ANOTHER FROM BRYAN
HIS ACCEPTANCE or DEMOCRATIC
 PRESIDENT1AL NOMINATION.

Was Made Public Yesterday at His Home
 at Lincoln-Muoh of It Has Already Been
 Covered in His Speeches Views Regard
 ing Tariff Issue,
 Lincoln, Neb., Sept. Civilian J. Bryan to-day made public his letter ac- cepting the democratic nomination for president
 He announces his fixed determina- tion, if elected, under no circumstances to be candidate for reelection. This determination was reached in order that he may not be tempted to use the patronage of the office to further any personal ambition.
 He unqualitiedly endorses every plank in the Chicago platform and touches briefly on them
 MT Bryan condemns the issues of bonds within the last few years and adds that the legal right to redeem such bonds in either gold or silver has been violated and the government placed at the mercy of the gold syndi- cate.
 Of the civil service he says that permanent office holding class Is not in harmony with our institutions. He advocates a fixed term in appointive offices, except where the constitution provides otherwise
 Regarding, the territories, Mir Bryan says that New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona are entitled to statehood and their early admission is demanded by their material and political interests.
 He approves the proposition that all public lands should be reserved for free homes for American citizens.
 Concerning the tariff, he declares that until the money question is fully and finally settled the American peo- pie will not consent to the considera- tion of any other important question. MT. Bryan continues:
 Taxation presents a problem which in some form is continually present, and the postponement of definite ac- tion upon it involves no sacrifice of personal opinion or political princi- pie. but the crisis presented by finan- cial conditions cannot be postponed Tremendous results will follow the action of the United States on the money question, and delay is impossi- ble. The people of this nation, sitting as high court, must render judgment in cause in which greed is prose cutting against humanity. The decision will either give hope and inspiration to those who toll or shut the door of mercy on mankind Differences of opinion on minor matters must be laid aside i'll order that there may be unit ed action among those who are de- termined that progress toward the uni Versal gold standard shal be stayed and the gold and silver standard of the constitution restored.

cruits from Spain enables him to have

Moron-J ucaro trocha, which figured In the
ten years war and has recently been re
established. This trocha, which Is about
80 miles long, plays "A secondary part in

tween them and Maceo.
Weyler's Plan Of Campaign. From all
that can be gathered at Havana 10 seems To
be Weyler's plan TO devote his main ener-
gies TO Maceo, and at the same time TO Keep
flying columns in the field, scheme that
has been conspicuously futile In the past,
for the insurgents have fought the Spanish
dotachments when they pleased and easily
eyaded them when IL suited their purpose.
The Spaniards will find il far more diff
cult now than last season TO mako long
marches, owing to the scarcity OF food
throughout the country. Moreover, the
Spanish atrocities have vastly Increased
the bitter feeling among all Cubans, and
the invaders viii encounter great deal
more passive resistance from the popula-
ton than they have experienced heretofore.
Gomez, Garcia and their comrades are ex-
pected very effectually 60 divert good
share Of Woyler's attention from the west.
Terrible Condition of tine Country. This
campaign opens with Cuba IN desperate
commercial and financial condition. The
leading industry, which is sugar raising,
has been almost c,mrletoly paralyzed by
the acts both Of the insurgents and the
Spaniards Many plantations were de-
stroyed by order Of Maxine Gomez, who
took this means Of depriving the Span!ards
of resources for carrying on the war. The
Spaniards have done their full share in the
work Of stopping all industrial activity.

try, is completely ruined forshe time being

high sounding talk of this sort. Her dis
astrous record thus far in the war has kim
died feeling akin TO despair throughout
the peninsula. But the Cubans, in spite
of their great sufferings, were never more
confident Of final triumph, never mose de-

PART III.

Under these circumstances il was, of
course, only in the nature of things that
the little McNeills and O'EaTrells. the
smallest OF whom had not been born at
the time of the quarrel, should always
put out their tongues at one another
whenever they met. They regarded the
salutation, indeed. as a sort of cere-
mcn;al observance. which could not be
omrted without sense of indecorum.
Thus, one inclement autumn, when Pat
rick O'Farrell was no longer hobble-
dehoy, but 'as big man as you'd meet
goin' most roads," he went off m n "rah-
pIe," that IS, u hiring far, at Letter
kenny, and took service for six months
with farmer away at Raphoe. On the
day that he left Meenaclure. he hap
pened, just rs be was setting out, TO
meet Molly McNeill. who had by this
time grown into "a tall slip of girl go
ing on for sixteen" and they duly ex-
changed the customary greeting, Pat
getting the better of her by at least half
AN inch of insult. But when he re-
turned on soft April evening, IL
chnmced again that one of the first per-
sons he fell in with was Molly. She
was coming along between the newly
clad hedges Of narrow lane, and when
he caught sight of her first he mistook
her for his cousin, Norah O'Farrell, she
looked so much taller than his recollec-
4ions. But, on perceiving his error, he
merely gave up his intention of saying:
'Well, Norah, and how's yourself this
great while?" and skunk past without
making any demofstration whatever.
Molly would hardly have noticed it, in
decd, as when she saw him coming she
began 10 minutely examine the buds on
-he thorn bushes, and did not lift an
eyelash while they were passing. Yet
as they went their several ways, Pat
felt that he had somehow shirked o
duty; and Molly for her part could not
shake off a sense of having failed in
loyalty to her family until she had re-
llieved her conscience by announcing at
home that she was lust after meetin'
that great ugly-lookin' gomeral, Pat
O'Farrll, slin@ein' down the road below
Wildly Bryne's."
The year which followed this spring
was one of bad seasons and hard fare at
Meenuclure, and towards the end of it
Pat O'Farrell came reluctantly to per-
ceive that he could best mend his own
ana his fsmily's tattered fortunes by
cmigrnting TO the states. His resolve,
though regretted by all his neighbors,
except of course, the McNeills, was con-
fidered sensible enough, and at tho
'convoy" which assembled according
10 custom to see him off on his journey,
the general purport of conversation was
to the effect that bedad everybody d
be missing 20 r Pat, but sure himself

had been telling the neighbors her
