It may be; said that at least 100000 of
them voted for purposes of rebuke
alone. Compare the Democratic votes
OF 1892 and 1896, and you will find that

vote against him In 1896. Thus. as 1t

BRYAN NEVER APPROVED M'KIN
LEY, NOR PIZARRO.

Remember that the Hon. William ].
Bryan advised the Democrats in Con-
gress to vote for the ratification Of the
treaty of peace between this country
and Spain, and remember that 1t was
by this treaty that we acquired the
Philippines and became responsible for
the maintenance OF good order in those
OF the Valley.
But at the moment that Mr.. Bryan
favored the ratification OF the treaty
rather than It's rejection he distinctly
announced his stern objection to the
policy which the Mckinley administra-
ton has so wantonly pursued toward
the Islands and their inhabitants, in
violation OF all the obligations, cX-
pressed and implied, which this gov
ernmcnt was under TO give, or allow,
tile Filipinos free self government In
their internal or domestic affairs, at
once, with entire independence even
tually.
The ratification of the treaty, as Mr..
Bryan urged, would at least put Il final
and formal end to n state of war and
establish permanent peace between the
United srnIes and SpHtn, besides Sc
curing the independence OF Cuba and
other desirable objects that all of us
were agreed upon; while its rejection
would continue the status quo-a state
of nominal warfare, with all It's dan
gers and contingencies; everything at
loose ends and nothing determined;
chaos largely prevailing in all the is
lands. and their Inhabitants In frame
of mind and an uncertainty of condi-
ton, that were unhappy. ii not prcg

confused situation invited plots. in
trignes and disorders within the is
lands and lnterferences and intermed-
ding from without, that might COM
rlicate affairs, and the proverb we'll re-
minds us that delays are dangerous.
Moreover, Mr. Bryan held that the
administration we'll knew to what our
fixed character as n free government
and our announced purposes in dcclar-
ing war as we'll as the wishes of our
