"What reasonable man u ho lias kept tab on Watson does not know he hates the Democratic party, just as lie hates everything end everybody he can not . control and bend to his will? The se ’ cret of his antipathy to Bryan is that Bryan hi- kept himself straight with the Democratic party, instead of hat ing. stabbing and deserting it as Wat son has done.
