The following letter was sent by the
Press Committee of New York to Mr..
Bryan and will explain itself:
Col. VIM. J. BRYAN, Lincoln, Neb.
Dear Sir: Large delegations of wo-
men visited the Republican Conven-
ton recently held in Philadelphia, and
sought in vain to secure some recOgni-
ton in the platform for the demands of
women for better conditions. You
have seen the plank Of empty compli-
ment which was all that was accorded
to them. Will the Democratic Con-
ventlon do any better? / believe that
you are man of broad views, and
willing to extend the boon of liberty to
all classes of the people. i enclose to
you the letter / addressed to the
Republican Convention, and the reso-
luton we asked for, earnestly appeal
ing to you to take high stand on the
great question of equal legal and poll
teal privileges for The women citizens
of the land. Hoping to see man
president who will be the guardian of
the interests of all the people, women
as we'll as men, ana, etc. -ss4l-.,-.:-.s
To this letter, after "a long delay. 1
received an answer, which,, after the
name and address, ran as follows:
MY DEAR MADAM: Your letter to
Mr.. Bryan was received on the eve of
the National Convention, when his
time was occupied with so many
matters pressing upon him for atten-
ton that a reply at that time was i'm
possible. He directs me to thank you
for the suggestion contained in your
letter, and for the interest which
prompted you to write him.
Very truly yours,
CHAs. w. BRYAN, Sec.
1t will be seen that even the small
boon of an autograph was denied to
me. Certainly nothing can be more
absolutely non-committal than this
note. There is little to be hoped from
man whose views on the great
question of woman's emancipation are
so absolutely colorless. 1880 6.

inent physicians in the state. The two
men room in separate apartments in

you seemed to think them, Billy, when
you tried to fill them up on silver fizz.
And I'll tell you, Billy Bryan, that /

our party principles are trash; foryou've
put in every hour since Mckinley was
in power filling up your pockets with
