Col. Bryan as a veritable demagogue,
not appealing to the reason OF men, but
insulting their intelligence. Where is
the observation-disclosures, the statesman
ship In these expressions from a leader
OF party whose admirers call a Sec
ond Lincoln?"
Col. Bryan's trip to the east has per-
haps convinced him that the one sole
Issue on which he arose to prominence
by appealing to the prejudlces OF men,
has no longer any hope OF success. He
has taken UP one OF his new issues and
Is pursuing the same course OF arousing
sentiment in this country against the
integrity of its institutions, innamlng
the minds Of the people against the man
In the white house, respected and es-
iteemeG by the nation. and who has,
during the past year, borne courageous
~, conscientlously and periodically n
mighty personal responsibility in an
emergency such as this country never
experienced before. The effort will fall
as completely as the other did.
The very tone Of Bryan's utterances
indicates his intent, not to discuss the
question OF the policy of the country
toward the Philippines, which is to be
settled by Congress, from the stand
point and with the dignity of one who
aspires to the Presidency of this repub-
