Mr., BRYAN and the Philippines.

,rhc washington Post and the Spring
field Republican are busily discussing the
relation which Mr.. Bryan bore to the
ratification OF the treaty Of Paris
through which the United States assumed
sovcrelgnty over the Philippines The Post
remarked the other day:
1t is a historical fact that but for his
interference, his coming from the Florida
Camp of the regiment Of which he was
colonel and pleading With senators to
vote for the Paris treaty, we should have
escaped the calamity of Philippine
sovereignty and all its baneful conse-
oucnces That simple truth, a fact which
no one attempts to deny, should nave
sealed Colonel Bryuns lips.
This statement was copied by the
Springfield Republican, and that journal
added the following:
THIS is an old question, and, as the
years pass 1t grows more historical than
ever, Has the Washington Post ever
heard Of a United States senator then
in the Senate, who has admitted that
Mr., BRYAN was influential In changing
lis vote from the negative to the afflrma-
tive? Or can the Post mention senator
who voted in the affirmative according
10 its own belief, solely because OF MI.
Bryans persuaslons?
The Post asserts in reply thatNit has
heard of more than one senator, VINO,
In private conversation, has referred re-
gretfully to his vote to ratify the treaty,
and "nIore In sorrow than In anger has
| mentioned Mr.. Bryan'sl persuasion as the
| cause Of that lamcnted vote.
