1 iiuvp neon a democrat for thirty-two
years," says Mr. Farunworth. "and It Is
with miiPh reluctance that I leave tho old
party. While 1 did not agree with Mr,
tlrynn on tho silver cpicHtlnn lu 185(1. I did
not consider that Htifllclcnt reason for vot
ing against him. This year, however, when
1 seo I he democratic preHS exulting over
every loss accruing to tho soldiers of the
united States In tho Philippine Islands, I
m constrained to leave tho party whose
candidates fall to rosent such treasonable
notion. I was opposed to tho war with
Spain and did not npprovo of tho Paris
treaty. Hut now that we have acquired
inc rniuppines na one of tho results of
me war and In a perfectly honorable and
legltlmato manner. I can sco no reason for
giving them up than wo could hnvo had for
Riving up Texas back in tho 'I0n. Wo
have acquired a footing In tho far east that
every other nation on tho face of tho oarth
has been striving. to obtain for years, and
wo ought to take full advantago of the
situation. This Is no tlmo for a step back
ward. "My prlnelpal reason for becoming n re
publican this year Is becauso I cannot stay
with n party that gives help and comfort
to nn enomy of tho government. Hut nt
Blair, my old home, I know hundreds of
democrats who voted for Hrynn In 1896 who
have changed politics In this patriotic
Issue."

Kuclld Martin, for years a leader of tho
democratic party, chairman of tho state
committee and postmaster during tho last
term of President Cleveland, Is stronger In
his opposition to Mr. Ilryan'3 candidacy
this year than ho was In 1S06. Four years
ngo Mr. Martin denied his support to Bryan
bocauso ho could not assent to tho financial
legislation promised by the Chicago plat
form; this year ho finds tho samo objection
to tho Kansas City platform, and, In addi
tion, observes other reasons for making
the defeat of the democratic candidate de
sirable. Mr. Martin, who has Just returned from
an eastern trip, was naked:
. "Is there any reason why sound money
democrats wno urn not support Ilryan In
189S should favor him this year?"
"In tho presont political situation," ho
replied, "I am unable to dlscovor any good
reason why a democrat favoring a stable
currency, who refused to support nryan In
1898, should support him now. His proph
ecies and predictions as n candldato In 1890
ara unfulfilled and tho disasters which he
announced as suro to follow tho oloctlon of
McKInley have failed to materialize."
"What do you think of tho Kansas City
platform as compared with tho Chicago
platform?"
"Tho platform of 1900, It seems to mo, Is
In nowlie better than that of 1S90, and In
some Instances Is worse. I regard tho con
tlnued agltution of tho 16 to 1 fallacy as
detrimental to tho best Interests of tho
country and tho attempt to malto an Issuo
or imperialism as entirely nbortlvo."
"Whllo maintaining a high appreciation
"i mo personal qualifications of tho fusion
oMMimtico, I'uiiuuucti air. .Martin, "1 am
constrained to say that I believe
dentlal candldato should bo a man of loftier
purposes and pursuits than a continuous
politician, Interested only In his own ad
vancemcnt."

Judge W. D. Mcllugh of Omaha, for some
years a leader of tho democratic forces In
Nebraska, is as strongly opposed to Ilryan
In this campaign as ho was In 1S96. when
he bolted tho Chicago platform. In 1S90
and 1S92 Judge Mcllugh was among tho
most active workers for Mr. Ilryan In his
congressional campaign, but In isa.1. when
tho present presidential candidate forced the
rreo coinage of sliver upon tho party of this
stato and made It a conspicuous and lead
ing Issue, tho Judge ceased to be one of his
supporters.
"When Ilryan was 11 nt put up as a con
gressional candidate," said Judge Mcllugh.
"he was an unknown quantity. After his
election ho displayed marked ability as an
advocate of fnrllT reform, which was nt that
time the dominating Issuo In the politics of
tho country. On the tnrlff Issuo 1 sup
ported him for congross In 1S92, but when
later on ho appeared as the champion of
free silver, free riot and free everything
else that ho thought would make votes. I
could not continue lu his political company.
I think I have a pretty clear Insight of the
man's chnracter now. Ills actions during
the first six or keven years have shown him
to he a man who does not and will not
hesitate to deceive tho peoplo when he be
lieves such deception will advance his own
political Interests. Ho Is absolutely Eoltlsh

that Mr. .McKInley and his party are without

among tho American peoplo on tho proposi
tion that tho Philippines shall have n

Thero Is no dlsputo as to giving tho Fil

consistent with their welfare. The
republican platform declares for Just such

ocratic platform to promlso tho establish

men would bo against their welfare. The
ttltudo of tho republican party In this

MM of Thin us tn He Dnne.
,'hat wo may do with the Philippines
ultimately Is not the question now. The
democratic platform favors "nn immediate
declaration of the nation's purpose to give
to tho Filipinos, first, n stable form of gov
ernment; second, independence, and third,
protection from outside Interference such
ns has been given for nearly a century to
tho republics of Central and South Amer
ica. In the list of things to be done first comes
a "stnblo form of government." We are
trying to give them that now. If wo re
tain them, tho third clause, "protection,"
will necessarily follow. Why, If we do not
retain them, wo should burden ourselves
with protecting them, Is not clearly per
ceptible Tho modern doctrine seems to bo
that wo may not tnko any foreign turrttorv
for our own, but that whenever n republic
Is born we must stnnd as Its protector.
Why should wo become the Don Quixote
of the world? Let us at least bo honest
and when wo say that tlie'Phlllpplnes shall
be independent, let ub ny so, meaning what
the word Implies. Lot us hnvo no entnngllng
alliances, nor stand sponsor for people who
nro aliens and whose abiding placo Is re
mote from our continent.

CULLED from the FieSd of POLITICS
'I notlco considerable talk being renewed
not only In tho papers, but also among tho
politicians, about direct primary nomina
tions and I think the sentiment favorable
to the plan Is growing." said a member of
tho republican county committee. "The
fact is that In all probability we would have
had a system of direct nomination In force
nt tho coming primaries and let tho voters
name the wholo legislative and county ticket
direct were it not for certain obstacles
entirely outside, of tho committee, which I
bellevo is leaning to a reform of that kind.
"Do you remember the compromise that
was effected between tho republican fac
tions over the delegation from Douglas
county to tho last stato convention? Few
people understood exactly what was em
braced in that agreement by which what
was an agreement that the legislative
ticket this fall should be nominated In'
county convention with the usual appor
tionment of delegates chosen by wards and
precincts. Ho evidently thought ho would
havo un advantage by tho convention system
which ho would not havo by trusting his
candidacy to tho party for nn expression
of preference at the primary polls. The
compromise, theroforo, has now been car
ried out In nil Ita terms, which should be
recorded among tho unlquo pages of local
political history."

mayon said,

"Going deeper, however, the explanation
Is this: The county committee had Issued
a call for the selection of the delegateb to
the stato convention by direct primary
vote without the Intervention of n county
convention of any kind. Tho suspicion was
Immediately aroused thnt this was to set
the precedent for direct primary nomina
tions this fall and that gave Mr. Webster's
friends rold shivers. To submit tho ticket
to be made up by the party votes without
a convention would havo been next door to
requiring the candidates for United States
