Louleville, Ky, June 11.—Henry Watterson in tbe Courler-Journal, in espousing the cause of W. J. Bryan for President in 1908, says the Nebraskan is at the best of his powers, and if the party cannot be united upon him, upon whom else can they get together? He declares that the Republican party isa mam- moth trust and is the greatest of all syndicates. “There is @ moral awakening,” says Mr. Watterson. “There is a popular revulsion and uprising. There must be a thorough overhaul {ng of the system. The Courler- Journal accepts the situation heart- fly. 16 {8 a Democrat pure and simple. It nurses nether sores nor scores, Nothing has ever entered the head of it about Mr. Bryan which it did not long ago kick out at the heel, and it proposes to labor earnestly and unceasingly to make his election an accomplished fact, The recent Democratic state con- vention at Jefferson City was notable weather drees among the delegates. Panama hats prevailed. The old time Democratic dress was not in evidence. .The Tribune’s reporter saw only two of the old time slouch hats. Colonel Henry A. Newman of Randolph county would not change his hat any more than would Colonel J. West Goodwin. The latter is be- Heved to have obtained his head- gear at the time the Mormons were driven out of Missouri. Is is sup- posed that some Mormon elder lost {t when the saints were driven out of Caldwell county and that Colonel Goodwin found it and has worn it on state occasions ever since. Col. Newman {a thought to have obtain- ed his hat in the mountains of Tennessee while Bnchanan wae mak- ing hie race for the Presidency. Gov- ernor Dockery, it is said, wore shoes for the first time since he had his first pair of red top boots as aschool boy in Linn county. 4 Oklahoma Letter.

Everything {s on the boom, but the weeds are ahead of all. Peach trees are heavy laden with peaches; there will bea fair crop of nectarines, some prunes, grapes, cur- rents and plums to a finish.

Bryan of Nebrarka as the leadiug Democrat of the nation and the most likely Democratic candi- date for president in 1908. More- over, he gave the most poeltive as surance thas Kicdard Croker and Tammany would line up toa man for the nomination of Bryan in 1908. Sullivan is notanew convert to the Bryaa propaganda. When the leaders of the New York Democracy were denouncing Mr. Bryan, Sullivan predicted that within a Jew yeurs they would be singing on the vther side of their mouths. He has been telling with great gle of his prophecies. “Yes elr,” said Mr. Sullivan, “Bryan will be the next nominee and the next President of the United States. New York will go into the convention with a solid Bryan dele gation, and Mr. Croaker will head it. “After she last National Conven: tion, Mr. Croker declared that if he ever went to another Democratic Nattone! Convention he wanted to be able to cast a vote for Bryan, and this time he will get the chance. “The railroad, insurance, beef trust and other scandals have open- ed our eyes regarding Bryan. The fellows who told us down in New York that he was a demagogue are the fellows who are now dodging. The people are just getting on to the fact that Bryan was telling the truth. The men who tried to give him atough reputation have got all they can do now to protect their own, “Six years ago we used to look up these fellows and pay attention to what they said, but they can’t get an audience to-day. They did the speech-m aking, and, more than that, they raised the money to beat Bryan. Butthey would have hard times getting anything in the way of campaign contributions right now. ‘ “There is another, thing to be taken into consideration. Did it ever occur to you that Bryan is to- day the moat conservative man of force and character in the United States? We thought he was pretty wild when he was talking about free end unlimited coinage, but if he was @ demagogue, what have you got to say about the fellows who are play- ing to the galleries nowadays? “While a lot of people have been running wild because of scandals in public affaire, Bryan has not lost his head. He still stands for the constitution, and when you get to talking about safe, sane and coneer- vative candidates you have toadmit that he is about the safest and sanest of the coming crop.” Our County Ticket. Rich Hill Review. The Democratic county ticket is the voters of old Bates. It does not contain a single weak man. The ticket is well located and represents the different sections of the county. The defeated candidates of any con- sequence have everyone declared ever the Democrats go to the polls can be induced to go to the polls in November, they will carry Missouri by from 35,000 to 40,000 plurality. If those who are in control of the party machinery will devise some means of getting out a full vote, there can be no question about the result. One very good way to get out this vote is for those in control of the party ma- chinery to admit that they do not posess @ monopoly of all the good politicts in the State, and that it is less chill tonic.
