From the St. Louis Wsstleich Post (dem }:
The unexpected has happened; the
Chicago convention of fools has placed
upon its crazy platform, not the logical
candidate for the presidency, Mr.. Bland.
but his pupil, young Bryan OF Nebraska.
from the Louisville tKy) Courier-Jour-
nal (dem.):
Such foolhardy and bastard leader.
ship, and such a radical revolution of
the very life principles of democracy,
whose subscrviency To party form is not
dictated by their desire TO share in the
official spoils of party success.
From the New York Stats Zeitung
(dem.):
Circumstances have made William
Mckinley the man around whom all
must rally who desire To defeat deter
minedly the candidate of the pseudo
democracy, William j. Bryan, who
stands for fiat money under the guise
of bimetallism; for notification of law.

ism and lawlessness.
From the Lexington (ky.) Herald (dem J:
The Herald is democratic; il is neither
republican, populst, a communist nor
an anarchist. 1t cannot approve either
the republican platform adopted at ST.
Louis OF the populist and anarchist
platform adopted at Chicago. 1t does
not desire to be compelled to choose
between the very respectable Major
Mckinley, and the eloquent young pop

controlled by and has spoken for the
disappointed graybacks of the Confed-
crate armies and their kindred, and
the moonshining lazzaroni of the noun
tain districts of the South, and for the
whooping desperadOes, silver monopo-
lists and debt shirkers of the far West,
who never voted a democratic ticket
and never intend to.
from the New York World (dem.):
Lunacy having dictated the platform,
it was perhaps natural that hysteria
should evolve the candidate. The NOM
ination of the "bOy orator" for the
White House, at this juncture of the
nations affairs, domestic and foreign,
when the ripest experience, the best
tested wisdom, the broadest patriotism
and the greatest executive ability are
required, comes perilously near taking
the one fatal step from the sublime.
