| During the past month everybody has re-
ceived g Ivoytd's map of Organism, nthere-
fore the reply that one Of our citi-
zens sent the Worfd will be read with inter
est
To the Editor of the JEold:
Replying to your Map of Bryansmn
pamphlets, if the World had been as fair and
justin the presentation of its arguments
against Mr.. Bryan's nomination, as it re-
cites in its introductory remarks, its politi-
cal topographer would have taken, as a
basis of comparison, the years of 1913, '94
and 80, which would have revealed a very
different aspect from that which the
World would have its readers view it.
Such methods SAVIOR Of deception and cum
ming and fail to inspire confidence in the
| indictments which the Hol}d is urging
against Mr.. BIyan's nomination. TIL
charge thai Mr.. Br yam was passive toward
| Jud &c Parker's election is refuted by the
statement Of Mr.. Bryan, that he Judge
|
York and thanked him for his efficient ser
| vices, and during his speech-making tour
| of Ohio wired him and assured him OF his
appreciation for the work he WAS doing in
his behalf. These facts fully eontroyert the
| innuendo that he was only shalf-hearted'
in his support of Judge Parker's success.
Now, let US compare the credentials of Mr..
Bryan's democracy and his attitude toward
the standard bearer of his party, with that
of the World and other so-called demo
cratic papers throughout the coantry,
which fatty refused to support Mr.. Bryan's
candidacy, after he had been regularly
nominated in Democratic Convention.
The paramount isSae of all issues with Mr..
Bryan is Democracy versus Republieanism,
being obedient to the will of the majority
in direct contrast to the TIIorld and other
metropolitan dailies, that turned their backs
upon the nominee Of their party. 10 view
of such faithful services to the cause Of De-
moeracy, how can the IForld question the
loyalty Of Mr.. Bryan, when measured by
all rules of the democratic code, he has
proved himself to be Irregular" and is
surely entitled to the confidence of the
Democratic party. Men may differ as to
the quantitative theory of money, but the
fact is, as the volume of currency has ex-
banded, the purchasing power Of money
has declined because prices have readily
advanced, and in the minds of most think
ers upon that question, Mr.. Bryan has
been fully yindicated, IN spite of your as
sertion to the contrary. The fact that Mr..
Bryan received about 1 $50, 900 more votes
than Judge Parker, is hard for layman
to understand how you can interpret him
as weak candidate. Is it not a signif-
can't fact and magnificent compliment to
his individuality, that he is regarded as
the logical candidate among the rank and
file of his party, in defiance of the organ
lied opposition OF corporate interests to
carry out the reforms which he has so
zealously advocated and the possible en-
forcement Of which, explains, in the main,
the opposition arrayed against him. In
conclusion, if the World in It's great capac-
ity of disseminating news would only lend
its aid in cooperating with the spontane-
GUS sentiment of the masses Of the Demo
cratic party in nominating and electing
Hon. William J. Bryan, it seems to me it
would show more political wisdom. than it
does in trying to detract from his deserved
popularity. Mr.. Bryan's Personal Equa-
tom in the Democratic party will not be
lessened by your attacks upon him, and
you may just as well try to omit the leaven-
ing power of yeast in the process of making
the genuine sshome- made" article and ex-
pect it to be acceptable 80 those who would
partake of its sustenanee, as to try to elm
mate him from the "roll callr Of popular
leadership in the councils Of his party.
Yours truly,
Sewell, N. J. GEORGE B. HURFF
