BRYAN AN ISSUE?. msvUilugum <*?*rtlps Hay He Is Not Beit It la Barl/ to Make Predic Itl th. J co I a mi dv ca re rn th hi P1 P< n( in Washington. Nov. SO.?There 1? one leading question for discussion among the advance guard of Democratic con? gressmen who have arrived in Wash? ington for the opening of .he session oaxt month. "Will Bryan ever again Be a candidate for presidency?" is the qftery th??y propound, and endeavor to answer. The consensus of opinion is that h? will n<>t. the igh thore are not lacking Democrat.-* whose ialth in the ultimate triumph of the peerless lead? er i* i'oi shaken. There la properly speaking, no such thing now as an anti-Bryan Democrat, though there were plenty of them be? fore the Denver convention placed Mr. Bryan st the head of the Demo? cratic ticket. But Mr. Bryun is no Banger an Issue dividing the party, so there may b? discussion of his future ? nd the party's future without any Mtterneaa entering. Even Mr. Bry on's most ardent personal admirers are able to consider the matter calm? ly, and not a few of them are of the present opinion that the Nebraskan cannot hope again to be his party's choice for president. Of course, three .years fro.n now. when the 1912 nom? ination becomes a live issue, they may line up srlth Hryan. and there is no jiersonal disloyalty In their present tendency to critical analysis. There is no attempt by Mr. Bryan's friends to minimise the significance of th? fact that the candidate for pr?si ?Jent ran so far behind so many o the State and local tickets, both ?osrth aad south. The election o Democratic governors In a number o northern states, the remarkable dls parity between the votes of Bryan and Chan ler In New York, and the fact of Democratic losses and Republican gain* la the south on the presidential tickets. Is accepted by Democrats as meaning that Bryan was weaker In November than his party. No one can < demonstrate, of course, that any other Democrat could have polled a larger vote for president, but the fact was - established that Mr. Bryan ss the presidential nominee was not able to poll the full Democratic vote. N ? other candidate for president. It Is as ?ewrted. ever fell so far behind the to? tal vote oast for other candidates of his party. A critical examination of other presidential elections might shew this assumption to be wrong, trat Democratic members of congress Ar? generally accepting It as true. Already there Is discussion of pos? sible 1911 candidates, and It Is only natural rhst the Democrats who have been elected governors of northern states should come In for considera? tion. . It Is recalled that the only Democrat elected to the presidency since the civil war came into promi? nence from having a/on the governor? ship of New York, and a governor? ship hai In other instant? s proved a stepping-stone to tne presidency. U ?v. Ji 4in ton of Minn* sota. ol course. Is to be reckoned with, as h? had the largest following thl ash!* from that of Mr. Bryan. Jud son Harmon, w-io won the Ohio gov ernor?hip. already Is being b > ?med and Indiana Democrats are tellini their party colleagues to keep an ey on Thomaji R. Marshall, who defeate ?Jim'" Watson for the governorshi of the Hoosler State. Marshall's norr Instlon four years hence. It Is declare* would make Indiana safely a Demi oratlc Htate. and that would assure comfortable start toward a pluralll of ?dectoral votes. It must not be assumed, howevc that there Is any disposition to fat Mr. Hryan out of the Democrat party or out of Its councils. It Is re ognlsed that he will continue to be i aggressive and Intluentlal leader, ai It I* recognised also that any action ltl'J which would tend to humlll.i Brysn would Invite certain dlsast No I no, rat would have the sllsjhb i I ?nce of success in 1'.?I _' who w objection;* i>l?' to the great mass Democratic voters who have follow Mr. Ryan so enthust.Mt ieally to thi elef * Ma, it |b btBsrtd Mr Bryai win ree*T alar the fact that. however, unw ranted It msy seem, there Is so gr smi amount of prejudice against 1 within the Democratic party that oev-r car. attain the i -- i l-n >. having been honored thr* ?? tine s * th ? oBBjBslBon he will Join enthus ttcslly and energetically In th. supj ?of some other man four years fi new. No one believes Mr. Bryal going to surrender his OOBJvigtli cither fur hi* own advantage or the sdvantage of his party, but there Is a sufficient recognition thoso prlncljl s In the platform 12. his frlendg declare, he is not i man to sulk. Democrats are very hopeful that o years from now a Democratic ngresa will be elected. They point the fact that In the last two con? cessional elections the Republican ?Jorlty in the housn has been ro iced, and they count on enough dla tlsfactlon as a result of the coming vision of the tariff to wipe out the argln the Republicans will have In ie 61 ?t congress. It bas been the story of tariff legislation that the irty passing has suffered at the jlls, and Democrats contend there is ) reason why the legislation of next ?ar should prove an exception. COTTON LEVELS UNCHANGED. luct nations In Prince* During Past Week in Narrow Limits. New York, Nov. 27.?Net changes in rices of cotton have been small dur fig the past week. Conflicting in uences have kept the fluctuations .lthln narrow limits. Wall street and utslders, at the South, in New Eng? end and at the West, particularly at 'hlcago, have bought, partly on a scale [own. This with enormous spinners' akings and exports, the latter in two lays amounting to uearly 200,000 ?ales, :tnd a generally Arm tone In th pot markets at the South have con ributed to support prices. Also as a ;ery Important factor general trade ?as Increased, things are improving in lie dry goods business all over the :ountry, print cloths have advanced at Fall River and Providence and finally :hc recent advance In the stock mar? ket has not been without a certain in? fluence. At times some falling off in receipts, too, at interior towns has not been without Its effect. Decem ber here Is at a premium of 24 points over January, even on notice day Spinners' takings have been on a scale far in excess of the corresponding period lest year. The things which the market has had ' to contend against during the past week are briefly these Continued large receipts at the ports In spite of some falling off at the in tenor towns, crop estimates running In some cases as high as 14,000,000 bales, the fact that the average estl mate by the members of the NewYork cotton exchange is .13,321,000 bales persistent selling by large spot houses who are understood to have sold De cember and January freely, mainly with the view as most people here think of preventing the shipment of large quantities of cotton to New York. Futures here have recently o the whole advanced more rapidly than spot prlcea at the South. The weather at the South, moreover, has continued in the main favorable and, rightly or wrongly, the tendency of late has been to Increase the crop estimates. However there has been persistent buying for a rise, lud by Wall street houses on the Idea that the cotton business Is bound to Improve with trade all over the country. Including stocks left ever at ports and Interior towns from the last crop and the number of bales brought into sight thus far from the new crop the supply to date Is /4l,3S0.07tf. against 4.756.:M1 for the same period latl year.
