BRYAN.
WetZel Democrat

Wetzel Democrat.
William j. Bryan having resigned his
position in the army. the dogs of the Re
publican press are after him. Bull, Ring
and Bobtail are bowling with all their
might. No matter what Mr., Bryan does,
no matter what he says the tails of these
dogs are carried always curled into knot
of objection.
Being trained for civil and not for mill
tary life, and the war being ended, he re-
signed his colonelcy, receiving, however,
the highest praise for his efficiency by his
immediate commander, trained military
general.
Mr.. Bryan is yet the most popular Dem
ocrat in the party He received in 1895 the
highest popular vote ever received by
any presidential candidate before that
time, and only exceeded by that of Nc
Kinley. Had there been a full turnout in
the southern States in 1886, MIR. organs
popular vote might have even exceeded
that of Mckinley
Mr.. Bryan's popularity, like that of Nc
Kinleys, is personal. There are plenty of
Democrats who voted for MIR. Bryan in
1896 who do not believe that bimetallism
would be a remedy for the evils threaten
ed by Imperialism Upon this latter ques-
ton Mr.. Bryan is in accord with the 10y
al conservative element of the Democratic
party Even some men who do not be-
lieve in his silver creed have great admit
ration for the pure minded young Ameri-
can who is to-day the foremost Democrat
of the age. The question before US is,
shall we suffer ourselves to be European
lied by schemes of conquest and territor-
ial expansion? If we do, we may as well
write ourselves down as another object
in history to point the moral of all human
tales: as another miserable rehearsal of
the past. The establishment of the gold
standard was as we believe, a step in
that direction; the last may be imperial

Now, no one, so far as the Register

such thing. 1t has been stated that
ince the organ delights to refer to

hold precisely the same views on this
