BRYAN forgot to make any refere nee to
imperialism" in North Carolina.


BEoAUsE Bryan made no reference to
free silver in his acceptance speech does
not allay any of the distrust the people
have in him as political financier. The
issue cannot be pushed to the background
1t is a part of the Democratic platform,
and was placed there by his insjstence and
against the wishes of large number of
the delegates at the Kansas City conven-
ton.
His pledges on free silver are clear and
lucid. In 1896, in speech at the Acad-
envy of Music, Philadelphia he said: 81
do not want anybody to vote for me and
then object to anything l may do after
they elect me. If can prevent the main
tenance of the gold standard, you can re-
ly upon my doing it upon the very first
opportunity that the people will give me. .
THE right of the United States to re-
nounce its authority over the Philippines
and at the same time exercise protecto-
rate over them would not for a moment
be recognized by the powers of Europe.
The respect which has hitherto been shown
the Monroe doctrine will be found want
ing if we attempt to extend that doctrine
Into Asiatic waters. Unless the United
States is prepared to fight for an empty
claim, which gives it no advantages, but
heavily increases its responsibilities, it
cannot take the position of guaranteeing
the independence of the Philippines.
There can be no middle ground between
absolute sovereignty and complete aban-
.donment of the islands. Mr.. Bryan
would attempt policy which would be
sure to embroil us in quarrels with foreign
powers, which would leave the Philippines
prey to internal discussions and exter-
nal attacks, and would make the United
States the laughing stock of nations.

THE committee which gave Bryan the
official notice of his nomination was com
posed of men representing the states and
territories which participated in the Kan
sas City convention. On that committee
were delegates representing North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia. Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Virginia
states which in 1896 gave Col. Bryan sc of
his 176 electoral votes, and lacking whose
solid support this year his canvass would
be absolutely without hope. What fer

North Carolina states which through the
grandfather clauses" of their new con-
situations have expressly violated the
federal injunction that the American ne
gro's franchise is not to be abridged be-
cause of race, color or previous condition
of servitude What tenderness for "brown
men, held in ''the darkness of vassalage"
must have been instilled in the hearts of
the committeeman from South Carolina,

voters back into that outer darknessl And

unmistakable signs of a purpose to do the

particular southern Democrats merely ex
changed smiles with their sympathetic
colleagues from Alabama, Arkansas,
Texas, Tennessee and Missouri, while the
Nebraska leader expounded with unmov-
ed gravity the harmless doctrine that men
of all skins and colors were created polt-
ical equals If they did not, their appre
citation of travesty in politics fell much
below the natural American level.

We can think of nothing more absurd
than the howl of empire that has been
raised by those anxious to forget the sill
yer debauch of four years ago The as
tonishing thing is that even some sensi-
BILE people should be influenced by it. The
only question is whether the American
people are willing to trust the affairs of
the country to Mr.. Bryan and Bryan
cabinet, and to take the chance of over
throwing our present financial standard.
thereby bringing disaster on the country.
People are more interested in knowing
what Mr. Bryan will do for the United
States than what he will do for the Phil
ippines. In regard to these latter every
one knows that they came to our govern
ment as the result of an honorably and
bravely fought war, and that the title to
them was ceded in treaty with the rati-
fication of which Mr. Bryan had good
deal to do The choice is not, as Mr..
Bryan has said, between gold standard
empire and bimetallic republic, but be-
tween a gold standard republic and free
silver socialism This republic has not
lived for century and more to be saved
by Mr.. Bryan. Indianapolis Nescs, (lyd. }.

Mr.. Bryan's speech on Wednesday was
a disappointment to those who hoped to
find in it's utterances final resting place
for the campaign. There is nothing in it
to give either enlightenment or assurance
on the points which cause conservative
Democrats to hesitate.
What Mr.. Bryan has to say is good,
though somewhat vague. The most re-
grettable part is his opposition in general
terms to an increase of the army. He may
mean all right. Perhaps 100000. men is
his idea of a small force. But then he
might best have said so. He will have
few followers in a proposition to return
TO footing of 80, 900 men.
We observe that Mr.. Bryan is to write
letter in which he will discuss all the
issues of the campaign. Thus. Democrats
can still afford to wait. Let us see what
he will have to say. 1t is always time
enough to resolve to vote against him if
he makes it impossible to vote for him.
The least that can be done is to give him
every chance to set himself right.-Jersey
City Neaos, Dem.
