Mr. John Temple Graves newspaper

had been delivered. with the conviction that
there are dozen as great orators Ia Goor-

nouneed the masterpiece Of oratory on tina,

cause in calm public lecture he failed 10
exert himself TO the point Of displaying In
their fiery actiob the powers he had ex-

There was no demand for imprisoned ora

tmpulsiyensss. no occasion for a vocal and
physical display OF power such a. an ex-
citing debate or greater situation would
have called forth. The calm. dlgnifled Ut

and because Mr. Bryan at Atlanta was not

ciude that Mr.. Bryan Is not the orator

ton asks several
pertinent questions which those hysterioal

meli in this country on the Cuban ques-
l.on would mean war with Spain. and that
war with Spain would mean irretrieyable
loss 20 this country, will fnd DIM ,ul,y in
answering. Says the Constitution:
1t has come to pass ,ha, an American
newspaper can not utter American snnI.
mcnis or sympathize with those who are
ngntng for their independence siinout in
wiling the criticism o. certain sensitive
people who pretend to be OF really are
afraid OF war-airsid Of war with Spain.
But who wants war with Spain? Nobody

those who sympathize with Cuba. on the
contrary, everybody wants peace. That is
the dehnie policy OF The United States.
poacr with all the world II would be

as 1t would be for a foot giant to strike
