vAGARIEs OF THE ANARCHIST CANDIDATE

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Among the many glazing contradictions Ut
tered by w !. Bryan. he refers I'm his letter Of
acceptance TO the Chicago platform in the follow
ing words: Il have carefully considered the plat
form adopted by the Democratic National Con-
vention. and unqualihedly indorse each plank
thereof"
The Chicago platform thus Endorsed by the An
archist candidate distinctly and unequvocaliy de
MES the right and duty OF the President 10 put
down by force riots which oppose and interfere
with in erstate commerce and the carrying OF the
malls. which the Constitution and the laws make
It his bounden duty to protect.
In direct contradiction with Mr.. Bryan's indorse-
ment as above stated. he says in another part OF
the same letter frightened by the unmistakable
feeling evoked thereby: Honest difftr Fences OF
opinion have ever existed. and ever VIII exist, a.
to the most effective means Of securing domestic
tranquility, but citizen fails 10 recognize, at
all times and under all circumstances the aoso-
lutte necessity for the prompt and vigorous On
forcemont Of law and the preservation OF peace"
etc This is on a par with and equally logical
with Mr.. Bryans preaching OF the resulting al
vantage Of hfty-cent dollars in the West and his
assurance In the Eastern cities that. under his
administration" silver bullion would undouuteul!
rise in price 10 81 20 an ounce.
The Anarchist candidate once more informs us
that all men are created equal; no doubt mean-
Ing that or the Saturday next following his cleo
ton a division Of all property WILL or shouid'
take place. be followed by like proceeding
every Saturday evening apparently overlooking
thu fac. that an authority-it will generally be
conceded if not by himself. at least equal to his
own-haJ said The poor you VIII always nave
with you." meaning that in the plans or 600 d.
yersiues in the capacities and opportunities OF
man would always exist
Against the idle rodomontade and empty YER
