1 a Dismissal of the Charges Against the Controller. There Is more than the mere Scotch verdict of not the conclusion reached' by the Governor concerning the charges preferred against the Controller In connection with the 111,004,000 bond sale made by the citys chief financial officer "In the flrst jnrfR. of the present municipal administration. The charges are dismissed after separate anamination of the evidence by the Attorney-General and the Governor as "entirely without foundation. It would have been more aatlifactory, perhaps.

If tlie facts of refutation were fully set forth rather than the mere conclusions resulting from a private enarhlnatlon of the evidence, in view of the manner in which the charges were originally presented.

From Flttsbur. comes an Instance elucidating thin point. For fifty years Thornes Telqjon, an upholsterer, now 05 yar old, has been a dcafrautu On Monday he had a. fall from a roof, blighting on his head, was picked up and taken to the hospital In an ambulance. He surprised the surgeone by asking where they-were taking him, and pouring out a steady stresun of talk during the rest of the day.

It is stated that, although a resident of Pittsburg for fifty years he used the broad of his birthplace, Boston, and the filing while every Plttsburger uses th. flat "a and the rislnar Inflection. ment by Mr, Bryan since hie nomination that he does not even exclude Vermont from the list of States that he will carry this autumn Is altogether characteristic of the man. His perfect confidence In his own powers and future Is one explanation of his Influence at Kansas City. Notwithstanding his defeat In 1195 Mr.

Bryan has never wavered from the opinion that he has been especially choeen to lead the plain people out of the Inequalities from which they think they suffer to betteq and happier days. He thinks he wag not thoroughly understood In 1896. Mr. Bryan Is accustomed to compare himself with Abraham Lincoln, and his devoted followers see no egotism In such a comparison. They arc even Inclined to resurd tt as complimentary to Lincolns memory, The convention was almost wholly emo tional, guided by the controlling Idea of nominating Mr.

Bryan and doing what, ever be thought beet The delegates, with vepr few exceptions, resembled In their habits of thought the men formed the Populist party a decade ago. There, was a striking similarity In ep. earance and habits between the men at Kansas City and those who formed tho Populist Convention that nominated Weaver In 1892 at Omaha. Tha Kansas City affair was njt a Democratic conven tlon, judging by what has been regarded as Democratic In the past. There were a few of the old-time Democratic leaders there, particularly from the South, but as a matter of fact all that remains of ths old Democracy Is the name.

It will not do to say that ths men who composed the convention at Kartsas City were not as a tule sincere andarnest, but their earnestness was of the fanatical kind. They had been roused, as had tliose whom they represented, into fe sincere belief In the Idea that 'Mr. Bryan was he leader who was to readjust the social Ilfs of the nation and give everyone an equal opportunity. They had been moved to this view by the Populist, crusade, silver propaganda, the fiery, turgid oratory of yhich Mr. Bryan la the representative and which is so customary In the West, the sensational plcturlngs of ths Injustices due to trusts and to special privileges granted a few; in fact, by all the the New East River Bridge begem to advertise for bids for the contract to build the approaches to the bridge that la being built under their supervision.

Bryan with a devotion al moat Idolatrous. They had beeen con-varted by his rather magnetic Oratory, hla evident sincerity, and by the qualities of leadership which bring men to him and hold them. The crowd at Kansas City was typical of the more Intense element of the new Democracy, nine out of every ten being fiercely determined and seal oua believers and advocates of what they termed the cause of the people, which Is In reality a hatred of wealth and the feeding that those who have accumula tlone are oppressing the poor, one of the developments of the calamity oratory of the past few years and of Mr. Bryans own leadership. Scattered among the delegatee ht the crowd were a.

few practical Democratic politicians, just sufficient la number to leaven the mass. They were all that was left to hold the 'party to Its name. The Democracy of to-day has been Inoculated with Populism and the spirit which' prevails Is really an aggravation of what was found at Omaha in 1892. This radicalism which affects the Democracy ot to-day comes chiefly from the West, and would he more manifest In the Democratic platform had It not been restrained by the conservatism of some of the Eastern men and especially of the Southerners. who are old time Democrats, With this absorption of Populistic Ideas has come a marked lowering in the character of tho delegates.

There Is little of the practical about them, and their personal character and ability ia not as high as that of the delegates to' any of the recent Rational Democratic Conventions. Massachusetts furnished an example at Kansas City of the decadence of the Democracy which Is quite significant of the effect of Bryanlem upon the party. Instead of men of the type of the late Gov, Russell, or the late Sherman Hoar, and of that are vain, the heathen Chinee is Indeed peculiar.

It Is true the "decree claims that tlie foreign legations are being protected by the Imperial troope; but the fact that at the date of the decree, sent Out Via Shanghai, or, In the ten days since, not member of any foreign legation has been heard from, Is a portent of awful significance.

IMEO TO OPEN I Nothing but the most positive evidence would have made me consider those charges for an Instant. The Attorney General considers them, however, to be more serious than anything that has yet been preferred against any New York City official." The dispatch went on to say among other things: It Is understood here that the evidence, which is conveyed In several hundred typewritten documents, was obtained In part from the private memoranda of the Controllers office, from papers supposed to have been known only to the Controller and his most confidential clerks. They Include invitations from the Controller to banking houses to make bids for bonds and the replies, naming figures the financial concerns would pay.

They are alsc understood to contain offidavlts of a startling character, and. In fact, the evidence, which the Governor has not yet made known, is by all means the real sensation in the matter, the formal brief merely intimating the character of the charges. The Governor was not the only man to hesitate before accepting these charges. The career and character of the Controller, his standing asbn offl clal during this time when scandal has been rife, made even the men who formulated the charges pause before presenting their case to the Governor. Conference after conference has been held in New Tork when all the evidence was carefully weighed and every poselblllty 'of doubt was placed in the scales.

Mr. Swanstrom and. It Is said a man high In legal circles were asked to go over the facts collected and to give their opinion as to whether the proceedings should continue. Finally at a conference held last week t1 order waa given to print the brief and Mr. Swanstrom was instructed to see the Governor at once and to demand the removal of the financial officer of the city.

Then followed the charges In detail, accusing the Controller of making deliberately false representations relative to the city's credit for the purpose of misleading bona fide bidders and containing a letter from Mr. Head, of Yermllya A Co. one of the bidders which, It was alleged, showed that a brother of the Controller, who was a member of the firm of W. N. Coler St Co a firm of bond brokers of which the Controller hfmeelf was a member, was actively interested In the trust or syndicate which succeeded In getting the bonds at the small figure of $104.94, as above stated, thus being enabled to make, as is apparent, probably 91.000.000 on the for the bonds of the city went up in price, the timidity caused by the official declarations of the Controller against the city's credit being dispelled by this sale.

Xt would appear, accepting as correct the conclusion reached and announced by the Governor and Attorney-General, that the "Eagle" has been badly buncoed by somebody. Mr. Coler vehemently denied the truth of the charges, but at first refused to discuss them until the hearing before the Governor, which he asked should be held at the earliest possible moment later, as the matter of the hearing seemed to drag, the Controller made a newspaper state-meht In which he categorically denied the charges, and promised to produce evl. dence before the Governor from leading lawyers and financial men that would make up a complete refutation. The fact that the Governor dismissed the charges without thinking it necessary to hear that evidence, must be very gratifying to the Controller.
