last national campaign. Hon. William
]. Bryan. After alluding to some per-
sonal matters, Mr.. Bryan says:
MR.. BRYAN's VIEWS.
The triumph of bimetaIlism through
independent action is so necessary to
the welfare of the nation that it would
be criminal folly to endanger our cause
BY U1SSenSiOnS among those who,
though working in different Organiza-
tons, are actuated by a common pur-
pose Just at this time Democrats, Re-
publicanS, POpuliSts and silver Repub-
hcanS are united in one army to de-
fend the flag, not because they agree
upon all domestic questions, but be-
cause the liberation of Cuba from
Spanish rule is, for the time being, the
paramount issue. SO Democrats, Popu-
lists and silver Republicans can join
together to rescue the United States
from foreign domination in our finan-
cial affairs, and they can do so with
out Surrendering allegiance to their
respective party organizations. The
president does not require soldiers to
become Republicans in order to enlist,
neither should we require all voters to
become Democrats in order to help us
restore the money of the constitution.
A clear conception of the magnitude Of
our fight will, think, harmonic con-
to present a united front against the
enemy"
SENATOR JONES' IDEAS.
The other letter is from Senator
Jones. the leader of the Silver Repub-
licans- The portion referring to fusion
is as follows:
IF our people make a fair, sensible
and reasonable offer to the other peo-
pie, and they decline it, then the fault
is with them; but if they propose to
do what is reasonable and just, we put
ourselves in a false position when we
decline TO treat favOrably. We cannot
attempt before hand to be unfair, it
will be time enough to do so after they
have shown an unfair disposition I
sincerely hope that as the PopuliStS
and silver Republicans have, as 1 I'M
derstand. determined to meet at the
same time and place, and to make a
definite offer to the Democrats, that
the Democrats may take such steps to
consider reasonable terms as will be
fair and Just.
THE congressional committee is or
ganized under Senator White, and will
have active charge of the campaign as
soon as it gets fairly to work. They
are getting things fairly well straight
