The following from the Hartford
Times is doubtless a true story, because
the views here given with regard to Mr. I
Bryan's aecond nomination and its con-
sec|ue-.ices were not uncommon among
many good Democrats throughout the
country at that time. Here is the story,
as given by the Times :
"George V. Menzias, one of the Indi-
an i delegates at largo to the Kansas
City convention two years ago, and a
pronnuoed gold man, gives out an inter
view, in which he gives some of the in-
s.do facts of the Becond nomination of
William J. Bryan, showing that Rich-
ard Oroker defeated David B. Hill of
Now York, for membership on the reso
lutions oommittee at Mr. Bryan’s in
stance, and that Mr. Croker advocated
the plank indorsing free silver as a
means of getting rid of Mr. Bryan and
his policies forever. He predicted that
Mr. Bryan would be a badly defeated
man and that "then we will be rid of
him and all his fool policies. He will
have votes enough in the convention to
nominate him.” Baid .Mr. Oroker, "and
I believe the platform should be of his
own making. He has no earthly show
of election. If we do anything at all
not in accordance with the wishes of
Mr. Bryan, he and his friends will say
that if he had had his way he would
have been elected.” Mr. Croker then
called in Judge Van Wyck and repeated
practically what he had said. The In
diana delegates afterward waited upon
Judge Van Wyck in an etl ort to get him
to oppose the 16 to 1 plank, but he re
plied that Mr. Croker had expressed his
sentiments and those of every New Y ork
politician. Mr. Oroker afterward raid
to Menzies, when discussing the plat
form : "I believe Bryan should be given
all the rope he wants to hang himself
with, for it surely will be a hanging.”
It was generally felt when the con
vention assembled at Kansas City in
1!K)0, that Mr. Bryan was determined
either to rale or wreck the Democratic
party, and as the prosptets for winning
under any circumstances were some
what remote, it was thought by many
not to be an unwise plan to give Mr
Bryan a free hand. He absolutely dom
inated tho convention, dictated its plat
form and then had his little'‘run for his
money.” While that relieved a then
present difficulty, it is doubtful if it was
the wise thing to do. It would seem to
have been far better to have faced the
situation frankly and made the tight at
that time rather than to have accepted
the devious views of the Tammany
spoilsman and only postponed the day
of trouble. However, the story reprint
ed from tho Hartford newspaper is in
teresting in that it gives a probably
correct account of the mistaken motives
that prompted the entire subserviency
of a great body of distinguished Demo
crats to the imperious dictates of a single
man.
»ioo REWARD, $ too.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Care is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is taken Internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucons surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying tho founda
tion of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building np the consti
tution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer one Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to core. Bend for list of
testimonials.
