BRYAN RIOTS.
His Followers Make Practical DEM
onstrations of His Doctrines.

mocFacSs campaign mas uegenerd ted
into a mere demonstration of riotous
lawlessness. Mr.. Bryan himself set
the example to his followers when he
began about a month ago to deliberate
" misrepresent the fsoss in regag2 Is
the employment OF the gFl3,+-' - J
army. He Informed tho pN;-sss 2 ...e7-
elal addresses that the RsgsI 3 ~ Is
proposed 10 employ largs s:s;F,,st.ss.tz
army for the purpose of intimIaar7ng
ana coerciag the voters and for subju-
gat,ng tie wage earners of the coun-
try, compelling them to obey the
wishes of the rich corporations who
/ employ them and preventing strikes
by the point of the bayonet. In sub
seaucnt speeches he sought to inflame
the poor against the rich by artfu ap-
peals 70 their envy and other bad pas
I sions, and stated that the Republican
party's policy was such as to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer and
that the Republican party cared only
for the rich people
Excited hy such talk as this from
/ Mr.. Bryan and some of the other lead
\ ers close TO him in the management Of
4 the Democratic campaign the Demo-
cratic rank and file have been guilty of
/ various violent and lawless actions,
and the tendency in that direction on
! their part is increasing at an alarming
/ rate
\ At Victor Colo, a short time ago, Gov
4 ernor Roosevelt and his company Of
Republican speakers were assaulted by
4 Q gaug of Democratic miners with
clubs ana other weapons. Governor
Roosevelt aHd several others were
struck and considerably injured.

In New York city Republican meet.
ings have frequently been interrupted
by similar assaults. and Mr.. Odell, the
Republican candidate for governor of
New York, while listening to a sere-
made on the balcony of his hotel, was
publicly insulted by the Democrats,
who turned their dazzling searchlight
and Bryan notices full upon him.
Commenting on these proceedings,
Senator Scott of West Virginia said re-
Gently: "The Bryanite Democracy has
adopted this policy of disorder and
lawless violence because in It remains
their only chance. Their arguments
have long since been riddled through
and through, and their only remaining
resource is literally to raise the devil
of riot and mob law in the community,
hoping by that means to terrorize the
peaceable and respectable citizens ana
IN this way 70 carry New York city and
state and Chicago and Illinois. This

"When certain Of our professional
friends tell US that Bryan could do no
harm, we are reminded OF the old
story of the man who had to insist that
he actually was arrested his profess
sional adviser insisting that he could
not be. But business men who recall
the effect Of the financial discussion
and prevalence of doubt as TO the sta
bilty Of our standard of value during
the years preceding the election of
1896 are not bothering their heads over
the possibilities or impossibilities of
the future under Bryan. 1t is quite
enough for them to know now that the
election of Mr.. Bryan would be the
signal for a renewal Of doubt and dis
cussion and questionings as to the sta
bility Of tho gold standard.
"The business world pays due re
