Bribed by Prosperity.

Mr. Bryan went to Salem, 111., the other day and his remarks there have called forth the following letter from a Chicago mao: Chicago, HI.. Oct. 1. 1900. To M. A. Hanna, Chairman Republican National Committee: Dear Sir—l notice in Mr. Bryan’s Salem speech that be say* "The Republicans are going to buy every vote that can be bonght and bribe every toter that can be bribed,” etc. That interests me, and from my very humble walk In life I must confess I have been bribed myself. The three years of, unparalleled prosperity has bought my vote. Call it what you please,* but 1 guess that is abont all the bribery them need be in this eampaigo. G. S. 0. Ttving Park, 111.
