AS showing the force of Bryan's
strength in the Populist convention at
St. Louis. the remarks OF Cyclone"
Davis, of Texas, are worthy of quotation.
He said: "There were a thousand men
in that convention who differed with me
and there could have been but one re-
subtitle selection of Bryan. 1t was
case of either making them believe they
were wrong and myself and my little
band of $50 were right, or give up. We
had to give up, of course. We were not
all statesmen, and the thousands on the
other side were neither fools nor traitors
We concluded they were right. .

Senator PETER says: "The mass of the

sas by $4,000 majority" Goldites papers
will please copy. Of course they will say
that PETER is only man with whiskers,
but nevertheless it would seem that
bleeding Kansas is all right

The Minneapolis Tribune says "it is
the idle and unemployed who are yelling
for Bryan Precisely. If the gold stand
ard system under which we are now liv-

be no unemployed and consequently no
need of yelling for change. 1t Is rar-
ity to find a money lender yelling FOR
Bryan. He thrives upon the needs OF the
man who tolls, the man who is forced
into debt. The unemployed will continue
to yell for Bryan until next November,
when some other people can do the yell
ing if they so feel like it.
