IL ANOTHER column will be
found communication from Mr..
Curlett anent a recent editorial in
the columns of this paper. We al
ways welcome comment on public
questions of the day, aud particularly
on anything emanatipg from our col
ums, as otherwise We might become
narrow minded and look at things
sometimes in an unfair light. The
difference between Mr.. Curlett and
the CITIZEN seems to be purely a
matter of sentiment. There can be
no question of equal devotion to
principle or party, for the tenets of
both are too well known to question
either. Mr.. Curlett, however, mis-
judges US when he asserts that we
wish to raise up prejudice in the
minds of the people against Mr..
Bryan. A close reading of our recent
editorial writings will disclose the
fact that We esteem Mr.. Bryan in no
less degree than he is held in the heart
of multitudes of his admirers, but as a
public man We with hosts of other
papers have felt called upon to spec
ulate as to his future intents, and, if
possible, analyze his feelings to-
wards the great Democratic party
and towards the various ones who
are spoken of as its future leaders.
80 far as we can see Mr.. BRYAN is
the same man he was in 1896
more's the pity. To use an expires
sion of Mr.. Cleveland (who IN no
respect holds an equal position with
Mr.. Bryan in our esteem) it is a condi-
ton and not theory that confronts
us; and we greatly fear that Mr..
Bryan has failed to recognize this
truth and keep up with chan ged
conditions, which if not acted upon
must lead to disaster and sometimes
disgrace. Mr.. Bryan is an honest
man, and for that reason we have
been loath to credit the press reports
that his deolination of nomination
is not sincere. At the same time, if
sincere, We have said and how re-
peat, that if Mr.. Bryan persists in de-
manding that the Democratic party
shall enter the fight of 1904 under a
Free Silver flag, upon pain of his
displeasure and enmity, he will fall
far short in the estimate of character
that we and thousands of other loyal
Democrats have accorded him, and
will prove himself unworthy of the
love and devotion that has been
showered upon him. From the cat
egory of sore-heads and common
scolds we still continue to pray that
NC may oe delivered.
The following editorial from the
rage Courier, strict Republican pa
per, is significant aud opportune as
warning to Mr.. Bryan and the Dem
ocratic party to pause and consider
whittier they are drifting:
