HE PREFERS THE CANTON DOCTOR.
A FELLOw-cITI OF BRYAN WHO DOES NOT
LIKE THE MEDICINE OFFERED BY


THE POPOCRAT
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Bryan in his Hornersville speech ducked the
tariff by asking this silly question: What is the
use Of discussing the tariff question until we settle
the great paramount issue? The tariff question: as
remember. is the great question that dis
cussed four years ago by his gentleman and many
others 1t was then stated with absolute certainty,
that this remedy. If taken In light doses, would
cure all the ills of life The only precaution given
to be very careful and not take too much;
and the doctor says: II have another remedy
which may be taken in unlimited quantities. and
which will guarantee TO cure. providing you will
let me administer the medicine at the usual salary
of 10000 per year" At this point the climax Of the
demagOgue reached. when he said: IF the
syndicates can leave the Democratic party in order
TO prevent free silver want 10 know why laboring
men and the farmers can't leave the Republican
party in order to destroy the gold Standard"
To my certain knowledge Mr. Bryan has always
been preaching to the people in this country that
syndicates corporat tons and trusts were the crea-
lures Of corrupt Republican legislation and that
II this that making the rich richer, and
the poor poorer. This was his "crown of thorns'
and "cross of gold" and this TO be cured by
the election Of Grover Cleveland and n Democratic
Congress. We got the remedy but we still have
the disease In a more malignant form There nre
two physicians that desire TO treat US now one
lives in Canton. Ohio. and the other lives in Lin
coin. Neb We have taken the medicine OF the lat
ter according prescription. and found the doctor
be a Guack, and now we intend to change doc
tors instead of remedies as prescribed by DIT
Bryan. We Will try the great physician once more
and let some professor treat the free-silver fad
with electrical currents and other hypnotic tnfiu-
ences. We have tried the handkerchief remedy TO
our satisfaction. The Democratic syndicates are
something that the doctor has sprung upon
us. and will demand an explanation when ne
returns. This Is but the demagogue seeking 10
reap where no has not sown II come not to peg
struct you" He simply desires the people to walk
in the light he is In the light so that they may
all have fellowship one with another. and the si-
Of the world shall cleanse them from all their
sins .
We, IN Nebraska. do not like the Doctors med-
cine and we will not take 1t this year We
going try the great physician that lives in Can
ton Ohio and Will give him this state by
and have lelrned that the suggard Is wiser in his
own conceit than men that can render a
reason This declaration of the wise man We sub
init to the careful perusal OF Mr.. Bryan and all his
ham Lincoln. and an advocate OF tho principles OF
the great martyr. while W. J. Bryan is a student
and likewise follower of Richard p. Bland and
many other irresponsible Democrats. and we think
whom they will follow. Tell your people TO reread
Lincoln's Cooper institute 81 eeCh and see whether
they cannot find more light and comfort than In
irving TO follow the yagaries OF the erring evan
eelist Of the Platte Count Nebraska for William
Mckinley and give us a favorable report from
New York November g. 1896
We look and behold the flagship is coming.
The pilot is Bill without the OBryan
MCKINLEY has hold Of the Star-Spangled Banner
And not the red nag Of treason and crime.
Wen ali get on board OF the gallant old vessel
That will wait all safe through the ocean of time;
we will pick UP wreck of the freesilver standard.
nd bury what's left OF W J. Bryan
