BRYAN HAD A VERY BUSY WEEK.
wonnd Up with . Close Call for . PAM,
and Disaster.

wonnd On with Q Close Call for . Panic
and Disaster.
Jamestown, n. Y, Aug. 3l.-Mr. and
Mrs. w. J. Bryan enjoyed day Of ease
yesterday after q week of campaigning
which has included speeches in the largest
inland cities of the state,in two or three
farming centers and many short ones
from car platforms. Two or three and
some times more long speeches have b.en
made by Bryan each day and the intervals
between have been spent in travelling by
train or by carriage. Every morning has
seen him up at o'clock and not before
has he been able to secure sleep.
The week with him was one Of un-
renting turmoil. pushing through
crowds. riding after brass hands, with
fireworks flying or cannon roaring in
his ears Even in the quieter moments
at hotel tables and in car seats there
have always been a dozen people at
his elbow to shake hands, to try to
| talk politics or tell him how the cam
paign must be run. He has even had
to WELD a fork with the left hand
| while writing autographs with the
right. Despite this continuous strain
Bryan was looking as fresh as week
| ago when he appeared in the hotel
| dining room yesterday morning. His
| wife and he went to church in the
morning and to Lakewood in the after
noon.
| The most thrilling time he had last
| Celeron, on Lake Chautauqua. Here
| the hall was so full-aisle and all-that
there was hardly room to turn round
There were thousands outside trying
| to get in. Viewed from the platform
the whole auditorium was a struggling
| mob, while overhead men chung like
monkeys to the rafters. Women were
| shrieking and on the platform the few
ladies there sat with white faces. Mrs
Bryan smiled nervOusly, for it looked
as though the people below would b'
pushed on the stage.
Danger of panic and an awful disaster
was imminent until it was announced
that Sibley would address an overflow
meeting. Then number of people Wen
out and the pressure from outside wa
withdrawn and the danger wat past.
This morning a brief visit will he mad
to Chautauqua, there will be n speech n
Ripley and then a dash for Cleveland, o.
where Bryan will speak tonight.

effected a cure and that was Cham

Jones and Smith.

Bearing these names, the most com
mon aud familiar in English nomen-
clatare, are presented TO the people
of Iowa county two Of the best known
and most esteemed citizens within
her borders, as candidates for the
most important political Office upon
which votes of this county will be
decisive--W A. Jones ana j. Nj.
Smith, for member of the assembly.
Between these gentlemen there arc
many points of similarity. Each of
irreproachahle private character;
each is proverbiably generous, char
liable in all things, genial and eour-
teous at all times. Both are Of ma
ture Yeas, and have spent the great
or part Of their lives III this county,
and each has IN that time attached
TO himself many warm personal
friends they have both often ser
we'd the public in responsible and
honorable positions, and each won
warm COMMUNICATION for faithful,
efficient public service. For each it
may be said he is highly qualified
for the position TO which he is for
second tame nominated.
From HE foregoing it would seem
inmateyia whether Jones or smith
were elected member of the assem-
bly,, and ii would BE 50 but for the
fact that these gentlemen entertain,
and as representatives, would express
widely different views upon matters
of public policy, affecting deeply the
interests of the country.
While there il but little room to
doubt that Mex inley will be elected
president, and that the next house OF
representatives viii have safe
working republican majority, the
strength OF the parties in the Z. 5.
senate is likely to be 50 nearly equal
that ane vote lost or gained may de-
termine the action 81 that body on
any question. Careful estimates
show that wit5are republican returned
from Wisconsin ns successor 70 Villas,

ably be republican by enc to three

The present unsatisfactory tariff

have heard anything about that ru-

Mr. Charles M. wilkins, Of Warren,
Ohio, says. The state is safe for the
republicans by at least 10000 major
ity. In my town ] know of but one
republican that has been converted
to the silver cause, while / know
dozens of democrats who will vote
for Palmer or Mckinley. Our county
il one of the first in agriculture, but
there is no free silver craze among

sir. BRYAN's record, short as 1t is
has been full Of Inconsistencies. For
instance, he never makes speech of
any length now that he does not
charge the gold standard with being
solely responsible for tho lowering Of
prices, yet when he was in congress
he had Il very different idea Of the
cause Of lower prices, or at least he
said he had. He used the following
language in speech made on the
floor Of the house little more than
four years ago; You must attribute
it to the inventive genious that has
multiplied a thousand times, in many
instances, the strength of single
arm, and enables us to do today with

fifty years ago. That is what has

United statas Cavalry HOrses.

The annual report Of the Quartermas-
ter General contains some items that are
Of interest. Among other remarks he
says that the contract system for the
supply Of horses continues to give gen.
eral satisfaction and the standard has
been gradually improved since the sys-
tenn was adopted. The average cost
Of cavalry horses during the year was
1854, and that Of artillery horses
S148.04. Our cavalry mount of to-day
excels that Of any previous time, and
all information gathered tends to show
that it is superior to that OF foreign
countries. The cessation Of Indian
wars and hostilities on the Rio Grande
have rendered it unnecessary to further
maintain post transportation on field
campaign basis, and in October last
orders were issued for a new allowance
of draft and pack animals for several
military departments, and directing the
sale OF all surplus animals. This re-
duction in the number of animals, wagons,
harness, ETC., will effect considerable
saving in the appropriation. The
average cost Of team horses during the
year was $167.S3 and of mules s11464.
The reduction in number by reason Of
sale, death, ETC., was 1,422 cavalry and
artillery horses, 1888 mules; this left on
hand at the end Of the year 6,ls9 cavalry
and artillery horses, 247 team horses and

1t is SO seldom that q Popnllst Off
clsl gets honorable mention at the
hands Of the opposition that the AID
vOCATE will be justified In copying the
following from the Hutchinson NseOS
Of February IL:
estate Bank Examiner John w.
Breidenthsl will arrive from Topeka
this evening to take charge Of the
affairs of the Valley State bank.
"Mr. Breidenthsl is the only Popu-
list now holding Office In the State cap
itol. He was appointed Bank
Examiner by Governor Lewelling, and
the Supreme court having decided chat
he cannot be removed without cause
and no cause being shown why he
should not hold the offioe-except his
politics-Mr. Breldenthsl will continue
to do business at the old stand until
his term Of Office expires.
"JOhn Breidenthsl, In spite Of the
fact that he is POpulist, Is one Of the
brsiniest and shreWdest men In Kan
saS.
"In his politics he has always been
consistent, that is, he has always been
q Populist. From the beginning, so
far as the memory of man sklppeth
back over history, he has advocated
the principles Of POpulism.
ain 1892 he displayed his ShrewdnesS
as a political leader and campaign
manager, when he pulled the POpullst
ticket safely through, by holding the
Democratic and POpulist vote together
despite all efforts from foes without
and foes within to disrupt 1t.
"Mr. Breidenthsl could doubtless
have the nomination for Governor at
the hands Of his party II he desired It,
but 1t is said that he has declined to
accept It. It is probable, however,
that If by any accident the PopulistS
should secure q good following In the
next Legislature, the nomination for
United States Senator will be profiered
to him upon a silver platter by his
party"
