Show MR. BRYAN. Mr. Bryan nmst hav become offended at some-Ihine some-Ihine lately. His assailing of his brother Dem v crats in congress because they have decided that a small tariff nn wool Is the proper thing, his denunciation de-nunciation of the chief justice of the supreme court ot the United States, all indicate that he is angry i . v : - i .l... i . nnuui amiviuiji. .'w u ia rr?friTx inni nr rrur inly in-ly naid. "I am not a rantiidfite and will not a he a candidate fop president. Leave me out of it.' We never heard Mr. Bryan a veracity doubted, and if he haa made that remark, he meant it. There will be no May to get him to be a candidate under thone ' circumstance rxeept for afimponer tr? sprmif tip in-convention in-convention and nominate him and carry the convention con-vention by atorm for him, which is not probable, bemuse, he haa been three times a candidate for president and failed eath time. The country nv knowg the full extent of his ability as an orator and a atategman, and there is no probability of a sudden stampede for him. At tho same time he can be of preat help or great harm to hie 'party, and while it is not. probable, it ia just possible that his position will make him in spite of himself .1 Populist candidate for president, although wo do not believe, he would run against a regular Democratic Demo-cratic candidate. The fact about Mr. Bryan is that ht haa always been a little Topulistic in his ideas, lie has done more perhaps to lift the Democrtti.r party out of the old blue grooves than any other man or combination of men. At the name time we do not think he would do anything to hurt the chanres of the party'a succeeding. If he would gt his head Wck right on the financial system and then take the nomination as Populist he vo ild have a chance to win, because the country is get-ling get-ling very tired of the way everything else is legislated legis-lated upon except tnat financial system which hjs been the cause of more sorrow to the peopl of the Cnited States, more sorrow and more loss than' any-' thing that lias happened since the last gun of the great rebellion grew still. |
