The New York American prints the following

10 me EdfE0r OF Inc american:
81 Sir editorial in issue of The American in
which you vigorously oppose Mr. Bryan by Mr.
Wilson as his secretary Of state.
your would like express the columns Of
opinion which differs from yours not in
gard Bryan regard the propriety Of Mr.
: Wilson selecting Mr.. Bryan
It undoubtedly the right the duty Of any newly
president organize his cabinet
his plans accordance with what he HIMSELF
for the his administration of his
party of his country.
!, Mr. Wilson has certainly received sufficiently large popu
him ordinary privileges
of the president.
!, 1t would to be the duty of good Democrats
fact of good citizens generally irrespective of party to
Wilson in of his judgment and
efforts until may prove that his
efforts the the party and the
country
Mr. Wilson believes that Mr. Bryan any other
the country cabinet position he should be
allowed select that without the nteposon of any
necessary objections obstacles part Democrats
and good citizens
Mr. Wilson will be held responsible for the success
mnstraion and he entitled exercise every proper
and to invite aid to make his administration
cessful
question of whether Bryan would really
vantage to opinion Viii
sons opinion is the which is of chief Importance
While the of entitled entertain opinions
should not think them time in to
Mr. Wilson undue embarrassment
For my part personally hold exactly the opinions
you have expressed Mr. Byans visionary character of
mind and also of his weknown sefhnes and ngrattude
realize that Mr. Bryan has made speciality of sacrificing
the altar of his ambitions | realize
that he has sacrificed his party several occasions by subs
ung his personal fads fances for the and
cepted principles of the progressive
STILL feel that Mr. Bryan has in the main, exercised
powerful influence in the direction of radical reform
and that such influence possibly be of peculiar ad
vantage in the forthcoming Democratic administration
It that Mr.. Bryan has been elected president
of the occasions that he has for that office and
probably that he not qualified and that the people do
not believe him to be qualified, for executive position
Still that does that he might extremely
uabe advisory capacity The need of this country
udicious radcasm and combination might be exceedingly
advisable in which Mr. Wilson would furnish the judgment
Mr. Bryan the radicalism.
There is another point relation this question which
may be of interest Importance which
Wilson consider and which blame him for
siderng.
Champ of the people in the vast ma
o of in which popular primaries had held before
the Baltimore convention.
Champ Clark would certainly nominated by
Baltimore convention Mr. Bryan crafty his his
ambitions had merfered and induced the defeat of Champ
Clark
Whether not as an object OF Mr. Bryans activity but
certainly a result of it, Mr. Wilson nominated.
If Mr.. Wilson had not been nominated, certainly he
would have been elected Mr. may therefore,
very properly nomination and his election
in good part TO Mr.. Bryan
may naturally feel therefore that gratitude as well as
public policy, requires the selection Bryan
commendable sentiment of gratitude rare in politicians no
iudicious person find fault
generally Mr. Bryan is willing to serve
his country capacity which he be found
and is further understood Bryan that he
could render his best service administration and the
country secretary Of the treasury.
If Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Bryan accord in this matter
and convinced that Mr. Bryans capacity
will be of value to the nation will the success of
the administration rest of us Democrats
should accept this view OF the situation with the best pos
be and do best to facilitate and further
administration of which pasans and as
patriotic citizens deeply desire
