Il have confidence that our party posi-
| ton is going to appeal to the judgment
and conscience of the public and in this
campaign we are confident that events
have robbed the Republican party of
some of its most potent arguments in the
past. In 1896 there was a great deal said
| about the panic. The Democratic party
was charged with having brought about
| I no T toll that within
the last year the Republican party has be-
come an active competitor with the DEM
| ocratic party on the subject OF panics.
and they are no longer able to say that
they can guarantee immunity from pam
| les. Yet with the record of the last 40
years. which shows that of the three pam
| les which came, two of them came When
| the Republican party was in complete
power and after Republican victories, and
| the third Immediately after a Republican
| administration; and yet they still have
| the presumption to talk of panics.'
At Frankfort Mr.. Bryan said he was
glad he had Mr.. Kern for 4 running mate
and expected the voters of Indiana to
show their appreciation of the action of
the Denver convention by giving her
electoral votes to Kern land Kerns part
ncr on the ticket" On the train among
the subjects considered was the chair
manship of the subcommittee that will
manage the campaign in the East but
Mr.. Bryan and Chairman Mack positive
ly announced that no one had been de-
termined upon and would not be until re-
ports had been received to all leaders
which had been sent to several persons
asking their views regarding the appoint
ment.
