Nor can we "repudiate the prin-

While "the democratic party dis

enforcing it in practice in quarter
of the states of the union.
Very true, but in what states where
Mr.. Bryan's party has power to pre-
vent it do governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed?o When and where did it
try to practice this precept?
Then Mr.. Bryan's party is an
organized fraud, for its supremacy
in many states has been obtained by
doing Tin crowds what they would
not dare to do as individuals. It's

force.

rights" of hundreds of thousands of
American citizens.
True: the Creator never "de-
MED to any people the capacity of
self-government," but despots and
the southern democrats always have.
While Mr.. Bryan was saying this
his party was using fraud, force and
legislation to deprive whole race of
their political rights, and establishing
"the reign of the despot," in this
country.
