STILL RUNNING AWAY.

A dispatch from Chicago to the Indianapolis News of Sept. 1. says: A man who is high in the councils of the Republican party said today: "If we had. to fight out the campaign on the issues Bryan has raised— tariff reform, publicity of campaign contributions. regulation of the trusts, guaranty of. bank deposits, etc —we would, I believe, stand to lose. But we intend to put those issues in the background by making Bryan himself the real issue. We think we can convince the people that the election of Mr. Bryan would prolong the present financial -situation. We shall make our appeal to every man, whether he be at the head of a corporation or be working for a corporation, that if he wants to see prosperity return he must vote the Republican ticket.” Well, the Republicans may as well understand that they will have a mighty hard time putting "those issues in the background.” All of them are going to stay in the foreground, where they will be seen and felt. But Democrats do not object to Republicans making Bryan an additional issue if they feel like it. The Democratic party can win on Bryan alone, and do 't hands down. But when the Repub”.cans say that “the election of Mr. an would prolong the present financM situation” the country will ask who caused the present financial situation.” And when they go to talking about wanting "to see prosperity raturn” they will have~tb explain who it was that caused prosperity to go.
