Bryan, tke Prophet With a catchy phrase William Jennings Bryan eaptund the nomination for the Presidency at Chicago and four years later compelled his sec ond nomination at Kansas City. In both cam paigns his mouth was an important factor and with strenuous vocal effort he managed to dis- semminnte his views from ocean to ocean Thousands watched his long-winded performance with amazement, but they were not convinced. They cheered the young man as one might cheer a champion long-distance pedestrain or pugilist, but his availability as a candidate for the Presi dency did not appeal to the long-headed men of his jwrty. Defeated a second time it was supposed the prophet of the West would retire from public view, but Mr. Bryan is not of a retiring nature. He evidently suffers under the delusion that he is the only real thing in the Democratic party and all others must make way for him. His prophecies uttered with which freedom and free- quency in his former campaigns all failed of fulfillment. Calamities which were to overtake the nation did not come to pass and his wail of pessimism was drowned in the hum of busy in dustry. But Mr. Bryan was not discouraged. His hopeful and sanguine nature rises above the failure of his prophetic vision and ouce more he prauces into the ojien with predictions to burn. Cleveland and Hill and Gorman may imagine for brief period that they are going to reconstruct the Democracy on new lines, but the great pub lic can already see the shadow of Bryanism fall ing athwart their schemes and hear the voice of the prophet utter his denunciations. Bryan will either carry the party standard in 1904 or dictate who shall bear it aloft. Thev can't lose him and his recent speeches have serv ed to chill the reviving enthusiasm of the Demo crats throughout the country who were hopeful of reorganization without Bryan. He insists upon lieing heard and every time he opens his mouth the gold Democrats and those who believe that our prosperity is a condition and not a theory groau in spirit. But the voice cannot be stilled. The anti-imperialists have broken out again. This time their frenry takes the form of an open lettet to the President, who is asked to read a tale of woe that is heartrending from the anti imperialists point of view. The fulmination oc cupies considerable space which might be used to much better advantage in certain well-con ducted newspapers. I he weeping signers of this woeful document describes the lai.nd-like Filipinos as a much-abused eople and our sol diers as a lot of cut-throats and marauders. Our civil and military authorities are held up as merciless wretches bent upon murder and ra pine and not a word is said in extenuation. It is not possible that any consideration number of citizens of the United States share these views. There are indications throughout the State that the Republican couuty leaders are thorough aroused to the importance of the (vending cam- paign. ine work necessary to get out the vote is being taken up in time and the Bryan aggre gation will find it difficult to covince the intelli gent voters of this State that Bryan is not the paramount issue. Mr. Pattison has proven him self a devoted follower of the Nebraska Mtrophet and his candidacy for Governor cannot be scp- erated irom the Kansas City platform. Of course, the Democratic managers in this State will endeavot to persuade innocent voters that alleged State issues are paramount, but with a full delegation in Congress to be elected no in telligent man will be fooled. The Democratic talk of Hill, Gorman, or any new man for a Democratic Presidential candi date sounds like some awakening spark of com mon senae in that party whatever may be said of their chances. Cleveland served eight years in the lute House without being able to build up or fctrenguien the Democracy. Br) an secur ed two Presidential nominations aud failed ig nominiously of election. These two leaders have practically monopolized the Democratic party for twenty years and have brought it nothing but disaster and dissension. It is no wonder that there is a strong sentiment in favor of push ing them aside and putting up some new man. C01RT HOL'SE CHIPS. Deeds Entered for Record.
