Bryan’s Cross

Asked if he would sup- < port traction of the I Joni ocra tic national convention if it should fail to put free silver in the plats o r m, William J. Bryan answered: “SO HFLP ME GOD I WILL DIE IN MY TRACKS BEFORE I WILL SUPPORT IT.” This was in a speech , at -•Jackson, Alias. June 11, 1895, and was in reply to a direct question by Judge Braame. Mr. Bryan made similar declara- ■ tion at other places. As his Triends say they will make a cross his campaign device, the Cour i e r - Journal of- * fers them this one. —Louisville Courier Journal (Dem-)
