1T is stated that Bryan will FIRE of
his orstory from the end OF specis
train at all the important points in tn,
country, during the campaign.
George Hemphill, OF Williamsburg
has been appointed by Secretary OF State
Finley to the desk in the corporation
department. The place pays 200 q
year and has been filled by a lady.
The silver leaders are preparing to
make desperate fight to carry Illinois
for Bryan, and to that end will pour
money into the State. 1t is said that
Gov. Altgeld has already been assured Of
100000 from Colorado.
Congressman Bailey, of Texas, who
has been a candidate for reelection and
was sure OF success, has suddenly an
nounced his withdrawal. 1t is conjec-
tured that the platform and ticket put
out at Chicago are too populistic for him Z,
Owing to adverse weather and other
causes, the demonstrations designed for
Bryan at Centralis and Salem, ILL.,, were
failures, but he made speeches all the
same, and while he presented nothing
new, he fired the audiences with his elo-
quence.
Hon. Q. NJ. Clay writes to the Cou
rier-Journsl: "By all means We must
have sound money democratic ticket
for the presidency. We can not afford
to vote for Mckinley and we owe it to
our country to defeat the populistic tick
ct headed by Bryan. We must immedi'
ately go to work and keep up the organic
ed succession of true democratic prin-
ciples.
Harold X. Sewsll, son OF the vice
presidential nominee, who was consul to
Samoa, when President Cleveland fred
him for democrat, has published the
following card: The republicans OF
Maine have never failed to carry Maine
for their presidential ticket, and never
will. My relationship to the democratic
nominee for vice president has never az
fected my political action, nor will it
now.
MIR. William Jennings Bryan, nomi-
mated for president of the United States
by a convention at Chicago, called by
authority OF the democratic party, is rep
resented as having the head OF Webster |
the voice OF Clay and the courage OF
Jackson, but that he does not drink,
chew nor cuss. We will wager a cigar |
that he does some cussin', or gets some
body to do it for him, before he com
pletes the csmpaig On. -Frankfort Capital.
The Courier Journal had the bust.
uess men OF Louisville interviewed and |
Of 225, l55 declared themselves against
the Chicago ticket, and 40 of the 55 said |
they would vote for Mckinley. The 9th
ers said they would remain away from
the polls. Thirty of the 235 were for the
ticket. They were silver democrats here.
;ofofe. Forty OF the 225 were noncom-
initial, saying they were for gold and
would wait awhile before deciding. The
paper says that the men were not select
ID because OF their ultra views.
