Genoa Leader: II you see in the World
Herald don't you believe It,
Kearney Hub: Keep 1t before the peo
pie that the World -Heralds Financial News
forgery is ono of the methods OF the Bryan
campaign managers to make a campaign ou
OF nothing. Falsehood and forgery make Q
very good start in the direction OF the white
house.
York Times: Quotations from the Euro.
pean press in the WorldHerad are read
with considerable suspicion of late We dc
not exactly know just why it Is so. but that
forgery from the London Financial News OF
the expose Of the forgery may have some
thing to do with 1t.
Weeping Water Republican; The World
Herald got both feet in it when 1t forged
that London Financial News article and
The Bee in publishing a fac-simile of The
News denial has placed the Bryan organ
in a position not to be envied by any self
respecting publication.
Alliance Times: They've got one demo-
pop coon treed, anyhow. The Omaha World
Herald has been running a lot Of alleged
clippings from English newspapers calcu-
lated to make the sound money position OF
the republican party look nasty. Every
blessed one of the clippings are unadul-
terated forgeries. The World-Herald is
really nothing but a forgery anyhow.
Leigh World: None of the popocratc
Herald, are breaking their necks to repu-
diate the miserable fake they imposed upon
the country with glaring head lines, Paste
This in Your Hat" and purporting to come
from the Financial News, London. OF
course it was all a lie II this is a campaign
of education why not educate instead OF
misinforming. 1t is obviously the duty of
all those papers that printed that fake arti-
Gle to say that it was only piece of po-
ltical jugglery and has no weight Don't
deceive II you are trying to educate. Peo-
pie will get onto the right track finally.
Ashland Gazette: The World-Herald re-
ported between $500 and 5000 persons at
the train to greet Bryan when he passed
through Ashland. We wonder il this is a
fair sample of the difference between the
truth and the reports sent out by the Bryan
reporters to the Bryan meetings? At the
utmost there were not to exceed 600 per-
sons, all told. This number was made up
largely Of the pupils Of the public schools
who camo in body. The women and chill
dren made up the bulk of the crowd. One
hundred and nineteen Mckinley voters were
counted, and they comprised good major
ity of the adult males present Taking the
outside estimate made by any one here,
II we may calculate that the same proper
tion of falsehood appears in all the reports
of the Bryan meetings throughout the east
they must have been tame affairs.
Crete Vidette: The Salt Lake News and
Tribune pronounces the article forgery.
The World-Herald claimed the article was
taken from Philadelphia paper. Now it
comes out with the statement that John
Divine, a populist candidate for congress in
the Third district, furnished the article. He
claims that it was a clipping" sent him
by parties in London, and they claimed it
was taken from the Financial News of April
30, and not March 10, as claimed by the
Herald. The Bee has published fac-simile
letter from the editor of the News denying
In toto. the publication of any such article.
In fact, wherever 1t was published ii turns
out that the tenor of the article was quota
tions from free silver speech delivered in
the senate by Don Cameron. 1t is like the
garbled quotations from Lincoln Garfield
and Blaine. The World-Herald has got itself
in bad corner. In 1898, it published as an
editorial the strongest kind of an argument
in favor of a gold standard''-in 80 it ad-
mits that 1t was wrong 1t claimed too
that j. w. Bryan would mop the earth with
John Thurston. Here again it was woefully
wrong. 1t claimed confidently that ]. +.
the congressionally race-Dave was elected
by over 200 majority, and the World-Herald
was again wrong. Its last canard was in
cnce attending the free silver notification of
Bryan at Lincoln last Tuesday numbered
NEARLY 60,000." The highest estimate we
have heard by the most enthusiastic Bryan
ite was from 90, 900 to 25 900 But that is
about as near as the double-ender ever comes
to telling the truth. AS an original ali
around fake factory it takes the cake. II
is even discountenanced by its own party
papers.
