q Clark man, and at the head OF the
Nebraska delegation to the conven-
ton instructed for Mr.. Clark.
In all the early ballotings at Baltt.
more Mr.. Clark maintained a promis-
ing lead, Mr.. Bryan voting for him.
Then came Mr.. Bryan's dramatic de.
sertion Of Mr.. Clark for Mr.. Wilson,
and from that ballot Mr.. Clark was
doomed. Charging In effect that Mr..
Clark vas In alliance with and the
hope Of the predatory interests, Mr..
Bryan blacklisted the Missourian and
whitelisted the Jerseyrhan. And the
convention, under Mr.. Bryan's inspir-
alton, did the rest.
So that II was Mr.. Bryan who led
Mr.. Wilson out OF the house OF the
Cleveland bondage, and into that Of
the Bryan freedom. 1t was Mr.. Bryan
who showed Mr.. Wilson the error of
his way, and planted his feet in the
path OF the new democracy. To Mr..
Bryan Mr.. Wilson owes his n0mina.
ton, and Mr.. Bryan will be the star
stumper OF the Wilson campaign, In
a way a more interesting figure than
the candidate himself.
Mr.. Clark, slaughtered thus by his
friend, is older in the progressive
household than Mr.. Wilson, more ex-
perienced in politics. and with q con.
g%resslonal record bearing upon the
leading issues scheduled for discus
sion between now and November. He
will support the ticket, but considers
himself the victim of an outrage, and
holds Mr.. Bryan responsible.
Here, then, is a progressive candi-
date, nominated by the leader of the
progressive wing of the democracy,
and certain If elected to respond to
the influence OF his creator. Mr.. Bry-
an as n head OF the Wilson cabinet
is a reasonably safe guess. win the
democratic conservatives rally to the
nomination? Some Of their captains
are pledging support? August Bel
mont Is among the number.
The platform is we'll written, and
covers many subjects. Attention will
fasten on trusts and the tariff, and
especially as respects the promise of
a strictly revenue tariff as soon as
one may be written with safety to
present America ninvestments. We
may have such a campaign on that
subject as was precipitated by Mr..
Cleveland by his message of Deem
Der. 1887, when Mr.. Blaine in an inter.
view responded with the charge of
free trade.
