BELMONTS RESPONSE.
Charges the Silver Leader With Being
Defamatory.


NEW YORK, March 22.-Perry Bel
mont has replied to the letter from
William j. Bryan declining the invita-
ton to attend the jefferson day BAN
quet. In part he says:
Your purpose to be defamatory is
obvious. Your skill in the use of words
forbids the plea that in your letter you
misused them through ignorance. The
design is plain, and were it not that you
have interviewer in your abuse refer
ence to my opinions upon public ques-
lions as opposed to your own, to the
Democratic club of which I am presi-
dent and to it's proposed celebration of
Jefferson's birthday, should have left
your offensive statements unanswered.
'The Democratic cub has member
ship of nearly 5000 Democrats who all
hold to the main principles of Democ-
racy, while their opinions may vary in
regard to such political questions as are
not fundamental but merely local or
transitory like many of the vain con-
ceits you have yourself espoused. But
none of these 5000 members is Repub-
lican. AS for my self. never voted for
a Republican candidate for either a
great or small Office"
