BRYAN AND HIS PLEDGES. | , Mr. Bryan’s speech of acceptance in th columns of The World to-day, a fact un n Mr. Roosevelt's advent, most public documents and State papers have become verbose and wearisome, In this utterance Mr. Bryan calls Presi as his chief witnesses against the Republican party. | + both in support of the charge that plutocracy and privilege ascendency over the people. He shows that the executive 4 . lative departments have been in the hands of the Republicans for years. He notes the refusal of Congress to act upon the President's suggestions and he dwells upon the failure of the Chicago Convention to respond to similar appeals for reform. In conclusion he fixes responsibility upon the party for failure to enforce existing laws and neglect to enact new laws for the correction of the evils complained of, The speech is comparatively short. It is for the most part In gen- eral terms. Its theme is “Shall the People Rule?” Its obvious motiv 4s to transfer to himself and the Democratic party the popular st which the Roosevelt policies have received, While it assails Repu ism with vigor, it has no word of criticism for the President. It Clever bid for the votes of Roosevelt Republicans as well as for the v of Democrats. Three reasons are advanced by Mr. Bryan for the failure of reform measures under this Administration, even when advocated by the Presi- dent: (1) The Republican party as an organization has drawn its cam- paign funds from the beneficiaries of privilege; it has sold legislation and immunity to favored interests, and it has naturally refused to provid for publicity in the matter of campaign contribut i] expenditures, (2) The Republican Senate of the United States, the very citadel cf privilege and plunder, has resolutely refused to pass the resolution for an amendment to the Constitution permitting the election of Senators by the people. (3) The Republican party, through the Jespot ; Speaker and the rules governing the House of Representa'ives, has made | that body a creature of the interests rather than a servant of the people. aqme, Legitimate and proper as this arraignment of Republicanism mus!

In some respects it resem a Roosevelt message to Congress, It leaves the Impressio t Roosevelt has been in the right at all times; that hls polis wise and just; that his methods have been correct, and that have resulted through no fault of his own, That is not the case. There can be no true estimate of the wrongs, follies and disasters that are to be forever associated with this Administration which does not take Int the fullest account the personal responsibility of the President. Probably the favor thus shown to Mr. Roosevelt accounts for the astonishing fact that in all of Mr. Bryan’s 5,000 and more words the word “extravagance,” the word “retrenchment’’ and the phrase ‘waste ) ent Roosevelt and Mr. Tatt = FUNDS fe CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS e of the trl y; World Daily Magazine, Thursday 9 meas Another Panic.

Such an oversight would be consid- ered extraordinary and unprecedented in a leader of any Opposition, and it is emphatically so in the leader of a Democratic Opposition to crazy Republican profiigacy at Washington, What would Tilden have sald under such provocation? What oratorlcal thunderbolts would Gladsto $n opposition, have hurled at a ministry having such a record? The figures were before Mr. Bryan, as they are in possession of every intelligent voter. We now have $2,000,000,0c0 Congresses— Congresses that increase salaries, thelr own Included, as well as appro- priations generally in an era of panle and depression. The last four years of Rooseveltism has cost the country $3,428,000,000, or $33,- 900,000 more than was expended during four years of civil war. Even distinguished Republicans like the late Senator Allison, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, and Mr, Tawney, Chalrman of the House Committee on Apvropriations, did not hesitate in The World's anniversary edition to direct public attention to these astounding extray- as s.
