Bryan looks at the matter is that a

yer face Is masked behind the cry OF
trusts! trusts! trusts! This leads up
to the false accusation made against
Senator N. B. Scott, Of this state. which
the Demo-P opulist press are exploiting
in great glee. Tho charge is that at q
dinner given In honor Of Governor
Roosevelt. last Friday, Senator Scott
openly declared himself in favor OF
trusts. In answer to an inquiry Of the
editor Of this paper Senator Scott tele-
graphed yesterday as follows:
Gail statements that I, ut Roose-
-velt's dinner, or ut any place, or at
any time, ever said was in favor of
trusts, or said one word derogatory
Of the colored men, is absolutely and
unqualiaedly false"
This, we believe. is about as emphatic
as 1t can be made. The other libel that
he spoke dlsparagingly Of the colored
race is too utterly silly to be given
serious attention

quote what q Democrat. a man Of ma
