Hill's Sorry Appearance, as a Detractor of Bvyan. 11 a recent interview ts to lie taken as a pre/nedialtd and authorized ex-' = pressiou of opinion, the figure presented by ex-CJov. and ex-Senator Dav_ id Bennett Jlill is pathetic. "There ifc no Democratic party," Mr. llill is re( presented as saying upon the eve of " his departure for Europe. ''When I lj met the late (jov. Allgeld in n little room up a backstairs in a small C'bicngo hotel shortly before the first so, called Bryan convention I told him that I he policies which he rejiresetit'* cd would drive the Democratic parly to hell. Then, when lie hvgged for _ another Ir.v four years later, I saui: ^ ??n must stop before you have ab15 solutelv ruined the party.' But Hi van j was nominated, as I saw the futility a minority report with only ton votes in back me." That is going a lonu way back. (lov. ( A It geld is dead.

The reason of (he ex-go\ ernor and ex-senator s discour, ngemenl ami flight is given in the fol. lowing: t ''Every time Mr. Bryan says 'I '. keep the faith it makes me smile, lie s has kept the lailh indeed. He kept - il out in Nebraska, his own State, i. which is now Republican to its polir tical core. I he Democratic party nevp ei wanted Mr. Brynn. Mr. Brvan wanted the Democratic party.

Hill appears to considerable disadvantage both in the matter of judgment and perspecI i ve.: "Now, both sides in the coming political struggle will have to go to the masses for tlicir votes. They must draw from the masses, and what better man could stand against the candidate representing the 'i^wcr of patronage' than John Johnson, who spent his boyhood days in a county poorhousc? Think of it! Torchlight processions with banners reading ' 'John Johnson, the poorhousc candidate.' And from what I have been able to learn Mr. Johnson Is more than a mere near-to-the-pcople candidate. He is a well balanced man and an able man." Gov. Johnson did not spend his boyhood days in a poorhousc. Nor would a poorhousc candidate for president of (lie United States make a very strong appeal to the masses of (he people. The governor of Minnesota is ;m able and a deserving man. With | a united party behind him he could undoubtedly get a vole in the debaf- ~ able States which perhaps Mr. liryan can n<>( gel. lint, over the (lend body of Rryan, slain by an Eastern syndi- il eate of politicians ?nd newspapers calling thenisc'ves Democrats. he ' would run no better than Pinker ran ,C" four years ago. f Our sympathies go out to the ex- 0 governor and cx-senafor. Fortune has dealt rudely by him. lie has fallen v twixl two stools. Yet, as the old wo- s man said of her husband dragged out '' of the river drowned and unrecogniz- '' able, "lie was a boss in his day." ^ lie fought some good fights and gain- ' ed some glorious victories.
