WHAT'S In q name!

| Ill All lIit III AbS AN AN'i''N-
in the city were permitted to vote Tor the
| Presidential candidates today ana eachc cast
Il ballot ior his illustriouus narnesake there
! is no question bU' that the family vote
would be largely in favor of the boy
orator. Not quite 10 TO ! one, but in tie
| prupoftion of 10 /, 1Cr II at Is the ratio
| I'm witch the Bryanites exceed the Nc Kill
| le yitcs in this city.
| The i;:gregatc vote of these two families
| would lie u D. of whom 52, Just one Tor each
caro- in the deck, are BryanS and IL, uIl-
| lucky 13, are Mckinleys. But relati c:sbip
| ties and namesake Ties wunid not hold tneri
| All in line by any means. All the Bryans
would not vote ror William j., nor would
| all the Macs vote for lllIam, jr.
Out of the total probably Bryan would
| receive a majority, but mckinley would
| receive almost as many Bryan votes as
| Bryan would himself, while Bryan, 10 get
| his ma jority iHthe family vote, would have
| 10 poll nearly all the Mckinleys, and this
| he would do, for not more than four, or pos
| Sbly five. of the Washington Mckinieys
would cast their ballots Tor the Canton
| Mckinley. Both houses are badly divided
| against themselves. All of the Bryans
are, OF course, proud OF the youthful Ne
| Dr.iSkd statesman, ana ali the Mchnleys
have the highest admiration for the Re
publican Napoleon, but with them, as win
many others, principle is above family and
| party.
MANY IN DOUBT.
There is considerable of This vote which
might be placed in the doubtful column, too,
| for n Poll would not show its correct stand
| ing. by any means, and there are good
/ many BryanS, and prUporliOnaJe number
OF Mckiuleys, who ciIhcr havea't made UP
| their minds, or who don't want to express
! their opinions as 10 their Iayorltes TINS To
| keep peace in the family.

! respective homes to vote, the former beng
! the cause in the ma jorIty Of instances.
| Not many people know how this Mr..
| Bryan voted, AMI iIe isn't taking sny trouble
| To make II public. Mr. Bryan has heretofore
| manifested allegiance to the party which
! claims jefferson Is It's founder, but he works
| for banking INSTITUTIONAL recently inCor-
porated national bank. National banks ami

is two Fighting rOUS;ers, and that may mean
| something III respect 10 Mr.. Bryan's vote.
Whether the name and the possibility of
| distant kinShip 10 the Democratic candi-
date count for anything, he knows, and the
public may guess.
The ancestors of William Jennings Bryan
came from the Old Dominion, near Cul-
| pepper, 1t is recorded, and Mr. Albert
Bryan is a true Virpinian
II the Republican candidate fails of
election at the polls, Washington Will still
support william Mckinley, tr. This Will

for his illustrious nGmesake If given an
OPPORTUNITY There is another William
Mckinley, also aver of bricks, and in the
same degree opposed to the Ohio Will
lam.
Three gentlemen also boast of the name
OF william Bryan, but none of them was
christened Jennings.
WILLIAM BRYAN FOR MCKINLEY.

against his nameSaek.
j. b. Bryan, also an eX-grocer is of th,,
same persuasion.
Samuel NJ. Bryan, general manager of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany, Is another who holds in the highest
esteem the gentleman from Nebraska. but
i'll his own words:
Bryan is most eStimable gentleman. Of
high Character-at least he was when I
knew HIM here-but his politics and his
policy are damnable. I've got a vote in
Ohio. but the Buckeye State doesn't need
| it. Ohio is safe for Mckinley
Bryan Il CO., the haberdas ashcrs, OF No
COL Fifteenth street, rcligiously refrain
from expressing any opinion Regarding
the namesakc of the senior member of the
firm, and the same may be said of Mr. C. q
Bryan, the New York avenue grocer. who
has listened to commendations and attacks
upon the Nebraska Bryan without either
approving or condemnng.
There are few people in Washington who
don't know Bernard Bryan. the genial res

The police force has two Bryans. One is

at No. g One is for Bryan. the other is anti
Bryan-that is anti-W. J. Bryan.
