The Bryan Free Silver Faction.

The Bryan faction of free silver advocates who propose to fight for free silver, 16 to 1, within the ranks of the democratic party will meet disaster. The democratic party is not a free silver party. It has a few free silver adherents In its ranks, but they are not of the class that control. If Mr. Bryan goes to the next democratic national convention with the hope of having it pronounce for free silver, he will be defeated and humiliated. There is a money influence that controls the democratic party, and it will as surely rule the next national convention as it assembles. What can a handful of free democrats do with an organized body of subservient tools, backed by the money power? Mr. Bryan will probably take a hint when he is kicked out of the party that he is not’ wanted in, and by which his free silver ideas are not to be indorsed. —Southern Mercury.
