MR.. BRYAN IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Through West Virginia yesterday
from Huntington, on the Ohio river, to
Hutton and Ronceverte, in the south
eastern part of the State, Hon. William
J Bryan made one of the most remark
able political trips even in his expert
euce. Ovstions had been expected
but such extraordinary outbursts OF
popular euthu 'iasm as the democratic
nominee met upset all calculations. At
Huntington the crowd was estimated al
from $1,000 to 1000 persons, and at
Hinton there were fully $4,000. Every
town, no matter how small, turned out
large assemblsge. The enthusiasm
for the leader aud mis- cause was even
more PRONOUNCED than the numbers OF
his hearers. The people surged around
him in dense masses TO shake his hand,
to hold up their children to see him and
wish success to his cause. The State
was afire with fervor from one end to
the other.
At Huntington during his speech q
republican called out: "What about 16
to II" "If you want to know upon
what low plane the republicans are
conducting this campaign" replied the
speaker, ''just see how much more they
are interested in dollars than in human
rights. They were afraid OF 50-cent
dollar, but they are not afraid an IS per-
cent. citizen. When you talk to them
of human rights they won't hear you.
They want TO hear about dollars. Ii
hey have gold dollar in their pockets
il doesn't matter what kind OF govern
ment they have over their heads"
Taking up the question OF imperial
ism, Mr.. Bryan said that it does not
matter what you call the head of an
empire. He may be called an emperor,
a king or president. 1t is not what
you call him, but the extent of the
powers he exercises which determines
his character. He compared one of
King Georges proclamatioDs With the
republican platform, and said Ameri-
cans ought to apologize to England for
the trouble they gave her in the last
century before they found out the ben
efits OF the colonial policy.
At Hinton Mr.. Bryan Was interrupt.
ed by man in the audience. which
was evidently largely republican. who
asked him Why be favored the ratifica
ton of the treaty of Paris and the pay.
ment of 100000 to Spain for the
Philippine Islands.
Mr.. Bryan said the ratification of the
treaty would bring peace and the army
home. Hostility to the Filipinos had
not begun. To reject the treaty would
have left the question in the hands of
the President without any instructions
from Congress to negotiate a new
treaty. He favored and urged at the
same time the passage Of the Bacon
resolution which promised the Fill
pinos their independence, and that
was defeated by the vote OF the Vice
President. As to the 500, 000. 900 be be-
lieved that IL would be returned by the
FilipiDos in exchange for their free
dom, and if not he preferred to let 1t 90
IS an offering for liberty than to be
used in the purchase of human beings
and their country, ]

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 81 1900

TuE New York Herald In Its last
snndav,s edition published a poll Civ.
inc the election to Mckinley. There
was time when such a poll or esti-
mate by the New York Herald would
have been worthy OF consideration, but
that was a long time ago. The New
York Herald was founded by James
Gordon Bennett, very able and re-
markable man. Under his auspices
the paper forged to the front, and, de-
spite rivalry and persecution, became
easily the first OF American news
papers. The Herald was then an H.
dependent paper. With the death oil
the elder Bennett, if not before, the
Herald lost its pre-eminence as 'he
ablest of American newspapers. IL
was eoualed, if not surpassed, in news
by number OF other papers, repuoli'
can. democratic or independent. Its
Washington column, which used to be
so strong, became good for nothing. VI
late there is great Improvement there,
but none in the other departments OF
the journal. 1t became Aashy and SEN
sational. Its editorials have been snail
low and ignorant. Nobody cared to
read them for q long time. It's pro-
prietor went to Europe to live. This
would have been decided advantage,
If he had put the paper in charge OF 3
competent and experienced journalist,
but he undertook to edit the paper by
telegraph fIom London and Pasis-or
rather from an atmosphere of vice, dis
sipation, tuft hunting and funkeyism,
and boon companions in those cities.
The result is the squandering OF
great property. 10 politics the inde-
pendeuce of the Herald is gone. 1t is
republican, but it does no good to that
party, and as little harm to the democ-
racv. The prophecies OF the Herald
are of no more value than those of any
one of fifty other republican papers IN
the land. Nobody cares to read or
quote its editorials any longer.
