with . bad grace from :, Republican t
make that charge. when all the leading |
Republican papers prior TO the ka.i-t-
convention told how fo"iish it would be
for the Democrats to retain that plank |
when by its omission Mr.. Bryan would !
be sure Of eiect ion.
This shows their hypocrlcy since they |
desired nothing so much AS sis defeat. |
knowing that ii elected Mr.. Bryan would
do all in his over to restore bi,netallisnl.
1t also shows the sterling integrity and
unfaltering devotion Of Mr.. Bryan to
principle, since he would rather be de-
feated than prove f,lse to principle and
recreant to the trust reposed in him by
the people.
The statement that tie Republican
party favored Limetallism by interna-
tional a.reemc:,s IS equally false. for the
world knows ;..at me Secretary OF the
| Treasury by ANU with The consent OF the
President, il moi ~ Ii, imperative com

] yer. The Republican party was the
father OF the bill Gane..eii, ing silver. 1t
was drawn up by John Sherman. pas,c,.
by Republican Congress- and signed by
Grant, a Republican President, and hat
party cannot cy@s,e the responsibility of
T, the act.
The Sherman act was makeshift to
prevent the pa age Of bill for its re-
monetization. a mere sop thrown TO Re
publicans to prevent their detection from
the goldbug party.
The statement that AguiuaIsio begged
Dewey to permit him to return TO the
Philippine Islands is a deliberate false
hood, manufactured out of whole cloth.
The official correspondence of E. Sponsor
Pratt, United States Consul-General at
: Singapore aud W. r. Day. then Secretary
: Of State at Washington, shows that Pratt
/, sought out Aguinaldo 1T Singapore,
made arrangements for him to join
l Dewey at Hongkong, and 20 thence to
!. the Philippine Islands and be command

r Philippines. n also proves that there
: was tacit understanding between the
