
than resign.
From the Duluth Herald.

for him In the Senate was that he was

1S96-1o12.

In the speculation about the republican
situation. the proposition is advanced that
the anti-Roosevelt men will have as
strong a reason for rejecting Mr.. Roose-
velt's nomination If it is made as the
anti-silver democrats had for rejecting
Mr. Bryan's nomination in 1885, VIII
they not have a stronger reason or
more plausible pretext, if they choose to
invoke it?
Free silver was not new democratic
doctrine in 1896. The party, in Congress
and out had often stood for 1t. Leading
southern and western democrats had been
promising it to their constituents for
years. Even in the campaign which had
resulted In Mr. Clevelands return to the
White House the assurance had been
given to the silver men that si1vers in
terests would not be injured in case OF
democratic success.
1t was this state of case which gave
force to Mr.. Bryan's arraignn1ent of the
men who on principle in defense Of the
national credit bolted his nomination in
his first race. His friends had foisted no
new doctrine on either the party or the
attention of the country. He was stand
ing on a platform constructed Of season
ed democratic timber. and his nomination
had been made with entire regularity.
Hence. he insisted, he was entitled to the
full support OF his party.
Mr.. Roosevelt. on the other hand. Is at
tempting to foist on his party not only
new doctrines, but doctrines more radical
than have ever before been advanced by
any political leader in this country. His
attitude toward the courts, and his pro-
gram for the correction of evils that have
crept into judicial proceedings, have al
most taken away the breath of men
older than himself in party service, and
eminent for good party counsel. They
are not only not in sympathy with him
in his new position. but do not regard.
the position as republican at all.
Let us suppose. then. Mr.. Roosevelt
emerging from the Chicago convention
not only the nominee for President, but
the author of platform constructed in
accordance with his recently acquired and
expressed opinions He cannot accom-
plish such a result without a struggle in
which the whole question Of what is and
is not republicanism will be canvassed.
Especially will his own state Of New
York contest the way.
In such circumstances what will the
more earnest Of old-style republicans do?
Bow to the decision and accept the new
style party doctrine? Or go into retreat
and await a better day? Or put up a
ticket of their own pledged to the old
faith? Or go over to the democrats and
help put the seal Of prompt defeat on
the Objectionable propaganda?

chairman OF the committee-easily

piece of work. and done with ease. II
Wilson had been the product OF sour
beer and free sausage, and Of pinocle
played in barrooms all his days. he
could not have carried himself with
more assurance"
How was he dressed?"
I'm roomy clothes for travelling. A
sack suit, with soft hat modishly
guttered across the top. HIS togs and
his address were the very things for
the occasion

The two most successful Presidents

success while in office. Mr.. Lincoln

knew Mr.. Mckinley. Did you ever
meet a more charming man anywhere?"
Never But in his case the mixer
was merged in the trained politician
and experienced legislator. Wilson,
you know has had no training at all
except as bircher of obstreperous
boys and a lecturer to young men,.
still. it is much in politics to be
able to shake hands we'll, listen well.
and put flurried visitors at their ease.
I'm thinking better of Wilson since
seeing him save that wabbly chairman

Bryan and Roosevelt.

There is perceptble rise in Bryan
stock. More men than ever before are
discussing probabilities in case of a dead
lock al Baltimore. \ deadlock is in the
calculations OF many democrats Mr.
Clark has lead which he should he able
to maintain. but unless some of the other
hooms are utilized for him in pinch, he
will not at the opening of the convention
command the two-thirds necessary 10
nomination. If. therefore. the nomination
has to be fought for in the convention,
the ballotings may become acrimonious
and a new name imperative
Mr. Bryan did not desire the nomination
in 1891. and several reasons figured in the
gossip. One was that he considered Mr..
Roosevelt invincible that year. He saw
Mr.. Hannas opposition to the Roosevelt
leadership collapse. and he argued from
that full republican support for Mr.
Roosevelt at the polls. He believed 1T
was, as il turned out to be, Roosevelt
year.
In 1905 Mr. Bryan doubted Mr.. Roose-
veIt's ability TO transfer his strength to
Mr.. Taft and SO he decided TO try his
fortunes against the man OF Mr.. Roose-
velt's choice. He was mistaken in his
his party remained unimpaired. and his
support of Mr. Taft was a large factor in
the latter's success. both at Chicago and
later in the campaign.
In the opinion of the Bryan men the
Roosevelt of 1904 and 1898 has passed.
An extreme radical has succeeded pro-
gressive republican. In other words. Mr.
Roosevelt has progressed out of his
party. and is now the leader of new po-
litical thought.
And so il is that the Bryan men. noting
Mr.. Roosevelt's progress toward Chicago.
and believing that he will triumph there.
see republican confusion as the result,
and think Mr.. Bryan the man of all men
hest able to turn it to democratic account.
They want him pitted against Mr.. Rocse-
Welt in a contest where the garments
which Mr.. Roosevelt has borrowed from
Mr. Bryan will be in evidence. and the
added to his toilet will make him figure
too fantastic for national approval
Unquestionably such a contest would be
exciting in the extreme Mr.. Roosevelt
has no eloquence, but as an agitator is
unrivaled in his day. Mr.. Bryan has
eloquence. and IL is as captivating today
as when. sixteen years ago, ii made him
a national quantity of the first class.
Each would take the stump in advocacy
of his claims and cause and the two
itineraries would stir the country as
never before in all our hundred and odd
years of history.
