BRYAN SILVER - t9oo-v1c TORY

We arc actually encumbered with
supererogatory tenders of advice and
assistance. The Washington Post de-
sires us 10 withdraw Bryan. cancel the
platform of 1896, and nominate South
ern men on n goldite Republican plat
form. The Richmond Times thinks. or
says. that silver is dead, thut Bryan,
SO bereft, is functus ofllcio rs can

Texas. is our man, Southern man, on

seeing) thus:
I'm n good old Rebel,
And 1 don't care q d-n!"
But as Bailey is said to be yet in the
infant class of statesmen. he can wait.

Another gratifying thing is that
Bryan is SO faithful to the platform of

certain of his fool-fricnds that he
should drop our great home issues and
take up questions growing out of our
foreign or external affairs. The test

fidelity. his patriotism. his statesman

Democratic leader of the people against
all the powers that are combined
against the people. Tried and found
true, We shall try him again; and if
the people are true to him and them
selves. the Hanna Trust will be over
thrown and destroyed next year-in the
beginning of Happy New Century.
All things concur to cheer us. ana

Platform: Gratitude!

NOW gratitude has been defined as
"A lively sense of favors to come" but
whatever may be the feelings of Gen.
Joe. the Democracy, as n body, is not
gushing and bursting with gratitude of
any sort toward Hanna or Mckinley
or the Trust they serve, and it is not
likely to follow the General in that
direction.

however, in and out of the party.
