New York. September 2S-tStsh Spe-

In the East proportions that are consistent
with It's Importance. II may also be slld
that it Is being treated with the interest
that II deserves and each party is ac-
knowledging the position and strength In

able in this line. and that is the newer at
titudc assumed towards Mr. Bryan and
his party by his opponents.
This is only slightly reflected in the
metropolitan press, but 1t is Increasingly
seen even in the most partisan Of repuo-
lican papers. They are giving his utter :
ances every attention nowadays and are
trying to meet his arguments with their
own views seriously and with concern
1t has unfortunately not always been So
The papsrs Of this city have tried long 10
discountenan:e the democratic campaign
with what they believed to be sarcasm
and ridicule, and have met only the incl
dental issues with anything like argument.
The speech of some spellbinder In smai j
town. as very general rule, was peckea

ant persons a single sentence was sought
out for long editorial comment and the
spirit and meaning of the whole ohecured.
IL possible, or at least overlooked
This change which has surely occurred
has come from the public demand, and as
far as the republican press here is con-
cerned has not been a willing one. the
popular earnestness and seeking for far
play was the cause, and this asking BY the
voters for the reason why and how has
been conspicuous to the casual observer
and to the National committeeman. IL
appears now that the republican managers
relied very largely upon public apathy
and a continuance of condition from the
last election for their tickets success.
They reckoned that it was sufficient f r
them to place the same candidate against
the old democratic leader and appeal TO
the leftover convictions of the State and
say "again" The money question was to
be the all-in-all and they imagined that
only an inconsiderable number Of voters
had learned more or looked differently
upon this question than they did then. 1t
was thought that all the managers really
had to DO was to let the people know that
another contest was on between the same
candidates and they, the voters would be

and then, he can be imprisoned at the
pleasure of the judge, three months, six
months, year--any length of time. So
that this government by injunction not
only makes legislators out of our Federal
judges, and is, therefore, usurpaticn, but
in cases where the injunction covers
things already covered by law, it deprives
a man Of the right of trial by jury and
is usurpation.
During the century in which our country
was made, in which our cities were built,
our forests cleared, our rivers bridged,
our railroads built our great manufacture
ing establishments erected, nobody heard
OF government by injunction, and the
jurisdiction of the chancery court was
never dragged into the domain OF the
criminal law and used to destroy trial BY
jury. The great captains OF industry in
this country never asked to have the
courts prostitute themselves in that way.
During this whole century the laws were
executed, property was protected order
was preserved, life was projected and our
country grew as no other country on earth
grew. But about quarter of century
ago generation of dishonest manipu-
lators made their appearance in this coun-
try They were a set of men who did not
clear forests did not build bridges, did
not build cities, did not build railroads,
who did not build anything but who
reached out and through various devices
robbed others of the fruits of their labor.
Their schemes were essentially dishonest
They were shrewd enough to know how to
rob and plumber by the aid of the law in
stead OF getting into the clutches of the
law.
Gould did not build railroads, he stole
them The great trusts that today control
the manufacturing establishments of this
country did not build the shops OF Ameri-
ca, they gobbled them up. These corrupt
manipulators proceeded TO debauch public
officials; they depauched legislation; they
went into the business of bribery to secure
such laws as they wanted, and to prevent
the pa ssage of such laws as they did not
want, end they did not stop there They
looked bout them and they saw that the
courts welded mere power than the legis-
latnre 1t Was therefore, more important
10 be able to control the courts. II would
be difficult and inconvenient to attempt
10 buy a judge every time a manipulation
wanted to use him; so they saw to it that
no man was appointed to a judgeship who
was not satisfactory to them: and, conse-
quehuy, no man has been appointed to a
Federal Judgeship for twenty-five years
who was not satisfactory to the corpora
tons.
