Ex-Mayor Hugh j. Grant Sharply Criticlses
w. j. Bryan.
NEW YORK, Nov. a.-The Journal
prints the following letter from ex-
Mayor Hugh J. Grant concerning w.
J. Bryan and the recent election:
The conclusion Of Mr.. Bryan that the results
of the recent election indicate popular dissat-
isfaction with the policy OF the republican
party is undoubtedly correct, His declaration
that they ''presage the overthrow of the re-
publican party is not entitled to the same Gre
dence as his conclusion. l heartily hope that
the republican party will be overthrown in
1900, but IT is early for anyone but an enthusi-
asst like Mr.. Bryan to make up his mind what
will happen three years hence.
Mr.. Bryan did nothing for the local democracy
this year. Every suggestion Of his words or
acts was TO our disadvantage. The secretary
of the democratic national committee, Mr..
Walsh. who Is presumably very close TO him In
sympathy repudiated the candidacy Of Van
Wyck on the ground that Van wyck did not
stand upon the silver plank OF the Chicago
platform md gave to George whatever support
he had to give. The trouble with Bryan and
the secretary of the national committee Is that
they cannot adapt themselves 70 changing con-
ditions Many things are likely to happen be-
tween now md 1900. II they happen IS MI. Bryan
thinks they will happen, they yin Justify his
assumption Of the roll OF prophet II they do
not Mr. Bryan Will be grieved In any event
the democratic party will remain.
