MIR. J. Hllen Jenkins gives his ideas of
Mr.. Bryan:
The platform adopted at Kansas City
in no way represents Democratic princi-
plies. Mr.. Bryan is not a Democrat. He

man or the farmer, as he SO declares him

est enemy they have. Tie election of
Mr.. Bryan would at once mean the shut
ting down on nearly every cotton and
wooden factory, every steel and iron pro-
ducing mill in this country. 1t would
bring about a financial CONFUSION which
would be felt the entire world over. Labor
would at once become an absolute drug,
whereby now there is practical scarcity
of it. Wages would drop to minimum
in fact, there would be no wages

AGAINST IsIiY AN.

Mr.. Randolph Barton, Il life long Demo
GRAFT, who served in the Confederate Army
throug hout the war, and who was chosen
delegate to the Democratic National
Convention at Chicago in 1896 by the
Maryland Democratic State Convention,
gives his reasons for not supporting Bryan:
Before the meeting of the Democratic
Convention in Chicago in 1896 no one
dreamed of Mr.. Bryan as a possible candi-
date. The delegation headed by him
barely secured admission to the conven-
ton. That emotional body was carried
off its feet and out Of its senses by high
ly theatrical speech, and offered to Bryan
a nomination which had been honored by
being conferred upon Cleveland, Tilden,
Hancock, Seymour and long list of dis
tinguished Democrats Mr. Bryan was
then, and ever afterward remained, in
closest sympathy with very violent men,
of whom Altgeld, who, as Governor, had
pardoned and discharged from the peni-
Tertiary the wretches who killed the po-
licemen in Chicago, and Tillman were
types. He Immediately entered upon the
advocacy of a financial measure which, If
it had been adopted, would have stepped
every individual who availed himself of it
in personal disgrace and degradation and
the nation in dishonor. Mr.. Bryan did
not see or pretended not to see, the dis
honesty of what he advocated So much
the worse for him. When the 16 to L
proposition was repudiated by the people.
and when even those who thoughtlessly
Endorsed it in their sober second thought
became satisfied that it was a mistake, it
remained for Mr.. Bryan detiantly, and to
his individual and personal tliscredit as an
honest man, to declare that he believed in
the measure and to threaten the Demo
cratic party at Kansas City with refusal
to accept the nomination unless his special
view of finances and morals should be
made plank in the platform. Between
such a man as private individual and
Mr. Mckinley as a private individual l
think the advantages are altogether in
favor of the latter.

Baltimore is the business CENTRE can
form fair idea of the anti-Bryan senti
ment. This includes the best opinion and
Judgment of many people from all walks
of life in the entire State of Maryland, as
we'll as from Virginia, West Virginia.
Pennsylvania, and of course, many travel
ing men representing all lines of trade
from New York and other large cities.
1.-The consensus of this opinion is that
Mr.. BRYAN is not a Democrat and does not,
in fact, represent any Of the cardinal prin-
ciples and teachings of the Democratic
party, of which | am, and have always
been, a member He seems to represent
only what can best be described as "Bry-
anism,' and that issue, when judged by
his own actions and speech, would appear
to be the most dangerous issue which the
people of this country have been called
upon to meet. His principal desire is to
become President and dictator by taking
any route indicated by his vision Of the
'signboards at the crossroads, standing
ready to head any clan or party, whether
composed of Siiverites, Populists, or
Anarchists, or agitators of any kind

MIR. EDGAR Ii. CANS.

Now, whatever else may be said of the
effect of Bryan's success it is certain that
his election will give the free silver heresy
an enormous prestige, The vote will be
claimed by Bryan as mandate from the
people to immediately establish free sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to L. A President
frantically welded to its establishment
will use all his power to force it upon
Congress- A House of Representatives
will pass a bill. The silver questions will
again come to the fore with Il popular ma
iority behind it. There will be constant
and aggressive agitation in its favor.
Would not this be great evil to the
mind of a Sound Money Democrat
No | do not think that Bryan will re-
ceiye the electoral vote of Maryland. There
are, in my Judgment, too many real
Democrats yet in Maryland to permit
such a calamity to ovcrtake our present
prosperous condition. We do not want
anything like that to intervene to prevent
capital from other States coming here for
the further Development of industries and
of our natural resources. Our people arc

The following is an extract from a
letter from Hon. A. P. German read
at the mass meeting in Baltimore last
Monday night: "The attempt by the
Republicans to make the currency
question paramount will fail. That
question was, four years ago, the logi-
cal product of conditions which no
longer exist. The phenomenal addi-
ton made to the volume of gold in
1S96-an amount equal to if not greater
than all the coin in circulation on JAN
uary LIST of that year-rcmoves the
question from the domain of contro-
versy. This condition, together with
the immense balance of trade in our
favor, has been brought about by nat
ural causes which the ingenuity and
enterprise of our people have utilized.
For the Republican party to claim it
as the fruit of its virtuous and emily ht-
encd craftsmanship is too preposterous
for serious consideration.

