Gold Democrats Organ EuIogizes
Bryan.

New Haven, Conn, August 16.-Wiiliam
]. Bryan was eulogized tonight by the
New Haven Register. the organ of the
gold democrats of the State, which has
heretofore been severe in its denunciation
Of the Nebraska statesman. In discussing
his recent speech of acceptance the Regis
Ter says:
1T is a new Bryan, new to the arena of
public discussion, who wrote that speech,
and simple candor compels the statement,
without in any way compromising the
maker Of 1t, that II surpasses in cleverness
and enlightenment, any public address that
has been made from the standpoint OF i'm
per!alism. 1t is a much wiser and more
sane presentation than those made by
Sohurz, Hoar or Boutwell,.
1T not only presents with masculine
force the points OF opposition to the presi-
dents alleged policy but it offers an eG-
plicit programme in event of victory. He
deserves credit for removing from the is
sue Of anti-imperialism the preposterous
and ridiculous characteristics with which
the emotonalists of Boston invested II.
and making it tangible and ineligible
demand in government He has raised the
level OF the discussion aud presented
clearly the merits of the controversy be-
tween colonial!sm and territorialism.

TO controversy. are of very little use as
indicating even the drift of popular senti-

But the Brooklyn Eagle has just secured
some information that Is worth consider
ing as development of the pending cam
paign that may have Wonderful effect IN
determining results.
1t is an Important matter to ascertain
where what We call the German vote
Is likely to go this fall. This element OF
our citizenship holds the balance OF power
in several Of the large States and it is
more than probable that those candidates
will be elected in November who receive
the majority OF the German vote. Both
sides are claiming II, The Brooklyn
Eagle is certainly not biased In Mr.. Bry-
ans favor and any figures which 1t may

much confidence
That paper sent series Of questions
to The editors OF representative German
papers in the doubtful States IN regard
to preferences for candidates and whether
German voters regarded the money ques
ION or Imperialism as the vital issue.
Twenty-four replies were received from
editors OF newspapers whose combined
circulation, according to the newspaper
directories, is 325. 900 daily. OF the c,
fourteen expressed the belief that Bryan
would receive the majority OF German
American votes, Ave thought Mckinley
would receive a majority. and five were

peralism TO be the paramount issue, and
four were non-commltal.
This Is an exceedingly encouraging
showing for the democracy and Is in Line
with the claims OF the democratic leaders
and democratic press. 1t Is also in az
cord with our Idea OF what this large and
intelligent class OF citizens would natur-
ally do when confronted in their new

the city of New York will give Bryan

OF $4,000 or 30 900 which, with the defec-

his recent indiscriminate and baseless vi
