They were led to believe that the magnates and monopolies who coerced the voters In 1896 and supplied an enormous campaign fund In both 1898 nnd 1900 would help the Democratic party if our perty would only be Ism radical. The corporation preea elded In this deception, nnd erre the Republican papers professed an unselfish desire to help build up the Democratic party. The election hM opened the eyes of hundreds of thousands of honest and well meaning Democrats who, a few munths ago, favored the reorganisation of the party. These mm now see that they either go Into the ths Republican party or join with Democrats of the west and south In making the Democratic party a positive, aggressive and progressive reform organization. 'There Is no middle ground. Mr. Bryan did what be could to pro-vsthe reorganisation of the Democratic party; when he failed In this he did what he could to aid Parker and Davis In order to secure reforms and there were aeveral pomised by their election.
