Apotber Attack Upon Bryan.

! The republican managers have been on
! the lookout ever since the beginning Or
the campaign for something that would
tend TO lower Mr.. Bryan in the estlma-
tioA. of the public, but with no success
whatever. Soon after his nomination IL
was said that he was the attorney for
the Missouri Pacific railroad, and hence,
being corporation attorney, he was not
sincere In attacking railroads. 1t was
quickly shown that he was not and never
had been the Missouri Pacilcs attorney.
Later on in the campaign it was alleged
that when he was lecturing in behalf CT
free silver coinage, prior to HIS
nomination, he was the paid
agent Of silver mine owners. Mr.
Bryan denied that he was ever in the
employment of silver mine owners His
denial was accepted, because there was
no foundation for the charge
In Wednesdays New York Herald ana
some Of the republican papers a report
was published that Mr.. Bryan refuses 70
speak in towns which do not contribute
to the democratic campaign fund any
where from $50 to $500 the amount vary
ing in accordance with the size of the
town
The manner in which the republican
papers handle this story shows they are
doubtful Of the truth of it. One of the
most radical of them, in speaking of It,
says: IF this report proves true, it will
end Mr. Bryans campaign speeches"
1t would seem to be an easy matter
to show whether the story is true or not.
About the only way morey could be raised
In towns and villages for the purpose indi-
Gated would be by subscription, and if
raised in that way it would be practically
impossible to keep secret the fact that
Mr.. Bryan's presence was obtained by the
payment Of money.
We do not, of course, know whether the
story is true of false, but we should say
judging from the other attacks which
have been made upon Mr.. Bryan, that
there is no truth in it. No doubt a de-
NAL of it win be made in good time, or
If there is any foundation for it, such an
explanation of it will be made as will sat
isfy every fair-minded man that Mr.
Bryan has done nothing calculated to
bring him into disrepute.

his Chestnut Party

A rich man of this city gave a chestnut
party, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Chestnut parties are quite the rage just
now. They are easily planned and car
red out. About the only necessity is
chestnuts. That's where the rich man
stumbled. The chestnut supply at the
point he had selected for the party was
scarce. There was a splendid tree, but its
crop was light. Wealth is the true father
of expedients. The rich man bought a
generous supply of chestnuts and sent
them out to be carefully scattered be-
meath the tree. When the party arrived
at the nutting ground, 10! the tree
had been shaken and there on the ground
lay the remarkably generous supply of
nuts. The business of gathering them
went merrily forward, when, all of a
sudden one of the older members of the
party picked up a fallen leaf and looked
at it suspiciously. Then she glanced up
at the tree above her.
isn't it stranger" she said.
Isn't what stranger" asked the rich
man.
THAT all these chestnuts should grow
on an oak tree?"
And it was an oak, sure enough.

A Good Story on Rrxan.

Carl Smith tells a good story on Bryan.
says Fact and Fiction. When Bryan was
engaged in his joint debate with Cornell,
when they were candidates for congress,
Mir. Bryan carried the stock Of an auc-
ton house with him as objest lesson Illus
trations. During this time burgiarles
were common in the town, and a police
man held his job at the price of vigil
lance. One night officer Louis Godola
of the Fourteenth street beat, was walk
ing northWard from Dodge street, when
he noticed ahead of him a suspicious
looking character, who seemed to be
weighted down with plumber. He stag
gered along with sack Of flour balanced
upon one shoulder, a basket of clothes
pins, coffee, fat irons and condensed milk
on the other and various bundles and
packages strung about his form as though
he were sort of walking warehouse
Godola, in the distance, knew him at once
for Spinny Dwyer, a weli-known crook,
and FASTENED to arrest him. The pris-
oner set down his flour, eggs, cotton,
calico and roll of barb wire and looked
earnestly at the policeman.
What is the trouble, Louie?" he in
quired.

McKinIey's Prediction.

The republicans are finding much cont
fort appal ertly in the prediction which
Maj Mckinley made last Tuesday in a
speech to delegation from Sandusky.
Ohio The prediction was, in substance,
that the republicans would win the cleo
ton, and that he would be the next Presi-
dent. 1t is asserted that this was the first
time that he has declared his belief in the
success of his party at the coming cleo
ton. 1t is worthy of notice that this pre-
diction was given to the public almost i'm
mediltely after Senator Quay had an
nounced that Mr. Mckinley was certain of
go electoral votes, with a chance of get
ting quite a number more.
Does it not look as II there was an un-
Outstanding as to when the estimate and
the prediction should be given TO the pub
lie? There is considerable confidence in
Senator Quay's judgment in political mat
tiers and Mr.. Mckinley had made no pre-
diction as to the result Of the election in
any of his public utterances. There is
ground for suspicion therefore that the es-
innate and the prediction instead of being
based upon the result of candid judgment
were intended to help along the republican
cause by influencing wavering voters and
Inspiring the campaign workers with re-
newed hope Of success.
The fact that Senator Quay did not name
the states which he expects Mr.. Mc<in-
ley to carry subjects his estimate to CON
siderable criticism 1t is claimed that if he
had confidence in his estimate he would
not hesitate to make known the states he
expects Mckinley to carry. There
is reason in this view. In
the estimates published by Chair
man Jones of the democratic campaign
and Chairman Butler of the
popullst committee the states they expect
Mr. Bryan to carry are named The lack
of frankness shown by Senator Quay
creates a doubt as to whether he believes
in his own figures.
