ton OF Doing Harm.

PARIS, July IAN attempt was made

The President mad gone to Long
Champs to review the troops. He had no
sooner entered the field when.a man In
the crowd stepped forward and fired a
revolver at him. The shot did not take
effect. The would be assassin was at once
arrested. He declared that he had only
fired blank cartridge, and that he had
no intention of killing the President.
When 1t became known in the crowd at
/ Long Champs that the President had not
been hurt by the pistol shot, the greatest
enthusiasm was manifested. Cheer after
cheer was sent up, and the people could
scarcely be restrained by the guard from
crowding about the place W here the Presi-
dent and his suite were standing.
During the IS months that have elapsed
since M. Faure was chosen President OF
the French republic, there have been
three more or less defined plots concocted
for his assassinatio ~ the first OF these
the principal was said to be an anarchist
known as "Petit Bordeaux" a deserter
from the French army, whose plan, ss
alleged at the time, was 10 kill the presi-
1895. The authorities being forewarned,
nothing came OF this affair.

AND BRYAN.
Their Buttons AdOrn the Person OF
Mr.. COmStOck.
The Rhode Island Chairman SpsaKs OF the
Cry OF the Underfed.

Richard Il. Comstock, Chairman OF the
Rhode Island delegation to the Demo.
cratic national convention returned
from New York this morning as happy
and chi2per as ever and with William j.
Bryan button on the lapel OF his coat and
Thomas Jefferson button on his vest
right over the apex OF tao hoart.
The buttons OF course made any ques-
tion as TO how Mr.. Comstock will vote al
together superfiuous. But asking that
question nowadays has become a matter
of habit and is neck and neck with "Is
u bot enough for your for hrst place.
So Mr.. Comstock was asked by NEWS re-
porter what he would do and his reply
was, "Work and vote for Bryan" All
the other delegates. with the exception
OF Mr.. Metcalf, and Sir. Van Alien, will
do the same.
AS to the two who arc for gold rather
than party. Mr.. Comstck says, "Mr. Van
Allen probably won't vote at all and Mr.
Metcaif will never vote for Mckinley.
Tho Bryan ticket In this State will pro-
badly hold Its own, az compared with
the Democratic vote in the Presidential
campaigns OF the past That is Mr. Com
stocks opinion, but he makes a provision
TO the effect that IL the rank and file of
tho party are convinced that the Chica-
go platform is dishonorable they will
v,sie against II. He thinks that an appeal
TO -oter's sense OF honor is more effec-
tive than an appea. TO his party alle-
glance.
AS for himself, Mr.. Comstock will be
acting IN accordance with the dictates
of his conscience for he does not think
that 10 support the Chicago ticket is dis
honorable.
"We do not understand this question
in the East" Chairman Comstock says.
The demand for silver 10 the cry of the
underfed against the prosperous. No
man with any emotion or any heart in
him can go into the West and hear that
cry without saying For Gods sake let .
try and do something TO help them"

Would Be Somebody.


SALEM, H., July IA. The Inhabitants
Of this quiet town were rather slow in
getting about today. The demopstra-
tion OF last night appears to have been
rather too much today for them, and
everybody, weary frcn, the unaccustomed
loss OF sleep, remained III bed until the
sun was high in the heavens. They then
began to Assem- BILE in small groups about
the court house square and to talk OF the
wonderful display that had hoen made in
honor OF the return OF William j. Bryan,
the Presidential nominee Of the Demo
cratic party. The Oldest settlers, aud
the town is full OF them, recounted stories
anc anecdotes of Mr.. Bryan when he was
known as a barefooted boy in this region
80 years ago. Prophets among these old
residents were numerous. They said
they always did know that "Billy' Bryan
was going to be somebody. They all
knew his father, Judge Silas Bryan.
