The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1900-10-06
The Honorable Mr.. Bruce.

Hon. VIM. Cabell Bruce is in print again.
He is out in a letter which opens as follows +;
81 desire the defeat of Mr.. Bryan"
Just think of 1.-THE Hon. VIM. Cabell
Bruce desires the defeat of Mr. Bryan Sup
pose the whole country knew OF Mr. Bruce's
desire, what an over-powerng defeat would
be administered to the Democratic leader
1t is possible that had Mr.. Bryan known that
his candidacy would not have been kindly re-
ceived by the Hon. Mr. Bruce he would
not have accepted. What pity the National
Democratic Convention had not been told of
the opposition Mr.. Bryan would meet from
the Hon. Mr.. Bruce, so some other nominee
could have been selected.
The Hon. Mr.. Bruce has not been content
to simply announce "I desire the defeat of
Mr.. Bryan" but he has called attention to
the fact that poor and plain people are for the
Democratic candidate-the "thriftless ele-
inents of society,"" as he calls them. And he
called Mr.. Bryan's utterances shallow. o,
horrors Honorable William Cabell Bruce
exposing Mr.. Bryan's shallowness. The
whole matter is too terrible to think of and
we cannot further consider the opposition of
the Honorable Mr.. Bruce. We shall calmly
await the destruction. of the Democratic
l,arty.

Hiding Behind the Gold Dollar.

The Imperialists are trying to hide behind
the gold dollar, but the devotees of the Re-
public and the lovers of freedom are not de-
ceived. If The Congress should declare tin
The standard and make fifty grains dollar,
1t would go and every alleged sound money
man knows it. 1t is the government stamp,
iy Congressional authority, that gives value,
not the thing ITSELF 1t is the government
stamp on fifty cents worth of silver that makes
the silver dollar equal 10 every other dollar.
The silver dollar has no gold dollar behind
it. 1t is as much of dollar as the gold dol
lar Each is legal tender without limit,
made so by Congressional action, and at a
ratio of 16 to /.
1t is not the dollar that so much concerns
them-it is purpose TO make a strong gov
ernment, an imperial government. The
"plain people, are feared. Should they win
in November the trusts would be in danger,
and the power to accumulate i'll gotten wealth
DESTROYED
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1900-10-06

Mr.. Randolph Barton, lifelong Democrat, who
served in the Confederate Army throughout the
war, and who was chosen a delegate to The Demo-
cratic National Convention ut Chicago in 1896 by
the Maryland Democratic Stale Convention, gives
his reasons for not supporting Bryan
Before the meeting of the Dehocmtic Conven-
ton in Chicago in 1896 no one dreamed OF Mr.. Bry-
an as possible candidate. The delegation headed
by him barely secured admission TO the convention
That emotional body was carried Off lis feet and
out OF It's senses by highly theatrical speech and
offered to Bryan noltination which had been
honored by being conferred upon Cleveland Til
den, Hancock, Seymour and long list of distin-
gnished Democrats. Mr.. Bryan was then. and ever
aiterward remained, in closest sympathy with very
violent men. of whom Altgeld, who, as Governor
had pardoned and discharged from the peniten-
tary the wretches who killed the policemen in
Chicago. and Tillman were types. He Immediately
entered upon the advocacy OF a financial measur re
which. II it had been adopted. would have stepped
every individual who awaited himself of it in per
sonal disgrace and degradation and the iiati,ss in
dishonor. Mr. Bryan did not see or pretent.e. not
10 see, the dishonesty of what he advocated So
much the worse for him. When the .i6 to L propo-
stion was repudfated by the people, and when even
those who thoughtlesly Endorsed il in their second
thought became satisfied that IL was a mistake
u remained for Mr. Bryan defantly, and to his in

Also Against Bryan.

Mr.. George X. McGaw, Democrat, of George K.
McGaw & Co., and president of the Hotel Rennert
Company tells of the drift against Mr. Bryan:
Anyone who is familiar with the daily talk and
conversation of the guests of our hotel winch Is
fair index to the wants and needs of the people
throughout a wide section OF country, of which
our City of Baltimore is the business centre can
form fair idea of the antl-Bryan sentiment rms
includes the best opinion and Judgment of many
people from all walks of life in the entire State OF
MARYLAND, as well as from Virginia, West Virginia
Pennsylvania, and, OF course, many travelling men
representing all lines of trade from New York and
other large cities.
1.-THE concensus of this opinion is that Mr. Bryan is
not Democrat and does not, in fact represent any
of the cardinal principles and teachings OF the DEM
OcrItic party of which am, and have a ways been,
Il member. lie seems to represent only what can
best be described Organism, and that issue,
when Judged by his own actions and speech,
would appear to be the most dangerous issue
which the people of this country have been called
upon to meet. His principal desire is to become
President and dictator by taking any route indi-

DECLINES TO SERVE DEMOCRATS.
MIR. John Nj. Nelson Sends Letter of Re
fusaI TO Chairman Yandiyer.

