The following Is from the local Bryan
organs report of the convention:


BY those who admire the sight of hall
full of round stomachs, fine clothes, silk
hats and patent leather shoes-all repre-
senting wealth and luXury-the convention
might have been called the finest that has
ever met in the country There were men
wealth of each person present could safely
be put at $50, 0V0 Many of the delegates
rode to the hall in carriages. All were
stopping at the best hotels in the city and
rooms with bathrooms attached; nearly all
came in on private coaches, special trains
and with all the luxuries that wealth can
command. Some of the delegates brought
with them their private secretaries and
their valets the porters of the hotels grew
for little attentions. The cigar stands sold
nothing but 25-cent goods. Carriages stood
on the outside of the hall all day waiting
for the representatives of wealth who were
inside denouncing Mr.. Bryan. class dfstinc-
ton and the Chicago platform.
1t Is hard to understand what a paper
expects to accomplish by that sort of mis-
representation. It dsgusts all who are
cognizant of the facts, and is not likely to
have any effect outside The truth is the
convention was not only an exceptionally
orderly and representative one, but it was
conspicuously free from the characteristics
above described. 1t was distinctly popular
delegate convention. The attempt to break
its force by describing it as convention
of plutocrats and nabobs is par with
Mr. Bryans constant efforts to array the
poor against the rich. 1t is a very vicious
kind of demagogisn.

Whatever else is Objectionable about this

Cleveland Is praseWorthy and much to be
admired. The Sentinel fully fndorses the
convention in this respect.
Perhaps it is wrong to say the paragraph
appeared. 1t occupied remote place on
the editorial page as If feeling its way or
apologizing for it's existence. AS an effort
by a so-caled Democratic paper to placate
favor with a Democratic President and to
deprecate the wrath to come, it is anus
ing. 1t is pretty late in the day for the
free-silver organ to be trying to curry
favor with Mr.. Cleveland. For many weeks
past it has been applauding the action of
a convention which heaped reiterated in
suits upon him and has been supporting
candidate who represents everything he abb
hors With this record its sneaking APP
prevail of loyalty to President Cleveland
savors too strongly of political hypocrisy.
1t will not fool the man at Buzzards Bay.
