THE PROGRAMME CHANGED.

When the show started East it was for
mally announced that after the notifica-
ton meeting Mr.. Bryan would speak in
Baltimore and Philadelphia, and then,
after spending week or so with Mr..
Sewall at his home in Bath, he would
speak at several points IN New England
and IN New York and Pennsylvania, after
which a swing westward would be made.
touching at all the principal industrial
stations. In changing the programme so
as to hurry Mr.. Bryan to the West and
South his managers virtually abandon all
the States east of Indiana to Major Nc
Kinley. AS a strictly political proposition
that was the wisest thing for the CAM
paign committee to do. Mr.. BRYAN failed
utterly to stampede the people at Madi-
son-square Garden as he did in the Chi
cago convention. He was not even a
twenty-four hours wonder.
In New England his party is crying for
campaign money more than they are cry
ing for Bryan speeches. There is abso-
luteIy no enthusiasm for the orator any
