party got in and then there were more
trusts organized under the Republican
Administration during the last three and
a half years than were organized in the
previous history of the country, and they
are now trying to make themselves think
it is good. They have had ito change
their opinion as fast as the Republican
party changed it's position. Let me give
you a recent illustration. When Mr. Nc
Kinley sent his message to Congress say
ing it was our plain duty to give free
trade ITO Porto Rico. those Republicans
walked on the streets and echoed plain
duty Then something happened. Some
power behind the throne began to work.
This power OVERRIDE the recommendation
of the governor general at Porto Rico;
this power OVERRIDE the petition of the
people of Port Rico: this pwer overrode
the chairman of the Committee on Ways
and Means, and compelled him to bring
in a bill directly the opposite of the Dill
he first introduced. This power overruled
the President and made him sign the Dill
when he said it was our plain duty to do
the opposite.
Republicans, are you willing to turn
over on this question just because your
marty has done a thing that you know is
not right?
ait is only a little more than two years
ago that the President sent message to
Congress in which ne said that forcible
annexation is contrary to our code of NOR
ality and criminal aggression, and yet
today Republicans are asked to approve
of a thing that was denounced as Grim
inal aggression and against our code Of
morality less than two years ago.
Il said that l lad no fear that those
who were with us in 1896 are against us
now, but l do believe that many people
who did not realize in 1896 how the dol
lar was rising above the man in the con-
sideration CT the Government and who
did net realize then how organized greed
had been pressing for consideration be-
fore the Republican party, and securing
special privileges from the Government for
private gain, now realize on these ques-
lions what they did not understand OF
the old ones. and that more
people will leave the Republican party
because of it's position on militarism and
Imperialism than have left it in one cam
paign before in all the history OF the
Republican PARTY
The remainder of Mr.. Bryan's speech
was devoted to the policy of the Admin
istration in the Philippines.

INTERVIEW WITH MRS. MAVERICK.
Attacks on England Late Chief Justice Arouse
Her Indignation.


London, August 21.-For the first time
since her life sentence was imposed
eleven years ago, Mrs. Florence May
rick had a private interview with her
counsel. DR.. Clark Ball, of New York.
at Aylesbury prison today. A portion
of the time counsel gave UP to repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, who
through the courtesy of the Home Office,
was granted an opportunity to talk to
the prisoner. Mrs. Maybrick is indig-
nant at the attacks made by the Liver
pool Post on the late Chief Justice of
England, Lord Russell Of Killowen, for
mer counsel for the prisoner
THE only person up to the present
who ever saw me alone she said to the
Associated Press representative, twas
the Chief Justice. When the assizes
were here last February Lord Russell
came to the prison and asked to see me
as was his official right, irrespective of
the Home Office or any one. When he
was starting he said Mrs. Maybrick,
l am doing all in my power for your re-
lease. Whatever may happen remember
this-that if there is one man in Eng
land who believes in your innocence 1
am that man..
ut was only by accident that | heard
of Lord Russell's death, for l have not
seen newspaper for a decade. But
could not help but feel that in his death
l had lost my best friend. 1t is an out
rage, in view of his constant, untiring
efforts and friendship for me, that he
should be attacked now that he is dead.
l fully appreciate and am glad of the
chance to express my gratitude to the
officials in Washington and to my friends
throughout America, and especially the
ladies for what they are doing. 1t tB
that alone which has upheld me all these
years. 1 have many friends in England
too, and cannot but believe the time will
soon come when these long years of cap
tivity will cease and l shall be restored
to my mother and my country"
The recent United States memorial
is still in the hands of the Home Secre-
tary, Sir Matthe White Ridley, and Mrs.
Maybrick's friends are hopeful that when
the answer comes it will be a pardon.
