Mr.. BRYAN'S REPLY
TO THE TIlDEM CLUB
Tells Why He Did Not Receive Invita-
tion, and Says Sarcastic
Things.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE invitation
to the Tilden Club dinner sent to William
]. Bryan, which Mr.. Bryan said he never
received, and later admitted that he did
receive, has now been formally acknowl-
edged from the office of The Common
err at Lincoln, Neb., under date of July
s. The letter of acknowledgment was
an autograph letter, and addressed by Mr..
Bryan to the secretary of the Tilden
night and reads:
Dear Sis:
Through the oversight Of a clerk in
my office / did not see the invitation
sent by your club and did not know
Until last Wednesday that one had been
received. On that day l received a tel
egram from my secretary, addressed TO
me at Aberdeen, S. D., saying such a
communication had been found. l re-
eret exceedingly that 1t did not come
to me before the time, for. while
would not have thought proper to ac-
cept. | would have acknowledged the
courtesy and given my reasons for de-
dining
When Mr.. Cleveland left the Demo-
cratic party IN 1870 i recognized MS
right to do so and did not criticise his
decision, although as the party candi-
date | was compelled to bear the odlum
which his administration had brought
upon the party-an odium which had al
ready led to more disastrous defeat
than any since experienced. He has
never yet indicated an intention 10 re-
turn to the Democratic party. and his
business interests are such as to make
his return improbable.
Until he does manifest some respect
for Democratic principles and policies,
do not understand why he should lie an
honored guest at political dinner given
by Democratic club. Having thrown his
influence to the Republican party In two
campaigns. he is hardly in position to
advise the party which he abandoned, or,
as he expressed it, which banished MIN.
II am anxious to see the party grow
in numbers and in strength, but 1t is
absurd to expect this result to follow
an attempt on the part OF the deserters
to turn the party over to the control Of
those who find the society of Republi-
cans more congenial than the society
of those who believe in the platforms
adopted IN 1896 and In 1900.
Harmony is only possibly between
those who desire the triumph OF the
same principles and policies. 1t Is
quite evident that Mr.. Clevelands sup
porters are nearer to the Republican
than to the Democratic party.
Yours truly,
