PRESS COMMENT ON I1KYAN.
"Still the head of a rabble , half fanat
ical , half demagogic. " N. Y.
"Recent light on his character hns
shown him to bo a man who , if elected
president , will do his honest utmost in
that office to ward the appalling damage
which his theories contemplate. " N. Y.
"This silver plank seems to be an act
of political delirium or insanity. " N.Y.
"The weakest candidate on the wick
edest platform that has been offered to
the American people by any leading
party. " N. Y.
"The practical politicians are dumb
founded at the prospect of another los
ing fight over a dead issue. " Phila.
'The same combination of greed , dis
content , opposition to all law and order ,
and craving to profit by another's indus
try as was seen in 1896. " Phila.
"That prospect ( of victory ) is dissi
pated by the revival of an issue that
brought about one great democratic dis
aster and as surely will bring about
another. " Wilmington , Del.
' Events at Kansas City have shown
that 1C to 1 has lost its charms for many
who had some liking for it when it was
alive. " Washington , D. 0.
"The silver issue will be worked for all
it is worth by the republicans , while it
will be worth precious little to the dem
ocrats. ' ' Baltimore.
"It is logical , of course , for Bryan to
insist on his quack doctrine about diver ,
but it is also suicidal. " Hartford ,
Conn.
"It would have been cheaper to hold
no convention and to have Mr. Bryan
announce the whole thing from his en
larged front porch. " Concord , N. H.
"The democratic party today repre
sents nothing except one man and his
notions. " Chicago.
"The most despotic leader of a party
who has yet appeared in this country is
W. ,1. Bryan. " St. Louis.
"The republican party is under lasting
obligations to Mr. Bryan for fastening
the millstone around the neck of his
unhappy following. " Kansas City.
"The party went blindly to its fate
then ( in 1800) ) ; it goes now open-eyed ,
and because of its domination by one
man. " St. Paul.
"It is a platform of bugaboos of hyp
ocritical pretenses of froth and wind. "
St. Paul.
"The public smote Bryan and his
party hips and thigh in 1896 for propos
ing an imposture. Ho proposes to offer
the same swindle this year. " Minne
apolis.
"Mr. Bryan has proved himself at
once bigger and narrower than his
pary. " Detroit.
"It is a striking illustration of the de
cline of the democratic party. " Omaha.
TRUSTS AND DEMOCRATS.
The Hon. James K. Jones of Arkan
sas and the democratic national com
mittee is about to go through the
motions of conducting a campaign
against the trusts. It is depressing to
have to say that the Hon. James K.
Jones is in fhe all-enfolding tentacles of
the octopus and not struggling the least
bit to get away.
Mr. Jones is said to bo a stockholder
in the Eonnd Bale Cotton trust. It is
admitted in the south that the round
bale is better and cheaper than the
square bale. Consequently the round
bale trust makes the southern cotton
planters anxious. According to the
Houston correspondent of the Globe-
Democrat the round bale trust is now
trying to get ' 'practical control of the
south's cotton crop. " Officially Chair
man Jones is hot against trusts. As a
democrat he froths at the mouth when
they are mentioned. As a private citi
zen and a man of business ho buys a
good trust stock when he has the price.
Probably most of the shrewd and en
ergetic citizens who are members of the
democratic national committee or of the
various state committees have a finger
in the trust pie. Why should they not ?
They might as well be expected not to
