The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1900-05-07
Declared for Bryan.

The Democratic suggestion meetings
on Saturday declared emphatlcally Coz
that demagogic humbug, William j.
Bryan. They could not very well do
otherwise for the reason that the false
prophet Of 1895 has the party by the
throat. The action is only significant
as showing that the present Democracy
holds to the astounding principles that
were enunclated in the Chicago plas-
form, and that those decent and self
respecting members OF the party who
broke away from the false gold brick
Democracy four years ago can have no
hope of a return to the prime Jefferson
ian quality OF Democracy that obtained
before Bryan, Altgeld and AguinaIdo
become the leading spirits of the or
ganlzatIon. 1t is a pitfalls spectacle.
To show the character Of the man
and his sympathles that the Ohio coun-
ty Democrats endorsed on Saturday it
is only necessary to quote from let
ter addressed from Manila, February
Is, to the Journal de Temps, Paris, as
follows:
1T is know that Agulnaldo, believing
his enemies satisfied with their success
during the dry season. october, Novem-.
her and December, made overtures of
peace, which were not only haughtlly
repulsed, but also with threats to treat
as rebels the Tagal soldiers who might
fall into their hands.
"Aguinaldo in the north pretended to
dlsband his partIsans, while secretly
giving them the order to come and
assemble in the south around Manila.
where their presence was soon mani
tested by the death of General Lawton
and some battles. They are stu there.
Such Is for the year Just ended the
showing for the Americans in the Phil
InpInos. 1t is not brilliant II we add tin
Importation of the pest and the dltF-
cult solution of the religious questions.
However 1t may b. the struggle be-
tween the Fllipinos and the Yankees
win begin again with the return Of the
great heat and rain, and ruin and vio-
lent death will not fail to make u vas:
cemetery of this magnificent archlpel-
ago.
1T is in the triumph of the Demo-
Gratis of the United states In the APP
preaching presidential election where
the Fillplnos place all their hopes to-
day. II Bryan is elected President Of
the United States peace will be the
Immediate consequence of his cleo
tIun."
IAN American Abroad" commenting
on this publication in the French jour
nal named above. expresses himself in
the following burning words:
every human being who wishes 70
see our soldiers defeated Is opposed to
Mckinley and in favor of AguInaIdo
and Bryan. 1t Is singular indeed what
sympathy the Democratic party In
spires among tho enemies OF o"r coun-
try. No such sentiment exists in regard
to other countries. The enemies. Of
France, Germany, England, Russia or
italy are hostile to the entire people of
those countries. But the enemies Of th4
United States, OF our brave soldiers and
generals, who offer their lives for their
country, look upon Democratic leaders
as their niles.
1.-THE only hope the Filipino Insur-
gents have Is Bryan. The only hope
the American soldiers have is McHin-
10y. 1t is the rebel flag, Agulnaldo and
Bryan on one side: and the brave
United States and Mckinley, the Stars
and Stripes on the other. The line is
very distinctly drawn. American vot-
ars viii choose betwecn these two. This
is only sample Of what appears fire.

FRUITS. THE FRUITS OF THE
