1890 Boilers And 1910 Bryan

Criticism or Mr. Bryan for bolting
his party comes with poor grace
from those who did iIenticalIy the
same thing in 1896. The pot mah es
itself ridiculous by sneeringly de-
scribing the kettle as black. Rich
mond Journal.
No; 1t is the kettle that makes
itself Ridiculous for doing the thing
1t abused the pot for doing. In
other words, the kettle justifies and
vindicates the pot for all IL did in
1896. Petersburg IndeX-Appeal.
Our impression is that our neigh
Dor was not part of the 1896" pot :"
that he stood by the Democratic
nominee, MI. Bryan. The Journal
was not in existence at that time, but
the writer of this has an easily prov
able record of party loyalty In that
eventful year. Therefore, neither OF
us can be embarrassed personally by
discussion of the point at issue.
The Journal contends that il the
1896 bolters were right i'm boiling,
they cannot say Mr.. Bryan is wrong
now.
( the 1896 boilers says Bryan Is
wrong now-and criticise him-they
admit that they were wrong i'm bolt
ing in 1869.
There is no difference of principle
invovled, or. il so, the difference is
in Bryan's favor, for his bolt grows
out OF relation TO moral question,
that properly has no place in party
politics, whereas the 1896 boilers
offered no better excuse than failure
to agree with an economic principle
laid down by the party in that
year.
The 1896 Palmer-Buckner men
must confess that they were wrong
in bolting in that year, if they ar
que that Bryan is wrong i'm boiling
i'm 1910.
And hence, The Journal insists,
the "pot" stultiGes itself when il
calls the kettle black. The only ex-
planation OF rejoicing from that
source that logically appears would
seem to grow out OF the feeling in
that camp that they were right.
But If they were right, Bryan GER
tainly cant be wrong. Richmond

STUART KIND TO
HIS NE|CHRORS
Has Helped the Poor, Wild
ows, and Helped to Build
Schools and Churches.
Bear WaIIow, September 9.

Bear Wallow, Septem ber %.
Editor The News II have care
fully read and reread and read again
the poem from the great poet at
Richalnds, styled, "StauTt VS.. The
Poor Man." L now have this to saw :
[ have known III. &. Stuart all my
life, lived adjoining his farm for n
number of years and have never
heard a tenant OF his gIumble at any
act OF his. When my father fell and
broke his arm away down here
among the mountains of Buchanan
on receipt OF the news Henry
Stuart sent him money. When my
fathers only horse died few years
ago Mr. Stuart sent him a horse,
bride and asddle. When Mr.. Stuart
was in Buchanan last July he gave
the widow of the late Joseph Hib-
bits twenty-five dollars; he has
donated hundreds OF dollars of cash
to the building of churches in Buch-
an an county.
His farm has furnished q home
and board for many poor man
when panics had stopped Slemp's
coal mines from operation, for he
raised his grain and cattle the same
during panics as he did in prosperi-
ty. L would love for the poet TO
tell us how Bascom and the poor
man gets along Wonder if he would
tell how the poor postmaster has to
give portion OF his money each
year to the SIemp campaign fund?
Would he have anything to tell OF
Bascom's open beartedness? There
are no churches in Buchanan county
that owe Bascom anything for their
existence. No widows cares have
been made lighter or her wants less
by Mr.. Siemp's generosity? Where
does he get on?
Who is Charles Mutter? Let's ex-
anime the poem of which he is the
accredited author. He says in 'S6
he voted for Jospeh Gillespie. Mr..
Gillespie was a candidate for the
State senate, and state elections al
ways come on odd years, so we see
he muttered one falsehood there. He
says it was in August when he was
sent away from that "lovely" gar
den. Was the election held in Au-
gust? No, they always come Off in
November. Then, he voted foI Mr..
Gillespie in November and the next
August Mr.. Stuart discharged him
from his farm. He wanted time to
discharge him. Who believes his
story? No one believes it-not even
the "poet" himself.
W. Nj. Grimsley.
