THE TRANSCRIPT. —— a Issued Every Evening, Sundays Excepted, AT BEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, BROWN & CALEINS TERMS OF SUBSCHITTION : By “lait, : $6 Per Year By Carrier, 12 1-2¢ Per Week Delivered to any part of th tELRPHONE NO. 41. P. 0. BOX E SATURDAY .... SEPT. 29, 1900 —— Editorial Notes. William J. Bryan has exchanged his lecture called “What I Know About Wheat” for a new one entitled “What 1 Kuow About the Republic.” The Democrats in the South protect the suffrage of the illiterate white man “and disfranchise the educated colored man, and yet say it is not a question of color. Of the several nominees for the Presidency, Mr. Bryan is far the wealthiest, and he made all of bis money during the prospercus times brought about}. by the McKinley administration. At allevents Bryan can collect ma. terial for another book. But in place of calling it the Second Battle, it would be well to acknowledge defeat as gracefally-as possible and call it the Lost Cause. Those who vote for Bryan vote to abandon a condition more prosperous than any ever before enjcyed by any pation, for the purpose of trying a Anancial experiment condemned by all nations.
