Walter Wellman in Chicago Times-Hernld.
The democratic managers are much dis
satisfied with the result of the notification
meeting last night. So much had been eX-
pected of it, and 1t turns out so little. No
one claims that it will have the slightest
effect upon the vote of New York or any
other eastern state. The managers now say
that it was not intended to have. They
claim the great desire was to have Mr..
Bryan read his carefully prepared speech
under auspices which would attract the at
tention of the country, and then trust to its
clear and logical statement of the silver
case for effect upon voters throughout the
union. While it is true this was the main
object in view, it is also true that the Madi-
son Square meeting was planned in the hope
that it would enable Mr.. Bryan to set a
great eastern audience wild with enthusi-
asm. They did not expect to carry New York
by this means, but they did expect that the
news of this great victory Sin the heart of
the enemy's country would encourage the
faithful in all the really doubtful states and
stir them to renewed efforts.
This expectation was not realized; the
effort was a failure so far as arousing en-
thusiasm was concerned. AS a spectacular
exhibition of the boy orator it was a poor
show. Mr.. Bryan and his managers had to
choose between two plans. One was to turn
the young orator loose without his manu-
script and let him charm and fascinate the
people with those tricks of elocution and
rhetoric In which he is familiar from long
practice. 1t is only justice to Mr.. Bryan
to say that had this course been adopted he
would have scored a great success. If any
one can do it he can. Even under the adj
verse circumstances, with a bad voice and
The fatal manuscript in his hand, there were
moments when Mr.. Bryan touched the
imagination of his hearers. Though he is
given credit for none of these things in the
eastern papers, with the exception of two
journals which are supporting him, ! prefer
TO state the facts without coloring.

The Bryan Hurrnh at New York q
Dismal disappointment.


william r.. Curtis in the Chicago Record.
Several members of the democratic ma
tional committee think II would have been
better, after all, II Mr.. Bryan had received
the notification committee ut his own home
In Lincoln, instead Of coming here to
meet them. In other words, they
are disappointed with the results Of
the great MEETING at Madison Square
last night, which was scarcely up to
the expectations. In the FIRST place. the in
tense heat was a tremendous handicap, al
though the audience was as enthusiastic
as a mass OF human beings could be and did
its best to show its respect and admiration
for the candidate. 1t is asking too much
to expect 1000 spectators to sit silently
and peTspire In q temperature OF " degrees
for more than two hours, particularly when
they cannot hear distinctly. Then, again,
Mr.. Bryan was worn out. He was not in
condition to undergo the ordeal that was
imposed upon him. Even II he had pro-
tected himself and come through from Lin
coin in a fast train. without opening his
mouth or allowing a soul to approach him,
1t would have been enough to expect him to
be himself in the torrld temperature ana
the confusion that was made by the fussy
Mr.. st. John. But, In his anxiety to gratify
everybody, Mr.. Bryan used himself up before
he got half way to New York. and ought
to have been put to bed for a week be-
fore attempting to make a speech. The
audience expected too much of him. 1t had
iiNulh 81 lluNh dipuN LIE Nibbh'hNN 'ih
ma gnetism that 1t was expecting to be cleo
triGed, and is mad because 1t was not, The
popular disappointment is therefore very
marked today. and the national committee
Is getting evidences from all sides.
The social reception at which the people
of New York were to have an opportunity
to meet MIR. aud Mrs. Bryan, was not as
successful as the notification meeting, which
was no doubt due largely to the hot weather
and the fact that q great many people are
out of town. Mr.. Warren Leland offered the
use of the Windsor hotel and made elaborate
arrangements to take care of an immensc
throng. There were $50 policemen present
to keen the peace. and Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan,
accompanied by Mr.. Sewall, Mr.. and Mrs.
st. John, Mrs. Bland, the wife of Governor
Stone of Missouri and several other ladies,
were on hand promptly, but the expected
throng was absent. The total attendance
did not exceed 500. and many of them were
people who were passing by and stopped
to see what was going on. For a time the
parlors were a melancholy spectacle, with
nobody in them but the receiving party,
the policemen, the reporters and Warren
Leland, who hustled around in his char
acteristic way trying to make the organs
think they were having a glorious time.
But they were much disappointed.

PIMA COUNTY IN LINE.

The Pima county Central Com
mittee met at Tucson last Saturday
morning and the members of the
committee being thoroughly ac-
quainted with the wishes of Demo
Gratis in their respective localities
decided that it would be better to
choose the delegates to the Ter
ritorialt convention then and there
rather than encounter the trouble
and delay of primaries which was
done.
After the delegates were chosen
the following resolutions were ad.
opted for their guidance. The first
was offered by Mr., Finley and the
second by Judge Barnes:
"Resolved, That the Democratic
party of Pima county, through Its
representatives, is hereby pledged
to the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver, and that through its rep
resentatives the Democrats of Il o
county repudiate the well known
views on the silver question of the
present national administration" !"
eve favor bimetallism, that is
the use Of gold aud silver equally
and without discrimination and
the coins Of both as money of re-
demption and in full legal tender.
To this end we demand the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver as was established by
law prior to 1873 at ratio Of l6
to l. In this view we should not
wait for other counties, but should
act Independently. To increase
the amount of silver in the dollar
as established at the foundation of
the government would be an act of
injustice.
"The delegates from this coun-
ty to the territorial convention
are instructed to vote as unit, as
a majority may direct to secure
delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton in harmony with the above
views"

LAST Saturday the people of this
school district met and decided to
build a new school house. Mr.. c..
Freeman submitted a plan which
he had drawn and it was decided
to build the house from it. The
house is to be of brick, two stories
high, with two large rooms below
and two above with two, and per
haps four cloak rooms, the cost
when completed is to be $500.
The site for the houes has not yet
been decided on, but is thought il
will be located somewhere south OF
the railroad track. We need a
new school house and our people
are showing the proper spirit in
building one Of this size as our
population is rapidly increasing.

THE Star can hardly credit the
rumor that the federal officials of
the territory have combined to con
troll the Democratic party of the
territory, with view to the cleo
tion of delegates oftheIr own choos-
ing to the Chicago convention, for
the spirit of home rule is too strong
ly planted in the breast of the Ari-
zona Democracy to allow any such
business. There is no one thing
so obnoxious to the Democracy as
an attempt to be controlled or
bossed by outside influence, and
especially by foreign emmisaries,
or those who have been seen here
on special duties, whose homes or
interests are not in the territory,
to interfere in the political affairs
OF the people; any such attempt
will be met with "a political scourg-
ing, which the perpetrators will
not soon forget. The Democracy
Of Arizona is capable of controlling
its own affairs, and it will do so,
and any combination gotten up, in
response 10 orders from the out
side, will be met and treated with
the spirit of honest independence
which is so characteristic of Ari-
zcnians.-Stdr
