An UNNECESSART NEMESIS.

Wherever the Democratic candidate has gone
for many weeks he has been pursued and
haunted by Question. 1t has been pro
pounded to him by telegraph. by letter by
public challenge 1t has been ever at his side,
tireless. insistent. 1t has watched beside him
while he slept, to stare him in the face when
he awakened. 1t has risen between his eyes
and the faces of his listeners It has painted
itself on the sky above him by day and burned
itself there by night-"If you were President
would you meet the obligations of the Gov
''ernment in silver or in gold?"
AS the candidate came Eastward the CUES
ton followed him like Nemesis 1t nudGed
his elbow at the stopping places and button
holed him on the platforms before he began to
speak. 1t sat beside him in the dining car and.
patiently waiting. counted the mouthfuls as he
ate-'If you were President would you meet
''the obligations of the Government in silver
cor in goldT A thing like this is wearing
upon the nerves. At first the candidate was
genial with the Question. though he refused to
answer it. When It became his travelling com
panion for while he bowed to 1t in the morn
ings, though coldly. Then came the period
when he tried TO avoid 1t. to ignore It's pres
ence. If his eyes fell upon It for a moment
he glanced hastily away, pretending not to
see. When he could do he turned his back
upon IT. Then the Question began to irritate
him and he tried TO drive It away with harsh
words. But he did not answer the Question,
and still 1t remained. It's gaunt face turned
toward him, Its wide eyes fixed upon him
eff you were President would you meet the
obligations of the Government in silver or
"in gold?"
All the while on the tip of the candidates
tongue was the answer. He knew that with
a word he might smite the Question in the
face. How. as the days Of this unwelcome
companionship heightened into weeks he must
have longed TO turn upon the Thing and shrek
out, ''In silver-foolr' Yet he did not do it.
The answer was on the tip Of his tongue hut
he never let 1t pass his lips Why? Because
he did not dare.
Yet, however II may have been in the begin
ming there is no reason now why Colonel Bryan
should refuse to answer. Dread often fingers
after the cause of it is gone. 1t is so in this
case. He can get rid of his Nemesis as soon
he cares to without losing a vote. Every
body understands now that If Bryan were Pres
ident he would overthrow the gold standard
by such means and methods as were quickest
and nearest To pay the Governments coin
obligations in silver would be thus quick and
near. No one who does not want this to be
done will vote for Bryan. Let him answer
the Question when he will. 1t has ceased to
matter
New-York tribune., 1900-10-18
"GREAT Is TAMMANY"

Mr. Bryan's ability as a maker of epgrams
was never more perfectly displayed than when
in opening his fourth speech on Tuesday night
he expressed his thanks for the entertainment
and patronage which Mr.. Croker had given him
with the phrase, Great is Tammany, and
Croker is its prophet Great, indeed, is Tam
many. and greater yet will ii become If Mr..
Bryan is elected President. He has already
placed upon it the stamp Of his approval and
accepted it's prophet his guide, philosopher
and friend in this which he calls the enemy's
country. So far as NewYork is concerned he
has made himself the Tammany candidate,
more completely so than any Democratic aspir-
ant for the Presidency ever did before. Demo
cratic candidates for Governor in this State
have thought it necessary to disavow their con-
necton with Tammany and their acceptance of
Croker a political prophet Even Mr. Stanch-
field Croker's own nominee, on Tuesday even
ing took occasion 70 proclaim that the govern
ment would not be carried on from Fourteenth
81. if he should be placed in the Governors
chair. Mr.. Bryan however, takes pains to
place himself under the tutelage of Croker and
identify himself with the ideas and aspirations
Of Tammany Hall. To a previously unheard of
degree is Tammany the recognized State organi-
zation which in the event Of Democratic sue
cess will have all the aid of Federal patronage
10 cement more firmly its hold on the metropo-
lis and will also have its corresponding weight
in the councils of the Nation.
Great is Tanmany. and Croker is its
prophet Yes. indeed II is great in black
mailing, great in power of corruption. The
whole world knows il as an organized band of
iniquity and most men. even including such
Democratic politicians as are not themselves
part OF the plundering circle, avoid being known
rs special friends of Tammany Mr.. Cleveland
was first nominated for the Presidency by men
who said I'VE love him for the enemies he has
made" But so far has the Democracy lost its
character that Mr.. Bryan comes to New-York TO
boast Of the friends he has made in Tammanv.
His delight in the association with Croker. his
New-York tribune., 1900-10-18

panegyric of Tammany and his glorification OF
its prophet clearly show that the prophet would
not be without honor in the White House If Mr..
Bryan should establish himself there as hired
man" The hired man" would not forget those
who worked TO get him his lob" and to nobody
would he owe more of gratitude to be paid in
political plunder than TO the great leader and
prophet Of Tammany Hail.
NEWCOMERS have known Croker as both
prophet and prime minister for many years.
Do they wish his power here to be strengthened
from Washington and his power here extended
to Washington? Do they want for President Of
the United States a man who finds in the noto-
rious record OF Tammany nothing which pre-
vents him from eulogizing in the name of honest
government this historic synonyme for corrup-
ton, and in the name of disinterested friendship
for the poor from accepting as a prophet and
mentor the man whose activities in politics, as
avowed by himself. are actuated by the single
motive of working for his own pocket all the
time? Mr.. Bryan is Crokers candidate. and
he feels proud Of the patronage. That is his
measure of himself.
