BANKRUPT PARTY AND A DE-
STROYED CAREER.
EDITOR The CONSERVATIVE

EDITOR IHE CONSERVATIVE
Do you recall the private letter of con-
graduation which I once addressed to
you upon your discovery Of Hon. w. J.
Bryan as new, young and brilliant
leader of the democratic party of the
state? It was, think, in 1890 that you
received, and answered, with sympa-
thetic interest, that tribute to Mr..
Bryan as a coming leader of the grow
ing democratic party in Nebraska. It
had elected the sterling and steady
James E. Boyd to the governorship and
Bryan to two terms in congress. 1t was
gaining strength on old and true demo
cratic lines, on the dangerous money
question and on all other current issues
which were the legacies of republican
usurpation and misgovernment, state
and national. This was especially
true of Douglas and other populous
counties in the state. Discomfort with
republican domination was everywhere
apparent, particularly with the COR
ruption of the state government.
Young men Of marked character and
talents, full of honorable ambition, en-
ergy and zeal, were directing it's poll
cies and nominating it's candidates. Sa-
gacious men foresaw with clearness,
the coming opportunity to redeem and
hold the state. Some of us had overtly
assisted Mr.. Bryan to celebrate his own
abilities and promise, and were relying
upon him to aid others and to crafty
his own ambitions in this work.
It is a sad story. The state conven-
tion which nominated Holcomb for
governor and ordained fusion, which
always means dishonor and death to po-
litical parties, has bankrupted the demo-
cratic party, and, from the same deadly
influence, destroyed the once promising
public career of w. j. Bryan.
