AWAITS SPEECH OF ACCEP.
TANCE. es.ss

- go ~
The beech ofWm. ]. Bryan, e
Indianapolis, Ind, on "Wednesday
of last week, was one Of the hnes'
papers over written for a similar oc'
casion, The Republican managers
have been saying that Bryan could |
not make imperialism the leading
question of the campaign; but now
since the delivery of the mastery
address that has attracted the adj
miratlon of the American people,
it appears that Bryan has sset the
paee'' for President Mckinley and
his leaders, and that they can no
longer dodge the issue. The para
mount issue, then, in the campaign
will be the question of imperialism.
! One of the encouraging results, so
/ far, of Mr.. Bryan's speeca is the
| favorable criticism of the independ-
ept press of the country-egen pa
pers that are opposed to his election.
These independent papers take the
position that Mckinley can nc
longer dodge the issue; that Bryan''
presentation of the Philippine ques
ton is the most mastery indict
!. ment of Imperialism that has ye
been produced, not excepting tn
speeches and articles of Senate
Hoar, Carl Schurz, and ex-Gov
Boutwell,. That be can no longe
dodge behind the currency question
but must come out and define hi
If policy, if such he has.
"a Mr.. Bryan's speech is before tn
y American people to stay. AS tn
e. New York Post says, it ''cannot ;
&c whistled down the wind by tn
ig Republican newspapers and STUN
= speakers The Washington Pos
3 although opposed to Bryan, says h
u speech is the abfest, most iogica
n. and thoughtful, as we'll as the mo
Mt adroit and plausible, presentation
CD the question of imperialism whIt
Ie' has yet been submitted to Il
o. American people. . ;,
Ter The fight is on, and the Repub
va can party will have to conJur up
wits to answer the unanswefaD
arguments of the able Nebraska
So which have taken fast hold on 7
minds of the American people.
