BRYAN ADVISED BOLTING:
indianapolis story That He Helped to
Defeat the Democratic Ticket There.

ISD1ANAPoLIs, Nov. Is. A charge was
made this morning in the Indianapolis
Journal the Republican organ of Indiana.
on the authority -of a Republican of un-
ques, oned reliability" that William j,
Bryan caused the slump Of 5000 in the
Democratic vote al the recent election.
The charge j. that Bryan sent out between
10000 and 1900 personal letters 10 Indiana
Democrats urging them To defeat the Demo-
cratic State ticket The article sqys:
@In this letter Mr., Bryan is sa;-. to
have pointed out that IN" reor 1anizing
element in the Democratic party had
u-urped control in this State and had
manipulated things in the State convention
in such a manner AZ to stfe the ajorty
of the delegates and 10 nominate ticket
of their own followers He said that the
future of the Democracy rested with the
old-lno element in the party. the men who
had stood loyally by the national ticket
in 1895 and 1900. and that the organizers
were really as antagonistic TO true Demo-
cratic principles a. were the Republicans.
He argued hat the reorganzcrs should
get singing rcbuke and n defeat that
would completely demoralize them and
convince them once and for all that men
who turned political somerSaults every
two years could not control the Demo
cratic party in Indiana or In the country
at large. The letter wac powerful appeal
| and there is no doubt that il had a tre-
mendous influence.
Closely following this letter some 1000
| pamphlets, containing copy Of the letter
/ and further arguments along the same line
were sent out from indianapolis to the
| Free SlveIitrs Of the State. The pamphlet
was prepared that its source could not

committee of Bryanites and IL may have

MIR Bryan followed up hIs letter with
articles in the fOmmOner along the same
