BRYANISM REPUDIATED.
DEMOCRATS REGARD FREE
SIL YER AS A DEAD ISSUE.
LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR NORMAN
E. MACKs IDEA OF A THIRD PARTY
FOUND IN OTHER STATES.

Norman z. Mack has raised his voice in pro-
test against the reputation Of Bryan and the
Kansas City platform by the various State con-
ventions Of the Democratic party recently held.
Mr. Mack is Democratic National Committee
from this State. He lives in Buffalo. and
belongs to the Croker Murphy -ShevIin-Mc-
Laughlin-Mack combination. which at the last
two State conventions and at the Kansas City
convention in control of the affairs OF the
party in New-York. 1t overthrew David r. Hill
and wrested the state leadership from him. Mr.
Mack Is political weak sister. He could not
amount to much in his own county without the
help Of the combination. and even with that he
has been severely trounced at home by the anti
Bryan and anti-Croker element He was elect
ed National Committeeman a sop to Erie
County. He is rampant Bryan man and has
always been with the ultra Populistic wing Of
The Democratic party. This interview with him
appeared in The New-York Journal yesterday:
The action of the Ohio Virginia and Penn
sylvania Democratic State conventions in either
absolutely ignoring repudiatng portions ir
not all. of the national platforms of the two
campaigns seems to me portentoUs. II looks as
though the men who seek to Republicanze the
Democratic party are getting into the saddle
Should they continue TO score successes a third
party appears to me inevitable"
And who would be the leaders Of the third
party?'
William j. Bryan would naturally be at the
head OF it, with George Fred Williams of Mas
sschusetts: Joseph Bailey of Texas; James K
Jones' of Arkansas; Senator Tillman. of South
Carolina Charles A. Towne. Of Minnesota, and
others his Heutenants. Behind them would
naturally be majority of the 100000 men
who In 1895 and again in 1900 marched to the
polls and cast their ballots for the regularly
nominated candidates of their party.
IF many more Democratic State conventions
secede. have those of Ohio, Virginia and
Pennsylvania. third party appears to me In
evitable. II would naturally have as leaders
Bryan, Richardson. Williams Patterson and
Tfllman, and would oppose Hill. Whitney, La
mont. Belmont and others who are charged
with seeking to Republicanize the Democratic
party. i agree with Senator Towne that IL the
reactionaries secure control Of the next Demo-
cratic National Convention, they are likely TO
repudiate the platforms of 1896 and 1900 and
name a man like David B. Hill for the Presi-
dency."
