1t Is stated on the best popocratic au
thority that the managers of the Bryan
campaign have become tired of Senator
Hills attitude, and that if the senator
wants anything of them he will now
have to come to them to get it. They
have, we are told, reached the point
where they no longer care whom the
New York senator supports or what he
does. The authority is the st. Louis Re
public. which is IL rampant Bryan or
gan. Wonder what Bryan went out OF
his way for when he sought and Sc
cured an invitation to dine with Senator
Hill

The heads of great corporations are under
taking to compel their employees to support
the gold standard.-Bryan.
Every employe of every great corporation
and every small corporation, knows that that
is both false and absurd. How can cor
poration control the secret ballot of its en-
ployes, or any of them? Every citizen knows
that ne is free to vote as he chooses, and
that nobody can interfere with his exercise
of the franchise. An employer who tells
his men of the danger of the Bryan cheap
money humbug warns them for their good
but they can take OF reject this advice as
they think best when they put their votes
in the ballot box. Bryans real fear Is not
of the corporations, but of the common sense
of their employees.

Mr. Bryan's personal organ prints a
picture of Governor Stone of Missouri
with the countenance OF an Italian ban

cowpuncher Governor Stone has been
flirting with silver wi h n smoo II shaven

deserves better than this in the house
of his supposed friends.

The business men of Omaha have
seldom failed to accomplish anything
that they have gone at with practical
unanimity and determination. They can
raise the standard of our legislative
delegations if they really want to do so.
Omaha daily bee., 1896-09-14

The Bryan press is Eow printing af-
fidavits to prove that Bryan never said
he was not democrat But, as we have
said before, it does not matter so much
what Bryan calls himself as what others
competent to Judge call him. Tom Wat
son might, for example, deny that he is
populist, but that would hardly be con-
elusive authority on the subject.

platform He was silver man, however;
a bimetallist who believed in the negotia-

tanning the ratio between the two metals.
His best speeches on this subject were de-
livered in December, 1867, in February, 1876,
and on the Bland bill in 1889, and can be
