Brya. sad Ds.esr~sy.
do you think Mr.. Bryan really rep
resents the Democracy Of the coun-
tryf"
well. he undoubtedly represents
what remains OF the pro-siavery Demo-
Gratis and the Populised Democracy.
which he has created. l am very
busy man. most OF the time very much
overworked. and had no time TO ex-
anime carefully the financial question,
In 1896. I supposed at that time. in
company with multitudes Of Repubsi-
cans, as well a. Democrats. that the
platform OF 1895 represented what
would have been best for the country.
You will remember that the Republi-
can Oklahoma platform Of that year
declared for the free coinage Of allysr.
and most OF the Oklahoma RsTu5lt-
cans strenuously advocated that plat
form. but when prosperity forthwith
began to come Immediately upon the
defeat Of Mr.. Bryan. and his prophsc.es
were all refuted and prosperity came.
Investigated the subject more closely.
and I concluded that the old leaders
Of the Democratic party were right.
and that the proposition OF 10 10 !. ~
snnounced By Mr.. Bryan. was only =
disturhing element In the business OF
the country.
Il made up my mind that the In
dusnces which could throw all Of those
men overheard and take for leaders in
their places the small Try that nov
surround Bryan. and Mr.. Bryan did
not come out of Tsssy to which I
owed any allegiance whatever. and
that, having misied me In the cam
paign Of 1895. these men should not
misiesd me again: nor do ! believe
that the people Of this country. Who
unanimity that those people misied
them on the money question In lsSs.
would think them any moro likely TO
b right nov than they we're thsn. o.
any b4ttsr qualified for wise aad pru-
dent ieaderrhip now than they vsre
then. The rank and ale Of great
party, such ~ the Democratic party
was, have the right to demand Of thoss
Who seek prominence and secure eon-
troll Of the influences Of tho party that
they shall lead them right. and know
that thsss mAnxgerH have inhaled the
Democratic party on the money Ques-
tion. a. we'll - on the question OF the
extension Of the country By acquiring
possessions. from the traditional and
established policy OF the Historical

What do you think Of the spirit OF
Mr.. Bryan's speech OF aoceptsnce."
IF Mr.. Bryan's statements are &C
ceptsd. he and his people are animated
only BY Christian love snd the spirit
Of loving their neighbour better than
