why Young Hearst supports Bryan

New York Letter to Providence Journal.
Besides the News, the penny Tammany
organ, the Journal is now out for Bryan.
Up to the present it has been editorially
indorsing the sound-money cause and the
flop IS complete and final, including I'M
qualified support of all that the Chicago
platform carries. It's editorial announce
ment is not convincing, being based main
ly on the claim that the platform has been
grossly misrepresented. The Journal Is so
new a newspaper as to have no editorial
influence here, while knowledge Of the
personal fortune of its proprietor, William
r. Hearst, and his mother, widow of Sem
ator Hearst. being largely bound up with
the interests of the silver mines Of Cali
fornia and Colorado robs the declaration
OF all value it might otherwise have.
Newspaper politics also has something to
do with It as with practically all the DEM
ocratic press of the east boiling the Bryan
ticket there is apparently a field for the
Journal to gain circulation. Experience
has shown that circulations secured un-
der such conditions are unreliable and
soon fade away. but the silver friends Of
the Hearsts will probably be willing to
make good the losses by contributions at
least during the campaign.
