demonstration.
Mr.. Bryan tonight gave out the follow

POLITICAL PHAR1sEElsM

The republican party ls continually
Represented az political machine Of
and oppression. All the evils
10 which flesh is heir are laid at the
door OF Metropolitan administration.
and no language seems to be strong
enough TO paint the monstrous mis-
takes of Mckinley. Since the war with
Spain, which brought new reeponribili-
ties ard new duties to our nation, the
present administration has been sub
jected to a continual bombardment Of
popocratic mud batteries.
The ssereotyped phrases about mill
starism imperialism, war OF con-
quest etc, are everlastingly paraded
before the public and broad hintr that
the republican leaders are striving to
overthrow the republic are resorted TO
on numerous occasions.
If those would-be statesmen who re-
peat that kind Of political ghost stories

frauds.
All this talk about 1.-THE war for hui
manity which Was turned into war of
conquest" is ridiculous in the extreme;
for no war of conquest is carried on
by our country. and real war for hui

wars and revolutions whose final issues
have resulted in the advancement of
humanity and civilization. but the real
aim and object Of tllore wars have new
er been that OF humanity. War IL al
waya cruel, relentless. terrible. and the
demons Of destruction can never be
humane"
In the war with Spain, the American
army and navy showed as much hui
mainly and Christian spirit az the mex
orable rules of war ever permitted, but
war IL war; and all the fine and phari-
saical phrases ever invented can not
