Don't let as skim and skim the

the family depend for their daily

TnAT nELEGATE.

electing adelegate to congress
before a bill providing for such /
an official has been passed. |
There is also some question as to
the manner of selection and the
method of nominating and |
electing. Quite a number think |
that to elect a delegate |
before December and send him |
to Washington when congress
convenes would be fatal to the
passage of a bill, providing for
seating him as he would appear
in the lightof a lobbyist working
for his own personal advance
ment as much or more than
representative laboring for the
interest of 100000 people. The
question ofreconciling this posi-
ton with the dignity of the office
TO which he had been elected,
would be a knotty one and in
the minds of many wholly in
consistent. There are others
/ who think a delegate should be
elected on strict party lines,
nominated by party conventions
and as this would insure a
democratic delegate, he would
have the united support of all
the democrats in congress.
Again lit is reasoned that to
pursue this policy would be to
defeat the very object that it is
the desire of our people to at
: tain as republican committees
must first consider the bill for
his admission and a republican
J congress must finally pass such
: a bill, and it is argued that the
I, republicans just now are not
q giving their attention wholly to
creating offices for the demo-
: Gratis to occupy. Many people
) believe an Indian representing
g the progressive element should
be selected regardless of politics,
9 thinking his nationality would
i be the strongest possible argu-
: ment in favor of seating him.
From the maze of theories and
ideas advanced, it seems to us
: that the following plan would
be the most practical and most
likely to attain the desired end.

OPINIONS.
OF a Leading PopuIist and a Silver Demo
erat In Old Missouri Regarding
Bryan's Speech.

U. +. Sargent. leading POpulist
Bryan's speech was a thorough
and exhaustive presentation of the
whole silver question and a com
plete defense of the platform adopt
ed at Chicago He stated the OBJ
iections to the platform and then
answered them clearly. II was
not so full of fiery eloquence as his
Chicago speech, but more argu-
menta.ive. He expressed my views
exactly regarding an income tax and
showed that former supreme court
decisions upheld the constitution
ality of the income tax law. Mr..
Bryan went a step further and
demonstrated that the Chicago
platform was not revolutionary.
George F. Longan. judge Of the
circuit court. silver Democrat
Bryan's New York speech is the
strongest silver argument ] ever
read. He covers the whole ground
thoroughly and refutes every OBJ
lection the gold men make. II il
well worded and so strong i'm rea-
son and argument that it must con-
vince every unbiased mind of the
correctness of his views. con
slider it absolutely unanswerable.
1t was. of course. altogether differ
ent from his Chicago speech. but
was as replete with logic and argu-
ment as that was with Oratorical