PANIC-BREEDERS.

A favorite form of campaigning now
used by the Republicans is to brighten
people into support of their ticket by
persistent threat Of panic and indus.

manufacturing and commercial ent.I-
prises will be ruined, that banks and
trust companies will close their doors

The very monstrosity of the claim,
proves its insincerity and weakness
1t is species of low politics that is
resorted to by desperate men in DIES.

our national government will paralyze
the work of seventy-five millions o.
people engaged in agriculture, manu-

government, and the sooner it is
changed the better. Our boosted pros.
perity must indeed be fictitious, if it
can be suddenly changed by the mere
transfer of the administration from one
party to another. Such a condition
has not existed before, and except in
the imagination Of the panic-breeders
does not exist now. The prosperity

TIL; MINDS OF TIE. PIE >.'Lr,'


Mr. Lloyd / Jack son Jr speaks Of the
real issue:
The sole question to be decided in the
coming Presidential election bs Sound
Money Dem Ocrats who supported the Re
publican nominees in the Presidential cleo
ton of '96, is whether or not the issue of
imperialism is in fact paramount" and
does it So far overshadow the issue of
sound money that the latter is bat collat
eral and incidental to it, If il can be
shown (and it undoubtedly can be) that
the money issue is primary and superior
to all other issues the same arguments
and reasoning of SO would manifestly be
equally applicable to the conditions of
today. Since the money plank of the
platform of the Chicago Convention was
incorporated at length into that If Kansas
City Convention, therefore all Democrats
who supported the gold standard in '96,
should vote for SQUAD money this year"

BRYAN NOT A DEMOCRAT

Ex-United States District Attorney vii
liam L. Marbury, in an interview on the
situation today, said:
1T must be borne in mind that some
time prior to the assembling of the Kan
sas City Convention Mr. Bryan had al
ready been nominated by the Populists
and Free Silver Republicans, and was il
the field as the candidate of those parties
on straight out-free silver, irredeemable
paper-money platform.
when the Kansas City Convention met
it simply Endorsed this Populist Free Sill
yer Republican candidate, and, at his die
tation, with the aid of Prince David OF
Hawaii, supported by Croker of New
York, adopted their platform as we'll
THAT may be all very well for the Pop
ulists, of course, and the Free Silver Re
publicans, whose votes Mr.. Bryan seems
to be so anxious to secure, but where d.
the Democrats come in?

have been furnished with either Demo,

DECLINES TO SERVE DEMO-
GRATIS.
Mr. John M. Nelson Sends Letter of
Refusal to Chairman Vandiver.

Mr.. JOhn vi. N 6lSOn oohdS Letter OF
Refusal to Chairman Vandiver.
Chairman Murray Vandiver, of the
Democratic State Central Committee, is
not meeting with the success in the tinan-
cial district that he doubtless expected in
securing funds and speakers for the Dem
ocratic campaign. The mail today brought
him two letters declining invitations that
he had extended to prominent Gold Dem
ocrats to identify themselves with the
party in the pending campaign.
The letters were from Mr.. John NJ. Mel
son, member of the banking house of
Messrs Hambleton & Co., and one of the
Honest Money Democratic League, and
Mr. Clayton c. Hall, a member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Maryland Trust
Company and actuary of the Maryland
asked to make speeches for the Democratic
nominees, and in reply sent an emphatic
refusal.
Mr. Nelson was asked to contribute to
the campaign fund, and in answer adj
dressed the following letter to Mr.. Vandi-
yer:
I'm reply to your favor of 18th inst. re-
questing contribution to assist in carry
ing on the work of the Democratic cam
paign, l beg to state that any subscription
l may feel justified in making for political
purposes this year will be given to the
Honest Money Democratic League
"My reason for declining your request
is that l consider it would be great mis-
fortune should Mr.. Bryan be elected Presi-
dent of the United States.
Mr.. Bryan represents an element an
tagonistic to the best interests of the
country. He is committed and pledged
to the repeal of the gold standard law and
to the Immediate restoration of the unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G
to 1.
HE is, further, committed to all the in
EQUITIES of the Chicago platform, includ-
ing opposition to the courts granting in
functions to stop riots and bloodshed.
Furthermore, Mr.. Bryan is not Dem
ocrat. He is Populist We must judge
man by the company he keeps"
