Allan Forbes Of N w Harris & Co. No. IS

Vanderlip and Mayor Mcclellan as to the value OF
the city's bonds as an investment. In a recent

A Forest of Interrogation Pointsp

Fusion between popuIists and democrats
again in Nebraska. in Mr.. Bryan's name
and for his benefit. Well why not? Is not
Mr.. Bryan as much Of democrat as ever
he was? As much of populist also? Has
he not repeat teddy shown that he loves both
parties? Has he not suffered for the sake
of both? Have not the democrats Of the
east described his democracy as populism.
and the republicans of all sections described
his populism as democracy? Has he not
been twice defeated for President because
of a platform which partook so strongly Of
both pcpulism and democracy that experts
found it difficult to say where the one began
and the other left off? If Mr.. Bryan were
sane and safe according to the ideas of
eastern democrats would the populists now
indorse him? And as they do indorse him,
is 1t incumbent on the eastern democrats to
diagnose his case afresh? Is there any other
man in America whose position and prin-
ciples raise up such a forest of Interrogation
points?
