Tae Cleveland element in the Dem

enough to defeat Bryan in two elec

Iirjan was defeated, but the I'opu

Defeat for them caa only be tem

be compelled to aek other quarters,
or tbey will obtain entiro control of

But the principles of the People's

THE PltlMAUV 1MAN.
There seems to be much oppocU
tlon to the adoption of the primary
method of nominating cacdijates
for office. It is stated that a great
many members of the General As
sembly are opposed to the innova
tion. It Is quite natural that they
should be opposed to such a plan
for the selection of candidates, for
these men as a rule were nomina
ted by the lnQ ienceof the Simmons
machine. They fvar the masses of
their own party. With machine
methods tbey can control tie party;
without them they can not.
The Simaaonsltes know full well
that with a free opportunity given
to tbe rank and file even of the
Democratic party to express their
preference for men to hold tho off
ices, they would be "weighed in
the balance and found wanting "
For this reas m It Is not at all
surprising that the Legislature,
which was elected by machine
methods, should oppose the adop
tion of the voting system to select
candidates for olllje.
The Simmonsltes think with the
present method of nominating can
didates that they can perpetuate
their power la the S:ate.
It remains to be seen whether the
rank ana file of the Democratic
party will permit the machine to

then the 71 electoral vote-s would

Bryan, and this would have madu

up t the present we have failed to

of Popul sts aud K publicans who
the Simmons men allevd would

use any otber hon rable methods,

history would repeat itself ia the
rapid assembling of patriots to up
hold aud preserve tbe national hon
or uuoer toe inspiration oi a uew
century Lincoln. Such a movement
would arouse a patriotic enthusi
asm not equaled s.nce the majestic
uprising of 1800
Although unsuccessful at the
polls, Bryan is a mightier man to
day tban his successful opponent
He is the greatest political crusa
der the world has ever seen. He
stands alone. He is enough of a po
litical genius to become the found
er of a great, new party, even as
Jefferson was the founder of the
Democratic and Lincoln of the Ite
puoucaa party, luuiions or men
would enthusiastically rally around
him. State after state would swing
to his standard. It is not extrava
gant to say tbat under these condi
tions Bryan could hold two thirds
of the Democratic party and very
soon attract at least one third of
the lie-publican party. These,- to-
getberwith other reform forces
would give us a majority ot th
votes of the country before another
election.
I believe that had such a party
been formed four years ago Bryan
wnu.d have triumphed at this time.
Tbre were hundreds ot thousands
of R publicans who would gladly
have v"ted 'or,nim. who would not
move into the Democratic canon or
neip n store tnat party- to power.
We lost because we thus failed to
make inroads in the Republican
ranks.
Accordingly, I propose tbat at an
early date we have a conference of
the leaders of tbe parties referred to,
in the central part of the country,
for the purpose of effecting an im
mediate union, tnat we may begin
at once the organization of the new
party. These forces should prompt
ly come together. We must unite
or disintegrate. The sooner this ini
tlal step U taken the better, bo that
the great, new movement may be
gin with the dawning of the new
centuiy.

Terrific rumblings and reports star
u a tbe citizens of Blngamtnn

rushed from their homes and be
held the hillside caving In and r
great avalanche of earth, stone and
coal rolling toward the creek. It
Sremed tbat tbe crust of tbe who
earth was being broken by some
subterranean force and the specta
tors contemplated an earthquake
with dire results. At daylight li
was seen that five coal mines In
that vicinity had been ott-rlv de
stroyed. The strata of limestone
above the coal had been rent and
the bluff nf the bill hair a mile
long and 20 feet deep wa9 precipita
ted to Bin gum ton creek bnow, a
distance of 100 feet, f .rciog the
stream out of its natural course
Mime distance. Many or the bowl
ders In the avalanche were 30 feet
long and 10 feet thick, and contain
ed 3 000 cubic feet. Many large
tri es came down with tbe rocks
Tne bluff just adjtcent has a crevice
about 40 feet long and eight feet
wide at th grt ater end It is ex
pected to fall shortly and destroy
another mine
Quite a number of miners em
ployed in the mines that were ne
etroyed were on their way to the
mines when the disturbance occur
n d and were fortunate in such a
narrow escape from death. Tnev
could not have bfen rescued. The
destroyed mines had been worked
a great many years, but were prop
erly propped and In excellent coo
dltlon. The cause of the avalanche
is unknown. Tbe damage is esti
matl to involve a loss of about
$300,00 1. Many men will be thrown
out of employment Indefinitely,

were those of a child. 8he was. only
two feet two inches in height, could
only articulate such worda as she
used when two years old, played
with picture books, and in every way
ao'a as a cnua.
Htf face, however, was wrinkled
like tbat cf an extremely old woman

cf a number ot physicians.
