Chicago effort. He will discuss the
Chicago platform in detail, and give
his Interpretation of it, and will also
repudiate the charges that those who
stand with MIN on the platform ain to
break down the laws OF the country or
entertain any views which entitle them
to be classed as anarchists. This will
be the first time that candidate has
been notified before mass meeting in

be 81 800.
NEW YORK, N. Y. August 12 -
VIM. Jennings Bryan is paying the
penalty of breaking his resolution not
to make any speeches while en- route
from Chicago to Pittsburg. Yesterday,
on the journey from Pittsburg to New
York he did not speak at all, in spite
of opportunities. Before reaching AL
toona his throat was very sore and his
voice weak. Remedies were tele-
graphed for all the way to New York
and his throat was sprayed at intervals.
To-day MIR. Bryan is trying to recuper-
ate at the residence Of VIM. p. st.
Johs, on thirty fourth street. No call
ers have been admitted to see him dur
fng the day. DR.. Nellie called early
and found MIR. Bryan suffering from
acute laryngitis. DR.. Nellie thinks
Mr.. Bryan will be able to speak, to-
night, at Madison Square without
hoarseness. Although very tired Mr..
Bryan spent part of the day in putting
the finishing touches to his speech.
