Fitzgerald, Bryan rushes in where

statement that l am not represen-
tative of my party would have come
with better grace if made when my

the incidents of my ten years of
service in the house to justify his
assertion. If Bryan means that l
am not representative of my party,
as democracy has been understood
and professed by him, l do not chal
tenge his statement. My beliefs

racy of those men who twice made
Cleveland's election possible.
