from bananas 10 sauer kraut, and he
swallows the mess depending upon in
finite mercy for the result
M Bryan and his platform will
doubtless be indorsed at Kansas City
Ia July The Democrats want Mr.
Bryan for their candidate, the Republi-
cans want him TO be the Democratic
candidate. There Is no other prominent
Democrat In the land that desires TO
ran on the Bryan platform, and there
sn0 other platform In the land that de-
aies Mr.. Bryan as its candidate. The
only proclaimed opposition to II thus far
comes from that incarnate self-conceit
which calls itself Bourke Cochran, But
Mf Cochran Is not-as he supposes-
be only pebble on the beach; there are
others. He IS not the entire dog, or even
he head Of the animal. He is only one
vlnd-swayed hair upon the ultimate
and expectant end OF a tail that Is will
ING TO wag In any direction for bone.
Hs Is without influence in his party, or
out Of H. The Nebraska platform In
rs entirety will, / repeat probably be
adopted in July by the national conven-
ton.
! an not here TO antagonize free
Coinage OF silver or TO withdraw one
word that | have ever uttered In its
bshalf. Bmetalism is not so necessary
now as II was twelve years ago when
he agitation for free coinage OF silver
isl assumed proportions OF national
Consequence.
Since our opponents made free silver
unage one Of the many tenets OF their
pcliarious faith, Austria Hungary and
hsssa have changed from the single
N's' 10 the single gold standard. ia
aA-alert sagacious and progressive
ls changed from l6 10 10 a TO 1.
At,en Mexico has placed her public in
eseledness upon a gold basis; the mlnts
9 india have been closed against the
lAlher coinage Of silver rupees. and a
lousand million ounces of uncoined
sl'el are now ready TO be thrown upon
he hrst solvent nation that shall be un-
wise enough TO act alone In opening its
. Ilnls TO free coinage Of the white met
,,.et Obvious of all these changes.
AZ Bryan continues to perambulate
.ns country and declare that when he
= PRESIDENT he viii force 45-cent dol
ar upon al Europe. He is a living
ssillal OF the maxim that "times change
auu We change with them" He re-
ssem0les the yearllng bull who dis

ne vice Of Mr. Bryan's collection OF
ssphisms IN favor OF free silver coin
sse mas always been that Il Is not an
.ttuWeht Tor bimetalsm at all. and
s s'ss nus methods would only result in
ss-psulutlng the single silver standard
