WHY BRYAN IS STRONG.

The New York Evening Post is against MT. Bryan, but it admits that he is strong before the people The Post says:
 It is not possible today to arouse the conservative forces of the country in opposition to Bryan so splendidly as in 1896. Everybody knows the reason why. You can not revile man whom you have initiated. A party that has ap- propriated Bryan's ideas can not, with good effect, attack his person. At tbe very beginning of the Re- publican campaign, it is the part whether of frankness or sound gen. eralship to admit that power of re- sistance to Bryan has been much broken by four years of yielding to him. President Roosevels's avowed and deliberate purpose has been to head off Bryan by stealing his issues.
