Bryan has a peculiar sort of logic.
Before the convention he insisted and
commanded that a lG to l plank be
inserted in the platform, saying that
the reailirmation of the Chicago plat
form was not sufficient. Now that
nothing was said in the Kansas City
platform about the income tax, he
declares that the endorsement of the
Chicago platform covers the question
perfectly. Such trifing may be
thought shrewd, but it is neither
good politics nor respectable states
manShip.

silver is that it is way down toward
the tail of the platform as though that

it. If they do not mean it, they are
trying to fool the country with a false

do mean it, in the event of securing a
