Denies Ever Talking or Writing
Against the Granting of Pensions.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Oct. I'm
an interview given out late today by
w. j. Bryan. he Denies as las beer
alleged, that he ever made Il speech OF
wrote an editorial against the granting
Of pensions to soldiers. on the contrar.
he declares that all of his / l2tforms
nave endorsed pensions and he favors a
liberal pension policy. He said:
My attention has been called to a
clipping from Republican paper
which purports to be an extract from
L speech en- the subject of pensions, de-
livered by me in Congress and the date
ot the speech is fixed at Nov. IS, 1892.
In the purported speech | am accused
"f criticiZing the appropriations for
pensions and am charged with using
language unfriendly to the pensioner.
I desire to say that l never used the
language attributed to me, either ir
Congress or anywhere else. I never
made a speech against pensions in Con
eress or anywhere else.
'On the contrary. my record shows
that ] favored liberal pensions to the
surviving soldiers and to their de
pendentS.
congress was not in session on Nov.
Is, 1892 as anyone. can ascertain by eX-
amning the records. The first session
Of Congress adjourned in the summer
Of 1892 and the second session did not
assemble until December of that year
Il think that the language quoted j.
the same that had been used at other
times when it was charged that l had
used the language in an editorial in
4 paper OF which | was at one time cdi-
tor. 1t was claimed that the editorial
appeared in 1892. This was nearly two
years before | became connected With
the paper | do not know whether the
editorial ever appeared in that paper,
but | know that | was not connected
with the paper until long after the date
on which the editorial is said To have
appeared, and | know that j never
wrote an editorial for that paper or
any other paper or ever said il a
speech or otherwise anything I'M
friendly to the soldier and his pension
AS this misrepresentation was brought
to my attention, | take this means OF
answering it. All of my pla forms have
endorsed pensions and | favor Il liberal
pension policy.
