the three sets. The victory of the home
player to-day and the defeat of Wright and Alex

the American people will neither be
confused nor misled by adroit thrusts
or pleaders' skill. If all that Bryan
has favored during the past II years
had been enacted into law, we would
have been overwhelmed with disaster
and would regard it our chief busi-
ness in the future to find a way OF
escape from the meshes of ill-con-
sidered legislation. Bryan says the
democratic platform SIS binding as to
