for what it is worth.
After seeing Mr.. Walsh l thought a
statement from Cato Sells, the most
prominent Iowa democrat today, would
also be of interest, and l found the
vinton politician in his parlor. After
stating what l wanted Mr.. Sells die
tated the following:
There seems to be a universal
growth of democratic interest and en-
thusiasm, far beyond expectations. In
fact, there seems to be a developing
condition which, if it shall continue,
as things now seem to indicate, can
hardy result otherwise than in demo-
cratic victory. The Kansas City plat
form is being universally accepted as
an honest, sincere and patriotic ex-
preston of democratic principles,
which are not only satisfactory to
democrats generally, but seem to have
enlisted that large body of independ-
ent voters who look outside of party
lines for platform and candidates most
nearly in harmony with their ideas of
the best service to their country.
Beyond question Mr.. Bryan is in
finitely stronger in 1900 than he was
in 1896, largely because of the fact
that he is better understood and ap-
preciated by those who are seeking
standpoint of American citizenship.
His recent speech of acceptance will
undoubtedly rank in history as one of
the greatest public utterances of any
American statesman, and in my opin-
ion it will be largely instrumental in
his election" e. P. Adler.
