The Washington Post, itself a gold
standard paper, says: The New York
Mail and E,zpress; the New York Eueuinq
Sun, and other newspapers in various
states, appear to find deal of satisfac-
ton in the fact that the twenty-five
Bryan states have larger average Cf i
literacy than the twenty three Mckinley
states.
We do not think it unfair to assume
that the newspapers which institute this
comparison know that the greater mass
of the illiterates in the Bryan states did
not vote for Bryan. The Euening San,
and the Mail and Express cannot be un-
aware of the fact that most of the litter
ates IN those states are Republicans. So
far as they voted at all they cast their
ballots for Mckinley and sound money.
1t Is not their fault that they cannot
read and write. They are the freed men
or the sons of freed men. In Maryland,
kentucky, and West Virginia the votes
OF the black illiterates assured those
states for Mckinley. In sta. es
further south the colored men cast the
bulk of the Republican vote. 1t seems
strange, IN view of these facts, that i'll
teiilgent newspapers will try to convince
the ill-informed and credulous that IL
Literary is characteristic of the BRYAN
vote. For our part, We are glad to re-
cord to the credit of both the colored H.
literates and the foreign element that
they voted against free coinage.

New York. November 80 In the
December number of the North An /
can Rerie,g'' William Bryan presents
an article in which he discusses the re-
sui. of the election as affecting the sat
us of the silv. question. The issue
which the election turns he desc. ibes a.
1.-The greatest issue ever submitted tt tn
American people In time of peace
The result Mr. Bryan declares to be tenn
porary defeat but permanent gain foi
the cause of bimetallism.
Mr. Bryan regards 1t as significant
fact that the silver sentiment was
strongest where the question had beer
longest considered; that is to say, in tie
west and south The gold sentiment
prevailed in the eastern states. but even
there, in Mr. Bryan's opinion, tht
cause of bimetallism made more rapid
| progress than anv cause ever made IL,
such short time. Mr. Bryan express
es his assurances that The election can be
| by no means regarded as a cOnc.uslv,

| Mr. Bryan counsels the Republican par

TO secure international bimetallism II
