BRYAN's REVIEW.

Upon his return home VIM. j
Bryan gave out the following state
ment:
II shall vote for Parker ano
Davis, the nominees of the democrat.

so for the following reasons.
"First-Because the democrats,
party stands for opposition to impe-
rialism, while the republican ticke,
stands for an imperalistic policy.
On this question, which was the par.
amount issue in 1900, and which
must remain an important issue sc
long as an attempt is made to hold
colonies under the American flag
ON this issue the convention was
unanimous, the platform emphatic.
ano | have no doubt that the candi-
date will carry out the platform.
''Second-Mr. Roosevelt is inject
ing the race issue into American pol
itics, and this issue, if it becomes ma
honal, will make it impossible to
consider questions that demand So
luton. The election of the demo-
cratic ticket will put quietus on
this subject.
'Third-Mr. Roosevelt stands for
The spirit of war. His friends pre-
sent him as man of blood and

and iDculcates u love for warlike
things. The democratic ticket stands
for peace, for reason and for srbilra.

who carry their liquor like gentlemen
and pride themselves on being able to

puts it thus:
As between the habitual drinker and

Conversion is no repairing of the old
building, but it takes all down, and

putting in a patch, or sewing on a
list of holiness; but with the true
convert, holiness is woven into all
his powers, principles and practice.
