If he should not he elected he could still ho state senator. Mr. Bryan as it is to ourselves, and for that reason we do not believe that he would wreck his own political future by bolting Mr. Clevelands nomination. It is, on the other hand, con- ceivable that he might refuse to support Mr. Gorman, because he would foresee that his opposition to the Maryland senator would be fatal at ,the ballot box, and would thus offer a conclusive proof of his own political influence. We repeat, what we have often pointed out, that, as against any nominee except Cleveland, Mr. Bryans influence is a factor that a Democratic national convention cannot afford to overlook. Conference is Here! the Democratic ticket. He replied that he did not want it. He also made the same remark to Truth. But inasmuch as the party proposes to make no campaign assessments and will not call on its candidates to make speeches or attend meetings it is quite likely that Mr. Dern will be induced to accept. $1.00 . St St What we have in mind is not, of course, the obvious fact that if Mr. Bryans friends in the convention shall muster a third of its members they will be able to vote the nomination of any man objectionable to themselves. We assume, on the con trary, that the Bryanites will fall short of controlling a third of the delegates. Not on that account, how ever, should we regard Mr. Bryans influence as, under all circumstances, a negligible quantity. His followers are by no means confined to those states wherein they constitute the dominant element in the local Democracy, which states, however, are almost certain to be swept by the Republicans in 1904. His adherents are numerous enough in each of the four doubtful states New York, New Jer sey, Connecticut and Indiana to turn the scale against any Democratic except' Mr. nominee, Cleveland, Mr. whom should openBryan against ly and inflexibly protest. Democrats should look facts in the face; and recognize, in view of recent election returns, that neither Senator Gorman nor Olney could carry the four doubtful states which we have named should a bolt be organized by Mr. Bryan. Cleveland could 'survive the concerted defection of the Bryanites, as he proved in 1892. In that year nearly a million votes were cast by the Populists, yet the figures show that for every vote drawn from the Democrats by Weaver, .the Populist candidate, Mr. Cleveland attracted two votes from the Republicans. In spite of the Weaver movement, which it was supposed would certainly defeat him, Mr. Cleveland beat Mr. Harrison not only in the latters own state, Indiana, and, in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, but even in Illinois and Wisconsin, ry UAimmmamAiimmmiiiiiil KRUGS OMAHA BEER.
