Mr.. BRYAN EXPLAINS
HOW DEMOCRATS FEEL ABOUT
THE NATTER.
THE DOORS OF THE PARTYA WAYS OPEN
Only Those UnweIcome Who Deserted in 1896
and Yet Claim 10 be Better Democrats
Than They Who Remained
in The Party.

Milwaukee, Wis, April 12.-The
Journal prints the following:
To Editor Milwaukee Journal:
Dear Sir: | am just in receipt of
your favor of March 22nd, in which
you say:
1T is asserted here that many Demo
Gratis who voted for Mckinley in 1896
feel that they have been trifled with
by the Republicans, and are likely to
vote the Democratic ticket again at
the next Presidential campaign, though
they may not be in fun accord with
the platform"
And ask:
What in your opinion. would be the
wise course to pursue toward these
people? In what way may their re-
affiliation with the party be best facili-
tatedT
In reply, would say that have no
authority to speak for the Democratic
party. and, in what | say, express only
my own opinion. / am satisfied that you
are correct in saying that many of the
Democrats who voted for Mckinley are
disappointed with the Republican adj
mnistration and will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket in the future. | think that
the same statement could be made III
regard to. those who voted the Palmer
and Buckner ticket. The doors of the
party are always open to receive new
additions whether they be new con-
yerts or former members of the party.
To err is human. and those who erred III
90 have only to admit it and subscribe
to the party creed in order to be taken
back into the party. They may dissent
from some portions of the platform, as
some did in go and yet subscribe to the
platform as Il whole.
have found among the Democrats
no hostility toward those who wish
to return. PROVIDED THEY RECOG-
NIZE THAT THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY NOW HAS A PLATFORM
THAT Is SATISFACTORY TO THE
DEMOCRATS. A Democrat who comes
back for the purpose of fighting against
the re-affirmation Of Chicago platform.
will not find the party congeniak Those
who recognized that they erred III '96
are not likely to insist upon prominence
in the party management until they
have time TO bring forth works meet for
repentance. If they do aspire to promi-
nence, they will have to convince their
associates of the sincerity of their, pur-
pose to aid the party in its fight against
plutocracy
The only unwelcome guests are those
who deserted in '96 and still claim to be
better Democrats than those who re-
manned with the party, and who demand
the surrender of the Chicago platform
as the price of their return. Only those
who are willing to stand upon the last
platform ought to have part in the
writing of the next platform.
Yours truly,
W. J. BRYAN.

ANOTHER SMALL PON CASE.
\ Negro Man Who Lived Near the
Old Rock Church.

Old Rock Church.
Another well-defned case of smallpox
was discovered here yesterday The
patient is Charles Herndon, a negro
man living on East Cabarrus street.
near the Rock church.
Tuesday evening DIR. Lightner (col),
WAS called in TO see Herndon. He
found him broke out and at once reports d
the case to the Health department.
early yesterday morning DR.. Mckee,
the City Superintendent Of Health, made
a diagnosis of the case, pronounced il
small pox and ordered Herndon removed
at once to the pest house.
Owing to the fact, however, that the
new bridge across Walnut creek had not
been completed, the man was not moved
till the afternoon.
Those who lived in the house with
Herndon are now confined there under
quarantine. They are his aunt Ella
Hel1ldoa. his brother. Fred Herndon,
and Elias two children.
The two other patients in the pest
house are getting along very well.

after the Legislature has desired its
abolition, there is no law allowing the
defendant any salary.
The deprivation of the salary, lies with
in the power of the Legislature whether
constitutionally exercised or not, and if
improperly exercised the courts can
furnish no remedy. The State Treasurer
cannot lawfully pay out the States
money without the sanction of the Leg
isIature, and the courts cannot coerce the
Legislature to pay a salary any more
than IL State bond

affirmed
