Mr.. Bryan is demonstrating to the sober
sense of the country his utter unfitness fol
the presidency. His speeches are the ut
terances of man with glib tongue and
mcasureless concelt, but without judgment
conscience or information. The thoughtful
people, and there are more thoughtful peo-
pie this year than ever, are comparing this
empty speechmaker with his dignified and
thoughtful opponent who remains at his
home in Canton. They may go to see and
hear Bryan as they would go to see any
novelty, but they will vote for the man who
speaks to the American people the words
of a statesman and a patriot.

to participate in n joint meeting to dis

that these business organizations arc
attempting to mix politics with eXposi

managers Of all parties to nominate the

Brynn's March in the East Not with

Louisville Courier-Journa (dem.)
Mr.. Bryans progress eastward from Lin
coin has been aptly termed another Coxey'
march. There were the same complaints O
poverty and suffering, the same thnly
yelled threats of revolution, the same sd
phistical appeals to weak reason and greed
the same proclamations of faith in the abil
ity and duty of the government to TAX
care of the suffering and the shiftless, th
habitual idler and the unemployed; the sam
spectacular performances at the cross road
and the same predictions that the army
would grow until it would force the grant
ing of the petition.
Those who recall the fever Of the days Il
the early spring of 1894, when General
Coxey and General" Kelly and Carl Brown
moved across the continent defying work
houses and demanding charity of farms an,
cities, when the newspapers printed col
umn after column of excited de
tails about these armies, when th
police were alarmed and the ap
prehensions of the militia were aroused, will
at once recognize the similarity of tn,

been known to me for some years
represents lawyers who have few client\
financers who have no funds, and stated
manship which is made up of sixteen partv
of elocution TO one of study, experience AMI
wisdom. But personally Mr. Bryan is
pious man, self-a adjustable to circumstance
and capable of versatility, as he demon
strated when running for congress in thi(
district by addressing Sunday school at
church in Pawnee City in the morning and
making a speech from a saloon counter q
the patrons in the evening.
Mr.. Bryan is reported to have said re-
Gently to "the common people" "Never did

and yet in his race for congress in 1892, In

Bryan, to secure gold standard democratic

headed by Hon J. Sterling Morton foI

To western farmers Bryan talked cheap
dollars-52-cent dollars, with which to pay
lOO-cent dollar debts. In New York he
declared that free coinage would lift the
price of silver to equal intrinsic value with
gold. That was for eastern consumption
but, on being asked what would be accom-
plished for his party by continuing the
gold standard, Mr.. Bryan was not able to
reply. The ayowed purpose of his party Is
to abolish the gold standard, and when
that is done the silver dollar in this coun~
try will stand simply on its bullion value
in the market, and nothing else

Major MeEiHiby's remark TO the farmers

more than ,kIhs 9pigram. 1t was the state

wealth corpts fIom the work he does in the
world and the market he is able to find for
the fruits of his labor. and not from the
amount OF money in existence. All the money
coined will not do him any good unless he
has something to give for it and unless
other men can use what he has to give.

Viewed from a republican standpoint, ii
may be said that high water mark was
reached by benjamin Harrison last night
in his speech at Carnegie hall, in New
YORK. In no previous effort of the cam
pagn have the doctrines of the party been
presented with so much clearness and vgOr
Mr.. Harrison never made a poor speech in
his life, and it is doubtful whether he could
do so, even If he were to try. He always
has something to say, and in a manner
which commands attention. The Hoosier
who asserted that Little Ben was always
at his best when on his feet" was right.

We have received numerous letters from

purports to be editorials from The Financial

stating it is from the London Financial

that it spells reputation and the with

By all odds the best part of the pro-

anything we have heard in the city. 1t

Mr.. Knoll and Miss Mcneil make de-
