What has come over the spirit of the
daring young crusader in the intervene
ing weeks? Where in the prosaic figure
at the Madison Square Garden, LABOR
iously defending his candidacy, was the
valiant form that. in the Coliseum,
hurled defiance at the east? When be-
fore, in all the history of American poll
tics, was ever a campaign, begun so ag
gressively, conveyed so completely, in
one short month, into a campaign of re-
treat and defense? Truly, if revolutions
never go backward, then the pretentious
Nebraskan is not the leader of a revolu-
tion.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Undoubtedly it was largely free silver
audience which greeted Mr.. Bryan But,
new to the faith and in some degree emo
tional. they required to be- confirmed in
their devotion to the cause CT Bryan by
the magnetism and the convincing words
of the candidate himself. While his man
ner CT speech, falling so much below his
reputation, chilled and repealed them,
the speech itself, as a deliberate and for
NAL confession of Mr.. Bryan's political
belief, as forecast and promise of what
he will do if elected president, must in
evitably be fatal to his chances as can
didate.-NeW York Times.

Responsibility clearly has a SOLDERING
effect upon Mr.. Bryan
His Madison garden speech last might
was by no means the anticipated display
it was rather dull and commonplace.
Most Of it could have been uttered by
any politician of respectable a5liltles at
a county gathering without causing any
surprise or arousing any particular admi-
ration Only here and there were there
any glints of the picturesque exaggeTatlon
which made the fame OF the BOY Ora-
tor of the Platte. Boston journal
Mr.. BRYAN has delivered his first Off
cial utterance, and has made not sue
cess but a failure. His nomination at
Chicago was brought about by popular
uprising which overthrow ana set ASIDE
the plans of the political managers. The
speech in the convention, in which he
hurled defiance at those who represented
traditional and recognized methods or
political social and economic control,
made him for the time being the ideal
leader of those who in this, as in all
countries, are dissatisfied with existing
conditions and believe that radical changes
are necessary. This won LOT MN ms
nomination; but in his speech at Madison
Square Garden he abandoned the leader
ship that he had thus obtained.-Boston
Post.
The speech begins by reference to the
trusts and the income tax, which might
be important if the Democratic policy
offered any legitimate or dennlte meas
ures in connection with them. But as
Mr. Bryan himself says that the none
tary question is the paramount issue, the
justice of that issue must determine the
decision, and it is fair to judge II by the
accuracy of his arguments. On that sub
ject his speech contains a large amount
of imposing phrases. which do not fully
conceal what is either his Ialiure 10 uioer-
stand the facts or deliberate misrepre-
sentation of them.-Pittsburg Dispatch
Hon. William j. Bryan's speech in New
York last evening announcing his accept
ance of the nomination for the presidency
is a rather lengthy. but an able and in
genious statement of the theories and con-
victions embodied in the Chicago platform
The Democratic candidate defends the
present programme of his party with
lawyer-like skill. His speech, addressed
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-19

The political opponents of Mr.. Bryan
will find little in mis- speech to criticise.
1t is a fair and strong presentation of the
main points in the Democratic platform
and Mr.. Bryan can surely not be censured
for following the. lines which were laid
down by the convention which nominated
him. He had evidently prepared his ad-
dress with great care and it is decidedly
creditable to him.-AtIanta journal.

in securing that end.

ABOUT the silliest story started late
ly by the daily press correspondents
is that President Cleveland will be
come q Republican if the st. Louis
convention adopts gold platform
and the Chicago convention stands
by silver. President Cleveland is a
Democrat, and he will remain Dem
ocrat, no matter what may be the
platform adopted at Chicago, if adop-
ted by q majority of the representa-
,tives of the party. Grover Cleveland
has no more idea of voting for Nc
Kinley than he has of going out and
butting his head against stone
wall. By reporting such nonsense is
it any wonder that the general read
ing public is losing confidence in the
reliability of the daily press and it's
news?

THE quietness OF water in a storage
reservoir is far more destructive to
bacteria than the most violent agita-
tion, according TO a Royal Institution
lecture by Prof. E. Frankland. The
microbes sent into the Niagra at Buff
falo suffer little from the turbulent
passage over the cataract, but soon
almost disappear in Lake Ontario.
The storage of water OF the Thames
and Lea by London water companies
for thirteen to fifteen days reduces
the number of microbes to one-fifth of
the original amount.

THE Republican New York Journd
insinuatingly asks American working
men this question: Assuming that
Mckinley favors silver, would you
vote for. him?" Well hardly. Why
should any American workingman
vote for Mckinley? 1t was his sys-
TEN of high tariff and the single gold
standard that have caused more mis-
cry in this country than all other evils
combined. Then Mckinley is the tail
of the combine against organized la
Dor, of which Mark Hanna, the no
torious foe of non-unionism, is the
leader. There is no excuse for any
workingman to vote for Mckinley.

Do you ask why the farmers are
for silver? They know that wheat
and silver keep company, and that
when silver was depressed by the
sneak thief Sherman act of 1873
wheat followed it down the scale, un-
til it takes two bushels of wheat to
pay 81 of taxes. They know that
the restoration of silver to it's former
position will send the ounce of silver
up to the dollar mark or above, and
that wheat will keep it company, so
that the farmer who has to pay 800
in taxes has to raise, 200 bushels of
wheat to pay it, will pay it with 100
bushels and have the other 100 to
purchase comforts for himself and
family and help to pay off his mort
cages. Is it to be wondered at that
the farmer takes sensible view of
it and is going to vote for his own in
terests?-Columbus Call.
