WHAT DOES HE nEAN.

In one Of his speeches in Nebraska,
Mr., Bryan recently said.
"If I had been elected in 1896 and had
proceeded to trample on the Declaration
Of independence and carry on war of
conquest for the greed Of gain, there is
not a Republican in Nebraska who would
have refrained from crying out and de-
nouncing me as traitor to my country.
To what war does Mr.. Bryan refer
1t cannot be the war of 1898 to which he
refers, for, as the Washington Post truth
fully says:
"His party proudly claims to have
forced that war on the Republican party,
and Mr.. Bryan rendered his services,
which were accepted, L MIR. Bryan
means the trouble now pending in the
Philippines, need he be reminded that it
grew directly out of the treaty Of peace,
the ratification of which he advocated
The conquest Of the Philippines, Of Porte
Rico, and Of. Guam was confirmed in thai
treaty. The sovereignty of those islands
with all"the responsibilities, came to thi:
republic through that treaty"
What.can he mean by such queer talk
The American people can be trusted al
all times to do the right, and it is simply
platitudinous vaporing to talk about
trampling on the Declaration Of Indepen-

Mckinley does his work right up to the
handle, and no man could done it bet
ter, though didn't have no part in put
ting him there. So what's the sense in
turning him out and putting new man
in his place.
"He made lot of promises about
good times, and can't see as he over
stated the facts either, for certainly the
times have been laundering good, there is
no denying that.
Now, Bill Bryan comes around here
telling the boys if they didn't elect him
the country would go hell; and be quick
about it. Pears like Bill didn't know
what he was talking about, or was lying,
likely the latter. Guess we can spare
Bill spell yet, SO he can get his picture
took. Maybe he'll learn something if he
hangs around the house and keeps his
head cool out there in Nebraska. If he
runs agin you can easy git the fool census
by counting his vote. He reminds me of

used his head was at dinner time-rest of

something to kick at Mckinley will go

what the neighbors say, and I'm like

One thing which is proving discourage
ing to Willie Bryan, now campaigning IN
his own state, Nebraska, is, that all Of his
old followers are looking prosperous, JIM
gle money in their pockets, and don't
care a bawbee about free silver. He has
never before had to campaign under such
distressing circumstances, and he feels
very bad indeed. Wait until the votes
are counted. He may then move out of
the state.
