Mr.. Bryan, that last letter TO hr1

There was no Haskell resignation
as you, Mr.. Bryan, Of all men, best,
know. lie was thrown out; thrown
ont by YOU, Mr.. Bryan, with every
mark of fgnomini0us hurry, every de-
tail of main force. Grasping at the
easing, he was thrust through tle
door; Clutching at the Wainscot' ne
was bundled down the stair OF your
affairs.
ssYOU KNEW HASKELL'S PAST
And in what you, MIR. Bryan, thus
did to Mr.. Haskell your cOWi'rdice
became apparent, Your ingratltuue
stood revealed. Mr.. Haskell had
worked for you, got money for you.
You were deep within his DEBT
Whatever were his general deserts
Won at least owed him support. Ana
when he was assaulted, what course
did YOU adopt? Did you take his
hand? Did you stand by his side!
Did YOU even so much as attempt 10
defend him? Instead of finding fault
with Mr.. Roosevelt, who had had
nothing to do with him, yOu should
find fault with yourself, who had hau
everything to do with him.
When Mr.. Haskell sought you in
Chicago Won wouldn't so much as see
him. In your hare's heart you feared
lest the ruin That was OVertaking MI
might seize also upon you.
