The Difference.

~ S''.S' S'S'
Des Moines Leader: At the Lincoln
ratification meetings Mr.. Bryan deliv.
cred two speeches, the first of the 1900
campaign SERIES The feature of the
speeches which challenges attention is
that which the speaker does not say.
There is entire failure to mention 16
to /. Not a whisper concerning the
reform of reforms, without which NO
progress in any direction can be made.
The stirring eXhortation in behalf of
free coinage which marked every 1896
speech is conspicuous by absence. I'm
perialism and that the principles of
the republic are in danger is the bur-
den of both addresses.
Iowa readers will recall the speech
made by Mr.. Bryan at Ottumwa DUR
ing the closing days of the 1896 cam
paign. 1t was his last long one. In
this speech Mr.. Bryan said: "My
hand has been used until 1t is sore, but
it can handle pen to sign a free coin
age bill, if am elected" AS soon as
the result of the election was definitely
known Mr.. Bryan issued an address,
the closing sentences of which were
as follows: "The year 1900 is not far
away. g Before that year ar
rives the evil effects of a gold standard
will be even more evident than they
are now, and the people, then ready
to demand an American financial pol
icy for the American people, will join
with us in the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present legal ra-
ito of 16 to 1. without waiting for the
aid or consent of any other nation"
Early in 1897 Mr.. Bryan wrote a book
and named it 1.-THE First Battle" He
announced that the second battle for
the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1
would be fought in 1900.
Now Mr.. Bryan delivers his first two
speeches of the campaign without a
suggestion of silver. He does not say
he is beginning second battle for the
1896 cause. Not a word about his
hand being strong enough to sign a
free coinage bill. Not an intimation
to his fellow citizens that they join
with him in effecting "the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to l. without wait
ing for the aid or consent of any other
nation" The avoidance Of any refer
ence to the old issue, which Mr.. Bryan
over and over again pledged himself
to revive, must be from design. What
would be thought OF an attorney, ap.

Gears Successor.

Oskaloosa Herald: The Iowa dele
cation in congress contains five old
soldiers; -Thomas Hedge of the First
district who served as a private in
Company e and as second lieutenant
in Company G of the 100 New York;
d. B. Henderson of the Third dis
trict who served as private and first
lieutenant in Company G of the
Twelfth Iowa. and afterwards as col
onel of the 46th Iowa regiment j ohm
F. Lacey of the Sixth district who en-
listed in Company H of the Third Iowa
and afterwards served as private in
Co. d of the 33d, and as sergeant ma
Jor and lieutenant in Co. G of that reg
iment, was promoted to assistant adj
jhtant, general on the staff of Brig.
Gen. s. A. Rice, and after that officer
was killed in battle was assigned to
the staff of Major General Frederick
Steele;- John A. T. Hull Of the sew
enth district who was first lieutenant
and captain of the 23d Iowa was wound
ed at Black River and resigned on ac-
count of wounds;--W. P. Hepburn Of
the Eighth district, who served in the
End Iowa Cavalry as captain, major
and lieutenant colonel.
From among these men, should be
named the successor of Senator John
H. Gear. Iowa has never sent an old
soldier to the U. s. Senate, and the
Gear succession will be the last for
Iowa to honor in this way one OF. the
brave boys of '61-5 and it will be the
last time the old soldier will ask such
recognition.
For years there has been strong
feeling turnout the state that one of
Iowa's senators should bea veteran of
the civil war, but each time a senator
was to be named politicanl compllca-
tons and various affairs of state
pushed the claims and dues of the vet
eran to one side. Now no such con-
tingency exists. The Iowa delegation
is the strongest in congress, and the
veterans are the strong men of that
delegation, and it is due to them and
due to the whole people of Iowa that
one of their number be honcred at this
time; the last time such honor can be
bestowed.

MIR. Bryan has frequently made a
claim that he received an unusually
large popular vote in 1896. Because of
the oft repeated assertions of this char.
acter, many people have been deceived
into believing that Mr.. Bryan proved
an exceptionally strong candidate and
would have been president il the pop
ular vote instead of the electoral vote
had determined the result. TO cor.
rect an impression so at variance with
the facts i, is only necessary to refer
to the history of presidential elections.
MIR. +. ii. Clifford has compiled the
presidential vote, from the first cam
paign of Jackson,in 1894 to the election
of 1856. 1t will be IA surprise to many
an ardent Bryanarchist to know that
the representative of the sacred ratio
received the smallest per cent of the
popular vote of any democratic nomi.

In answer to a question as to the de.
lection in the silver republican ranks
in Colorado, Senator Wolcott at the
Philadelphia convention last week
said: at is widespread. Thousands
OF these men are now in the same pO.
sition as that of the delegates Large
from the state of Colorado. They re.
alize the futility of the schemes pro
posed by Mr.. Bryan, and they are
opposed to the principles of his plat.
form in all other particulars as well.
They realize there is little or no
chance to secure the free coinage of
silver through the democratic party
eve if they desired that should be
brought about. Many of them are no
longer for the free coinage of silver by
this country alone. They have recon
sidered their position. They have
seen the country grow prosperous, and
all the gloomy predictions made by the
democrats disproved under "a republi.
can administration They have had it

which preceded the election of 1896
were not due to the lack of free coin.

The party of Lincoln and Grant now
starts ont on as triumphant a canvass
rs it ever made under those leaders.
The platform which was framed in
Philadelphia last week will receive the
hearty assent Of all elements of the
party. The ticket which was nomi.
mated will get a big majority of the
votes of the country. The republican
party has the prestige of many vic.
tories. Better than that, moreover, it
has a policy which appeals TO the favor
Of nearly all right minded Americans.
