T,e principles Mr.. Bryan espoused
he said, were so undeniable sound that
lis victorious opponents have appro-
priated many of them and made them
popular features of their policies" H.
said Eamill, it was true as charged py
Lis colleague that Bryan was engaged
in the practice Of corralling delegates
to the Denver convention, 1T was the
very same practice INDUCED in "by the
illustrious gentlemen whom my friends
on the other side of the chamber Doast
of as their political chieftan."
All ewes then turned toward Leake,
who, amid republican applause. said ne
hid been misunderstood, that the Con-
eressional Record would bear him out
that he had cast no aspersions on the
..peerless one"
Leake Grows Sarcastic.
His tone in referring to Bryan was
so sarcastic that he was again ap-
plauded by the republicans. Mr.. Leake
said it was his honest opinion that his
views reflected the sentiment of his
district. his state and county There
were, he said certain principles of the
democratic party which had been de-
parted from since 1906, and that in this
year when we see opportunity OF VIC
tory, we are still trusting our fortunes
to the distinguished gentleman from
s Nebraska"
Leake spoke of the doctrines of
Thomas jefferson, and reverting to
Bryan provoked vorciferous republican
applause, and general laughter when
he said:
believe that Bryan is sincere and
honest, and 1 believe he is truthful,
and believe further he cannot repre-
sent the principles of the democratic
party before the American people. I
believe he cannot preach doctrine of
home rule in the states, and I do not
believe he can preach the doctrine of
American individuality, for when he
rises as our leader, he is wound around
by his heresies of free silver, by his
doctrines of governmental ownership,
and by his guaranteeing bank deposits
of the United States, and by all those
other socialistic tendencies
John Sharp Williams, leader of the
minority, brought the coloquy to
climax and close.
st have observed" he said, that the
risibilities of the other side were con-
siderably stirred by clash of two in
dividual opinions on this side. The re-
publicans seem to rejoice that there is
no rod of iron on the democratic side
to assure absolute unanimity of opin-
ion. I recognize. as in contrast, that
the republicans are generally united,
notwithstanding the fact that now and
then, when one of them rises, he is
warned by another of them to get out
of the way or be run down"
