It is thought by some of the national

throwing away all chances of success

Tho henry hand of tho administra
tion was laid upon tho Republican na
tional commltteo in order to forco it to
do tho Roosevelt will in 'determining
contests for delegates to Chicago.
Renlly it was a llttlo "raw," as tho po
litical phraso goes, for Mr. Hitchcock,
who managed tho Taft campaign,
to appear In tho commltteo with a
proxy for hlmsolf nnd with proxies for
two salaried Tnft employees. Tho situ
ation was somewhat remlulflccnt of n
convention of Mr. Hearst's Independ
ence league in which all tho Independ
ent statesmen present wero on tho pay
roll of tho Henrst newspapers.
After the Convention, What?
Of courso the first trick In tho an
tlonnl political gamo la to get nomi
nated, but Secretary Taft is likely to
unu out mat uiu tlrst trick Is not tho
wholo gamo. Tho heavy hand with
which his nomination has been prac
tically forced has left Its black and
bluo spots on tho body of tho Re
publican party, nnd tho sufferers aro
not likely soon to forgot them. When
the earnest ndvocntcH of such lifelong
Republicans as Speaker Cannon, Sonn
tor Knox. Scnntor La Follctto nnd Vice
President Fnirbnnks withdraw from n
meeting of tho Republican nationnl
commltteo with tho statement thnt tho
commltteo wns packed nnd was' not
gathered to do Justice to nil factions,
but merely to forco ono candidate upon
tho party, it portends ovll nnd disaster
for thnt candidate. That was tho out.
como of tho first two sessions of the
Republican national commltteo.
Given u tight within the organization
of his own pnrty, with tho bitter hos
tility of organized labor, which has
exceeded in extent nuythlng which two
mouths ago nny ono could havo sus
pected; with tho negro vote, which in
tho tier of states north of tho Ohio
river almost holds the balanco of pow
er, nnd with the revolt of tho old
soldier element duo tp his almost in
credible folly in attacking General
GrarJt In an oration dellverod at
Grnnfs tomb and in tho prosenco of
Grant'B son, Socrotary Taft will face
soino political troubles after tho con
vention which ho and Roosevelt con
trol goal! havo nominated him. ;
The Demooratlo Outlook.
So far as tho Denver-convention is
concerned, lta outoomo has ceased to
bo in any doubt whatsoever. Mr.
Bryan will bo nominated on tho flrat
ballot, will dominate tho convention
and therefore will bo ablo to avert
tho tlmo honored practice of thoso who
deslro to commit treachery of writing
n platform upon which tho cnndldato
cannot Btaud. Tho most bitter news
paper opponont of Mr. Bryan concedes
to him enough votes to bring him with
in sovonty-two noccesary to nomina
tion up to Juno 7. I am quoting from
tho Now York World. But tho World
puts Pennsylvania, Rhode Island nnd
Connecticut In tho unlnstracted and
tho hostilo column. Out of those states,
no ono of which adopted tho unit rule,
Mr. Brynn wll not get less than sixty
votes. It describes tho six votes pt tlie
District of Columbia ns contested. The
ronteBt Is the veriest farce, and in all
probability the contesting delegation
will never go to Denver.
Two Possible Vice Presidents.
Tho talk of tho nomination of John
Mltcholl for vlco president does not
down. If ho wero really seeking it
or if friends wore seoklng It for him
witli nny sort of concerted effort ho
would, in my Judgment, bo nominated.
But Uioro Is n concerted effort in Illi
nois to secure his nomination for gov
ernor of that Btato. Tho argument Is
mndo that with Mitchell for governor
In tho Btato In which ho was brought
Ul) and in Which ihn wil mtnnru nn
only less numerous than thoy aro in!
iennsyivnuia tho stato would be
swuug as readily as If ho wero on tho
national tlckot If that courso should
bo adopted It would be poeelblo to
get tho Mitchell strength In ono state
and put a candidate on tlo national
tlckot who mfght swing another stato.
Tho work that Is being done for Rep
resentative Francis Burton Hnrrlson is
being conducted something along this
Hue. Mr. ITarrlson Is ablo nnd de
servedly popular. His family is one
of the best known in tho south, his
fnthor having been secretary to Jeffer
son Davis and having been arrested
when tho deposed president of tho
"lost cause" was captured. Mr. Harri
son is well known on tho Pacific coast.
The Fight For Congress.
Chnlrmau Lloyd of the uatlonal Dem
ocratic congressional committee has
opened headquarters Ip the Union
Trust company building in Washing
ton and is prepared to send out docu
ments to till Democrats or others de
airing information on tho Issues of tho
coming congressional campaign. Mr.
Lloyd has begun his work with a vigor
thnt argues Well for Its outcome. In
deed, tho situation politically is such
ns" to encourage a Bturdy Democrat
to fight for tho next house. There are
almost forty congressional districts In
each one of which a change of a very
few hundred vote would substitute a
Democrat for tho sitting Republican,
and Lloyd proposes to make that
change. The chnlrman Is a stanch
' - jU. . I
friend of Mr. Bryan and was -dotted
to his present position by tho united
voto of the militant Brynn men In the
bouse of rcproBciitathvs. With tho
chnnooa for a Democratic president so
good ns thoy ar now every effort
should be made to keep In congress
men who aro known to ho In accord
with the principles of the probable
Democratic presidential nominee. Fr
example, there is Henry T, Ralney in
the Twentieth district of Illinois. At
ono tlmo bo wns the only Democratic
member In congress from ,that state.
Ho has fought well and ably for tariff
revision against the wood pulp and
print paper tariff nnd for free raw ma
terial to be used In shipbuilding, I
select tho case of Mr. Ralney as an
Illustration Rlraply because 1 hnvo
some reason to believe that the pro
tected Industries nnd come of the
un-Democratlc Democrats within tho
party are likely to make a fight upon
him. There nro doubtless othor In
stances of tho samo sort. It behooves
Democrats who hope for n Democratic
administration, backed by a Democrat
ic congress, to fight for the return to
tno uouso nnd to the eonnto of tho men
Who In the days of adversity which,
wo bellovo, are now passing havo stood

