Bryan's Views on Harmony.

THE banquet given on the evening
Of June 10 by the Tilden club of New
York city was advertised as a har-
mony meeting but it turned out to be
what might have been expected of
such a gathering, an ovation to the
chief guest. former Democrat, Grover
| Cleveland. There can be no such thing
as harmony between men like him
and those who believe in Democratic
principles, and he is frank enough to
say so. He spent no time looking
for middle ground" upon which to
gather together discordant elements.
"The fight is on between Demo-
cracy that means Democracy and
| Clevelandism which means plutocracy.
Every speech made by Mr.. Cleveland
shows more clearly the odiousness of
the policies for which he stands. We
have more to fear from those who,
| like Mr.. Hill, indorse Mr.. Cleveland's
views but conceal their real purpose
in ambiguous language"

of dropsy at his home in Louisville

at Washington park, Chicago, one

going to see the race. He was con-

be carried from his home on a couch
to the train. From the train he was
borne to the race track and his couch
was placed in position so that he
might view the race, which he said |
would be the last he would ever see.

brought back to this city and since
then he had gradually grown weaker
until the end came.
