It has ‘ already been demonstrated that the work done must be in ac cord with the judgment of the United States. At this .distance from Havana and jWashington, it seems that there is quite extensive space between Cuba and independ ence. preference concerning any prospect ive national issue. 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.” ■ ■ -a*' diated Hon. W. J. Brvan as a party leader, and the Kansas City plat form as the exposition of party poli cy. In nominations and platform the contentions of Editor McLean prevailed against Mayor Johnson of Cleveland and his followers. The platform is generally regarded as good, and as a pointer toward na tional democratic policy. It is re- gretable, however, that faithful workers, though unsuccessful, were treated with scant courtesy. In Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Indian Territory an extensive drouth has prevailed, no rain having fallen in portions of Kansas during three months. All crops have suf fered terribly, and it is said the corn crop is beyond relief. The price of corn is rising, as is that of wheat. The estimated damage to the crops in Kansas and Missouri amounts to $50,000,000. |Accobding to English authority, the exports of United States products to Great Britain for the last six months amounted £0^4^000,000, an in- $r6ae of 000*000 over the cor responding six months of last year. During the same period the United Jtates people bought only £7,000,- 000 of English goods. —Mr. Josiah Bass, one of Hous ton’s prominent citizens, writes as follows: “After trying various remedies, without obtaining any benefit, I was cured sound and well by Muchlee Chill Stop.
