The Ex-Governor Tell. Him His Election
Would Mean Ruin 90 the Country.
Ex.Gov Alonzo B. Cornell yesterday wrote
the following open letter TO William Jennings
Bryan:
To the Hon. William Jenninos Rrvnn Of Nebraska:
when you went to Chicago last month,
and by your individual eloquenoe captured
the national council OF the great Democratic
party and compelled 1t To award to you its
Presidential nomination, yor were hailed by
many as the possible Messiah who could lead
tho people out of their present difficulties.
Hosts OF Democrats and Republicans, long
dissatisfied with tho internal conduct Of their
respective party organizations, prayed that
II might bs so, and they have awaited in pa
thence and hope for full presentation OF
your views and mode of relief The <,0o0,-
600 people residing within an hour OF our
City Hall were especially gratiied that you
decided TO make your first deliberate eIpros-
sion in their midst, and that noble audi
torium had been arranged for your conven-
ience The general desire for n full understand
ing OF your ideas was shown by an eager as
semblage far too great In numbers to be ad-
mitted within Madison Square Garden or
any other enclosure In America Those unable
TO gain admission this morning proeented
with tho full text of your speech by the
daily press in admirable form, and thus all are
to-day permitted to give 1t full consideration
How great is our disappointment TO find
that your message of delivery is simply an tn-
geniously abbreviated esentatiou Of the va
rious arguments we have read in Congressional
debates during the past twenty-ave years.
The only advantage you poesess over the
threadworu arguments of Nevada Jones and
Windy Stewart, with which tons Of eonatoriI
reports have been weighted, is thet you nave
made your dissertation somewhat brtefer than
theirs. You were horn after hnooln made his
