No Substitute. [PEs Democratic newspapers are discussing who shall take Bryan's place. Why should any- one take it? Why should anyone want it? It is his, and he fits it. Let him keep it. = —sé«WWiht the party needs — ; is not a new man to occupy Bryan’s place, but a new man who will make a place for himself. Bryan never filled any- body’s place; not Cleveland's, not Tilden's, not Van Buren’s, nor Jack- son's, nor Jefferson’s. He fixed up a place for himself, out cf oratory, free silver and populism, adding anti-expansion when that came into style. It is important that he should be encouraged to take that place home with him and keep it there. The Democracy doesn’t need it. Fl Gaga : How did you enjoy your visit to the preacher? Jumpupre: Fine.
