Post-mortems upon the Indianapolis

Imperialism died of hamilton; DR..
Bryan's efforts at resuscitation were
not sufficiently vigorous.
Mr.. Watterson said of Mr.. Bryan in
'96: He is a dishonest dodger. He
is a daring adventurer. He is a polit-
ical fakir. He is not of the material
States have eve made a president.
Nor is he of the material Of which any
party has ever before made a candi-
date Oh. yes. Mr.. Watterson, it has
made him a candidate ono before.
The party which will not allow the
constitution to follow the flag through
the Carolinas, through Mississippi and
Texas. has no occasion to distress it's

One has only to read the labor day
speeches of Bryan and Roosevelt to

the nation above the dollar.
Illinois farmers are getting five cents
a pound in gold for their hogs. In fact
they are doing almost as well as Mr..
Bryan did with his a crop.
Perhaps Mr.. Bryan is wise in having

many formalities after November.
The Hon. Adlai f. ~Stevenson's rec

Mr.. Bryan had heard of the silver

Captain William Z. English, of In.
dianopolis, is another democrat who
cannot be deceived by the paramount,
ing process. He has announced his
intention of supporting Mckinley and
Roosevelt.
There is nothing in the constitution
to conflict with the Hon. P. Altgeld's
