The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-08-29

Now and then a Republican patron asks
why the Journal devotes so much space to
Mr.. Bryan's speeches.. They say truthfully
that no man is so unfair in his treatment
of Republicans. so unjust i'm his criticisms
or so vicious in his attacks and misrep-
reservations. This is also true. During the
past week Mr.. Bryan attacked his OPP
ponent by name and attempted to place
him in a false light before the country.
This is the first time in many years that
a presidential candidate has criticised his
opponent in public speech or by writing.
In this respect Mr.. Bryan is the most I'M
compromising ~of opponents. A mar Of
Democratic birth, whose father, in a small
way. was a bitter opponent of Abraham
as IL he were an admirer and had left the
Republican party because it had ceased to
follow that great man. 1t is true that Mr..
Bryan is constantly abusing Republicans,
as a correspondent says. Such being the
case, he and others seem a little indignant
because parts of the most of Mr. Bryan's
speeches are printed in the Journal.
The explanation is that. first. the Journal
is a newspaper, and desires to give it's
readers some account of passing events.
Furthermore, the publication of consider
able portions Of Mr.. Bryan's speeches is
the best service 1T can render the Repub-
lican party. The Misrepresentation, the
evasions, the aspersions of Mr.. Bryan, read
by Republicans. are certain to make them
very indignant The Republican who reads
Bryan speeches will cease to be apathetic.
On the contrary. he will go forth to stir
up others by reading some particularly I'M
just and false statements of the Demo-
cratic dictator and showing them up. Four
years ago the Journal printed Mr.. Bryan's
speeches until they came to be mere repe-
convert was made by the reading of the
speeches in 1896. People went to hear
them because Mr.. Bryan was speaking his
message. 1t is different now; Mr.. Bryan is
not at his best as an anti-imperialist, and,
in trying to keep clear of 16 TO 1, he is ham,
pered like a man attached to a ball and
chain. Mr.. Bryan is not nearly as effective
as four years ago, which his readers will
discover. 1t is desirable that Republicans
note this decline of power in his speeches.
If the Journal should say that Mr.. Bryan
said this thing and that il might not be be-
lieved. since he is giving utterance to some
wearisome rubbish. but when II appears in
his own words Mr.. Bryan will be seen as
he is. and, being so seen. will not make
converts in the Republican ranks.

THE HICKORY ELM CLUB.


Speaking about strange words that nave
turned up in this campaign" said Peter
j. Lummix, "I ran across a new one the
other day. Can anyone of you define a
Lallapaloosa?' Major Warrington replied
that his recollection was that a 'lalla-
paloosa' beat four aces or a straight flush.
I'm other words" said he, sit is the best
hand in the deck"

aces or a straight flush" said Mr.. Lum-
mix, but what is 1t? Rule 4-11-14, hang
ing on the wall in Judges New York Poker
Club, says: "A gentleman holding a 'lalla-
paloosa'' takes everything in sight, but it
don't say what it takes to make a lallapa-
loosa.'"
No member on the floor seemed to be
able to define the word, though nearly all
of them knew it was something dangerous
TO run against. The president came to the
rescue by saying that it was a rascally
device for fleeing ~greenhorns. He ex-
planned that, like some other large words
that had lately come into use. it had no
definite meaning. Said he: Rule ALTA.
of which Mr.. Lummix has spoken, is hung
on the wall in plain sight; the victim is
given four aces, or a royal straight flush;
and when he has put up all his money on
a sure thing the fellow on the other side
of the table shows down three spades. the
jack of hearts and the queen of diamonds,
or any other combination, TO- that matter,
which he happens TO hold, and rakes in
the POT on a 'lallapaloosa.' Perhaps the
victim hasn't heard of the thing before,
but if ne kicks, as he Is pretty sure TO do,
he is referred to the plain rule on the wall.
The cappers, standing around the table,
expressing establishment at his apparent
ignorance of the game. tell him that it
has always been the rule Of the house,
and that IL is all right. So you see,' the
president went on to say, there are as
many 'lallapaloosas' In a deck of cards
as there is in Democratic politics. Did
it ever occur TO any of you that Colonel
Bryan and our party were working the
'lallapaloosa' racket on the Republicans?
The best five cards the Republicans have
are Protection. Sound Money. National Ex-
~pansion, Prosperity at Home and Prestige
Abroad. Colonel Bryan says. They may
think that hand can't be beaten. but wait
until the money is all up and | will

venge. Mr.. Clarke is an extremely wealthy
man and his sole idea of politics is to buy
