Berry as Bryanite.

eve must recognize in Mr. Berry
the only conspicuous representative of
Mr.. Bryan and his policies now before
the people of this state. To every pol
icy advocated by the Nebraskan he
has given loyal allegiance. But Mr..
Bryan has practically ceased to be a
figure of national importance. and this
is due to the fact that all of his So
called policies have been defeated and
repudiated by the American people.
''As Mr. Bryan has been repudiated,
so do ! believe Pennsylvania will re-,
fuse to give his lieutenant, Mr.. Berry.
| the support he asks. His speeches
| upon the stump create sincere doubt
as to his soundness and safety, and
the belief arises that he is not fitted,
| either by temperament or judgment,
| to preside over the destinies of this
| great commonwealth. There is an alb
| sence of self-pose of self-control in
his speech, and of good temper, which
are essential to the great responsible
ties of chief magistrate.
wide latitude is permitted in the
arena of political discussion, but sure
ly Mr.. Berry has passed the danger
limit, and, as result, we find the air
| filled with confusing explanations of
his business relations with leading
Democratic politician, none of which
seem to be borne out by the facts, and
this is followed by an Incorporate de-
nunciation of the public press with
out exception. He not only condemns
it as destitute of patriotism and vir-
tue, but proceeds to pass judgment
upon all the newspaper men of the
| state, and without mercy joyfully con
signs them to be burned at the stake
Such a cruel and barbarous punish
ment is prohibited by the constitu
ton, but this does not seem to matter
to Mr.. Berry-apparently he would like
to be present at the hoped-for event
and play the part of chief torch-bearer
at the ceremonies.
These things which an attentive
public has learned, together with the
astonishing statement that, because of
his discovery of the capitol frauds. he
was compelled to have bodyguard
in constant attendance about his per-
son in order to prevent his assassina-
tion-something which has hitherto
been unknown to any one, with per
haps the exception of Mr.. Berry
strongly indicate that one of such ex-
citable temperament and susceptible
to such beliefs, practices and delusions
is not the kind of a man that this
state is entitled to have for governor.

eminently satisfactory.
What we need in the high Office of
governor and the other Offices to be
filled in this election is calmness, not
impulsiveness, judgment of men and
affairs that is broadened and ripened
by experience-a just conception of
the powers of government, a keen and
sympathetic appreciation of the rights
of the citizen, and a comprehensive
idea of the manifold interests and ele-
ments that enter into the complex life
of this great commonwealth Above
all, we need a man safe and sure, and
the Republican party has risen equal
to the demand.
I'VE have named as the candidate
for governor a man with a true heart,
with a sound brain in a sound body,
who has toiled in the workshop and in
the mills and is in strong and lasting
sympathy with labor; who step by step
moved forward and identified himself
with the business enterprises of his
section, where he has attained a posi-
ton which commands the undivided
respect of those who love honesty and
believe in genuine manhood; who has
| represented his district in the con
gress of the United States ably and
faithfully; whose reputation for integ.
rity is of the highest, and whose Re,
publicanism has always been of the
right kind; who is in accord and sym.
pathy with the policies of the Stuart
administration, and who has promised
the people that when governor he will
esteem it privilege and duty to con
duct the state government N accord
ance with those policies
