Bryan's questions on these points, as l" will gladly answer any question hi can put, or meet any issue he can rnise with me.

"Second Will he refuse to accept the electoral votes of Xorth Carolina: be- I cause obtained without the consent of the governed, and will he now at once denounce the action of his party associates as-sociates who helped to nominate him, for establishing by tho constitution in North Carolina the doctrine that one man is good enough to govern another without his consent? "Third Will he denounce his party associates in Congress who voted June 1st, last, that the national government should not be given the power to control con-trol trusts? He says that all trusts are bad; will ho denounce as ftypoeritic his party associates' who support him on that platform, and yet themselves are beneficiaries of the cotton bale, whisky and ice trusts? "This question is not to bo met by saying that there are trusts' in which Republicans are interested. "'!;e point it.- a qnpst'on of good faith, or of hypocrisy. hy-pocrisy. If all trusts are as 1 pd as he represents, then what right has he to be supported and accept the support of Senator Jones and Mr. Croker, who, to public denunciation of tnjsts, add private membership in them?"- |
