Personality in Baltimore Convention?From Defeat to I icivrj. P. H. McGowan in State. I Baltimore, July 3.?Titanic like as the Baltimore convention has been with its quickly shifting lights and shadows, one thing stands out more prominently than anything else that j could be said concerning the big show ?the potentiality and real bigness of j William .t Rrvan. Mr. Brvan has been ! the real feature of the convention j since the vast assemblage of Demo- j crats from every part of the country ! got to Baltimore ten days ago; there| has Jiot been a move which he did not j either plan or the full motives of, which he did not understand; there has j been neither move nor counter move\ in which he did not play his part. Mr. j Bryan has been the big part of it all. j True, there have been other inter- , esting and at times almost dramatic incidents of the convention. In fact, they have been too numerous to put in print. There has been the strong "Tammany" crowd of its 90 delegates which has drawn the attention of ev-! r*.r*tr mun n-it-Vi ovoc ooo onH paTS t<"> ! 11 j man >? itu vj v-k; tv ov/\. uuu ? vv hear. "Tammany's" fame had gone out over all the country and every one' wanted to look at the tiger aggregation. They all wanted to see Murphy ?the man who has crumpled 90 votes in. the hollow of his hand as an ordinary man a peanut shell, making or marring as his will dictated. Then the J other big New York men. too, O'Gorman, Gaynor, Fitzgerald and various members of the Tammany lineup were eagerly sought out wherever they could be found. Kyan There Too. Added to the New Yorkers, scarce1? 1 ^ J + ? ly iee?s iuiricai aiuu;ucu ,iu uur? pi w i ence of Thomas Fortune Ryan, the j Virginian who has kept not only his colleagues but every one in the /Convention on edge trying to "find" him. The very manner of Mr. Ryan?'s selection as a delegate to the convention when he was simply named as "Mr.! Ryan" all the while his opponents thinking they were choosing his son, has lent added interest to his move lUCUlo aiiU av/tiuiio AH ijaii.iuiv;i "There goes Thomas F. Ryan," has ! been the remark a thousand times in ' and around the Hotel Rennent since! i the Virginians reached Baltimore. Mr. Ryan is a man of mystery. He knows his own plans and follows them without the help or advice of the public. It has been a remarkable thing t;ow j Mr. Bryan would rise from one defeat j to plan another coup; how he would ' apparently with renewed strength, re- j sume combat after what seemed to be crushing defeat; how, in every in-j stance, he showed himself the master! of the convention. Parker's selection j as temporary chairman, over his pro-j test and fight on the floor, did not in any way weaken his power, neither was it weakened when the strong! Tammany-Clark crowd united to run j the steam roller over him. When the! Clark men, frantic lest they would be ; swept to sea in the next succeeding' ballot, waved in Bryan's face a big; painted banner in which former eulo-! gies of Cl^rk by Bryan were portrayed ; in large letters, the Xebraskan sat in j his seat until they had finished then 1 asked ibv the privilege of stating his position. He was calm and deliberate,; through it all. perfect master of all his | forces and wonderful mental equipment. This much must be said when all is over. The big end of the convention is Bryan. Though many a man would i have been crushed and defeated with : less than half of the opposition hurled j into him and doubtless would have | been glad to quit the scene, Bryan j came through it all and no man there can say that he was not its dominating force and master hand whether! he be friend or foe. ? ? Praises Bryan Very Highly. Orangeburg Times and. Democrat. In a ringing editorial in its issue of last Monday the New York World, speaking of the Democratic National convention, said it was too late to talk of compromise. Compromise." went on the World, "was possible until the Ryan-Murphy conspiracy was fully re vealed and the Tammany boss carried j out the terms of his bargain with the j Clark managers by throwing New j York's ninety votes to Champ Clark. Compromise was possible until Mr. Bryan compelled -by the inexorable logic of events to repudiate Champ Clark's candidacy and vote for Wood row Wilson. Compromise was possi- j ble until it became apparent to every i intelligent man that the Ryan-Murphy-1 Belmont-Hearst coalition had set out to strangle progressive Democracy, aiv Rrviin nnlir fflllv -and Dre-i ucauuj .in. l-/* , uu I*~ ? ? _ A vent the nomination of Woodrow Wilson at any cost. Compromise is no longer possible. There can be no Democratic harmony, there can be no Democratic unity, there can be no Democratic integrity, until the convention overwhelms this shameful alliance between corrupt finance and corrupt rvniitir-s Tt i? the dutv ofc Mr. Bryan j to stand fast in his support of Governor Wilson, and it is the duty of true Democrats to stand fast in their support of Mr. Bryan. Whatever their differences with him in the past, he is fighting today the battle of honest' Democracy, he is fighting the battle of the American people, and he is fighting it manfully and magnificently." This is a desrved tribute to Mr. Bryan, who \ refused all compromise and in the end won a grand and glorious victory for the people over the bosses. The State Does Not Endorse or Underwrite. Manning Times. The Columbia State may be playing j a shrewd game in not having much to say editorially these days on the gubernatorial situation, but every now and then it rolls certain charges under its tongue as a sweet morsel, to let its readers know it neither endorses these charges, nor does it underwrite them. Tf it helieves the charges made by Mayor Grace, it should come out in the | open and say so; it should do more, it should do all in its power to secure the evidence to convict the governor, the fact that no effort is being made to verify Grace's charges is deemed sufficient to cause the masses to look; upon them as without foundation. When the Columbia State declines to endorse or underwrite criminal charges against Governor Blease it is high time for the rest of his enemies to play the game fair. i The Blea^eites have not made criminal charges against Judge Jones; did they do so, we would be the first to denounce it, the only charge brought against the judge is based upon his record as a legislator, and his decisions as judge, these do not reflect upon his integrity. The record of a public man is an open book, the same as the ropnrdi in the court house, everybody has a right to examine it; when the public record of a man is questioned, it is for him to make a satisfactory explanation; this he can not do by abuse, he must get down to facts and show why the records place him thus; - - - - J J _ K ! if he can jusury tne recuru maue jjj | himself, it will be well for him; if he I can not, it is his misfortune, but it does J not injure his personal character. Therefore we say that the bringing out every few days a reminder of an ugly charge made by Grace, but refusing to underwrite or endorse it does not fool anybody, but on the other hand it does convince many people the State is not playing fair. It is ? I easy to make charges; any one can ac-1 cuse, but when it comes to proof the! charge must be true before the proof j can be obtained; there is a difference between proof and witnesses; some men can be secured to testify for a very little, and it is not an unheard of thing for witnesses to be bought to give out manufactured testim^iy, but usually their evidence has no force. What Bryan Knew. Orangeburg Times and Democrat. 11 -~ + tVi<3 nortv frnm I II Wits LO IUV being misrepresented before the country that caused Mr. Bryan to' oppose the election of Judge Parker as j temporary chairman of the conven- j tion. Had Judge Parker's nomination been accepted unanimously the party | would have been badly handicapped in the election, matters not what kind of platform may have been adopted or candidate nominated. Bryan knew this. The Great Sentinel. Florence Times. The Balitimore Sun expressed it in j a great headline one morning during the convention when they said as bold as type could say it, after the all night vigil, "While the nation sleeps, \Y. J. Bryan stands 011 guard." Files! Piles! Piles! Williams' Indian Pile Ointment will cure ; Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles.
