BRYAN ATTACKS VIRGINIA.

By far the most daring thing that
William Jennings Bryan in his temp
estous political career ever attempted
was his endeavor last night at Balti-
more to have the convention destroy
the rights Of states to select their own
delegates and to throw Thomas r..
Ryan out of his seat as a member OF
the Virginia delegation. Mr.. Bryan
was undoubtedly actuatcd by his de-
sire for publicity but exceeded all
bonds of prudence. Even the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch, which has been
giving the Nebraskan hearty support
publishes the following editorial from
Baltimore:
"Well done, Mr. Flood; well done.
You acted like brave and patriotic
Virginian when you instantly reject
ed Mr.. Bryan's insolent proposal that
Virginia should unseat Mr.. Ryan as
delegate from the Tenth district. You
said rightly that Virginia had moth
ing to ask of Mr.. Bryan and would
ask nothing at his hands. The Times
Dispatch has not always agreed with
YOU, Mr.. Flood. We did not approve
election of Mr.. Ryan as delegate,
but that was a matter for the Virgin
ia Democratic convention and not for
Mr.. BRYAN. Mr.. Bryan had nothing
to do with it. His resolution aimed
at Virginia and New York, was as un-
called for as it was insolent, and All.
Flood resented the insult and repealed
the insinuation in way that was an
honor to himself and credit to the
Commonwealth.
"Will MIR. Bryan never learn? AT
Baltimore prior to his attack on VIZ
ginia and New York, he was the NOR
81 leader of the convention His power
if anything was strengthened by MS
f,rht on Parker although he lost. But
that power has been largely sacrlhceo'
The humblest delegate can dlstln-
ruish between moral leader and an
ignorant dictator. Mr.. Bryan decIar-
cd that his purpose in fighting Judge
Parker was solely to rid the Demo
cratic party of all faint OF suoservi-
ence to predatory interests. "lth
that purpose we agreed. But MI
BRYAN arrogated to himself the righ'
to attempt to censor the roll OF dele
gates from sovereign states, ms IN
science was met with Kisses and deri-
sion. The humiliation he INTENDED
fer others was poured in double meas
ure on his own head. And his repu,
tation for wisdom, for guidance aho
even for fairness, suffered grleVousty
What Murphy could not do to bryan
BRYAN did to himself"

History of the Case.

The history of the case. is ia brief.
as follows: The defendant, MeCdlli-
cuddy, claimed forfeiture OF lease Of
a large dry goods store in Lewiston,
which had been made to the company,
March l, 1908, for a period Of five
years, and which consequently does
not expire until March /, 1913, upon
the ground of non-payment Of rent
when due.
The plaintiff corporation claimed
that there was fraudulent collusion be-
tween the defendant and Louis Chabot,
who was then president and treasurer
of the corporation. and also between
the defendant, Edmond Cloutier Of
Waterville, to allow the rent to re-
main unpaid for the months Of No
vember and December, 1910. for the
purpose Of giving the defendant, Me-
Gillicuddy opportunity to claim a for
feiture of lease on account of non-p pay
ment of rent, and also to give new
lease to the defendant, C1outier of Wa
terville
Controversy and litigation had ex-
listed between the stockholders of the
corporation for the control of the COM
A1s@@+' ''AAANAA ANN Up - Tire IlGGultit SIT
uation. Upon the expiration of the
| two months for which the rent had not
been paid the defendant, McGnlicuddy,
did enter and take possession of the
| premises to enforce The forfeiture
claimed and received the. keys from Mr..
| Chabot. When Edward P Langley.
one of the directors OPPOSED to Mr..
| Chabot, learned of the proceeding. the
bill in equity was brought and all of
| the rent due deposited in the clerk S
office for the benefit of the defendant.
| McGillicuddy.
The defendant, Cloutier, admits that
when he received the new lease from
McGillicuddy he had information from
the latter that he was given the lease
subject to whatever rights the plaintiff
corporation may have had. In the
lease which MeGillicuddy executed to
| Cloutier an advance in rental was
made, over what the store was let for
to the plaintiff corporation, of $34 per
month.

ton equity ease of Chabot q Richard
Co. in equity VS.. j. r. McGillicuGdy.

evidence is not sufficient To show
fraudulent collusion. the facts in tho
case require the court to release the

in the occupation of the premises un-
til the expiration of the lease, which
