Show MR. BRYAN ON THE STUMP. Mr. Bryan is on the stump in Colorado; he gives aa an excuse for suspending his opinion on silver and supporting Judge Parker, that he loves peace oven more than silver. Ho is in mortal fear of President Roosevelt, he is sure that the President so loves power and military achievements achieve-ments that he is dangerous. In the proposition to increase the army to reasonable proportions, he sees a deep design to supply Jhe means through which capital can carry out its contemplated oppression of the laboring men of this country. He looked upon the Filipino aa upon a long lost brother and cannot sleep nights until the national promise is given him that he shall be free and have his country to himself just so soon as he is able to occupy and control it He says this nation does not want to have the preetlga of being physically able to take care of itself, but what the people yearn for is to establish a moral status so high tbat the world will be awed at the spectacle. Mr. Bryan is getting to be pretty much of a scold, ha is still smarting under the snub that he got at St Louis, he is supporting Judge Parker, but if he was not a religious man, he would wish every morning when he gets up and every evening even-ing when ho retires that Judge Parker was dead. Notwithstanding his religion we suspect that he wishes l)ave Hill was dead any way. He knows he is talking through his hat when he intimates that President Roosevelt ia not as moral a force as ever occupied the White House; to show how badly he is rattled he is talking moral suasion to the men of Colorado who from the beginning depended more on their muscle and on their revolvers re-volvers to carry their points than on all the churches in Denver and Colorado Springs. Mr, Bryan Is not making any votes for Mr. Parker and we suspect that if he thought he was he would be sorry. Mr. Bryan will be exceedingly glad when election day comes and after election, if the Democratic party is successful, he will begin be-gin to raise the duce immediately in the homo ranch; if it Is unsuccessful, he will climb the highest liberty pole in Nebraska and shout, "Didn't I tell you so." |
