different purpose, to explain those acts.
I feel that he has placed himself in a
position where such acts are properly
the subject of criticism by any one. Had
he chosen to keepssuch acts within the
privacy of his own life, deny the right
of any one to criticise them. But hav-
ing deliberately chosen such an oppor-
tunity TO challenge the attention OF the
public and to attempt to explain them.
The case is altered. He has been dem
ocrat for twelve years and yet he voted
for Hon. Kettle Halvorson in 1890, the
populists candidate for congress,
against Mr.. Whiteman. the nominee OF
his own party, and now attempts to
justify that act Of treachery by the fact
that Mr.. Whiteman was afterwards
accused Of the crime of forgery. crime

though once convicted, Mr.. Whiteman
has obtained new trial with fair pros
poets of being able to prove his lnnocense.

What Makes Hard Times.

the following, credited to exchange"
1t states the real attitude of Bryan so
clearly and truthfullv that it is deserv-
ing OF a place in this column:
Mr.. Bryan and his corps of free silver
erators constantly denounce idle CAPT.
tai, Mr.. BRYAN knows that idle capital
is always he result of lack of confidence.
He also knows that idle capital makes
idle men If one set OF men have the
capital and another set of men who are
workers stand ready to be employed by
this capital. then there must he condi-
ton of harmony between the people w no
own the capital and the men who stand
ready TO go to work or there will be no
work. II plan is proposed which
makes capital afraid. end II the workers
stand ready by their votes and their
majorities to carry out this plan, then
il is but natural that the men who con-
troll the capital. being afraid ofthis new
plan, will hoard their capital and keep
it idle rather than risk it under condi-
tions which they believe will be disas-
trous. Does it then avail anything to
the labor,ng man that this capital is de-
nounced as the enemy of the country!
