HE is OLD ENOUGH.

The republicans are issuing a seriou:
charge against William j.. Bryan. II
is that he is too young to be ~intrusted
with tho duties of chief executive OF
this nation.
Was Thomas jefferson s'too young
when ut 33 he wrote the Declaration OF
independence?
Was William Pitt ''too young"
when at 81 he entered the house of
commons, and at % he was chancellor
of the eqchequer?
Was it because he was s.too youno''
that Charles Fox, at "A, resigned the
great office of lord of the admiralty ?
Was Parnell ''too young" to be a
member of parliament at 29P
Was Napoleon '.too young" when
at 81 lie was at the head of the army
of ItalyP
Was Gladstone 'too young" when
at % he entered the Office of under
secretary of the colonies?
Was Lafayette ''too young" when
at % he rendered his aid to the AmeIi-
can colonies?
Bryan will be 81 when he is inau-
gurated. Bryan has brains and integ-
riiy, and will get the votes. The
constitution says he is old enough, and
his administration will prove that he
is not ''too younp.n

BY WAY OF COMPARISON.

Comparisons are odious, but the
trend of politics sometimes calls them
into honest service.
While the republicans are bowling
about their Napoleon, Mckinley, and
singing their praises to him as their
patron saint, the democrats need make.
no higher claim for support of their
| candidate than that he is q man of the
people, a plain, ordinary American
man, naturally endowed with e%loquence
and common sense; in sympathy with
the great mass of American citizens,
and has brains enough 10 be president.
But the democratic nominee will
stand the comparison with the Canton
major. Take MIR. Hanna's candidate
on his favorite theme, the tariff, and
though he WAS a student of this sub
ject when Bryan was a boy, yet the
speeches delivered by Bryan, from the
standpoint of rhetoric, %eloquence or
logic, far surpass anything Mckinley
has ever delivered.
On the financial question Bryan has
done his W studying, and for al
argumentatlve as well as an eloquent,
logical speech, a make the republi-
cans ashamed of any comparison with
the Canton major.
Compare the records of the two
men in congress-, and you will find
Bryan doing his own thinking, while
Mckinley only represented the ideas of
the politicians of whom he has always
peer the plant tool.
In every forum of public service
Bryan's record challenges comparison
with that of McKinley's. If the repub-
licans don't believe this, let them enter
their little '~'Napoleon" for a series of
joint debates. Mr.. Bryan will meet
him anywhere and at almost any time.
If they don't think Bryan is big enough
to be president, let them measure HIM
with Mckinley,

a democrat will represent this dis
trict in the next congress. The plat
form adopted at Chicago settled this
fact almost beyond the peradventure
OF Il doubt.
Prior TO the Chicago convention there
was but one democrat suggested for
the nomination.
IL is different now.
Since the Chicago convention seven
of the Kansas City democrats have
declared themselves candidates for
congress, and it is said that several
others have congressional bees buzzing
closely around.
The convention will be held about
August 18th, and by that time the
crop of candidates bid fair to be I'M
paralleled.
The erstwhile doubtful brethren seem
to nave had a new political vision.
They see the congressional fruit right
in the grasp of some democrat, and
every fellow who is qualified seems to
be making a strong fight for a place
under the tree.
The crop of candidates for the office
lends a feeling of assurance to the
doubling Thomas in the party, and at
the same time Is beginning to empha-
size the INTELLIGENCER's statement
that this is a democratic district this
year, as well as to exhibit the impor-
tance of nominating Judge William
YouuU.
