ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
in the meetings and arguments of his po-
litical opponents; conscious Of tile worth
OF his own beliefs, he was not afraid to
compare them with those of his adver.
saries, and was at all times prepared for
controversies and challenges. In 1896
the republican leaders for the first time
not only ceased challenging their oppo-
nents, but refused to accept challenge
from them when offered. Bryan chal-
lenged Mckinley TO the stump, that in
stitution peculiarly American which all
Americans have delighted in long before
the days Of Lincoln and Douglas. In
1896 Mckinley would not bulge from his
doorstep, and the new and surprising in
novaton was introduced OF hauling the
people to Mckinley, as vassals making a
pilgrimage to their sovereign. Instead Of
attacking argument, as the oid-fashioned
republican was wont to do, they now at
tack men. Bryan's principal fault in
1896 was that he was boy orator. Be-
fore 1900, without giving him time to grow
to manhood, they have buried him in the
cold, cold ground perhaps 100000 times.
Bryan's mouth has been the object OF
scverest censure, and right we'll they fear
it, too. Fearing it they also hate it.
IN 1896 the republicans employed whole
sale intimidation and bribery. In 1898

An inventory OF republication in 1900
hows that the party principles have
been reversed, that those composing the
party once OF men, are now slaves, knaves
or Ignorant, and that the methods Of
winning elections have changed from ar
guments to willy practice, in which lead
ng parts are taken by intimidation
bribery and ridicule.
The party of Lincoln is in the grave
with Lincoln. Register Democrat.
