 Principles of Bryan.
 we congratulate the country upon the fact that the prominence which the present Republican national adminis- tration has attained has been achieved by a feeble and pretended application of the principles enunciated bl the Honorable William Jennings Bry- an, the great Democratic commoner, who is now regarded as the certain successor of Theodore Roosevelt to the Presidency.
 . '"We congratulate the people of Penn sylvania on the pretended conversion of the Republican organization of our State to sound and moral political doe trines. While the sincerity of this eleventh hour repentance may well be doubted it may at least be accepted as that tribute which hypocricy always pays to virtue
 "All the Republican patform profess es now has been consistently declared for and supported by the Democracy of the State for many years.
 eve therefore repeat the declara- ton of our aims and purposes when we again affirm that we stand as ever for the rule of the people in county. State. and nation as against the federated ty- ranny of organized greed and corrupt political and commercial manipula- tions"
