Growing reminiscent the
displeased Republican said:

self quoted as having assert
cd in q recent issue that "It
is the almost universal be-
lief of the men who support
ed Bryan two years ago that
the same iss le on which that
memorable campaign WI s
waged will be retired two
years hence" The Post re-
grets being thus quoted for
two reasons. The first is that
the statement is not true,
and the second is that it's
publication calls for an eX-
PLANTATION. THAT The Post
intended to say was that the
men who supported Bryan
two years ago believe "that
the same issue on which that
memorable campaign " a s
waged will be retired two
years hence. " The transposi.
tiOn OF two letters changed
"retried" to "retired," com
pletely reversing the meaning
OF the writer and doing vio-
lence to truth.
So far as we are advised,
all the leaders of the great
Bryan cOmbinatiOn-DemO
Gratis, Populists and silver
Republicans-hope to make
the campaign Of 1900 on the
issue OF '96. They have firm
faith in the vitality OF that
issue, and appear to believe
that it is destined to achieve
a victory. The splendid con-
dition of our national financ-
es has not shaken their conf
dence in 16 TO /. They point
to the depression of the cot
ton manufacturing Industry
in Massachusetts and the low
price of raw cotton as con-
.firmation strong as proof
from holy writ of their theory
on the coinage question. Sen
ator Jones, Of Arkansas,
Chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, asserts
that eve shall not haye any
new party issues in this coun
Try until the old ones are set
tied. Silver will be the issue
in 1900" The other leaders
agree with Chairman Jones.
Meanwhile the Democratic
conventions one after anOth-
er, from Maine to Texas, and
from Florida to Washington,
reafirm their faith in the
Chicago platform.

contemporary. "Did you ev

the cold hand of poverty
pressing upon him, let him

"Broncho Bill" IS in IA bad way
physically. Last week the doctors at
Santa lie operated 90 his wounded
shoulder. They found that the bones
in the upper arm aud shoulder were
all smashed, and they removed all the
broken bones. There are no homes
left between the elbow and the shout
der blade. After this operation was
completed Broncho was too weak to
stand a further operation. IL he gets
stronger the doctors will amputate
the arm near the elbow. The arteries
are intact and the arm IS wei
nourished, SO 1t is advisable 10 let the
arm remain in its present condition
for a time, as the free circulation Of
the blood will greatly assist in the
healing of the wounds in the shoulder.
The doctors think there is very little
