swered in my reply to No. q. Evidently
Thomas Jefferson thought that We could
buy the right to govern the Indians or
the Louisiana purchase, and Andrew
jackson thought we could similarly ac-
quire the right to govern the Seminoles3
of Florida.
10. Question: What are you going to-
do with the Filipino when you get him?
Are you going to kill him !?
Answer=-NNe are not going to kill the
Filipino until he tries to kill our SOL
sdiers, and he will stop trying to kill our
soldiers soon after he becomes convinced
that he will receive no aid in the effort
from the party of which Mr.. Bryan is
chief. As to what we are going to do
with him, the answer is simple. We
are going to civilize him and give him
the peace, order and Individual liberty of
Which Mr.. Bryan would deprive him for
all time by turning him over to syn
dictate of corrupt Chinese half breeds
and ferocious Tagalo bandits.
Mr.. Bryan yesterday attempted to
answer what j said about his attacks
on the United States army. He says
that the president in his message of
December, 1885. asked for an army of
100000 men two months before there
Wa any War in the Philippine islands.
He asks: Does MIR. Roosevelt know.
This! OF course know it: and let me
also add that Mr.. Bryan ought8to know,
What every we'll instructed schoolboy
knows, that the very time in December
The Philippine insurgent army VAS
threatening our outposts and collision.
MAS imminent any moment. Aguinaldo5
at that time Was trying tozorganize the
remnants of the Spanish army in con-
Junction With his own followers in a
Mar against US. The bill in which the
increase in the army was provided ex-#
plicitlw set forth the conditions in the
philippines as a reason for keeping the
armN up. Every intelligent observer
Knew there5would be trouble 1.-THE Phil
ippines it the treaty was confirmed. The
|EiH for the temporary Increase which
ali,. Bryan apparently seeks To persuade
ais hearers is a permanent increase, Was
INTRODUCED by Senator Cockrell, of Mis-
sohri. a democratic supporter of Mr.
i!iNan, and the bulk of the patriotic
democrats in both houses voted for it,.
Tor at that time the Kansas City plat
form had hot sought To make the dis
horor of the flag a national issue and
the democratic conventions in Colorado
and California We're in their platforms
Ealing for the retention of the Philip
pine islands. The record therefore
shows that this present temporary
army of $1,000 regulars and $4,000 volun-
teers was called for in December be-
tause of the threatened trouble in the
Philippines. Any statesman with the
slightest pretentioll 10 the name could
mot bur ssesthat this trouble was threat
ening and would have been criminally
deralirt in his duty to the nation had
he failed to provide for it. The trouble
Was certain to arise. having in view the
latitude of Aguinaldo, unless he re-
jecied the treaty, and indeed the out
break occurred just before the treaty
vas accepted. When Mr.. Bryan did his
part in working for the acceptance Of
the treaty by the senate he estopped
himself from any right to criticise the
carrying out of the pledges to which he
became in honor bound when. he advo-
Gated that treaty
Now. Il have answered Mr. Bryan's
questions on this part as will gladly
answer any questions he can put, or
meet any issue he can raise. Now, let
lshim show equal frankness and readi-
mess in answering these questions:
l. If elected. Mr.. Bryan. will you pay
1.-THE obligations of the nation in gold or
in silver
.. Will you refuse to accept the cleo
toral votes Of North Carolina because
lob:ained without the consent of the
lgoverned. and will you now at once de-
inounce the action of your party assoc
ciates who helped to nominate you for
DISTINGUISHING by he constitution in
North Carolina the doctrine that one
man is good enough 70 govern another
man without his CONSENT
s. Will you denounce your party as
tsnciatessin congress who voted on June
n last that the national government
SHOULD not be given the power TO con-
Etrol trusts? You say that ali trusts are
bad; Will you denounce as hyppcritical
your party associates who support you
LON that platform. and yet themselves
