' Few new spaper read cm seed be told that these forecasts ar characterised by entire Impartiali ty and that they enjoy a high repu tation 'or accuracy even down to de- tails of any real Importance. The Herald possesses first-class news ggthering facilities, and continued good faith as a canvasser 1 insured fcjr th gradually built up and now extremely valuable prestige which It baa at stake. Such being it status In this regard, a copyright outlook upon Democratic nomination prospects In It issue of Monday last has no small Claim to attention from every one who await the Denver convention's action with proper Interest. The conclusions, w may here point out, ar left for the reader to draw except where the accompanying facta unquestionably Justify them; and the grand result I Hot made the subject of a definite pre diction. V What stands out from the altua : Hon at seen by The Herald Is a plain Showing that Mr. Bryan has of late sustained a series of hard checks cul minating In the Illinois Democratic convention's expected rejection to-day, . and that nolens present desperate ef fort on his part to stop the slump ar successful ha win fall decisively short of the necessary two-thirds vote at' Denver. This Is what the facts as marshaled clearly mean end what The Herald declares them to mean. By far the most Important factor In the changed conditions Is the apparently aet determination of Illinois Demo crat to break loose from the control of Bom Roger C. Sullivan, who, though declared some time ego by Mr. Bryan an intolerable disgrace to tha Democratic party, Is working strenuously for the Xebraskan. and cither endorse Johnson or send an ttnlnstructed delegation. Johnson sentiment has been sweeping Illinois In the face of obstacles, and this Bute's fifty-four votes are according ly transferred from the list of those -probably for Bryan to those probably gainst Bryan. Elsewhere, the tide baa been in the same direction. Out of ninety-four delegates actually ehoeen during the last two weeks Ighty-four are known to be against V m . ... erjan, a. table of probabilities v.wb sir. nrvi n airu 1 vote short; and while this number Is comparatively small, he will have a era ume t it it l. . w. m.rm i iieraia s principal conclusion-on the present stage of the eontest Here Is Ita leading uble: .

The large possibilities of Independ ent action among the many Bute "nrobably-for Bryan" hardly need to be pointed out. JNew York's attitude, of course, is of extreme importance, The New York situation." remarks The Herald, writer, "haa Impressed the Democracy of the country. If the Xew York leaders are going to fight Mr. Eryan until ha or they are ex terminated It shows a very serlou condition In the party. It means, of course, that the New York Demo crats, backed perhaps by tha JJemo crats of New England, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, will go to the convention united against Mr. Kryan and prepared to show that If he s the candidate Xew York Is lost to the Democratic party." Tour Senator are quoted upon the New 'York sit uation: Senator flore, of Oklahoma, who la friendly to Mr. Brysn and whose gtate has Instructed Its delegation for him. nald. when sked sbout the Newt York convention that the conditions In New York bring the party to a consideration of the question what It would do with out the vote of New lork. He thought the record of the convention might well be given serious consideration, and must be weighed In the events of the next few months.' "Senator Johnston, of Alabama, said that what had happened In New York was a more aerlous matter then a mere local struggle. It , Indicated that - there was opponltlon to th leading candidate now In the Held for the nomination, and this msy Incre to th extent which may require careful reconsidering. Senator Stone, of Mlmourt, whoae State la strongly for Mr. Bryan, said he looked upon the trouble In New York as purely local; that It was not expect ed that the convention would Instruct for Bryan, so thst In tnai senae n w. ..v a disappointment. Senator Simmons, of v North Carolina, aald It waa poaalble that the result of he .. v,i, invention may lead to me lection of a con.ldorable number of tm- w.. .. A.-wmifm In Ml IWUin. n ,k.hi hi. Would be a wise course to pursue, so the convention ',,d PP the work of making the nomination In sn opon-mlnded way. Meanwhile, It Is stated, the move- ment for Judge Gray In Delaware I active. His friends will shortly ena out a, biography and appeal In book form. Delaware ha already Instruct ed for him over hi objection, and much emphasis Is laid upon strength which he is believed to posses In the principal mining States. Toward every candidacy except Mr. Bryan tne ise hmakan and hi active lieutenant have begun using abusive tactics. "Mr Bryan and his spokesmen In various part of the country." w read, "are adopting the policy of charging all who are opposing his nomination of being-under the influence of Wall Street and 'predatory wealth.' They are thus taking to themselves the sole right to represent all Interests of the 'people' and to be the custodians of the opposition to Wall 8treet. Thi was shown in a recent editorial In Tha Omaha World-Herald, whose ed itor Is supposed to be the special mouthpiece of the Xebraskan candi date In the dally press. Illinois will probably bo heard from within the next twenty-four hour. If that State' action la a predicted by The. Herald the Democratic party will have gone far along the path toward deliverance.
