A Candidates Short Memory.

From time to time Mr.. BRYAN speaks
with undsguised bitterness of the Demo
Gratis who refuse to accompany him on his
excursion into Populism. At first he seemed
to admit their right to 20 where they chose.
but as the extent of the Democratic opposi-
tion to him becomes clear in some sort.
even to n temperament rs singularly gifted
rs his is with the power of self-nattery and
self-delusion, he seems unable to restrain
his disappointment and anger. He believes
in himself rs n man Of destiny, and how
reprehensible must appear to him the con-
duct of those Democrats who are trying to
thwart destiny as it is represented III his
melodramatic self!
Yet Mr.. BRYAN ought to be the last man
to rail against the gold STANDARD Democrats
for refusing to support him and the Chicago
platform. They are only doing what he
would have done il Senator PALMER or
Gen. BUCKNER or Mr.. FLOWER or any other
gold standard Democrat had been nomi-
mated at Chicago. Passing by the numer-
Gus occasions before Mr.. BRYAN was
nominated when he declared emphat-
ically his resolution not to vote for a
gold standard candidate on a gold stand
him once more Of what he said in his speech
to the notification committee of the So
called Silver party. He accepted the Silver
nomination Sept 8. He was no longer an
adventurer straying between Democracy and
Populism. He was clothed with such dig
nifty rs can come from being nominated for
President by three distinct sets OF cranks.
He had had plenty of time for delberation,
provided he ever deliberates He was under
no necessity of reterating his earlier ex-
pressions. But the so-called Silver party
was principally made up of Republican
estrays. and he could not resist the oppor-
tunity of proclaiminS once more that for
some time he had preferred bad money to
good Democracy. more than u year ago."
he said, when we were engaged in a strug-
gle to bring the Democratic party to an
endorsement of free coinage, the question
was put to me whether, in case of failure, l
would support the Democratic nominee, ifhe
were gold standard advocate. running upon
n gold standard platform. l never believed
that such action was probable then, but
when those who questioned me were not
content with probabilities, and asked again
whether, in that event, would support the
nominee, l said, as you will remember, that
under no circumstances would my vote be
given to Il man who would in the Executive
office use his influence to fasten the gold
standard upon the American people"
Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander
Mr. BRYAN cannot expect more than he was
willing to give, and he has no reason to feel
resentful because Democrats will, under the
the circumstances, refuse to give their votes
to man who wants to fastcn the silver
standard upon the American people.
