rinco1n Mob InIv as-Ceharging that william II.
Taft sis not satisfied with the work of the Chicago
convention which nominated him as the Repuon-
can candidate for the Presidency, and that "he is
deeply impressed with the work of the Democratic
convention" william J. Bryan issued statement
to-day which he expresses the opinion that MI
Taft fears the uprising which Republican ABUSES
have caused and yet hestates to adopt his real
and substantial reforms The statement was
called forth because of the allegation made by Mr'

terday that Mr.. Bryan was a destroyer OF ouSi-
ness In regard to the speech Mr. Bryan said;
II read IT, and shall discuss it as deal with the
various subjects upon which it treats For IN

cago on September T. l shall discuss his attituue
on the labor question. In other speeches shaii
discuss his attitude on the tariff question the trus

pressed himself.
The most noticeable feature of his speech Is his
attempt to amend the Republican platform oy en-
grating On IT some of the planks of the Democratic
n1atforno He is evidently satisfied with the
work of his convention. and is deeply impressed
by the work Of the Democratic convention ne Is
uncharitable however, in not giving the Democra
party credit for having pointed out the reforms
which his own convention repudiated but Wnich
he In half hearted way indorses the speech
shows that he fears the uprising which Repuohcah
abuses have caused and yet hesitates 10 adopt MS
real and substantial reforms.

has not vet been begun by Mr.. Bryan. but he said
