Mr.. Bryan suppressed every article in his
plainly written commission save the one
article which charges him to haul down, If
he can. our flag in the Philippines: and
ignoring, but not repudiating, all the de-
structive purposes which are in his partys
platform and al the bottom of his own per-
sonal heart, he ratified off a long disser-
tation on imperialism
Evening star., 1900-08-09
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The really significant feature Of the
speech is the omission of any reference TO
free silver, the one subject which Mr.. Bryan
hitherto has never been able to avoid dis
cussing. Apparently Mr.. Bryan has finally
agreed to sacrifice his convictions to politi-
cal eXpediency. 1t is a sacrifice which will
cost him many of his admirers and which
will avail nothing in the end. In this case
silence is a treason which will ALLEVIATE
many and propitate none.
Evening star., 1900-08-09

From the New 1ofk frese
Neither the dullness nor the staleness nor
yet the feebleness of Mr.. Bryan's speech
of acceptance should hide from the weary
voter In the dog days the serious menace
to the country's interests which the per-
oration contains. The effort is before all
else sophomore. 1t lacks the note of per-
sonal conviction. But 1t is the program
nevertheless, of potential administration
Of the government of the United States
and 1t promises an extra session of Con-
gress. In this it pledges an immediate
start at the undoing of the work of an
actual administration of the government

OF course, the candidate pledges himself
to the call of such session merely for the
purpose of the evacuation of the Philip
pines. But he knows that had he the con-
stituuonal right he would no more dare to
exclude the passage of a free-silver act
