| Popuiism Is unsafe and III. Bryan Is

government sir. Bryan 5 strength nas
grown greater than We expected. he
has become somewhat dictatorial, as
was shown in the Kansas City CONVEX
vention.
Mr.. Bryan is not an inspired man.
Nor has he president powers indi-
vidually he is clean, and ! credit d; N
with being honest in his opinions; out
at the same time cannot indorse them
Populism has grown wonderfully
strAg and wonderfully daAseDuA'
You predict his defeat?'
'Assuredly. The cry of Imperialism
will win him no votes TO amount 10
anything. It's false alarm. This
country is not, nor are Mr.. Mckinley
and his followers, believers in imperial
ism. Cuba Will be under self govern
ment in a little while, and the Fill
pinos will be governed as best the ad-
ministration can. Mr.. Mckinley has
the confidence of the best interests OF
the country. He is not an unsafe lead
er. l differ with him on many material
questions concerning the welfare OF the
whole people, between him and
Bryan there is but one course.
p If Mr.. Bryan were president and
controlled the legislative branches OF
this country it would be thrown into
panic which would require months 10
check and years to heal. False proph-
cts and leaders spring up and live for a.
time and they die. Meantime the true
principles OF self government live. My
prediction is that after Mr.. Bryan has
been defeated for the second time the
people will renounce him. No man and
no set Of principles can live after hav
ing been twice defeated at the polls.
Perhaps 1t is well that Mr.. Bryan was
renominated. His party cannot win
and his defeat will forever settle him.
do you think Mr.. Mckinley is
stronger this year than in 1882"
Il do not, but he is still strong
enough to overcome ali opposition. He
has done the best he could. He has
been safe leader on most Of the vital
issues that have arisen during his ad-
ministration. He is not Eighty"
