On August 18th last Mr.. Bryan printed
an editorial advocating the election of a
southern man for President. and recon-
mended several Confederate officers for
the honor. This is the principal part or
Mr.. Bryan's appeal for a southern Presi-
dent:
The time has come for the selection Of
a southern man for a place on the ma
tonal Democratic ticket. For thirty years
it has been customary TO select the presi-
Dental candidate from the East, and the
candidate for Vice-President from the
West. or from that portion of the West
lying east of the Mississippi river. Why
should this discrimination continue? The
war Is over, the enmities aroused by civil
strife have disappeared and those who
wore the gray are working shoulder TO
shoulder with those who wore the blue
I'm the development OF our common coun-
try. In the great struggle now in pro-
gress distinguished sons Of the South are
doing yeoman's service in behalf of the
money of the Constitution. why should
they bear the burden OF the fight, and
yet be denied the privilege OF receiving
honors at the hands of their country
men?
Among the older men OF the South, Sena-
tor Morgan, OF Alabama: Senator Black
burn, Of Kentucky, and Senator McLau-
rim. Of Mississippi and Senator Daniel,
of Virginia, are especially worthy of con-
sderation. They are old men OF high
standing. great ability. and unquestioned
devotion TO the cause Of bimetallsm. Any
one Of these would add strongly TO a ma
tional ticket. If one OF the younger gene
ration is preferred. the South can furnish
many sons, who have grown up since the
war, and yet who have earned distnc-
ton for themselves Without discrimi-
mating against those not mentioned. n
few names may be suggested which are
known throughout the land. Governor
Culberson, Of Texas: Governor Clarke. of
Arkansas; Governor Tillman, Of South
Carolina and Governor Atkinson, OF Geor-
gia, have justified the wisdom OF their
selection in their respective States.
ANARCHY HAS NO PLACE IN THIS
COUNTRY"
The following editorial, which appeared
November II. 1895. was also written by
Mr. Bryan:
The Anarchists in Chicago did not hold
memorial services over the graves OF
those of their comrades who were exc
cuted for participating in the Haymarkct
riots. For seven years II has been their
custom TO hold exercises of this charac-
ter in Waldheim Cemetery, where the re-
mains OF their misguided friends are
buried; but the directors of the cemetery
this year refused TO permit II. 1t seems
harsh to prohibit a tribute by the living
to its beloved dead, but In this case the
action of the directors was justihable.
These annual gatherings have hot been
those of genuine mourning. but the par
Elephants have used the place and occa-
sion TO teach their doctrines and TO
stir up an animosity against the law and
its officers.
Anarchy has no place in this country.
either in the busy walks OF life or I'm
the quiet city OF the dead. Anarchy is
an enemy to peace. 10 society. and 10
happiness. 1t Is not to be tolerated in any
country. Much less has it any cause for
existence or federation in this country,
and its friends and devotees cannot use
the sacredness Of the grave as means
for spreading their unwholesome doctrines
and to STIR up new strife against the
law that accords to even the teachers of
arson and assassination a fair and i'm
partial trial before jury of their peers.
ON THE NOMINATION OF MKINLEY
AND HOBART.
After the nomination OF Mckinley and
Hobart at st. Louis Mr.. Bryan edi-
torially attacked Mr.. Hobart, and re-
printed the Worlds criticism. OF Mr..
Mckinley he said:
In selecting William Mckinley as its
standard-bearer the Republican party
chose the strongest man within its ranks.
He is man of good character, and per-
sonally no objection can be urged against
him.
1t is amazing that man for whom the
people OF this country entertain such a
high regard as they do for Mr.. Mckinley
bearer of a cause that has brought upon
us all of our woe, and the continuation
of which will make prosperity impossible.
But the people will vote for the mea-
sures, not men, this year. and Mr.. Nc
Kinley, as the representative Of an I'M
American measure. will go down TO de-
feat.
HIS LAST.
The last editorial written by Mr.. Bryan
appeared on July 1st, nine days before he
was nominated. 1t was an answer TO tho
charge made by the Atchison Globe that
he had advised the people to oppose The
bankers always. The following extract
contains the germ OF Mr.. Bryan's ar
gument:
The banker Is n man, nothing more.
nothing less and his opinions are en-
titled TO all due consideration. But no
man should permit another man to do
his thinking for him. There are many
bankers who are sincere and consistent
bnetallists. There are others who are
sincere gold bugs. There are some who
advocate the single-gold standard when
they do not believe Its preservation VIII
be beneficial 10 the country, but for rea-
sons best known TO themselves they
adhere TO the advocacy of that standard.
The opinions OF all bankers are en-
titled to unusual consideration because
of their experience In financial matters,
but the banker must be able to back up
his opinion with logic.
Because the banker has had wide ex-
perience in money matters is no reason
that another man should believe the
bankers mere statement that black Is
white. particularly when the other man
knows that black is not white.
