nunciation of fragrant abuses of public
Office or betrayed of public trust, but,
on the contrary, has permitted the pa
per for which he is ostenaibly the re.
sponsible editor to gloss over and de-
fend embellishments in public office,
gross official negligence and corrupt
collision with public plunderers, even
where the offenders were foisted into
office as republicans.
From the professional standpoint
Mr.. Bryan may be considered dismal
failure, His legal practice has never
amounted to anything worth mention
ing. His venture in the newspaper
business has not been regarded as Sc
rious in these parts. While be has
been nominal editor of the Omaha
WorM-Herald since September 1, 1894,
he has 10 reality been mere journal
istic 6gurehead. His name has been
paraded at the head of the weekly
edition to draw free silver delusionists,
but was soon taken out of the daily and
has not been replaced Instead of de-
voting time to the paper, he has been
travelling about the country five weeks
out of six as the paid champion of the
Bimetallic League.
Gas a politician, Bryan has displayed
no organizing ability. He is good
stump speaker and an effective cam
paigner. But that is all. If he has
any executive capacity it has not yet
manifested itself. He has never held
any executive position and has never
had an opportunity to exercise any fac
ulty he may possibly possess in that
direction. The best business men in
Omaha, regardless of party, look upon
him as a man OF immature judgment
who would constitute an extra-hazard
GUS risk as head of the national govern
ment."

Bryan and Watson,

Bryan and Watson, says the Concord
Monitor, were in congress together,
and in the debate on the tariff in the
ffty-second congress Mr.. Watson was
chosen by the populists to reply to the
"Boy Orator." Selecting April first
as the fitting date to squelch the Ne
brsskan, Mr.. Watson paid his respects
to his present chief in these words:
"Oa the other hand we have our
handsome and brilliant friend from Ne
braska (Bryan), who was put forward
as the darling of the democratic side
OF the house, the prettiest man in all
the bunch, and his entire speech, which
ranged from Tom Moore's poetry to
Joe Miller's textbook, was the sum and
substance of the old democratic posi-
ton on the tariff, that we will practice
what is wrong while we know what is
right"
These remarks were received with
considerable amusement. After fur

Cutting Pensions In Two.

The st. Louis populist platform
throws this sop to Federal pensioners
and applicants for PENSIONS: /" We IA
vor just pensions for our disabled
Union soldiers"
For "just pensions" read "pen-
sions payable in fifty-cent dollar"
The men who nominated Bryan at
st. Louis, like the men who
nominated Bryan at Chicago, want
to cheat every pensioner out of
half the amount of the pension. We
say "want to cheat" because I'M
less the makers of the Bryan platform
at Chicago and St. Louis are to be re-
garded as irresponsible and lunatic,
they must be regarded as Intending the
palpable and inevitable consequence
of their own words translated into acts /;
and the scaling down of every pension
by fifty per cent would be an newt
able consequence of the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to /. How do
the old soldiers, how do the widows
and orphans who are dependent upon
pensions, how do the old men and
women who are now in receipt of pen
sions for the loss of soldier sons who
were their support, like the prospect?
1t would be brave and economical
thing to rob the pensioners, wouldn't
it? Every man who votes for Bryan
will vote, willy, nily, for exactly that
robbery. Free silver in the concrete
is somewhat more unpleasant than free
silver in the abstract.-New York Sun.

The Silver Craze Not Growing,


Regarding the political situation in
Iowa, says the Boston Herald, Messrs
Stuart & Paddock, Ames Building,
have received the following communi-
cation from a prominent democrat of
conservative judgment:
Gentlemen:-It is, of course, impos-
sible to anticipate the result of the free
silver craze, except in general way.
Our county and town are an index of
many others. Crops, cattle, hogs and
farm products in general are low.
Many farmers are looking for the cure,
and the free silver idea is presented,
and unless vigorous educational meth
DDS are commenced, the craze will cap
ture some. The democratic party has
been taken into camp by The populists,
socialists and anarchists in many parts
of the country, but believe it will be
impossible for the better element of
the party to go with them. In our own
city (Burlington) l know of but one
business house that will support the
Chicago ticket. The silver craze is not
growing. Iowa will give plurality for
sound money of not less than so 900 to
$4,000. AS democrat of thirty years
standing, l with many of my friends,
will support Major Mckinley"

VIII Vote for Mckinley,

In an interview with Chronicle rep
resentative ex-Mayor Charles p Berry,
for the past eight years one Of the most
prominent democratic leaders, said :
You may publish the fact that am
going to vote for Mckinley, in Novem-
Der. AS a business man and large
employer of labor, l conceive it my
duty to do all that can to aid the
cause of sound money in the present
campaign. If we are to go upon ST.
yer basis it will be utterly Impossible
to run our business and the Portsmouth
Shoe Company must shut down Ell
tirely. Even now am at loss what
to do, and if believed Bryan's election
to be probable | should advise my col
leagues to close the mandatory"

turned to Bryan and said: "Now, my
friend from Nebraska in his brilliant
speech formulated the democratic plat.
form in such attractive colors that he
was loudly applauded upon the demo-
cratic side. What was that platform?
After all the force of his logic, after all
the spendor OF his rhetoric, after IL,
the driving in the direction of free
trade, the gentleman shirked the issue
when he got to the actual enunciation
of the results of his own logic. He an
nounced his ideal democratic platform
not platform you would have, but
platform you should have-a platform
you could have if man were sitting
quietly by his fire at night, with his
feet in his slippers, cigar in his mouth,
a hot toddy by his side, nothing to dis
turb him and ideal democratic dreams
In his head. Now, what is that plat
form? 1t is very pretty, it has all the
vague charms of the underlined, it has
all the boundess beauty of landscape
that has no limit. He says this phrase,
Tariff for protection, is the only thing
of which he complains. He Gays in eff
feet, l do not object to it if it does by
indirection what the other says it
should do directly; but 1 object to a
tax which says in plain words what it
is meant to do"
The republicans enjoyed the on
slaught heartily, but Mr.. Watson was
not yet done. He quoted several of
Bryan's eloquent sentences, and then
added: "That is beautiful. 1t is like
the old ish-trap, with one mouth down
the stream and the other up, and it
catches 'em a-coming and a-gwine."
Unless Mr.. Watson has undergone a
remarkable change of sentiment Bryan
might challenge him to that joint de-
bate which he desires 10 make feature
of the campaign.

w. j. Bryan as a Citizen.

In answer to the request of the New
York World for "a candid estimate OF
Mr. Bryan's ability, character and con-
victions on other political questions as
we'll as silver" his executive ability,
his quality as journalist, his rank and
experience as lawyer, his standing
locally as a citizen, Edward Rosewater,
editor of the Omaha Bee, says of Mr..
Bryan:
"Measured by the standard of men
truly great, William Jennings Bryan
will scarcely take rank with eminent
political leaders of the democratic
school such as were Stephen A. Doug
lass, John G. Breckenridge, Horatio
Seymour, Allen G.. Thurman, Thomas
A. Hendricks, Samuel j. Randall, to
say nothing of Samuel j. Tilden,
Thomas f. Bayard or David B. Hill
While gifted with oratorial powers of a
high order, Bryan lacks both depth and
breadth. He is popularizer of other
mems ideas rather than an original
thinker, and has catchy way of pre-
senting his subjects to an audience. He
is consummate actor, whose forte lies
in appeals to sentiment and emotion
rather than in arguments and sound
reasoning. He is a porn agitator who
never hesitates to employ the weapons
of the demagogue to make a point.
Bryan's most vulnerable part is his lack
of moral stamina and utter indifference
to the maintenance Of public integrity.
