Chicago mob, and the present candidate
for Governor of Illinois on the Popocratic
ticket
And who are the other leaders who
have rallied to Mr.. Brysn's support ?
"Bloody Brides" Waite, PETER. Jerry
Simpson, Lewellyn, the man who Almost
Kansas into civil war Coxey.
and other hair.brained theorists. who.
with others Of their ilk, brought Kansas
and Nebraska to the verge of ruin by
their foolish theories. It is true these
are not all the lieutensnts of Mr.. Bryan,
nor the principal part of them. But It is
the doctrines that they have been teach.
ing that were crystalized in the Chicago
platform, and every line of which Mr..
Bryan says he supports.
Look at the doctrines endorsed by Mr..
Bryan and see how much he tails short
of being an anarchist, himself?
He denounces MI. Cleveland, the Presi.
dent Of the county for doing his sworn
duty in enforcing the u. 8. laws when
called on by the courts.
He denounces the President for en-.
forcing the q. 8. laws in the States.
He denounces the u. S. Courts for pro.
tecting the property of U. 8. citizens
against mob violence.
He denounces the U. 8. Courts for
stopping the destruction of property by
the torch of the anarchist.
He urges people to violate the obliga.
tion of their contracts with men who
accommodated them with money when
they we're in need.
He seeks to array the poor against the
rich, by charging that the rich have rob.
bed the poor by legislation against silver.
What more could an anarchist advo.
cate who wanted to precipitate civil war
between the rich and the poor, and who
wanted to protect the mob against the
hand of the law?
Mr.. Bryan, if he is not an anarchist, is
toying with dynamite, powder and fire,
which is none the less dangerous to the
country.
1t will not do to say the great Demo.
cratic party is opposed to anarchism,
and therefore there is no danger. It is
opposed to anarchism. But the Popu.
lists and Altgelds and Bryans captured
the Democrat party at Chicago, ran the
Democrat crew out of the ship, and load
ed her with their own cargo.
The South in 1851 did not want war.
Much the larger part of the people of
the South did not want war or secession.
They were opposed to both. But the
Yanceys and Davises, and Tombses, and
other hot heads called conventions,
secession to popular vote, carried the
people of the South into desolsting war.
It Is the hot heads in Mr.. Bryan's
party who will force him to do their
bidding.
Debs and others who were leaders in
the Chicago strike did not intend to 20
the length the mob went but they set up
an irresponsible mob of unprincipled
men to defy the law, and when the laws
cremated hv the brand ofthe incendiarv.
