In bis very thorough exposition and analysis of Bryanism, published in Mon- | day's Bee, that veteran democrat, Dr. | | detinite ven out apy good authority, t in no sense wis some days ngo, lies It would remaind ald th ratisfacto aAssurances not oceur, is inds are nese defining the %, it was de rante y ird swe adhere to the | Powe this connte to be, ates ‘oss to avoid seorge L. Miller, directed attention to some things that are too little thought of by most people, but which he rightly | regards ¢ primary importance. He | stated one objection hie has to Mr. Bryan as follows: *“It Is his continuous and unreasonable assaults upon the estab lished institutions of his country, his unremitting attacks upon the rights of those who own sowething and his hos- tility to the courts and indirect assaults upon the constitution and law and order. A man who thus panders to the desires of the vicious, unscrupulous, envious and irresponsible members of society Is '|’ dangerous individual to place at the head of our government. His utter ances fn public tend to array class against class and to inculeate the rev olutionary spivit among the less for tunate of our people.” This is a perfectly fair statement of the character of Bryanism as ewbodied | in the Chicago platform and proclaimed by Mr. Bryan himself during the past four yeurs, Iu the campaign of 1806 his persistent effort was to create in the | popular mind hostility to capital and to | reay class against class. The farmers and wage-earners were told that they being ruthlessly crushed by the power, that the gold standard conspiracy to oppress and ruin He arraigned the capitalist as an enemy of the nd manufacturers and oth moneyed men ns hostile to labor and to the agricultural producers, The Chicago platform sailed the courts and particularly the supreme court of the United States and Mr. Bryan gave to this feature of the platform as hearty approval as he gave to any other feature. Mr. Bryan believes as fully today in every doctrine of the Chicago platform as he did four years ago. He insisted upon the reaffivmation of that platform at Kansas City and he_stands upon it now as completely as he did in 189, | His notitication address, while dealing almost entirely with “imperialism,” did not omit an appeal to class prejudic He declared that “the contest of 1900 is a contest between democracy on the one hand and plutocracy on the other,” 1 by way of indieating his real mean ing worked in his favorite platitude of the “dollar before the man.” There hax been no change in the opinion of Mr. Bryan regarding a single principle or policy declared in the Chicago platform, nor has he modified in the slightest de gree the views he proclaimed four years s wer mot was them. ¥ a people denoun ns ago, | features | eratic influences, | of the | wutes fr We repeat that too little thought is THE the I by the generally to of Bryanfsm to which Miller referred which prope characterizes as of primary importance They are in theie natnre essentially revolutionary and the suecess the party that advocates Iney tably have ernment and public WHAT IS THERE WRONG ABOUT T \ manifested in quarters, stimulated apparently by popo to question the action republican county committee in providing for the nomination of county commissioner at the coming convention by the delegates from the district which I8 to elect the commissloner rather than by the deleg itive county principle, however, that the peo ple who to elect a public officer should the determining voice in nominating him ig sound and not to be suceessfully assalled. 1 the principle is vlght, there is no reason why it should 1ot he recognized now and the precedent estublished for the fature ivrespective of has been done in the Ax well might the st uvention und take to nominate for this district its can didate for congress or its distriet judges as for the delegations of the commissioner district whose people alone or the officer to undertake to im nominee upon the district given people and he re of them would results inimical to good gov disposition some is tes from the I'he are have past outside vote pose This principle is precisely what the re- | publicans in the country precinets have for years been contending for and they live been the chief sufferers by reason of the old practice. Instances are numerous in which eity delegates have i nominations for commissioner in districts entirely in the country, with the result that the candidate has been repudiated by his people and snowed under at the election The legality of the call issued by the county ttee vesting the nomi nating of the commissioner in the dele m his distrlet eannot be called in question. This plan is pursued in many of the counties of this state and the certificates of nomination are duly recognized and @ pted. Under the primary election law county conventions and primaries are held subject to its own com | provisions and the rules adopted by the vegularly constituted authority, which in this case is the republican county coni mittee. No luwyer of reputation would venture to deny that the committee has acted fully within its powers and that a certificate of nomination given to the choice of a majority of the delegates from the commissioner district will hold good against any certificate of nomina tion that may be given by uny other | Lody or by the whole convention in con travention of this provision of the call The action of the committee, there fore, will not only stand the test of law, but also of right. And it should have the approval of every republicun, be- cause it puts in operation a principle which 1s right and which should have been observed all the time. Reports from Wyoming are most en- conraging to republican success in that state at the coming election. Wyoming has nothing in common with the silverite shoute Its sheep industry has been built up by the republican protective policy and its greatest need is capital to develop its resources, which can be se cured only when business confidence prevails. Wyoming has prospered mo since the election of MeKinley than in all its previous history and it ean show | its appreciation of this prosperity in no better way than by casting its electoral vote for MeKinley's re-election. The gold democrats in this neck of woods see no reason for going back to Bryan, but on the contrary express themselves as more opposed than ever » the vagaries he represents. The gold democrats include most of the leaders of the old democratic party in this state and their position at the present time in opposition to Bryan ought to have a de ‘ided influence upon democrats who want the party rescued from its pres ent management. The fortune left by the late Senator Ingalls is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars. The senator did not ac- cumulate much of this wealth by his public career, but it is certain that the sacrifice he made in entering public life was not entirely unapprectated, although he might with bis brilliant talents have ranked much higher financiaMy had his time and energy been devoted exclu- sively to the promotion of his own per- sonal interests, Bryan's local organ is now referring to the money paid to Spain under the Treaty of Paris as “the $20,000,000 we gave to Spain.” was ratified by the United States senate by the votes of popocratic senators in fluenced by Mr. Bryan, if any gift was made to Spain the popocratic candidate for the presidency will have to shoulder his share of the responsibility. is that Roosevelt heaping more insults on the Bryanites; raised is that he not ouly insulted the lll'junmw‘ in his St. Paul speech, but that he is adding insult to it from day to day.
