The Winning Issue.
MR.. EDIroR:-

Mr.. EDIToR:-
The bitterness existing in this
state against FIX President Cleve-
land and the Cleveland wing OF Il o
Democratic party is, to say the
least Of lt,uniortunate, especially at
time when all should be as OF
one mind. This fact would not
be fact il our good friends would
study the history OF past elections.
The writer voted for Mr.. Brysn
and expects to vote for the noml-
nee OF the st. Louis Convention, Q
It whom-soever IL may.
Mr.. Bryan Is great man and
is right part Of the time, but not
always. In lecture he said Eve
have lost more elections on the
tariff Issue than on any other
issue, and yet the reorgsnlzers
would have us return to it.r
Prior to the civil war the Demo-
Gratis never lost an election on the
tariff Issue. During the war and
reconstruction period the tariff
was not an issue. In 1880 the
"bloody shirt" was the issue with
tho republicans, and Hancock
declared the tariff TO be local
Issue.
Mr.. Cleveland was ell, cted on q
tariff isspe In 1884, and lost In 1883.
That was the only nationaielection
10 the whole history of the country
where the Democrats on direct
issue OF the tariff lost; and yet
Mr.. Cleveland received 1884
more votes In 1888 than he did In
1884 when elected. He carried
New Jersey and Connecticut, and
lost Mr.. Harrlson's own state by
2348 votes. He lost New York by
1900. A chlnge OF about 1000
votes In this state would have
elected Mr.. Cleveland In 1888.
The Democrats were then united
aud before Harrison got comfort
ably fixed In the White House we
carried little Rhode Island, and In
November Of the same year we
carried Iowa, New Jersey ahd
Ohio, and lost Massachusetts, by
only 6175. The next wear we
carried Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois
Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Montana, Nebraska and Oregon
electiug Mr.. Bryan to Congress,
In the presidential election In 1885,
the Democrats swept the whole
country, again electing Cleveland
These were the results Of cam,
palgns made on tariff issue. On
MIR. Bryan's platform in 1896 We
los. every Northern state east ol
the Missouri river and Kentucky
In addition. In the state elections
OF 1897, 1893, and 1899 we were
flogged numerically. In l90'
Mr.. Bryan was defeated by .
popular plurality Of S4s700, tn
worst defeat ever known In Ameri
can history. Since thOn the It'd
