Transfer For The Peerless.

Texas republican writes up braiding letter to
the San Antonio Express because of its criticisms of Mr.
Bryan and declares that if the dem longer
the peerless leader for their guide and philosopher the
republicans will take him and lido just what the ranks
and file of the democrats have done-follOw him. In
the name of the republican party this Texan not only
ders the transfer to be- made but guarantees have Mr.
Bryan elected president q republican He described
the distinguished Nebraskan the greatest of his
time, the like of whom is be found in the G. o. p
This is, indeed, nice, and in behalf of friend
and neighbOr of Nebraska bow proud acknowledge
ment of the compliment. And now let the ancient adj
age be paraphrased to read: "A prophet is not without
honor in his political party. In all serious
this Texas republican, who he travelled all
the land and considers himself good Judge of political
conditions, adds:
Put Bryan a end train platform and start
would draw three times the number of people to hear him
almost every mar, and child has seen him

has such hold on the people that. 1t might not
be mpertnent observe that Bryan has gone the
country several times and friend says has drawn
immense thrOng by the magic of his elOquence but
Mr.. Bryan himself later discovered all who turned
to hear him speak voted for him. And yet while
agreeing with the pro- Bryan Texan to the lack of
great in the republican party, cannot help but
admit that if Mr. Bryan should go the country
a republican he would might poll votes than a
democrat.
But how does it come that these Texans presume to
do the giving away of own MIR. Bryan? If any of
