ltats t b e l r chance o f success Is absolutely
gone and are terrified that tbe partnership
is to come to aa end. Mr. Bryan's spe­
cial organ, the Omaha World-Herald,
sottnd»*the note o f alarm in a recent edi­
torial In which it urges the continuance
o f the fusion between Democrats, silver
Republicans and Populists, saying: “ (Jet
together. That is good advice to the Pop­
ulists, silver Republicans and Democrats.
It mean's the selection of a silver man to
the United States Senate at tbe next
session o f the Legislature; it means a
solid phalanx o f silver followers in all
campaign* from now till 19Uflk It would i
be worse than folly for the Populists to
refuse to fuse with the silver Republi­
cans and Democrats at this time and the
disastrous results would extend -consid­
erably further than the local campaign.”

It Was a C ontest B etw een H on esty
and lzialioncaty.
The “ struggle” o f last year was not be­
tween “ the money power and the comuiou
people.” It nn* between the mass o f the
people and a combination of dishonest ras­
cals who wanted to rob millions of tbe
community by means o f cheap, cheating
silver dollars, to be made to apply retro­
actively on obligations incurred in bonest
dollars and for tbe payment o f future
wages of labor and—by tbe aid o f retroac­
tive legislation—for the payment of exist­
ing debts. The confidence operators whom
Bryan headed, in furtherance o f this vil-
luiuous scheme, wanted to establish de­
based silver monometallism—not bimetal­
lism so that all who bad loaned money,
or sold property on time, or had money on
deposit i□ banks might be done out o f half
their dues. That was the game for which
Bryan made his (100 speeches.
Bryan knew (hat the silver monometal­
lism he advocated and mist-ailed “ bimet­
allism” would involve this wholesale
cheating all over the Union, but he did
not dare to justify or admit it publicly.
He made hundreds of harangues during
the campaign ¡ d all parts of the Union,
and he has made still more speeches since
bis overwhelming defeat, and has written
a big book since then, putting them into
type, hut lie has never dared to avow the
purpose and effect o f bis retroactive
scheme o f wholesale repudiation and vio­
lation of rxisting contracts and pecuniary
obligations.—Chicago Tribune.
