Says Grover Ignored Imperialism
When It Was a Live Issue.

A dispatch from Atlanta Ca, last night
says: William Jennings Bryan, who ar
rived here today from Florida. speaking OF
the article by Grover Cleveland in the
Saturday Evening Post said:
'The article is in line with his utterances
for the last three years. During the cam
paign of 1900 when Imperialism was the
paramount issue. and when we were point
ing out the dangers of a colonial policy,
he was silent. AS soon as the election was
over and the trusts firmly installed for the
next four years. he came out from his
hiding place and began to offer advice to
the democratic party.
He has ventured to repeat that advise
at intervals ever since. In his later utter
ance he speaks gravely of the dangers Of
imperialism, to which he seemed so in
different when his party, or rather his
former party, handicapped by the iniquitiss
of his former administration, was Iaboring
to prevent a surrender of national ideals.
HE is now predicting success to the
party if it will follow his instructions. Aud
yet all who know him, who are acquainted
with his career. know that he would no.
vote for candidate running on the Ten
Commandments If the candidate had not
secretly nortgaged himself to Wall street
and agreed to obey without questioning
any order emanating therefroH
HE knows that the men who have COM
mercialzed the party and debauched poll
tics want him nominated. and would con-
tribute more to his candidacy than to the
candidacy Of any other man, republican
or democrat because they know that there
is wider gap between his PROFESSIONS ann
his practices than there has ever been N
recent years between the professions ana
practices of any other public man. His
career has shown how completely the con-
science can be separated from the mind in
the performance of duty"
..What do you think of the statement by
Mr. Cleveland that he is member or the
rank and file of the democratic party?"
II will admit with pleasure, that he IS
rank: but I Will deny that he Is one of the
fle That's my view as to his being -
member of the rank and file
.The democrats should reaffirm the KAN
sas City platform. free silver and all, con-
cIuded Mr.. Bryan.
