BRYAN ON ISSUES OF 1900.
Declares that the Money Qncstion Will Be the Issue. Col. W. J. Bryan arrived in Washington from Savannah. In an interview concerning the Democratic issues of 1990, he said: “I should say the money question, undoubtedly. I believe the Chicago platform stiil embodies the sentiments of the mass of the American people. I can see no reason for a popular change of mind on any of the issues defined in the last national platform. The fact that people are talking about the war does not necessarily indicate that they have abandoned former ideas which have no reference to the war. People can discuss matters of temporary interest without forgetting their political views and abandoning their political principles.”
