millions of other Democrats have done. We can not see in this nomination any hope, says the New York American Democrat.We are hound to add, with regret, that we have lost confidence in W. J. Bryan, who, by well*manipulated boss-ship, has compelled this nomination. It is a fact that the people of the country have absolutely nothing to say in regard to the nomination or the platform. ..The platform adopted by the Democratic party is nothing but a compromise between the absolute will of Bryan and that willingness on Bryan’s part to dicker with his own principles recently made known to the public.

A platform is a promise to perform; and a platform made by the Democratic party and indorsed by Mr. Bryan is not worth the paper it is written on. The Democratic party has become a weathercock of what its inferior leaders imagine to be the expression of public opinion. It reflects supinely the corporation instinct and servility of a Parker and is ready at the next moment to reflect the half-baked ill-matured opinions of some imaginary radical.The Democracy of Bryan and Taggart and the others’ with its changing principles, its shifting platform and its chameleon candidates, is not the Democracy of Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, who lived by his principals and stood by them.UNPARDONABLE SINBridegroom Criticized Brids's Biscuits Then Separation Came.prise for him in honor of the occasion.
