TOUCHING INCIDENT AT NEWLONDON

For what special reason the managers Of the
Bryan campaign deputed the Hon. Josephus
Daniels, of North Carolina. to accompany the
Boy Orator on his recent great vote winning trip
through New England to Bath, Me-, was not
generally known until yesterday, when "rhe
Morning Journal of this city reeked with two
columns and half of the most interesting thrill
ing and inspiring literature, descriptive of the
strange and wonderful country through which
the corege passed the rrepressible enthusiasm
aroused by the Boy Orator among farmers and
fishermen and other laboring classes, and the in
genulty with which citizens OF all classes con-
ceal their unalterabe purpose to vote for Bryan

as was at first suspected by those who knew how
tlmid the National Committee were about letting
him run loose In the East. but simply as the his
torian of the trip. And 1t Is only fair to say that
as historian Josephus is a success Not only
| as a historian, but as an accurate and painstak-
| ing descriptive writer The story Of the trip Is
| told in the most charming style, and his portrait
| IRE of the habi.s and manners OF the people Is
| so fresh and vivid that it must astOnsh the In
habtants themselves. With little or no knowl-
| tional Committeeman, we say, without the slight
est hesitation, that as historian and descriptive
writer he is the head of the outfit. He may, in
deed, be called, without exaggeratlOn, not only a
| ''corker" but an un-cOrker
| And yet we feel constrained to call attention
to one rather important omission in his stirring
narrative of what happened in the course of the
Bryan progress at NewLOndon Conn. At this

"he didn't move muscle. he did not applaud, he

how the man, after struggling through the crowd

Nothing could be finer than this in the way OF
