We are pleased to note that the In

J. O'Brien superintendent of the at a to
little bearltg and all wbo knows of
his dictatorial qualities, simply laugh
at hia audacity.
Every democrat elected to the In
coming legislature has, or will have,
eyea opn to the scheming of Poul
son, the bois of the Anti-Saloon lea
gue. He wants county option to come
before everything ebe, and why? Be
cause If he can get the democrats di
vided, and a bad feeling to eiist be
tween the county option and anti-op-
tlonlsts, the republicans will be able
to organize the house. The first duty
of democrats Is to organize the bouse,
select committees, etc., before any
thing elite Is done.

But if the Journal means by "In
surgency," the bolting of the demo
cratic caucus by democrats, without
provocation. In the very beginning of
the session, and the denial of the
right of the democratic majority to
organize the legislature, then the
World-Herald would be opposed to It,

nryan. Hut suppose the democrats
did not so consider It, then what ter
rible rumpus there would be. But
seriously, because Mr. Bryan Is re
cognized as the leader of the demo
cratic party of the state Is no reason
why "Brother Charley" should at
tempt to tell the democrats what "I
think," and attempt to dictate to
them. Had It not been for "Brother
Charley," Mr. Bryan would have
fared better and had more friends In
the state than he has now.
But since Charley has gone, no
doubt, the democrats will attempt to
worry along and perhaps organize
the legislature according to the plat"
form adopted at Grand Island, even
It they do not have to consult the In
structions left for their government
