LATELY several Kentucky exchanges
have stated in positive terms that IL the
gold Democrats fused with the Repupii-
cans that they could never, by any
stretch of imagination, be considered
Democrats. Lets see, didn't every Bry-
AN man in Kentucky last year fuse with
the Populists when he voted for two
Pooulist electors which the Kentucky
State Democratic Committee placed on
the Bryan ticket? Didn't the silver
Democrats fuse when they voted for the
Populist candidate for President? And
have the silver Democrats heard that
Mr. Bryan has just effected fusion In
Nebraska between silver Democrats,
Populists and free silver Republicans
the overtu1es being made by the Bryan
men? Sounds like the pot calling the
kettle black.
