The so-called Wall street “democrats” have almost tearfully admitted that they fear they cannot defeat the nomination of Bryan for

the presidency. - Ohio -and Massachusetts Demo* crats have instructed their national delegates to vote for Bryan’s nomination.

The Democratic idea that the bank deposits of the private citizen are just as much entitled to be guaranteed as are the deposits of the government is approved everywhere throughout the country.

The Kentucky Republicans , have instructed their national delegates to vote for Taft. And it was Fairbanks who carried that state for them, too, according to the claims of his friends. Besides, it was his state that had given refuge to fugi-

tive Taylor. If this isn’t base Ingratitude, what is it? As the case stands Mr. Fairbanks has only the votes from Indiana—and he is not so dead sure about some of them.

The Ohio Democrats held a great state convention last week and put themselves in fine shape to carry the state in November. And that is what is likely to happen. More than that, it looks like a ecrtainty.

The incompetency of the present Republican congress to deal with the financial situation has been plainly demonstrated. Three distinct currency bills have been introduced, viz., the Aldrich, Fowler and Vreeland bills, and each of them has caused violent opposition. With all of their boasted "genius for finance,” both high and low (and mixed), the Republican leaders have shown their miserable incapacity. They have not been abld to frame a measure that any considerable number of persons are willing to accept.

And now it is William Montgomery, cashier of the Allegahney National Bank, Pittsburg, Pa., that has embezzled $1,000,000, and it may reach $1,250,060. He has been detected, arrested and stands an excellent show of going to join a large colony of those republican country savers of 1896 and 1900 now In the penitentiary. Montgomery was M. S. Quay’s right-hand man and probably knows more about the methods employed to bring about victory in presidential elections since 1888 than any other living man. The notoriously sorrupt Quay was the discoverer of Benj. Harrison, and It was he who made Harrison the that year. Billy Montgomery was at his elbow and knew everything that took place that campaign. This will be remembered as the Dudley Blocks-of-Five campaign. Montgomery intimates that unless he is handled very carefully he will tell a few things that will not make very pleasant reading for the dyed-in-the-wool republicans.
