GOLD FACTION FOREVER Nebraskan Thinks They Would Refuse Senator’s Platform Unless they Named Nominee. Neb., week’s issue of the will be published to-morrow, contains an editorial by William J. Bryan in which the Nebrascan reviews the recent interview with Senator George Graham Vest contained in the Kan- sas City Times. The Nebraskan’s comment is given herewith in full: The kK City Times recently published an interview given out by Senator Vest of Missouri. It is not necessary at this time to answer his criticism of Mr. Bryan’s part in the ratification of the treaty. The read- ers of the Commoner are familiar with the reasons which led Mr. Bryan to prefer to have the war terminated 22.—This which Aug Commoner, Lincoln, Salsas Missourian Wants LOST. lulists advocate, never has beer | indorsed by a democratic nationa {platform.

Jefferson was the deadly enemy of bank issue, and and the independence of the Philip- pines secured through the action of this country rather than continue the war and risk international com- plication in an effort tocompel Spain to do what we could more easily do ourselves. Neither is it necessary to discuss what he says in condemna- tion of Mr. Bryan's leadership. He only claims the right to victions and to express them: if other have con- people have like convictions, he will have company, if not, he will be alone. Some one has defined a leader as ‘one who is going the same direction as the people and a little bit ahead.’ Mr. Bryan believes in the principles set forth in the KansasCity platform and is not willing to surrender them in order to win theapproval of those who oppose those principles. When the democratic party repudiates those principles, it will find itself go- ing in another direction—with Cleve- land, Carlisle, Whitney, Francis, et al. ‘a little bit ahead.’ VESTS PLATFORM IS ALL RIGHT. “Senator Vest outlines a platform which is good as far as it goes. (Here Mr. Bryan quotes Senator Vest’s platform and his comments thereon, as heretofore published in Tue TmMeEs.) INCOME TAX NOT A HARMONIZER, The income tax is all right, but it would be easier to secure a uniform rate than a graded one. Mr. Vest will find, however, that the income tax is not a harmonizing issue. Mr. Hill fought the income tax, Mr. Cleveland was opposed to it and nearly all the gold men are as hostile to it as they are to free silver. Mr. Vest emphasizes the trust issue but that is not a harmonizing issue either, for the financial influences stand behind the trust as solidly as they do behind the banks. The New York Sun is already declaring that free silver would do but little dam age compared {with the widespread demoralization which would be pro- duced by effective anti-trust legisla- tion. The of imperialism is rightly included among the issues— in fact, its importance cannot be overstated. Mr. Vest isright in say- ing that the election of 1900 can not be considered a settlement of the question of imperialism, but why does Senator Vest try to drive away the allies who are willing to help us secure allneeded reforms? Why does he prefer gold democrats who sup ported the republican ticket to pop- ulists who supported the democratic ticket? He says: ‘We must stop hunting around in corners and up canons for populists and go back to the doctrine of Mr. Jefferson, upon which alone we can achieve victory.’ The senator should be a little more detinite. To what plank does he question yet the senator's planform is. silent on this question If the silver question is going to be important again, why turn the party over to the reorganizers and allow them to aid the republicans in mak- ing the silver dollar redeemable in gold? The senator is anxious to secure ‘harmony,’ but he will find that there can be no harmony without the sur- render of every essential principle of The men who voted the on account of the rule, opposed and are also op- democracy . republican ticket silver plank are, as a to the income tax posed to any effective anti-trust leg- They are in favor of na- islation, tional banks of issue, and are also in favor of government by injunction (a subject which Senator Vest did not mention in his platform.) Even on imperialism many of the gold democrats have no fixed or definite convictions. In fact the only w. to harmonize with the reorganizers is to allow them to control the write a republican or- ganization and platform. How much is Senator Vest willing to give up in order to bring the gold corporationelement back? His plat- form is entirely too populistic to en- tice the deserters into the fold. Per- haps they might allow him to write the platform if they are permitted to select a candidate who will disregard the platform as Mr. Cleveland did.” LYNCHING RILES THE BLACKS. Negro Gathering at Chicago Comments on Peirce City Affair. Ill., Aug. to the second annual convention of the National Negro Business league, which is in in Handell hall, declare the lynching at Peirce City, Mo., an act of madness, an atrocity. The fact that within a few hundred miles of Chicago the citizens ofa town had proclaimed that no negro will be permitted hereafter to live or spend the night in the astonished the delegates. Booker T. Washington, of the league and leader vention, would not talk affair. He said it would be too dif- ficult to express himself, so that he would not be misunderstoed. “It is a disgrace to American civil- ization that such atrocities are com- mitted,” said Edward E. Cooper of Washington. “Look at the partici- pants as individuals—the black who committed a crime against a white Chicago, —Delegates session village president of the con- about the mitted a crime against blacks—do they not belong in the Senator Vest insists that he is still that the become but he is willing to aban- contains The republicans and gold democrats favor national bank notes while the democrats: favor #reen-1 Governor Dockery’s reply follows backs.

The clerical force of the Auditor’s office has had its time completely taken up with the work incident to the State Board of Equalization and other reg- ular duties. The Auditor assures me that as soon as the force is re- lieved of the stress of this important duty, the exhibit will be prepared.

The invitation heretofore extended the Globe-Democrat is now extended to you. I desire to state further in answer to your letter: First, that there will be no limitation to the proposed ex- amination as to its time or seope: second, that you can rely upon the aid and co-operation of all the State oftticials whom think you in accomplishing the most thor- ough invesigation. As I stated in my letter to the Globe-Democrat, if there has been any abuse of the public funds, or dis- honesty practiced in any of the de- partments, the people ought to know it. If there has been as I assert, an honest accounting of the public mon- eys on the part of the State officials, it is libelous upon the good name of the State forany newspaper te charge the contrary.
