Hither 1 Would Suit Hryan. I Washington, Aug. 22.? Dcm- ' orratic leaders from the South and West in Congress, when speaking of the head of the Presidential ticket for 1904, now mention more frequently than any others the names of Richard Olney of Massachusetts and Edward M. Shepard of New York. It is said hy men who ought to be able to speak knowingly on the subject that Mr Bryan would be delighted with the nomination of either of these men, though Deither ever has professed to ho a free silver man. Apparently Mr. Bryan's friends are contented to put a black mark agaiust the uames of certain men who occupy a pecular position in the party, and will bo satisfied with the nominatii n of any good man not personally on their black* list. It is manifest, however, that among the class of men who controlled the convention in 1900 and who now dominate the Dem ocratic national comntittee, Mr. Olney and Mr. Shepard are prime favorites. The sentiment commonly expressed bv Democrats of standing Six persons seriously shot and It ft number injured is tho result so C far of a race riot in Lee County, Miss. A negro preacher incited the negroes to riot. * is averse to ootb "reorganization" and "stagnation.'' Democratic leaders fee! that the campaign of 1904 must have a character of its own. The repudiation of 1S9G and 1900 would hark back to those campaigns as much as would the literal reiteration of the platforms. As far as the issues of 18VG and 19C0 ore presented for consideration in 1904, Democrats acknowledge those platforms will have to be repeated or repudiated, ki>? ? -i: - urn iuviu is 1111 mofjuoiuuu aiming the great majority of Democrats in Congress to thresh over old straw, after the grain is all gone, ( merely to demonstrate that tbe j threshing was not properly done. Practically all Democrats in official position agree to the proposi- \ tion that the essential thing is that the issues of the hour he mot ' in the true spirit of Democracy, holding that a platform is not a < declaration of cardinal principles, 1 but i9 the application of such prin- < eiples to tbe issues raised by existing conditions. Tho conten tion of the most radical Bryan men is not for the perpetuation of old issues, but for the application ' to the issues of the hour of the * ame cardinal principles which ' were applied in 1806 and 1900 to * tbe issues of that time.
