A Formal Notice of His Retirement

Omaha, Neb.. Aug. fO.-The paper Of
which w. J. Bryan has been editor
prints this today:
Two years ago had the pleasure
of announcing that w. J. Bryan had
accepted the position of editor of the
World-H Herald, and that henceforth
this newspaper would be dedicated to
the cause of free silver coinage.
Success beyond the most sanguine
expectations has been achieved. Two
years have witnessed a political revo-
luton which eliminated at Chicago in
the triumph of silver and the selection
of Mr.. Bryan as Democracy's candi-
date for president.
To-day Mr.. Bryan is on his way to
New York, where he will formally ae-
cept the greatest honor and highest
responsibility which can be rendered
any man. This, then, is an approprl-
ate time to announce that Mr. Bryan s
work as editor has been finished He
will be succeeded by Mr. r. L. Met
calfe, who has been Mr.. Bryan's assoc
ciate, and who for several years has
held the 1abOring oar in the editorial
work upon the World-Herald.

THURSTON QUIzZED.
Members of the Audience Ask Cues
tions But He Does Not Answer
Them.

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. Ex-senator
Thurston addressed a large audience
here Saturday night. The iron com
panies, which own two railroads, ran
free excursion trains into the city from
the ranges and paid their men for any
time they were compelled to lose in or
der to come. In one place the Senator
said:
Every dollar now is as good as an
other, silver dollars and gold dollars
are equal"
A man in the crowd asked:
why don't they pay silver to the
foreigners instead of goId?"
But the Senator did not hear him.
He said that the country has gold, sill
yer and paper money, and someone in
the crowd asked: How about pri-
mary redemption money!" but re-
ceived no answer. He said that wher-
ever there was free coinage today
that that country was on a standard
of silver recommendation. And the
voice again asked:
Are any of them going to ruin?'
But Senator Thurston did not
answer.
In the course of his remarks he said
that he had met the Democratic nomi-
nee in debate on the silver question
and worsted him. Thurston said that
he had never made a speech advOcat-
ing the free coinage of silver. He
spoke of Bryan only twice, and never
mentioned Towne's name. 1t is
thought the Republican managers here
cautioned him. as they feared a dem
onStratiOn if he did so.
