Mr.. Irish calls the conservative Democ-
rscy which is not ready to follow the lead
of Bryan on the high road to PopuIism
the Honor Bright Democracy"
As the telegraphic columns Of the daily
papers cave informed the public, the
sound-money Democracy OF the East. led

with Mr. Bryan, but he did say Yesterday
7 1t Is my intention 10 challenge Mr..
i Bryan TO q continuation OF that discussion
I during this campaign IN Nebra$k2, low.
and Illinois"
Thus another interesting feature of this
interesting campaign comes into view.
Rezarding the political future Mr.. Irish
talked yesterday as follows:
The Honor Bright Democracy, it'll
out any concert of action, is organizing
in this State many clubs 10 advocate the
principles Of Jefferson and 20 defend the
National honor and public credit
These clubs viii soon be IN contact and
in communication with each other and
ready 70 cooperate in supporting the
sourd-money candidate of the old De-
mocracy who viii De put IN the field on =
Democratic platform early in Septem mber
Several OF these clubs have already com
municzted with me and 1 viii be glad Il
ali will do so.
This movement is coming from the
people IN the Southern States, especially
They are very eager and earnest in it
The industrial South cannot survive ths
destruction Of its credit
"The Democratic vote Of California il
1894 was about $4,000. From present indi
cations half of this vote will be cast fol
the sound money candidate. This involve.
q complete National organization and com.
plete organizations in every State in thI
Union
"The call for the National convention
will be based on the Cleveland vote o
1892, and every State in the Union vii
have delegates az that convention IL
every State IN the Union State and ioca
tickets loyal to this organization Of Homo
Bright Democracy will De run.
sit Is the determination Of the men whC
are IN this movement that Jeffersoniar
principles shall not perish from the facs
of the earth lest free government perish
with them"
1t wall probably be some little time be
fore the Honor Bright" Cleveland Demo
crscy Of Californis comes forth paEoplieC
for the campaign, but the ear on th'
ground may detect its coming and thereby
may be prcphesied its mixture with tn
music and the thunder of the Cslifornii
conflict
