Democratic party for the presidency.
must be disappointment even to hts
friends and supporters It Is a Very
weak dellverance,g made UP chiefly OF
iplatitudes such as 4 schoolboy might

Among these platitudes is one that may.
be quoted against Bryant ilimsclf to
prove that he Is no more Democratic
than the platform upon which he
stands. Mr.. Bryan says In his letter:
Democracy ignores differences in
wealth; neither riches nor poverty can:
be invoked in behalf OF or against any
citizen" siIs . IA - 5lsss7,.i,

We may accept Mr.. Bryan's definition
OF what Democracy stands for then

reminds us of a little story. A man
who once expected visitors whom he.
did not desire to- see, racked his brain

them. He was a good man, In fact,
