HOW BRYAN WON THE PRIZE.
Plans Carefully Laid for His "CrOss
of Gold" Speech at Chicago.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Chicago, Nov. ia special to a morn
ing paper from Washington says: Bry-
ans nomination was no accident so far
as he and his friends were concerned.
When he stood up to make his eventful
speech he was throwing loaded dice, which
had been prepared nearly two years be-
fore. The boy orator had assisted his
friends in pulling the wires for many
months, and every move in the game had
been studied out.
This information was cleaned in Ne
braska during the week preceding cleo
ton, and the authority for the story is
no less a person than James c. Dahlman,
chairman of the democratic state central
committee of Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's con-
fidential political adviser and friend. He
gave permission to print the story after
election, and meanwhile every statement
he made was verified from other sources,
the whole proving conclusively that Will
lam Jenr9ags Bryan knew he was playing
for high Stakes when he made his cele-
brated Gross of gold' speech at the Chi
cago convention.
He was not only fully aware of the plans
of his Nebraska friends, but was consulted
at every stage, and on himself alone de-
pended the final vancouver which secured
for him the opportunity to speak just at
The story, as told by Chairman Dahlman,
supplemented by the statement of others
bears the impress of truth on its face, and
can easily be verified by any one who cares
to do so.
Chairman Dahlman says positively that
Bryan not only knew, but from the min
ute he entered on his work with the COM
mittee, began to scheme to get the closing
speech. Jones and the other managers
fell into the trap. They knew Bryan was
a clever speaker and were perfectly will
ing to wind up their case with some fire.
works.
The convention was for silver by an
overwhelming majority, and all that was
necessary was to light the spark and
have the fuse handy. Dahlman had come
to Chicago two or three days before the
convention to set up the pins. AS soon
| as the delegation was seated he and 9TH
ers began quietly to talk up Bryan. Dahl
man himself went to Daniels, of North
| Carolina, Hoke Smiths secretary, and
urged him to keep out of the Bland, Boise
| and Mclean camps. Louisiana and one
| or two other states were similarly visit
| ed and given a tip to be ready.
Then the schemers began to make over
| lures to Illinois. They did their best to
| capture Altgeld, but could accomplish
nothing. They had enough scattering del
egates, however, to make sure that Meth
| er Bland, Boise, Matthews nor Mclean
could secure the nomination.
All went we'll and just as 1t had been ar
ranged. The young orator from Nebraska
had been preparing for the event for
| months. He had his speech we'll in hand,
| and he knew that he was not expected to
| make a logical argument for silver bur a
| brilliant explosion of oratorical fireworks
| for the express purpose of capturing the
crowd, and when William Jennings Bryan
| sat down he knew that the die had been
/ thrown and that the nomination was with
| in his grasp.

THE JULIUS HARDY TRAGEDY.
other Matters of Interest From
Wilkes County.

other Matters OF Interest From
wilkes County.
Washington, Ga, Nov. 1S.-Sunday coro-
ner's jury was sent for from Washington
to investigate the death of a 12-year-old
negro, whose body had been found on the
railroad track at Ficklen, about six miles
from here. The boy was last seen on the
rear platform. 1t is supposed that he
was stealing a ride. Nothing was found in
his pockets, but an Irish potato.
Only little more has been discovered
about the murder of young julius Hardy.
He had just returned from a party, and it
is supposed that some one acting as a de-
coy had asked him to go into the store for
the purpose OF selling some goods, as pack
ages were piled up on the counter just
over where he fell, while some one had
evidently shot him from the dark outside.
Suspicion points to a rough crowd called
the "Burmah gang living not very far
away. This crowd had uttered threats
against the boy. A curious case of super
stition comes from Mr.. r. B.. Green's plan
tation. A negro man, tenant, was quite
sick and the family called in a hunger
doctor. In a few days the man died, and
now the family have caused the hunger
doctor and a white man to be arrested on
the charge of poisoning the patient.
