BELMONT's LETTER.

Will Mr.. Bryan undertake to answer Mr.
Belmont's last letter? There are undoubt-
eddy a great many Democrats who would
like 10 have him answer 1t.
There Is one point in 1T that ought to
be answered, and that this: On what
ground does Mr.. Bryan base his position
that only those who are willing to stand
by the platform of 1896 ought to be per-
mitted to assist in making the next plat
form, in view of the assertion of MIR. Bel
mont, that he. Mr.. Bryan. refused to stand
by the platform of 1892. and yet insisted
on having a hand IN making the platform
of 1896?
MIR, Belmont goes further than that, and
declares that Mr.. Bryan construed with
Silver Republicans and Populists to over
throw the platform of 1892 long before the
meeting of the Democratic convention of
1896, and. with the help of others, finally
succeeded in overthrowlng it. If, prior to
the convention of 1895, Mr.. Bryan thought
It right to refuse TO stand by the platform
of 1892, why does he think Il wrong. pre-
vious to the convention of 1900, to refuse
TO stand by the platform in existence-the
platform OF 1895? This is virtually the
question which Mr.. Belmont asks. and
which Mr.. Bryan is expected to answer
The answer ought not to be delayed long
and 1t ought TO be to the point when it is
made.
