An Impressive Contrast.

The World Is In receipt OF the fol-
lowing letter, which unquestionably
reflects the opinion OF q great many
honest Republicans:
To the Editor of The World:
As sure as the Lord made little APP
pies. and many others will change
our votes to Mr. Bryan unless the
Republican national committee pub
fishes Its contributions prior to cleo.
ton day, rs the democratic commit
tee has done. 1t gives us a sense OF
shame when Democrats ask us why
we do not publish our contributions
like honest people,
A REPUBLICAN.
Dover. Del. Oct. 20.
Can anybody advance a legitimate
reason why the Republican national
committee should not make its cam.
paign contributions public before cleo.
ton, the same as the Democratic com.
mittee is doing?
Mr.. Sheldon Is going to make the
Republican contributions and expend-
lures public after election, In &c.
cordance with the laws OF New York.
but so Is Mr.. Ridder. On one side Is
Democratic publicity both before and
AFTER election; on the other side Is
Republican publicity only after elec-
ton.
What do the Republicans fear? Is
1t not fact that publicity before
election would prove that the princi-
pal contributions to the Republican
campaign fund are derived from Wall
st., the protected manufacturers, rail-
road presidents. national-bank oficials,
trust managers and all the elements OF
privilege, protection and plutocracy?
II there Is any other good reason
for Republican silence and secrecy,

Il mean no disrespect TO Mr.. Taft In
expressing the opinion that he would
probably never have been thought OF
as a candidate for the presidency bur
for his equipment with some qualities
which were never the outfit of any dis
tinguished statesman. He can hardly
be said to have been nominated by the
people of the United States or even by
the Republican party. He Is, besides,
one OF a class CT benighted public men
who believe that our prosperity as a
nation has beeH-dae to nothing SO
much as or not entirely TO our tarin
on imports.
"Mr. Bryan was not originally my
favorite among the various candidates
for the Office OF president at this cleo
ton, perhaps because | had never met
hin. or heard him speak. for his pow
ers OF persuasion have certainly won
for him a national fame and national
eminence. He owes to no mans exer-
lions but his own these successive
nominations to the presidency OF the
Democratic party.
HE has pledged himself over and
over again, II elected, TO do what he
can TO help the country TO return TO 4
revenue tariff, than which there Is no
more important nor more importunat-
ed duty at present for president OF
the United States TO discharge.
"I expect to vote for him both be-
cause I am encouraged to hope for
some relief from the conflscating tariff
policies OF the Republican party, DUR
Ing his administration, while | could
expect little but what should regret
from Mr.. Taft. should he keep the
pledges which he gave-I will not say

OF any opinions OF his constitutional
advisers and in fragrant disregard OF
the legislative department OF this gov
eminent, which Is very liable to have
some policies OF It's own, which most
OF our presidents have deemed II their
duty TO respect.

led about the country patiently to per

"In this the model OF candidate we
require to occupy the chair which aas

son. by Jackson. by Van Buren,, by
Lincoln, and should have been filed
by Tilden. who was the chosen OF
the people by a plurality OF more than
25O. 900 votes? Ia such candidate
the best to be found for the existing
emergency, or is Mr.. Taft the only
man the people will be permitted to
choose as a successor to the present
incumbent?
rs the president henceforth to be
an executive appointment? Or are we
carelessly drifting back to an heredI-
tary monarchy which our ancestors
less than century and a half ago
bravely risked their lives and their
fortunes TO be delivered from?"
