BRYAN IN WASHINGTON.

Someone is cruel enough to suggest that
Bryan must be anxious that every part of
the country be permitted to hear his fu-
neral oration.-Sultan Journal.
With all classes of labor employed at
good wages. Bryan's arguments for hard
times under Republican rule are somewhat
out of place.-Wenatchee Washingtonian.
Bryan will find Washington a state of
expansionists. The state needs expansion
to give 1t a market for its products. and
our people will vote that way next fall

The views of the Washington people en-
expansion and the money question and
other things, will probably make Mr.. Bry-
an tired before he spends many days in the
state.-palouse Republican
While Bryan's visit was enjoyed. in a
social way, yet it was a failure in a political
sense and will not give the results antici-
pated by the Democratic advocates of free
silver. anti-expansion or his friends in the
valley.-Walla Walla Union.
Bryan is sure of large audience wher-
ever he goes in this state, but in opposition
to Deep Creek Jones we venture the pre-
dlction that Mckinley will be reelected
with the largest popular majority any presi-
dent ever received-Kent Journal

Now II Is different.-Whatcom Reveile
Mr.. Bryan would lead one to believe that
we are on the verge OF establishing a
monarchy. that the Republican party Is adj
vancing imperialstic ideas by favoring ex-
pansion. He knows better and he insults
the common sense of his hearers when he
so states-Walla Walla Union.
The world looks very bleak and dreary
to Mr. Bryan. 1t is the opinion of all that
In time of universal prosperity no political

the critics are right, Mr., Bryan is talking
too much.-Port Townsend Leader
Col. Bryan devoted the greater part of
his Walla Walla speech to the expansion
question. When he hears rom Washing

fool him a bit.-Whatcom Reveille.

Thursday evening at $50 During the
speech there was no enthusiasm. There
was an occasional clappng of hands on
the grand stand among the state officials,
when funny remark escaped the speaker.
The audience was greatly disappointed in
Bryan.--Columbia Chronicle.
1t is evident from the tenor Of the silver
orators speech throughout. that the Demo-
cratic platform for the campaign ahead, Is
made up of planks calculated to eaten

in to suit.-Walla Walla Union.

president He stands in the wrong place.
The principles to which he holds the peo-
pie will not countenance.- Spokane Cali
Mr.. Bryan loves the presidency. but he
loves money more. He responded to the
wall OF stricken Democracy TO come 10 the
Coast for a heavy consideration. The Dem

erished by the strain. And IL is money alb
