1 his wishes or ambitions. He put the facts of the situation plainly. imper- sonally, precisely as they were and are, and there was no reasonable an- swer to be made by any reasonable
 man.
 Mir. Bryan upon acquaintance prov ed different from my preconception of him. I met not a visionary orator but q man of sense, in deadly earnest, di- | rect and reasonable. Coming to know him better. seeing him in his home, I found a man able and sincere, devoted and devout, having a childlike faith in the people, in God and truth. I changed my opinion altogether. I felt that l had done him signal injus- tice. l would as soon trust him in
 the white house as George Gray or
 Richard Olney; and I believe that 1 when he gets there militant democra- ! Cy of the school of JecersOn and Jack son and Tilden will renew its youth and vigor, leading the way to such | changes in the national house and | senate as will restore them their leg islative functions and give the people | assurance of real and lasting reforms. Impossible Republican Promises. No party was ever known to re- ! form itself. Republican promises 10 l form republican abuses make but a | poor deathbed repentance. Taft means, either four years more of | Theodore" or a new lease for Aldrich, l Cannon and company. Bryan means, l if anything else, the new broom that sweepeth clean, upon floors that are | admittedly most unclean. There must ] be an occasional change of parties rr cd, ] tion. One-party government is onIy a degree less objectionable than the | one-man power.
 It is a peculiar misfortune and an
 augury of evil that the people of the l east-notably the people of New York get their mentaE sustenance chiefly i through the organs of the rich. in ! the buco1ic days "befo' the war" the | people of the gulf states were fed ' from the same trough. Their news 1 papers sang only the virtues of slav- l cry. None others were allowed to 1 exist. In the fabulous wealth of the l east piled up in few handsome of it predatory-much of it sprung 1 from class legislationLall of it more | or less corrupting-it is easy to see 1 a growing likeness to the patrician- i ism of the old south.
 Already artificial conditions of life 1 predominate.
 ! Young men are reared to regard en- i shusiasm as effeminate Young women ! are almost as educated in a knowledge i of evil as young men. The sex line l becomes less and less visible. Caste ! distinctions press upon the common i alty more and more, and harder and
 harder. The foolish poor either hate i or emulate the foolish rich. Graft is | everywhere.
 l Money-making seems quite to have ] swamped simple patriotism and pOpu- ! lar pety. The newspapers are so used % this that they are callous-they ! take their complexion from society, Z which is well pleased with itself and | wants things to remain as they are

 so in the Carolinas fifty years ago. He
