people, though, are entitled to relief
from the vindict ivcness, falsebood and
lclap-trap Of the recent presldential CAM

Mr.. Bryan, and denounces him for dar-
ing t:,resume the discussion Of the mo-
Iney question SO soon after his defeat for
the presidency This same journal,
though. has ever since tile election shown
undimmed and unremitting malice
toward those who took the silver side Of
the issue during the late campaign t
has practically taken diurnal OCCASION to
remind them that they are anarchists
and repudiationists, and that their sue
cess at the polls would have been cal-
amity beyond repair. It has reminded
them in every issue that they ought to
be in deep humiliation for the attempt
they made on the honor and integrity of
the country. It has endeavoled, appar-
emily, to keep burning the fires Of hate
which were kindled in the exciting clos
ing days of the contest.
Another New York paper, in an edi-
torial about the negotiations between the
United States and Great Britain on the
Venezuelan matter, goes out Of its way
to use this preposterous language: ..The
American people have just won the CRATE
full admir- alton of Europe by their splen-
did 'vindication of their intelligence, hon.
esty and patriotism against a Populist
assault which threatened the peace as
well as the honor and property Of the
nation" After the election is over, and
the people of the United States have.
quietly resumed their vocatlons, when
nowhere in the land is there the slightest
indication of revolt, when responsible
men of all parties are uniting in an en-
deavor to restore the prosperity which
has been so long absent, this despicable
proclamation is made to other countries.
that nearly one-half of the people of the
Union, as shown by the vote, are lawless
and rebellious and that this republic has
narrowly escaped overthrow by its in
ternal rottenness. We frequently blame.
the people of England and continental
countries for their lack of true intorma.
ton about the United States, and for
their assumption that we are young and
backward in civilization. What right,
though, have we to complain when we.
are sending them such slanderous stuff
as we have quoted? ~. ~
Other papers besides those printed in
New York are pursuing the policy of
continuous hate and disturbance. If
they think that there is nothing to occu-
py the attention of the people of the
United States but violent party politics
let them 60 on till they find themselves
shockingly deceived some day. What
Mr.. Bryan may do is no excuse for them.
He is acting on his own responsibility
and if the people do not want to hear
him they need not attend his meetings.
1t is not the purpose of the Enquirer to
take ground as to whether the present
action of Mr.. Bryan is wise or unwise
but it may be at least said If him that he
is speaking on high ground, and is not
denouncing those who differ with him as
criminals and conspirators against the
government. Il. I:
