THE DEMOCRATS in one respect are
much better of than they were In 1890.
They are stronger 10 the press. they
did not have 10 1896 single paper In
the great city of Chicago. The papers
there systematically misrepresented
and lied about the democratic national
com ittee. 1t was impossible to get
one OF them to tell the truth, even
about small matters. Now the demo-
Gratis have two strong papers 10 Chlca'
90, the Chronicle and the Americas
both very able and the last newspaper
having an enormous circulation. This
has forced some of the republican
papers to modified decency, or, to put
it more accurately, to reduce their
amount OF wiliul and deliberate false
hood. In Philadelphia the democrats
did not have a friend in the press
Now they have the Philadelphia Times
a very able and Influential journal, edit
ed by Col. Mcclure. In Baltimore IN
1896 no paper supported the democfs'ic
ticket. Now the Baltimore sun, "i'n
its erea, circulation and magnificent
g iitorial ability, is exerting Its power
for Mr.. Bryan. In Louisville the old
democratic daily, the Louisville Courier
Journal, which opposed Bryan In 1880
is now supporting the whole demo
cratic ticket. In New York the Jour
nal. which supported Bryan in 1896 Ii
supporting him now, but with iaI
greater power by reason OF its greatly
augmented circulation. The New York
World, another paper OF enormous cir
culation, which was against us in 1896
is now ably supporting Bryan's election
These are only some of the great jour
nails that have felt il their duty Il
stand by the party which alone can o'
relied on to defend the republic sgsins
the reasonable deslgns of the imper
