BRYAN NOT CAST DOWN.
lie Says the Battle For Dirnctallism Has
just Commenced.

Lincoln, Neb., NOV. 5.-"The fight
has just commenced" Thus spoke
William j. Bryan tonight when ask
cd if lie considered the result of the
election had been a serious blow to
cause Of bimctallism. He had just
sent a message to Major Mckinley
conccding his election and rendering
his congratulations.
Mr.. Bryan surrendered at 500
o'clock. He had just received the
signal and responded within the next
ten minutes with a telegram to his
successful rival. This signal was Il
brief message from Senator Jones,
chairman of the democratic commit
tee, informing him that lie did not
consider it wise to longer withhold
the concession Of McKinley's election.
This message was received BY Mr..
Bryan II few minutes after he had
returned with his wife from an even
ing stroll and in the presence Of a
dozen callers gathered in the parlor
and reading room Of their unpreten-
tious residence. The receipt of the
telegram created no scene whatever
and one unacquanted with the facts
would never have suspected from the
surface indications the Importance
of the occasion, or that the chief
actor in the drama had more than a
passing interest in it. He handed
the telegram to Mrs. Bryan, who was
standing near him, and without a
word except to explain the pnrport
of the message, sat down to his desk
and pcnned the folling'telcgram:
"'Io Hon. William Mckinley, jr.,
Canton, Ohio-Senator Jones has
Informed me that the returns indi-
cate your election, and I hasten to
extend my congratulations. We have
submitted the issue to the people
and their will is law.
"William J. Bryan
This message was first submitted
to Mrs. Bryan and then after having
it in some slight particu-
lars so as to conform to suggestions
made by her, it was given to the
press. While writing the message
and after it was completed, Mr..
Bryan chatted pleasantly with the
newspaper correspondents who sur
rounded him, indicating BY his man
ncr that he felt relieved to have the
matter definitely determined, even
though it was settled against him.
lie also showed very plainly that
Senator Jones message was no sur
prise to him, as it indeed was not,
for, those who have been in his CON
fidcnce knew, he had considered the
battle as practically lost ever since
the first night after election. He
has, however, felt that it would be
both discourtcous and unwise to give
out any intimation TO this effect un-
I'll the national committee had
spoken.

Chairman Says it Was the Platform and
Cleveland.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Nlcc Chairman
party, has today issued the follow
ing statement: II the final results
shall show Bryan is defeated it does
not demonstrate that free silver is
beaten by any means. The extreme
and jmpolitic planks Of the Chicago
platform lost us hundreds Of thou
sands OF votes among the conserva-
tive business men, who were really
in favor Of free coinage. Another
factor in this contest, which has
greatly injured, has been the fact
that four years ago the democratic
party went into power with a prcsi-
dent and both houses Of congress, and
the policy Of that president and the
legislative acts Of the majority of
that congress have been too often
against the interests OF the people.
The American people wanted 4
change, and if Bryan is defeated it is
largely due to the fact that they at
this time were not willing to trust
another democratic administration,
however strong the professions in the
interests Of the people. The silver
question will not down until justly
settled by the restoration OF free
coinage Of silver at the ratio Of ] 6 tf
l.. 1t is to be hoped the next time
it is submitted to the people it will
not be handicapped by the injection
Of other questions about which tho
friends Of free coinage radically differ
in opinion. Mr.. Bryan has made the
most marvellous canvass ever made or
the American continent and through
out has shown himself to be one o
the greatest men our country ha:
ever produced. |. n. STEVENS,

Floored by the "Dorkic Bird. :"

Floored by the "Dorkic Bird"
Last evtning, at one Of the larf (
Presbyterian churches on the south
side, Especially attractive service was
held 1t had been widely advertise d,
and every seat was filed. In one OF
the forward pews sat a young person
who eagerly waited for The proceedings
TO commence.
The opening number on the pro-
eramme was "a voluntary beginning !:
"a day in Thy courts is better than 4
thousand. had rather be doorkeep-
er in the house of my God than TO
dwell in the tents of wickedness. But
the young person hadn't a programme
and she didn't know.
A woman's beautiful voice rang out
clear and strong, and the young per
son taxed her ears to catch the words.
At first they eluded her exasperat-
civ, but by patience and close
a, tention she finally grasped the
,ituation. The singer considered q
day in the courts CT the Lord to q
thousand spent elsewhere. So far so
good. But the next sentence staggered
u e young person. The singer trilled
forth that she had rather be "dorkie
BIRD" in the house of her God than 10
occupy an elevated position in les
righteous place.
The young person pondered. Since
,er early infancy she had been fed on
Verses and chapters from the Bible, but
somehow she couldn't seem to remem.
SCR any reference to a "dorkie bird.n
.-ne must bo mistaken in the word, she
lhcusht, ard settled herself to listen 10
the tenor. who was now warbling the
sweet melody. Surely he would
sing the words plainly. But no, the
rendition was as before-"dcriie bird
The coDtralto aud bgss made no
change in the version, hui sang it as
the soprano and toGor had done.
The young persons mind was per-
turbed. She could cot fix her thoughts
on the prayer which followed, but bow
g her head and meditated on the
various Biblical combinations. No, she
could not recall the least reference
20 "dorkie Bird" but if the
caulr sang ABOUT IL surely tHeie
must be such thing. She wondered
If it were Anything like an English
sparrow. Evidently it was q humble
member of the feathery tribe, for it was
used in en- unimportant connection.
During subsequent vocal number
she leaned toward her escort. "What is
a dorkie bird 2" she whispered softly.
"A what?" he inquired.
ga dorkie bird"
He turned on her pair of interested
eyes. ga what ?" he asked again.
"Oh, never mind" she whispered,
uervously. "It's nothing. They are
going to pray"
TO the exclusion of all else that idea
of the unusual bird occupied her at
tention during the remainder of the
service. When she reached home she
rushed to her home and seized her
Bible. After an arduous search she
found tho place and read F.: ga day in
Thy courts is better. than thousand.

"Doorkeeper! OH" she said family,