Bryan nnd Ryan.
Tho mnllgnant effort of a New York
paper to make It appear that In 1004
Mr. Bryan received $20,000 from
Thomas F. Jtyan ns tho prlco of his
support for Judge Parker has fallen
exceedingly flat. The chargo was ex
plicit nt tho outset, and tho assertion
was mndo thut tho money was handed
to Mr. Bryan's brother-in-law by W. F.
Sheehnn, chnlrman of tho oxecutlvo
commltteo of tho Democratic national
commltteo. Now, Mr. Sheohnn Is not
and never hns been n political friend
of Mr. Bryan, yet he met this situa
tion as any man of honor and self re
spect would. Ho wrote to Mr. Bryan
a letter, which he gnvc to tho press,
stating that tho $115,000 sent to tho
Stato commltteo of Nebraska for use
In thnt state wns taken from the gen
oral fund of tho Democratic national
committee, to which there were many
contributors. Ho did not say whether
Mr. Pulitzer was a contributor, but
Mr. Pulitzer's contributions to Demo
cratic politics hnvo 'been chiefly con
fined to attacking Democratic candi
dates. There wns no more reason to
bellevo, according to Mr, Sheehnn, that
this was $15,000 from Thomas F. Ryan
than that It was $15,000 from thlrty'rto
forty different contributors, and finally
tho chnlrman of the executive commlt
teo concluded his letter by declaring
tnat Dp know well that Mr. Ryan had
no knowledge of the contribution or tb
tho purposes to which It had been put
As for the story that the money was
paid ns the price of Bryan's suppor.tJof
Parker I can speak with some personal
knowledge. Before he left St Louis
nfter thqt most disastrous and not
wholly crodlthblo convention ho ntr,
sonully told mo that ho would go ln,to
the campaign for Parkor notwithstand
ing" Tils opposition to tho New York
man's nomination. Tho money re
ferred to was not sent to Nebraska for
many weeks after thnt conversation. I
might note In 'passing nlso that Sir.
Bryan volunfeored to speak In New
York stnto for Judgo Parker, but the
sapient mnnngora of thnt pentlomap's
campaign asked the Nebrnsknn not-to
como. Tho stato wns lost by tho big.
gest hostile majority ever given In n
presidential cnmpnlgn.
Chandler of New Hampshire.
Former Scnntor Chandler Bill Chan
dler, ns ho Is potter known Is In
gravo danger of becoming a Demo
crat, nnd a radical Democrat at thnt.
In a Bpeech before a negro audlenco
In Washington the other night ho
urged his audience to Impress uion
their fellow men of color the necessity
of voting the Democratic tlckot In tho
.event that Mr. Taft should bo nominat
ed. But ho went further than this,
no Insisted thnt the present situation
of the negro In the south wns due to
tho fact that the mon of that race had
always voted the Republican ticket,
would always bo expected to voto it.
nnd that for that reason thoy might
not oxpect any favors from tho pnrty
to which they were shnckled by wrist
nnd ankle. Sonntor Chandler wound
up by urging tho voters of tho colored
race to break away from tho Repub
lican party and by n certain manifes
tation of independence wring cither
from that party or from the Democrat
ic party, to which ho urged their vote
should bo given, political concessions
for themselves. ,
Nobody hns ever accused Chandler
of being other than a machine Repub
lican. He wns one of the great factors
in the Louisiana returning board which
finally nnd fraudulently seated Ruth
erford B. Hnyes In tho White nouso.
True, it may be said that he is out of
ofllco and expressing the vindictive
uess of a man who has lost, first, the
place of a Uultcd States senator nnd,
second, a high place under the appoint
ment of tho president of the United
States. -But a railroad beat him for
United States senator because he was
too frauk and outspoken. The presi
dent dropped him from his executive
position for precisely the samo reason.
In these days of equal autocracy In tho
White House and In railroad offices
the rann who thinks for. himself and
who speaks accordlug to his thought
Is exceedingly Uablo to suffer. That
has been tho enso with Bill Chnndler.
And that uow from his station ns a
mere private citizen, but with his ex
tended acquaintance and his brilliant
intellect, lio continues to keep up his
fight shows surely that he has In him
the stuff that heroes are made of. The
negro vote to which he nppetls holds
the balance of power In the states
which border the northern sh!e of tho
Ohio river. Tho fight which he has
begun may be of vital importance In
the pending presidential campaign.

