Ohio Democrats Criticised 'ir Filing
to Reaffirm Kansas City Plank.
Money Question Not Yet Dead.
Nominees of Convention EndorsnW.
Lincoln, Neb.. July 16. In extended
comment on the platform adopted by
tho Ohio Democratic convention, w.
J. Bryan criticises the convention for
Its failure id realBrm the Kansas city
plat form and for what he regards aa
the weakness of some of the plonks
It did adopt, Mr Bryan m ists that
the ronventlon made a mistake In mak
ing himself an Issue, aud says:
"Mr. Bryan is not a candidate for
any offle . and :i mention f him might
have been construed by some as an
endorsement of him for office. The
vote should have b.-en upon the nuked
proposition la endorse the platform of
last year, aud then no one could have
excused his abandonment of Demo
cratic principles by pleading his dis
like for Mr Bryan "
Referring to the platform he con
tinues The convention HOI only fail
ed, but refused to endorse or reaffirm
the Kansas City platform, and, from
the manner In which the gold element
has rejoiced over this feature of the
convention, one would suppose that
the main object of the convention wns
not to write a new platform, but 'o re
pudiate the one upon which the last
national campaign was fought. The
gold papers assume that the conven
tion refused to adopt the Kansas City
platform because it contained a silver
plunk If so. it would have been umro
courageous to have declared openly for
the gold standard if the eld standard
is good. It ought to bave been endorsed
if bad. it ought to have been de
nounced. To ignore the subject en
tirely w as Inexcusable,
"The money question Is not yet out
of politics. Every session of congress
will have to deal with it. Republicans
declare that it Ib dead, but they keep
working at it."
Mr. Rryan comments on parts of the
platform, especially those referring to
state and municipal affairs. He en
dorses the nominees of the convention
and urges their support.
Referring to the beuatorial fight and
the reported candidacy of John R. Mc
Lean he says: "Did the leaders Ignore
the money question in order to please
those who bolted? Or does Mr. Mo
Lean want to be left free to affiliate
with the Republican financial ques
tions in case of his election?"
He concludes as follows: 'if any of
the Ohio Democrats feel aggrieved be
cause the re organizing element of the
primaries next time rather than at the
convention."
