The paper that, the Charles Town,
West Virginia colored Democrat askca
Mr.. Bryan to sign pledged him to Of.
pose any measure that discrimInates
against any American citizen on ae-
count Of color,"M Mr. Bryan,s refusal to
subscribe to that sentiment places him
in the inconsistent position OF agreeing
TO the governing of certain
class Of citizens at home
without their cogrent, and op-
posing . policy that enforces obedience
TO the rlghtful sovereignty Of the gov
ernment abroad Isn't there screw
loose somewhere in Mr.. Bryan's mental
conyolutions.
Democratic Harmony in New York.
They are having high old links in the
New York state Democracy these days
with the pot calling the kettle black.
Ever since, or it may have been before,
the .Kansas City convention Boss cro-
ker has been rubbing 1t on ex-senator
Hill ito beat the band" As may be
surmised Mr.. Hill has; not been passive
under these Negotiations. and in his
speech at Troy On Labor Day the sage
OF "Wolfert's Roost" came OF the perch
and hit the Il Am In 1t for Ny Pocket"
politician OF Tammany some pretty
hard blows. Mr. Hill admitted that
political leadership there must always
be- Then he scathingly denounced
that kind Of leadership which is .ignor-
ant. corrupt and arrogant, which ,toler-
ates no criticism. knows no prudence
and accepts no suggestions; which first
dominates wards, then cities, and al
terward reaches out for the control OF
states" After he had said that and
more of the same sort, it would have
been obviously superfuous for him 70
explain that his denunciatIon was aim
ed directly at Richard Croker.
Certainly SO. Dick did not have to
muse Wonder If ne means me- The
Cube of a Vacuum was UP to snufr In a
jiffy and he let fly Mt David Bennett in
Hohoken English as follows:
Mr., Hill attacked me IN his speech. He
did not come right out and attack me by
name. but he did so indirectly. That's his
style'o of doing business. He did the same
thing six years ago ltl = iss- n =.
Mr.. Hill never does things In the open.
He always hides behind something and
leaves loophole to crawl out OF. He Is
X he wanted TO. He Is q picayune politi-
CLAN. n peanut politician. and he wouldn't
be n captain OF an election district II he
lived In New York City. Tammany Hall
wouldn't have n deceitfui, untruthful
sneak Ike l'sre Hill In Its organization II
1t wasn't Tor these things would have
recognized Dave Hill as leader long ago.
What We want In leader Is man with
the courage to stand by what he means,
and not 80 sueaklng around In the dark
What sorry mess 1t is. Croker de-
livering homilies on honesty and probl
ty in politics! How pure and clean we
are, said the Wallow to the Hog. Why
It is enough to make the Egyptian
obellsk In Central Park shake with
laughter.