Chairman Murray Vandiver, of the democratic
State Central Committee, is not meeting with the
success in the financial district that he doubtless
expected in securing finds and speakers for the
Democratic campaign The mail today brought
him two letters declining invitations that he had
extended to prominent Gold Democrats to identify
themselves with the party in the pending campaign
The letters were from Mr.. John NJ Nelson, mem
Der of the clearinghouse of Messrs. Hambleton &
Co., and one OF the Hopest Money Democratic
League. and Mr. Clayton G. Hall, member of the
executive committee of the Maryland Trust Conf
pany and actuary of the Maryland Life Insurance
Company. Mr.. Hall asked to make speeches
for the Democratic nominees. and in reply sent
emphatic refusal.
MIR. Nelson was asked to contribute to the cam
letter to Mr.. Vandiver:
contribution to assist in carrying the work of the
scription my feel justified in making for political
purposes this year will be given TO the Honest
Money Democratic League
'My reason for declining your request is that /
consider it would be great misfortune should Mr.
Bryan be elected President of the United States.
"Mr. Bryan represents an element antagonistic to
the best interests of the country He is committed
and pledged to the repeal of the gold standard law
and to the immediate restoration of the unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
HE is, further committed to all the iniquities of
the Chicago platform, including opposition to the
courts granting injunctions TO stop riots and blood
shed.
Furthermore, Mr. Bryan is not Democrat He
lisa Populist We must judge man by the COM
pany he keeps"

Ex-Unitcd States District Attorney William L.
Marbury in an interview on the situation today,
said

Endorsed this Populist-Free Silver Republican can

David of Hawaii, supported by Croker of New York
adopted their platform as well.
THAT may be all very well for the Popuists, of
course, and the Free Silver Republicans whose votes
Mr. Bryan seems to be so anxious TO secure but
where do the Democrats come in?
81 cannot see for the life of Inc that we have been
furnished with either a Democratic platform or a
Democratic candidate to vote for.
"Mr. Bryan's action in the matter would seem to
indicate thai he is determined TO prevent the Dem
ocrats from voting for him, and believe he will be
successful in great degree"

The Honest Money Democratic League OF
MARYLAND is a colossal fraud, so far as the
word democratic" is used. Some oil the
Committee of Seventy have been Democrats,
but the records of most of them is anything
but Democratic So far as we know OF them
they are u set of ex-paupers from Virginia,
ex-bankrupts, and disappointed office seekers'
All of them were for Mckinley four years ago
and the majority have not voted Democratic
ticket since.
And what sort of campaign are they max
ing? Publishing letters from Abraham >.
Hewitt, who sold out Tilden III 1876; W. ga
bell Bruce, who took nomination for the
State Senate from Mr.. Rasin in 1895 and was
a servant of John X. Cowen afterwards; from
Edeard IL. Cans, who, while serving as a
deputy to States Attorney Kerr in 1887, was
conspiring to get the office himself, ana hIl-
ing in this, ran as an Independent endorsed
by the Republicans; and from others OF the
same class. In the way of documents, they
are sending out TO persons in Carroll, at least
a lot on the last page OF which are these
words Published by the Republican Ma
tional Committee, New York" One of the
documents attempts to show how Protection
has benefited the farmers. What kind of a
Democrat is he who believes in the Republl-
can doctrine of protection? The others are
on Prosperity, when the failures of 1900 have
exceeded the record for years, and on the
bugbear of free coinage, while the Mckinley
Administration is coming silver at the ratio
of l6 TO l by congressional authority.
Think oft Democrats, as they call them
selves, sending out documents published by
Republicans. This heterogeneous crowd may
deceive Baltimoreans, but they will not fool
any Democrats of the counties.

Mr.. Hornblower's Letter.

''The Sound Money League" of Baltimore,
but a very unsound affair so far as citizens Of
a republic go, paraded recently letter writ.
ten by William B. Hornblower, of New York,
against Mr.. Bryan, They prefaced the letter
by stating that Mr.. Hornblower was dis
tinguished lawyer and was nominated by
Mr.. Cleveland for the United States Supreme
Court. They neglected to state, however,
that the said Hornblower was rejected by the
United States Senate. Investigation showed
he was not learned lawyer and that his only
recommendation was large contribution to
the Cleveland campaign fund.-
Scratch any of these money bags, and you
will find an Imperialist, CLOSED over as an
American citizen.

Col. Marshall for Bryan.

Col. Charles Marshall, of Baltimore, who
belonged to the Sound Money League in 1896,
is now for the Democratic ticket. He was
asked to join Harry PARIS "Honest Money
Democratic League" and declined, for the
reason that the currency is as sound as can
be made, at least by the Mckinley party,
which has controlled the government for nea r.
ly four years. Col. Marshall regards the
"Honest Money League as Money Trust,
and he is opposed TO trusts of all kinds. He
is also opposed to government by injunction
and ably discusses the question in an article
in the Sun.
