HEARsT,s VIEW OF BRYAN.

The return of William Randolpn
Hearst to the democratic fold, carry
Ing with 1t the support of Hearst's
string Of newspapers, was loudly &C
claimed few months ago. Mr..
Hearst now shows signs of wavering.
First he was defeated In his attempts
to secure control Of the Illinois dele
cation to Baltimore, and then Champ
Clark. the candidate he had been
pushtng. received a rude jolt from VIII
liam Jennings Bryan. Hearst now de-
clares that Bryan has DESTROYED demo-
cracy,s opportunity for success with
BRYAN leading democracy or debating
democracy's choice, Hearst says there
will be no democracy to follow. u a let
tar to his newspapers Mr.. Hear. says:
"Mr. Bryan stands and always mas
stood for dissension and defeat.
"Mr. Bryan denounces Champ clark
for being willing to receive the votes
OF New York state
"Yet Mr.. Bryan has always sought
the votes Of New York state in his
own support.
ain 1904 Mr.. Bryan was not candi-
date therefore he denounced Roger
sullivan on the floor Of the St. Louis
Convention as a train robber.'
"In 1908 Mr.. Bryan was candidate,
and he went through that campaign
ann in arm with Mr.. Sullivan and hand
An hand with Mr.. Murphy.
"If Mr.. Sullivan was train roboer,
IA Mr.. Bryan has said, then Mr.. Bryan
was no less an accessory after the fact
ana q willing receiver of the stolen
goods. -
= boss and Mr.. Sullivan is a boss and
Mr.. Taggart is boss, and as matter
az further fact Mr. Bryan is boss, as
insolent and arrogant as any boss
could possibly be, as Indifferent to the
viii ~ the people when 1t runs con-
+rarv to his own will and as defiant
of popular demands when they 40 not
coincide with his own desires.
"Mr. Bryan has DESTROYED the op-
nortunities Of democracy for success
md achievement. He has sacrificed
hts friends and stultifed himself and
his principles in order to crafty
mean jealousy and reap petty
revenge.
DEMOCRACY there will soon be no demo
crazy left to follow.
"A man without conscience OF char
acter will soon become man without
friends or followers.
"The only misfortune is that in ruin
ing himself he is bringing wreck and
min upon the democracy as we'll.

which was in fact only privilege,
and an honor conferred by the sover-
eign democracy Of the United States.
"He confuses in his mind the fact
that the democratic party, the great
rank and file got for him 6,500,00O
votes, with the egotistical and intoler.
able notion that he got for the demo
cratic party 100000 votes.
IL am firmly OF the opinion that
Bryan Is now and all the time has
been secretly a candidate for presi-
dent, and that his performance in this
convention has been for the purpose
Of stampeding the convention to him
self.
IT further believe that he has adopt
ed rule or ruin policy, and that he
would prefer republican success in
November to the election of any demo-
crat save himself.
"Mr. Bryan's attitude that because
q delegation votes for man 1t is
either the result of trade or implies
a criminal obligation is about the
most loathsome doctrine ever an
nounced by public man.
cts basic idea is that no delegation
is inspired by patriotic purpose, or
by any other view than selfish one.
This would reduce American politics
to a game so sordid and infamous as
to drive all decent men out Of public
life.
"Mr. Bryan cannot escape, this con-
clusion by claiming that he has limited
his assertion to delegation headed
by Mr.. Murphy because it is a we'll
known fact that Mr.. Bryan's man.
ayers sought the support of the New
York delegation at Denver.
1T Is also fact within my personal
knowledge, and for which vouch, that
when word was received Immediately
after the Denver convention that the
New York delegation, headed by Mr..
Lincoln to pay It's respects to Mr..
Bryan, Mr.. Bryan expressed his de-
light. went to the train, met them and
shook hands and fraternfzed with
them, and that he did this with Mr..
Murphy the same as with the other
members and the same as any candi-
date would do with the man who Is
prominent in politics in any portion Of
the country.
Now If 1t be true, as Mr.. Bryan
claims, that merely to accept the vote
of a delegation in convention implies
improper bargaining or villainous
obligation, then certainly the same
rule applies to soliciting or accepting
support OF a politician or members of
a delegation in the election itself. for
that is more important after all than
the nomination
John B. Stanchfie1d, a New York
delegate. furthered the harmony pro-
gram today by denouncing Bryan as
"that money grabbing. favor and
publicity hunting marplot from Ne
braska" He declared that no man
branded with Organism can come
within half million Of carrying New
York" and wanted Mr.. Bryan expelled
from the convention because he had
written for pay from the Chicago con.
vention.

THE DEMOCRATIC STRUGGLE.

THE DEMOCRATIC STRUGGLE.
mot since 1853 has another demo-
cratic national convention required
more than five ballots to nominate a
candidate for president" says the New
York World.
"In 1908 Bryan was nominated on
the first ballot In 1904 Parker was
nominated on the first ballot. In 1900
Bryan was nominated on the, first bal
lot. In 1896 Bryan was nominated on
the fifth ballot in the most turbulent
convention the democratic party had
held since 1860.
"In 1892 Cleveland was nominated
on the first ballot, and he was named
on the first ballot In 1888. In 1884,
when he was first candidate for
president, the second ballot deter
mined the nomination.. In 1880 Han
cock was named by the changes that
took place after the second ballot had
been taken and before the result was
announced. In 1875 Tilden was named
on the second ballot. and IN 1872
Greeley, who had been nominated by
the liberal republicans, was Endorsed
on the first ballot.
sTn 1868 there were twenty-five bal
lots taken before nomination was
reached. On that ballot Ohio gave
twenty-one votes to Horatio Seymour.
Those were all the votes cast for him,
but before the result could be an
nounced the convention had STAN
peded to Seymour and he was nomi-
mated
ut is an interesting fact that the
Baltimore convention has furnished
the most protracted contest for a
presidential nomination that the demo-
cratic party has had in forty-four
years"
