the highest degree to gold Democrats.
It IS extremely offensive to nc and ]
cannot support Mr. Bryan with his alb.
surd and fanatical reiteration OF Is to
and his revolutionary mou,hinss
against Imperialism myself. but Doubt
very much whether II Is any worse than
'moooeracy' which is what Bryan
threatens US with. Let him be elected
and We will see on an even greater
scale. and In all parts Of the country,
the scenes that have eeen enacted in
st. Louis. His triumph would open the
foodsates TO al the latent lawlessuess
principles VIII not do, and no one can
possibly be deceived by his cry of anti
imperialism, Anti-tmpeslallsm with
the other things that Bryan would give
Us would be thousand times worse
than imperialism. Bryan We must no:
and VIII not have.
