gives expression to the views of fair and
impartial men all over the country as to
the transcendent merits of Mr.. Bryan's
wonderful speech in New York last We'd
nesday night. He says the speech has
taken the wind out of the sails of all those
who call him n fireworks Orator as he
purposely stripped it of what was merely
oratorical by reading it as message to
the people and making it a convincing ar
gument, appealing to reason rather than
to emotion. THAT Speech he said ''enti-
ties Mr.. Bryan to rank with the greatest
of men. 1t shows him to be master of
the science of government, philosopher
and a statesman of the highest rank. He
sums up the Democratic position in the
clearest possible way, condenses Il con-
vincing argument in every paragraph and
shows himself to be master of the entire
subject He can teach political econo-
mists and point out to the financiers how
far they may go. 1t is the best political
document we can circulate. 1t is simply
wonderful in its clearness and force"
Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia,
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional committee who took part in tho
New York meeting after giving some in
teresting facts in connection with the
gathering, also praises the speech highly
and among other things says: at was
the most remarkable outpouring I have
ever seen. The people were not drawn by
fireworks or any other accessories which
usually attract n crowd. They came to
hear Bryan and his cause. 1t was notice
able that when the candidate laid aside
his manuscript and addressed the open-
air meeting there was a wave of that same
enthusiasm shown at Chicago The
speech of acceptance is an able and schol.
arly treatment of the subject, and it will
prove one of the most valuable campaign
documents. 1t is document which cir
culates and does not need a frank for the
press of the entire country prints it. The
demand for the Bryan Chicago speech is
unprecedented, and I anticipate quite as
heavy demand for the speech of last
night"

THE PROPOSED JOINT DEBATE

Republicans do not take very kindly
to the idea of joint debate between Mr.
Mckinley, their candidate for President
and Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic nominee
for the same Office. They pretend TO be-
lieve that Mr.. BSyans speeches are do
ing them good right along. and say
joint debate is unnecessary: but the
fact is, they know differently, and really
have no DESIRE to place their man in a
position before the people of the United
States, where the magnetism of the Dem
ocratic candidate and his recognized
powers as an orator and debater would
make him largely the gamer by such dis
cussion. The proposition for Joint de-
bate between the rival candidates for
President is a novel one, and there is no
certainty that the people of the United
States generally desire it. They do not
object to hear the views and arguments
of the candidates publicly delivered: but
many of them believe the office of Presi-
dent is too exalted to be thus auctioned
of to the highest and best bidder. Such
course on the part of the candidates.

matchless logic and eoqucnce, while
Major Mckinley can either speak one
or more pieces to the people, or let his
friends do all the talking,as time and cir
cumstances may determine; but in any
event Bryan is sure to win.

A WAR TIME EXPERIENCE
Recalled at an Accidental Meeting of
Americans in London.


Americans in London.
Never since steamers commenced to cross
the Atlantic has London been so crowded
with Americans as it is this summer.
They are to be met with everywhere. The
great hotels are full OF them, and at con-
versaziones and reunions their presence is
unmistakable-and agreeably so, for the
visitors are as unlike the old carcatures
of Uncle Jonathan as Hyperion TO a Satyr.
Formerly Americans as rule made Paris
their headquarters, and merely visited
London. To day the French capital is
almost deserted by them, and if they 90
to it at all, 1T is merely for a day or two.
The preference for the English metrop-
oils is natural, for here they are not only
almost at home, but have infinitely more
chances of meeting each other and renew
ing old acquaintanceship.
a touching instance of this occurred
yesterday in one of the great hotels in
Northumberland avenue A party of
Americans, who had arrived on the pre-
vious day, most of them strangers TO each
other, were sitting at luncheon, and one
of them was with an English friend who
had called to see him. The conversation
between the two naturally drifted back
to the war time, and the American, who
had been Federal, descr bed some of

opposing soldiers used to work so near
each other in the trenches that they were
able to engage in conversation and sur
reptitiously exchanged tobacco and tea

ter and none of the former while the
Southerners were exactly in the opposite
condition.
But, he continued, the most peculiar
"swop' he ever made was small
packet of quinine for pound of tobacco,
to which the Confederate added a Curl
ously carved wooden pipe. That pipe he
had kept ever since, because he regarded
it and the tobacco as having saved his
life, for somehow or other his superior
officer had come TO know that he pos
sessed n quantity of the ''weedn and or
dered him to report himself concerning
it. Before he could regain his post the
man who was in his very place was
killed.
