A Strange Situation.
Horo Is a strango srtuation. Threo
!fourths of tho democratic party stands
for what Bryan stands for. Tho re
maining one-fourth is tied up to plu
'tocracy, to tho trusts, to capitalistic
Combinations. Yet tho one-fourth
claim tho right to dictato tho policy
of tho party and to control its action,
and tho demand will ho conceded.
Horo is a party that denounces Presi
dent Itoosovelt because ho is not do
ing onough against tho trusts, yet tho
controlling minority or tills . party
complain that ho is not sufficiently
kind to capitalistic combinations, and
insist on having a "safer" man. So
it is conceded that Wall street shall
now name tho democratic candidate
Portland Oregonian.
Bryan's Chicago Speech.
It is safo to say that no other man
could havo drawn so largo and
thoughtful an audience under similar
circumstances as that which gathered
at Chicago last Saturday to hear Bry
an's speech on tho present crisis in
tho democratic party, a meeting as
largo might havo been easily assem
bled by a president in office, a for
eign potentate, or a capital execution;
but it would havo been a meeting of
thoughtless curiosity-seokors. Bry
an's audionco was not attracted by cu
riosity nor was it composed of
thoughtless people. It had come to
gether for tho purpose of listening to

The Nashville American insists that
Mr. Bryan is going to bolt tho St.
Louis convention, and declares that
ho would not carry with him a single
electoral vote. It is openly charged 1
in Tennessee that there is not a single
stockholder on the American that
votes the democratic ticket A Ten
nesseean, referring to the American's
policy, says that if Bob Ingersoll were
living, and were to buy the Nashville
Ghrlatiaa Advocate, ho could not do
tho Christlon religion more harm
than tho. Nashville American, and
papers like it, are doing the demo
cratic party. - Montgomery (Ala.)

Explaining It.
"Papa," inquired little "Willie Wan
tono, "what does 'arbitration mean?"
"Arbitration, my son," replied Mr
Wantono, "arbitration is what a big
corporation does not want when it is
big enough to do as it pleases and
what it insists upon wnen it is afraid
it can't get all it wants by asking for
it Arbitration is also something that
a big nation refuses to have when it
can take what it wants, and something
it asks for when it runs up against
an equally big, or brggor, nation."
"Then arbitration is"
"Willie, arbitration is arbitration.
Now run along to bed."
