candidate for the Gold Democratic nomination. Mr..
Bryan to-day said:
Why not liarlanF The God Democrats seem
anxious To find presidential candidate who IS not
tainted with the silver heresy." and insist that
that their main objection 10 the ticket nomi-
mated in 1896 and in 1900. Why do they not the
nomination of Justice Harlan? OF course Mr.. Har-
Ian Is not Democrat, but that objection ought not
Ia weigh with the Gold Democrats who voted for
Mr.. Mckinley MIR. Harlan has not only placed
himself record against Imperialism. Dut he also
wrote dissenting opinion in the income tax case
and opposed the position taken by the supreme
Court in the sugar trust He has splendid
record on three prominent questions. But this is
the very reason why the Gold Democrats would
object to him. They prefer a Democrat who in
dorses Republican policies TO Republican who
supports Democratic policies.
