First Save My Friend.

We want something like that spirit

Before you begin to show yourself
friendly you must be friendly. Get your
heart right with God and man, and this
grace will become easy. You may by
your own resolution get your nature
into a semblance of this virtue, but the
grace of God can sublimely lift you in
to it. Sailing on the river Thames two
vessels ran aground. The owners of one

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,
Of Nebraska.
THE PLEDGE OF NEWlkNDS
TO THE SILVER CONVEN-
TON.

Nc argument IS necessary TO show
that New1ands acted iii had faith
from he beginning. 1t was bad faith
to accept the Democratic nomination
on a platform denouncing the Silver
party after his pledges and after he
had been three times elected TO Goa
gress by the Silver party. 1t was
bad faith TO induce the Republican
party to pass the nomination for Con-
gress and assist that party to defeat
the Silver party. It vas worse than
bad faith to allow the persons who
now represent him and who have re
presented HIM for the last two years
TO oppose the Silver party and partlc-
ularly the reelection Of Senator Stew
art. Can il be denied that Alfred
Chartz has been an active and bitter
enemy of Senator Stewart for the last
two years and is now and was during
the campaign a jealous friend Of
Francis 6. Newlands? Can it be de
MED that James Dennis has been
working fox Newlands against Stew
art.
For what purpose did Mr., Newlands
friend TrenInor Coffin, insist upor
pledging the Legislative candidates Of
Ormsby county against Stewart and
make them declare hat he was not q
resident. has never done anything fol
the State and was unfit to represent
the State and that they would no
support him under any circumstances
Was Mr.. NewlandS friend, Mr.. Coffin
acting for Newlands or for Stewart:
How did it happen that Mr.. Cleve
land co-operated with these cnemie:
Of Stewart and frien0s Of NeWland.
during the campaign? Why did h,
taKe up the cry ''anythlng TO bea
Stewart" If he was a boni-hde Caudi
date HIMSELF Does anybody suppost
that Nfr. Cleveland regarded himsel
as the 'anything? Does anybot,
doubt that Cleveland, Chartz, DENIM.
and Coffin were working for New
lands when they were making DIES
perate efforts to defeat Stewart?
they do, is not the fact that Nj. New
lands turns out t. be the "anything
to beat Stewart and that the mask j
now thrown off, prove what has bee
going on during the entire campaign
There is no use in discussing it. Al
the people of the State know that tn
friends of Newlands were hghtin
Stewart, Sadler and the Silver part,
during the entire campaign, Thi
wasnot done in the interests of tn
Republican party because Newland
IS not a Republican. 1t vas not dor
in the interests of the DemCo'2t
party because Newlands is not
Democrat, unless a man al be
Democrat, a Republican and a SilV'
man at the same time and in II
