BRYAN STILL IN the FIGHT.
Just before leaving for Europe Mr..
Bryan was interviewed by reporter
OF the New York World. The inter.
view is so interesting, as showing
that Mr.. Bryan does not intend to
give up the fight against plutocrats
disguised as democrats, that we give
it idoan.
'1n his manifesto in last Sunday g
World" he said, I" Mr.. Cleveland
followed his usual custom and reflect.
ed upon the intelligence, the integrity
and the sanity of those who supported
the democrats ticket In the campaigns
of 1896 and 1900. II the recent election
is q long step in the direction of sane
democracy,' then, according to Mr..
Cleveland's opinion the party must
have been insane when it dared to
differ from him.
HE speaks OF years OF our wander.
ing and forgetfulness OF party integ.
rity.' Unless by the word our he
refers to himself and those who Joined
him in opposing the democrat, party,
be must set himself up as q standard
and bring an Indictment against the
six and half million citizens who
voted the democratic ticket while he
Joined with hundred and thirty two
thousand in supporting Palmer and
Buckner. He is, however probably
the only one of the hundred and thir.
ty two thousand who Is enough of q
phsrisee to boast OF bis superior i,y
and insult those who differ from him
by questioning their mental and moral
soundness.
"lt is hard to decide whether such
statements as the one published in the
World indicate an egotism that makes
him Indifferent to the truth, IN
/ 'norance that makes him incapable
OF understanding the truth, or 9 moral
obtuseness that makes him ignore the
truth.
'The history of the last ten years
cannot be blotted out by his pompou.
and self-laudatory pronunciamentos
He secured his election in 1892 by
practicing a wilful deception upon
the public. While In the campaign
the tariff question was the paramount
issue, his committee secured and ex
pended the largest campaign fund tina,
the democratic party ever had and tt .
