The Baltimore Sur, ''gold-bug"
organ. declares that at least q dozen
or more Democratic leaders in the
southern states have written letters
to William J. Bryan asking him to
lay aside bis personal ambition for
the good Of his party, and by with
drawing permit the nomination Of
some one else, who may possibly be
elected. They do not deny his claims
nor his ability, but point out to him
that by no combination Of circum-
stances can he hope to win, and that
his nomination means the certain de.
feat Of the Democratic ticket in No.
vember. They argue that il the
Democratic party hopes to succeed it
must drop the silver issue, and that
Bryan's nomination means the in
dorsement Of the Chicago platform.
The Sun adds that thus far Col. Bryan
has resisted these opportunities, and
there is no reason to believe he will
ever yield to them, as his personal
ambition not only leads him to ex-
pect denomination, but blinds him to
the fact that he can never make
better canvass than in the last cam
paign.

GENERAL LAWTON'S EVIDENCE

Those people who call themselves
''anti-imperialists," and who place
their own judgment Is to the policy
In the Philippines above that Of tho
government, shrink from being called
harsh namea Although every au-
thority, military and civil, and every
returning traveller and soldier says
the instruction has been kept up by
the hope Of Democratic success, and
by the encouragement Aguinaldo
takes from his 'anti-imperialist" ad-
mirers, these 'antis" do not like to
be held responsible for the death Of
our soldiers and for the continuance
Of the war But they are responsible.
No man can escape the consequence
Of his acts, and in matters Of state ig-
norance Of what these consequences
would be is a crime. In addition to
the stirring denunciation by Dewey,
Otis, Worcester, Schurman, Funston
and others who have been in the Phil
ippines and know whereof they speak,
the following letter written by Gen.
Lawton in November bears directly
upon the question, and proves that
the politicians who would oppose the
government for selfish reasons under
the guise Of "antl imperialism" are in
reality responsible for every life be.
ing lost in the Philippine war. Gen.
Lawton says:
~ wish to God that the truth of
this whole Philippine situation could
be known by every one In America as
! know it. If the real history, inspir-
alton and conditions of this insurrec-
ton aud influences, real and external,
that now encourage the enemy, as
we'll as the actual possibilities of
these islands and people and their re-
lations to the great east, could be un-
derstood at home we would hear no
more talk Of unjust shooting Of gov
ernment" into the Filipinos, or Of
hauling down our flag in the Philip
pines. II the so-called anti-imperial-
lists would honestly ascertain the
truth on the ground and not in dis
tant America, they, whom | believe
to be honest men, misinformed, would
be convinced Of the error Of their
statements and conclusions and Of the
unfortunate effect of their publica-
tion here. II am shot by Filipino
bullet, it might as we'll come from
one Of my own men, because know
from observations, confirmed by cap
tured prisoners, that the continuance
Of fighting Is chiefly due to reports
that are sent out from America"
Not long after this letter was writ.
ton, General Lawton was stricken by .
rebel bullet, himself a victim to anti
Imperialism" or, as II would have
been called In 1864, ''copperheadism."
1t Is no wonder that the 'sntia"
try to escape responsibility, but they
cannot do 1t. The voice Of General
Lawton is stilled BY death, but his
words are living and they convict the
'anti.imperislists" Of his death and
Of that Of hundreds Of bright Ameri.
can boys who placed love Of country
and flag above personal safety and
