OF course this at first seems discourage

at an inopportune time. Most of the

time We can hardly expect anything
else. Another meeting will be called for

Cleveland, O., Sept. 26--"Chicago is
the worst place in the country for Re
publicans,'' said Senator Hanna before
leaving for New York in long inter
view on the campaign and the situation.
The senator was not in a good humor,
and he talked bitterly of Bryan and his
campaign

said the. senator. He is wabbling around
from one thing to another. trying to find
safe ground to stand on. We kick the
prop from one of his so-called issues and
he executes a somersault to another as
fiinsy. Pretty soon he will land on the
real issue of the campaign-free silver
at is to land then Wen have him.
Bryan is promising everybody every
thing just so they will elect him. He
has to my positive knowledge promised
Croker one of the cabinet places, and
probably more than one-that is, that
Croker can give the places to whomso-
ever he chooses. He will have to create
some more cabinet positions to keep his
word if he is elected.
This sO-called trust issue is the
veriest rot. never challenged Bryan to
joint debate, though / have been mis-
quoted as to what I said about trusts
I said that according to the legal and
commercial definitions there are no
trusts, and there are not. The trust
issue and the fake Imperialism issue are
intended to pull the wool over the eyes
of the voters. The talk of German
American assertions is nonsense. Bryan's
idea that there is no chance for young
men in this country is too silly to be
ism and militarism, is Bryan claptrap-
perry to dodge the real ISSUE"
