THERE ARE OTHERS.

The republican papers are giving space
and display type to those whom they
claim have changed from BRYAN to Nc
Kinley, but in almost every instance
something tangible in the way OF politi-
cal preferment, or fat government con-
tracts is the basis for the change Of heart
or rather the swapping OF principle for
sordid interests. There are others, how
ever, who are not OF this stripe but who
have changed from Mckinley to Bryan.
The list is too long for publication but the
citing of few of the names will indicate
the character of those who realize that
the present policy OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
sion, even If they please to term it such
will lead to final disintegration and ruin.
