Content has every confidence in,
and is perfectly willing to leave It with
the honorable "sons of toil'' to decide
which is ahead in this word tilt, as
we'll Us who writes most interestingly.
TO say the least, her ideas are original,
and not copied.
Yesterday Content received copy
of Brann's Ieonoclast paper published
i'll Waco, Texas, on the lst OF May.
1t contained the following: The
Cleveland-McKinley organs continue
to sling their unclean slime at w. J.
Bryan and to denounee those who
voted for him as anarchists" There
is an old saying to the effect that one
might as well have the game as the
name. II we be indeed anarchists, it
were we'll for those who continue to
insult US to remember that we number
some six millions are mostly native
born Americans. and all white men.
Now, if we he on anarchy bent, why
should we hesitate to raise the red
rag? In four and twenty hours we
could decorate the telegraph poles
with the carcass of every iInpudent
editor and erapulent " indjammer who
has presumed to thus insult us These
who accuse us of being red-iaggers
are fully eognizant that they are ut
tering a malicious faiseho0d. They
do it, not for political effect, for the
campaign is over, but simply because
they are so constituted that they
would rather drink than eat, rather
steal than drink, and rather lie than
steal.
When the campaign closed did not
expect Mr. Bryan would be reaomi-
mated, but it begins to look now as
though he would Ice Heated into the
presidency four years hence on the
fetid breath of his eountry's foes.
