DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.
Prediction of John NJ. Palmer, an Old
Democratic WarhOrse of
Illinois.


"Mr. Bryan is not an inspired man.
Nor has he president powers. Indi-
vidually he is clean, and / credit him
with being honest in his opinions, but
at the same time l cannot indorse
them. Populism has grown wonder
fully strong and wonderfully danger
Gus.
you predict his defeat?"
"Assuredly. The cry of Imperialism
will win him no votes to amount to
anything. It's false alarm. This
country is not nor are Mr.. Mckinley
and his followers believers in imperial
ism. Cuba win be under self-govern-
ment in little while, and the Fill
pinos will be governed as best the adj
ministration can.
pray, what would Mr.. Bryan have
had this country do with the islands?
We got them, and we will hold them
as they stand until some better scheme
presents itself for controlling them.
I think myself that the American gov
eminent would be better off without
theislands, but the administration has
met all the demands that have arisen
there manfully and honestly.
"Mr. Mckinley has the confidence of
the business interests of the country.
He is not an unsafe leader. l differ
with him on many material questions
concerning the welfare of the whole
people, but as between him and Bryan
there is but one course.
IF Mr.. Bryan were president and
controlled the legislative branches,
this country would be thrown in a
panic which would require months to
check and years to heal. False proph-
cts and leaders spring up and
live for time, and they die. Mean
time the true principles of self-govern-
ment live.
'My prediction is that after Mr..
Bryan has been defeated for the sec
ond time the people will renounce
him. No man and no set of principles
can live after having been twice de-
feated at the polls. Perhaps it is well
that Mr.. Bryan was renominated. His
party cannot win, aud his defeat will
forever settle him.
sShould he be successful he would
convert democracy into populism, and
I can apprehend no more serious ma
tional calamity than populist prin-
ciples of political economy be even
given a trial. They are unsuited for
the times and unsuited and unsafe for
a Successful government. John NJ.
Palmer.
