Again we have from Mr.. Greene this
monstfous lie: He meaning Bryan
He has never denied but what he re-
ceiyes his 'sinew of war from the
silver mine owners" That particular
lie was never told before. Greene de-
serves all the credit OF originality; but
the charge was made In 1896 by a
prominent Republican that Bryan was
paid by silver mine owners, and was
promptly denied by him, and the prom
inent Republican took back the charge
declaring In his apology that when
/ Bryan states fact it Is true. His

In Mr., Greene's remarkable speech we
find this luscious Moroccan: Greece
had her Alexander, Rome her Cesar,
/ France her Napoleon, who each Ia his
turn made his country mistress of the
world. Each age evolves It's issues,
each age produces It's leaders.

and citing them as models to be init

Now win the reader go back and re-
read that extract from Mr.. Greene's
wonderful speech? He makes 1t an
offense in poor Colonel Bryan thnt he
was "mewling and pukiug in his
nurses arms" while Brother MeKin-
ley was fighting the battles of his
country! Alas and alaeki Could Bryan
