Show NO TROUBLE IN ILUrtOIS. Democrats plumed themselves upon Republican disaffection in Illinois to help them carry that Slate, but under the Inspiring Influence of the nomination nomina-tion of Dencen, the Republican ranks have closed up and the different factions fac-tions are marching solidly together under the banner of harmony and victory. vic-tory. That Is enough to encourage Republicans, Republi-cans, but if more encouragement Is needed, the Democratic parly has furnished fur-nished it in large chunks. They split wide open In their State convention over Hearst, and the breach was widened by that oily-tongued diplomat. William Jennings Bryan, calling the Winning faction train robbers right out loud In the National Democratic convention con-vention at St. Louis. "While, no one doubts that the diplomatic diplo-matic Mr. Bryan used strong language because the case demanded It, still even train robbers have somo rights that Democrats should be bound lo respect, re-spect, and they are naturally indignant indig-nant over Mr. Bryan's strictures. While all Democrats are not train robbers, rob-bers, nobody has denied that all train robbers are Democrats, especially in Illinois. Mr. Bryan has said so, and on the faco of. the returns, the ayes seem to have It. , But the 'train robbers arc indignant, just the same. They don't like Mr. Bryan any more than the famous firm of Missouri train robbers liked the Democratic Governor of Missouri who offered a reword for their capture dead or . alive, and more especially dead. Hence these tears. The anti-train robber faction of the Illinois Democracy has invited Bryan to make speeches in that State, but the train-robber faction quite naturally objects; and there you are. As the train-robber faction controls the Democratic Dem-ocratic machine In Illinois, It may keep Bryan out, but as Bryan is the only thing necessary to make the vote for Roosevelt unanimous, tho Republicans will pay the cost rather than have him stay away. Everything Is all right In Illinois and no mistake. |
