Mr.. Rrvan's Attack.

At the opening OF his address in Mndi-
son Square Concert Hall, In New York,
on Tuesday night, Mr.. William j. Bryan
said:
"why have flung away ambition?
Why have rejected this preferred great.
ness ana been deaf to the entreaties Of
those who talk Of getting together?'
want to know what they are getting
together for; whether to defend rights
or to enter upon aAcoursc Of pillnge.'
During the past several months lead.
Ing Democrats In nll parts Of the coun-
try, who formerly differed among them
selves on the subject OF free silver, have
been making overtures to each other,
saying that as free silver was thing
OF the past, there was no reason why
1t should longer divide Democrats, and
that there was no sufficient reason why
all Democrats should not get together"
in 1901 and unite heartily in an effort
to elect Democratic President They
claim to be acting in tho Interest OF
Democracy. They say that It Is i'm
possible for the Democratic party TO
wiz SO long as 1t Is split up into dlt-
fcrcnt factions, each faction at war with
the other. They say that the way to
success lies along the line OF harmony
and cooperation. They say that DEM
oc:ats should bo willing to put aside
their prejudices and animosities and per-
sonal differences, and make whatever
of honorable concession that may be
necessary, to bring about party unity, and
they claim that this course is to&be pur-
sued in tho interest and for the love
OF Democracy.
But Mr.. Bryan turns q deaf ear to
the entreaties Of those who talk OF get
ting together" to those who talk OF
harmony and party unity, and says
to them, II want to know what you
are getting together for; whether to de-
fend rights or to enter upon q course
of pillagc."
In other words, Mr.. Bryan says to
eli such Democrats, II have no faith
in your professions I do not trust you.
I do not believe that you are sincere
in YOUR protestntions. do not believe
| that YOU care anything for true De-
! mocracy, or for tho rights Of the poo
ple. believe that you are willing 10
sacrifice principle to success. be-
l,evo that you desire success above al
things, and that you desire success IN
order that you may get control OF the
office and put yourselves in q position
| to pllage the people,
This is either the raving Of q political
madrnan or It is deliberate insult to
tho great body of Democrats throughout
tho land. In either view, 1t Is enough
to destroy forever whatever OF influ-
ence Mr.. Bryan may have had in the
party councils.
