CAMPAIGN COMMEyT.

MT. Bryan lacks only the opoort,tnity
ana the ability TO be a tyrant OF the
hrst order. 1t Is safe 10 assert thar no
olher candidate for the presidency of
the United States ever went about the
country saying that Democrats who voted
against him and his Popuustio princi-
pies should never join the Democratic
party again, and that if elected he would
enforce the principles Of his platform co
vigorously that free-born American citi-
zens who opposed him should 20 down
on their knees to him Is a man fit 20 be
President who talks such rot as this?-

Postmastr-General Wilson was I'm Fu-
rope when the Indianapolis Conventoin
was In session, but he has lost no oppor-
tunlty TO align himself with the other
members OF the Cabinet in support OF
Generals Palmer and Buckner. Mr.. Will
son believes that Candidate Bryan has
already been beaten; but, as he saws:
IL VIII never do to permit the election
TO go by default through overconfdence
IL seems to me that work for the sound
money cause should be kept up with I'M
RENTED vigor. so that the victory may
be both practical and lasting" The prac-
teal victory is already fairly well as
sured. The lasting victory will come
when the Democracy shall have been re-
established as the sound tariff as well
as the sound-money Philadelphia
Record.

or the address of the sound-money
Democracy Of the State Of Louisiana the
New Orleans Picayune says: ",rhese are
brave and eloquent words, setting forth
the grand and immortal principles OF
constitutional liberty and IL Is better
to march to defeat unfolding them than
to conquer the world with false doc
trines that tend to the lowering OF the
standard OF honor, the degradation OF
manhood, the smotherng OF all genius,
enterprise. and special talents I'm the
Dead Sea OF socialism and the destruc-
ton OF the very springs and aspirations
of all human liberty"
The Louisville Times thinks that "ono
can easily credit the statement that Cam
didate Bryan Is convinced that many OF
the leaders who are pretending 10 be IN
the harness for him are less than half
hearted in his interest. II they are not
covertly plotting for his downfall. Men
like German, Hill. TEACHER. Smith Of
Georgia, and Smith OF New jersey, cam
not lay aside the convictions OF ife-
time as they would don cloak. and give
earnest, honest support to men and mea-
sures running counter to the whole course
Of their lives"
Says the Baltimore Sun: 'Picht here
Is the kernel OF the free-silver nut. the
central deception OF the whole humbug-
the confounding of prize with value md
attempting to cheat thu farmer and the

things to sell. INTO The belief that by a
change in prices. by merely making half
as many cents worth Of metal the stand

that purpose the real values OF things
will be doubled and they will all be so
much better OF. AS II collecting two dol
lars. each worth fifty cents, from pur-
chaser of goods would be more profitable
than collecting one dollar worth one hum
dred cents"
OF Bryan's statement that "those who
apply the name Anarchist to tho bone
and muscle Of this country are doing
more to overthrow the Government thar
any Anarchist who ever carried a red
nag" the Montgomery Advertiser Says:
'But they are not applying 1t to the bons
