MANY GEORGTANS
 HEAR MIR. BRYAN Says GroSvenor's Remarks Con- cerning Him Were Unfair. HE FAVORED RATIFICATION Wanted United States to Announce a Policy in the Philippines-The
 Natives Should Have Same
 Government as Cubans
HE FAVORED RATIFICATION

Atlanta, Ga, February 29.-Mr. Bryan, who spoke in the hall of the house of rep- resentatives tonight, was asked if he had seen General Grosvenor's statement in the national house yesterday to the effect that he (Bryan) was equally responsible with the democrats who voted for ratification of the treaty, and was ogtopped from opposing any of it's legitime effects.
 "I have read a brief extract from his speech" said MT. Bryan. Tt is true that I favored the ratification of the treaty, but l stated in my interview, published by the Associated Press on December 14, four days after the treaty was signed, and nearly two mor,ths before it was ratified, that in my judgment we should not only ratify the treaty. but that we should declare the na- tions purpose to give the Fihpinos inde- pendence upon the same terms that inde- pendence was promised to the Cubans. This opin.on was reiterated time and again.
 1.-The Bacon resolution made the promise of independence It was introduced more than monsah before host.lities began, and there was tie vote in the senate until the yice-president cast the deciding vote and defeated it. If that resolution had been passed at the time when Senator Bacon in troduced it, there would not have been any war tn the Philippine islands
 Tt is manifestly unfair for Ml-. Grosvenor to charge me with supporting the treaty without also pointing out that I favored the resolution promising independence. The bloodshed in the Philippine islands is upon those who refused to deal with the Filipi- nos On American principles. It Is cowardly for the republicans to attempt to evade the responsibility. If they favor the war of conquest, they should have the courage to avow it and give their real reasons for 1t, namely. that they desire to give the syndi- cates a chance to exploit the islands The thing that surprises me about MT. Gros- yenors charge is that he lays the blame upon the democrats. Heretofore the re- publicans have laid it on Providence"
 Mir. Bryan said the location of the con venton would have but little effect upon the attendance. "I do not think that the location of the convention is of very great importance from a party standpoint" said MT. Bryan. Ut is more a matter of con- venience to the delegates and the visitors than of party advantage, although, of course, there is a little advantage in the enthusiasm aroused in the immediate neigh borhood of the convention

tation of the Democratic position, Or.
Lucius #. c. Garvin Of Cumberland and
r. Henry Quinn Of Warwick being the
upholders of the principles of the Kansas

replied from the floor, stating Republi-
can arguments i'm controvertion Of those
advanced by the Democratic speakers.
During his speech, Or. Garvin, who Is
the Democratic candidate for Congress
I'm the Second district. made rather re-
markable statement, and one that the
Democrats of his district may, perhaps,
not very fully appreciate
DIR. Garvin said. The Republican par
~ is made up Of the elite OF the country,
the Democratic party OF the masses, the
great unwsshed.'
Mr. Washington r. Prescott in his de-
fence of the Republican party, said that
he did not think DR. Garvin would care
TO have his statement that the Republic
can party was made mp OF the elite and
the Democratic party of the unwashed go
broadcast over the land.
Mr.. Prescott then argued that the Unit
ed States in receiving and holding the
Philippines was but following the policy
OF the founders OF the Republic, and was
doing it's duty to the world, the flag, the
Filipinos and the country
He arraigned the Democratic party for
the observation-disclosures of the negroes

give franchises TO it's own citizens but
desired To do so TO a nation of barbarous,
