POPS ADMIT DEFEAT.

extreme. 1t was supposed that Mr.. Bryan
would be able to make profound impress
sion on the wavering voters of Ohio. In
diana, Michigan and Illinois during his
last whirwind searching" expedition, but
it is admitted in the condolences of
their private caucuses at headquarters,
that he has made a failure of it, and that
sentiment. instead of changing in his favor,
has set in stronger than ever against him.
A confidential friend Of Chairman Faux
ner, of the Democratic congressional COM
nittee, said this afternoon:
The last few days of the Bryan trip
have been a severe disappointment to us. He
appears to have gone up against the raw
edge of everything. His first tour was a
halycon period, but this last flying trip has
developed the fact that he is in absolute
better for Mr.. Bryan if his strength had
given out two weeks ago. Every day he
keeps himself in the middle of tie stage
makes il all the worse for him.
This story of Popocratic decentralization
is the absolute. cold, unvarnished truth.
From the highest to the lowest Bryan
the private conversation of the people who
assemble there for business and eonsulta-
they present brave a front possible
but among themselves they do not attempt
to conceal the fact that they are whipped.
They feel that their chief ground for hope,
which was based on the theory that the
wage earners are with them unanimously,
is untenable. That was the keystone to
their arch of expectation. The facts which
have come to them during the last few
days prove that the workingmen who at
tached themselves to the Mckinley party
were and are in earnest, and not mas
querading. Take away that theory and
there is absolutely nothing left of the Bry-
an campaign. 1t was upon the theory that
the workingmen were engaged in whole
sale scheme of deception that the Bryanites
built their hope of success.

Debate at the Law school.

League of the Indiana Law School INDUCED
in a joint debate last night on the allah
sorbing financial question. The question as
debated was Resolved, That the adoption
of the money plank of the Chicago plat
form is to the better interests of the United
States than the adoption of the money
plank of the Republican platform" For
the affirmative discussion of the question
the Free-silver club selected Thomas
Coyle, William Johnson and George Mir
Ter, and they Were opposed by Daniel l..
Brown, jr., s.: H. Shank and w. c. Wiley,
representing the Republican League.
Fifteen minutes for each speaker was al
lowed and the debate was carried on in
the most enthusiastic style. The court room
at the school building was filled with stu
dents and their friends, who were deeply
interested in the proceedings. 1t was a
sympathetic audience which was ready to
applaud a good point a brilliant flight
of oratory, regardless of the personal feel
ing on the subject. There was no decision
on the debate except that which each OF
the listeners made in his own mind. The
most noticeable point in the debate was