THE STOCKMEN
A Good Crowd, a Good Meeting and a
Good Timi Governor Shelden and
a Stuffed Steer Star Attractions.
Owing to unpropitious weather and
other causes tho attendance at tho an
nual meeting of the Stock Growers' As
sociation in this city last week was not
up to the average, but thoso who did
attend made up in Enthusiasm what
they lacked in numbers.
The meeting was hold in the Phelan
opera houee and was called to order at
half-past two o'clock Thursday after
noon by R. M. Hampton, president of
the stock growers' association.

Omaha Drovers' Journal, responded
with a spicy and witty speech.
Dr. R. A. Ramsev. of Washington.
D. C, who is connected with the na
tional bureau of animal industry, made
the first "long talk." His subject was
"Mange or Scabies." The Herald's
restricted space forbids even a summary
of this and the other able essays deliv
ered at this meeting.
Dr. Clark, of Denver, chief cattle in
spector, spoko briefly on the subject so
exhaustively treated by Dr. Ramsey.
T. B. McPherson, one of the South
Omaha delegation, spoke interestingly
on the questions of transportation and
commission charges. Mr. McPherson
is president of the national live stock
exchange and the So. Omaha exchange.
a stutted steer winch in life weighed
1750 pounds was an attraction of this
meeting that was visited by many. It
was exhibited in the old Rumer block.
Interesting addresses were delivered
by Dr. A. T. Peters and Dr. C. A. Mc
Kim, both of Lincoln, and others, on
Friday.
At the business meeting iu the after
noon the following officers were chosen:
President R. M. Hampton.Alliance.
Vice-President E. P. Meyers, Hy

Lincoln.
Governor Sheldon addressed the as
sociation Friday afternoon and made a
fine impression. He attended the ball
in the opera house Friday night and
was a boy among the b,oys. (His wife
was not with him). The governor made
many friends by his cordial, simple and
unaffected manners.
Enjoyable music was furnished dur
