harmony dinner at New York is pretty

ont by Mr. Bryan tonight commenting
IN ,he dinner. At the outset Mr. bry-
an saws there is no such thing as Demo-
asouc harmony where former President
Cl.yeland is concerned. lie says

uos advertised as harmony meeting
h,, II turned out to be what might
hoyo been expected Of such a gathering,
an ovation to the chief guest, former
nsmocrat Grover Cleveland. There
can be no such thing as harmony be-
tween men like him and those who be-
uava in Democratic principles and he
IL frank enough TO say 50, lie spent
M time looking for middle ground
~non which to gather together discord-
sn elements. He boldly called upon
Che members OF the party to abandon
their convictions and accept the con-
structlon which he places upon Demo-
cratic principles. He even tainted the
Marty with being sort OF prodlgal son
and invited IL to give up its diet OF
misks and return 10 its fathers house.

,tical activity and said Perhaps

He not only boosted Of his course,
but nut his brand upon those who sat
at meal with him. Having asserted
that his Democratic faith compelled
him to leave the party Tor resulted In
his banIshmenU he described the ban
Queters as sharing that faith.
He Is not only defiant, but he insists
that party success can only be secured !
By an open and ayowed return to his |
ideas Harmony is to be secured, not |
By the suppression of differences, but |
nv the elimination Of those who differ |
from him.
Mr.. Bryan says he will print in his |
PAPER Mr. Ceyeland's speech to show |
that the reorganizers don't want har- |
mony, but control, and that their con- |
ro means the abandonment of the |
party's position and q return TO the |
