BRYAN's RESPONSIBILITY +.

The Davenport Democrat is as hos
tile to "Bryanism, as many of ne re-
publican journals. In late issue it
exposed one of his fallacies in the tot
lowing criticism:

cognizance of the identity of the
writer. As a matter of fact it Mas a
collaboration. the product of severai
men and not of single man. The au-
sthorship is an incident as utterly triv-
q ai and nconsequential as the name
and nationality of the man who made
thu paper on which il was written or
the page who Allied the inkstand. The
only men VINO incurred any sort of re-
sponsibility in connection with the
treaty were the men who made it the
law OF the conquered land by securing
its ratification. Bryan did this. he is
properly to be charged with all the re-
sponsibility that may lie in the procur-
ing of those votes. A forger might just
as we'll plead that he did not make the
pen that he used in his crime, but only
used it: or a murderer might with equal
show of reason urge that he did not
make the knife he drove into his vic

This Is the sort of stuff the exultine

actly as good logic as he has ever used
