WANT BLAND FOR GOVERNOR.
But "Srlver Dick" Says He Would Not
Serve if Elected.

st. Louis, Mo, July 13.-In their
disappointment over the defeat of
Bland for the Presidential nominee
many Missouri Democrats have turned
to Mr.. Bland to lead the party in Mis-
souri, this fall as the candidate for
Governor. He has received many tele-
grams and letters the past few days
urging him to become a candidate.
These solicitations have not moved
him and will not change his course.
He made up his mind several years
ago that he did not want to be Gov
ernor, preferring to continue his fight
for the people for the entire country.
He said last night that he would not
be a candidate for Governor; that he
did not want the nomination, and I'M
der no circumstances was he after it.
He made this statement in the most
positive and emphatic manner, leaving
no doubt that he meant it.

got ahead of the procession" said Col.
Peoples. "We went t see Bryan
a part of us-immediately after we
landed, having previously counted
noses and rendered him the delega-
ton. 1t was his all the time, the only
question being how we could best
make our support effective. After his
speech in reply to Hill that question
was settled, and we voted for him first
last and all the time, and North Car

cession twice to the Nebraska delega-
ton. No such ovation has ever been
given an orator as was given Bryan
after his Speech" said Col. Peoples,

him as a memento of the convention
one of the flags with Bryan's picture

monstration. Mr. Jenkins insisted on

THE WouLD-BE CONGRESSMAN.
The Gold Bug Candidate of the Fourth
Congressional District Talks.

Mr. G. B. Afford, of Holly Springs,
was in Raleigh yesterday. Mr.. Afford
imagines himself sound money can
didate for Congress from the 4th dis
trict. He is a sociable, clever, genial
sort of fellow, who will do nobody
any harm, not even himself in a con-
gressional contest.
He declares that he is a true BIZ
metallist on a gold standard sound
money platform, and said yesterday
that if the Republicans would supporb
him, he could get enough sound mon
ey Democrats to insure his election.

but you can just say that would sup

When asked how many votes he
would get in his own township, Mr..
Afford said that he would get lots of
them if Nichols did not run, and he
would get some even if Nichols did
run. Mr. Afford further on admitted
that he had not yet informed himself
as to the difference in a Bland silver
certificate and a Sherman Treasury
note, but declared with emphasis that
he would have his statistics with him
when he got on the campaign and be
fully prepared to meet all corners.

QUESTION or LUCK.
Citation That Clinched the Other Side
of the Argument

II hate to hear people say there's no
such thing as luck, remarked the
melancholy Mr. Dolittle.
Il don't see why" his wife rejoined.
Because it isn't true" he returned
with asperity "A man can go on try
ing and trying, and never get along
And some other person will go ahead
and tumble into good things without
making any effort whatever"
Hiram, no gree man has succeeded
without hard work.
That's the kind of talk you always
hear. But nine times out of ten it is
all owing TO the opportunity that pres
ented itself Fortune just seems to lie
in wait to kidnap some men. Look at
Sir Isaac Newton. His name is handed
down from generation to generation.
And why? Simply because he was sit
ting under a tree and an apple hap
pened to drop on him. You can't pre-
tend that man is in position TO
claim superior merit simply because,
through no action or preference OF his
own, he gets hit in the head with an
apple, can you?'
NO, Hiram"
Then don't tell me about there not
being any such thing as luck.
1T seems to me that you've chosen
a poor example in support OF your
argument The case of Isaac Newton
goes to show that the difference Is in
the people II it had been some men
that ! know of instead of Newton the
first thing they would have done after
the apple fell would have been to go
into the house and moan for the arnica
bottle; then they would have spent
two or three hours of precious time
talking about their bad luck. Wash
