TORS

TORS.
| Denver Republican (Pop): Many ST.
yer Republicans and Populists will feel
disappointed over the rather ignomin-
ious defeat of Mr.. Towne.
New York Times. (Dem): Bryan,
Towne and the Sioux Falls Populists
are the only persons who will feel or
express any emotions over the nomi-
nation of Adlai Stevenson for vice
president on the Bryan ticket. Mr..
Stevenson is respectable man, too re-
spectacle for the company he will keep
for the next four month"; but he is
scarcely what the experts call vote
getter"
Philadelphia Record (Dsm.): The
contention over the silver plank has
demonstrated clearly that the break in
the Democratic party that existed VIII
Bryan was nominated In 1896 still con-
tinues and still makes 1T impossible to
maintain the position of 1896 and EJECT
the Democratic candidate.
New York Times (gold DEM: 1t is
fortunate for the nation, fortunate for
its business interests and its prosperity
that the Organized Democracy at Kan
sas City refuses to dissemble its revo-
lutionary purposes or make any con-
cessions to the conservative wing OF the
party. In their naked ugliness the
party and its principles are not dan
| gerous.
| Baltimore Sun (Dem.): Bryan had it
in his power to secure the support of
that large element in his party which
he alienated four years ago, but he has
been unwilling to make any OF the con-
cessions which ordinary prudence and
! political sagacity should have d'ctat d
without abandonment of principle The
dictator is not always acceptable to the
American people. and Mr.. Bryan's
"vindication" may prove the most cost
ly blunder in his political career.
Milwaukee Journal (Dem.): No party
can get away from its history. The
party was tied to free silver; it could
not get away from it, even when want
ing to. And this puts weapons in the
hands Of the Republicans.
| DR.. Frank A. Bryant, 105 West Sew

Mr.. Bryan for his persistency, but not
for his discretion. In my judgment he
