29.-Charging that William
H. Taft is not satisfied
with the work Of the Chicago

him as the. Republican candidate for
President, and that che is deeply Inn
pressed with the Democratic conven-
tion." William J. Bryan to-day issued
statement in which he expresses the
opinion that Judge Taft fears the.
uprising which Republican abuses have
caused. and yet hesitates to adopt real
and substantial reforms.'
To Reply to Taft.
The statement was called forth by
the allegation OF Judge Taft in his
speech of acceptance at Cincinnati on
yesterday that Mr. Bryan was de-
,stroyer OF business. In regard to the
speech. Mr.. Bryan said:
II read 1t. and shall dacuss It as
deal with the various subjects upon
which 1t treats. For instance. In a
speech at Topeka. between now and
the LIST Of September. l shall discuss
the guaranty OF banks and contrast
Mr.. Tafts position with the Democratic
position. In my Labor Daysspe ech at
Chicago. on sspten1her 7ths shall dis
cuss his attitude on the labor question.
I In other speeches shall discuss his
attitude on the tariff question, the
trust question and other questions on
which he has expressed himself.
s.The most noticeable feature of hfs
speech is his attempt to amend the
Republican platform by engraftinx on
1T some OF the planks of the Demo-
cratic platform. He Is evidently not
satisfied with the work Of his con-
We ntion, and il deeply Impressed by
the work OF the Democratic c0nven-
tion.
SHE In uncharitnblc, however, In not
giving the Democratic party credit for
having pointed ont the reforms which
his own convention repudiated, hut
fnV. WHxns4 ia
dorses. The speech shows that he fears
the uprising which Republican abuses
have caused, and yet hesitates to adopt
his real and substantial reforms"
