As was to be expected, however,
the rampant enemies of. Mr. Bryan
declare that he was discredited, or
discarded, whereas the convention
would have gone out of its way to
have in any way acknowledged him,
or any citizen of another state, as in
any degree a factor in shaping the
state politics of Ohio.
The convention did exactly right
in refusing to consider a resolution
endorsing the course of Mr. Bryan,
and if the man who insisted on urg
ing such a resolution was hissed, the
rudeness could be reasonably par
doned. The democratic party owes
supreme allegia'nce to no one man,
and an effort to force an expression
of such allegiance deserves positive
reproof.
However, such action does not
necessarily carry with it the repudi
ation of Mr. Bryan’s great ideas of
justice and truth.
Ohio democrats were intent upon
determining the state leadership of
their party; with the great purpose
in view of defeating republicanism
in the next state campaign and in
suring the election of a democrat to
the United States senate.
It would be folly to pitch the na
tional campaign upon a plane so low
and narrow as the personal availa
bility of one man for the national
leadership. Then, again, it would
be foolish to intentionally give of
fense to the millions of democrats
who have the utmost faith in the
statesmanship and truth of Mr. Bry
an and his contentions.
Nobody is trying to force Mr.
Bryan upon the democratic party,
and he is only exercising his rights
as a citizen-and an editor to express
his opinion freely upon questions
and issues concerning the govern
ment and the people generally.
The eagerness with which some
politicians and editors catch every
expression, or lack of political opin
ion, and color it to the discredit of
Mr. Bryan, is the strongest evidence
that the great Nebraska statesman
is above and beyond their argu
ment, and that his influeUce in na
tional politics causes them continual
fear.
The Ohio democrats did not in
tend to make a platform for the na
tional democratic party.
As an expression of democratic
opinion at Washington, we print the
following from our correspondent
there:
“It is generally admitted here that
from whatever standpoint the matter
is regarded, the action of the Ohio
democratic convention in refusing to
honor, and, in fact, in hissing the
picture of W. J. Bryan, cannot but
be considered of vital interest to the
party. Ohio was strongly Bryanite
in 1897, adopting the free silver
plank of the Chicago convention as
a whole. Now, in its first conven
tion after Bryan’s second defeat, it
abandons him. The question, of
course, is whether this shows a wide
spread feeling in the country or is
confined to Ohio alone. It is con
sidered probable that the demon
stration was really intended merely
as a repudiation of free silver, the
conditions in regard to which have
so radically changed, and the insist-
ance on which has alienated such a
large proportion of the German vote
of the state, to which the democrats
have hitherto catered. With the ex
ception of the studied neglect of free
silver, it cannot be pointed out that
the convention adopted anything
which Mr. Bryan would not favor,
and most of its planks he has hither
to expressed himself as advocating,
in effect if not in words. The gen
eral feeling among democrats here is
that Bryan is losing his hold on his
party.”
