BRYAN IMPROVES
HIS GRAMMAR
The Chicago Grafton Is Dressed Up to
Leok Well In Print.
SMOOTnED INTO A MASTERPIECE
The Original Text Has Been Sub.
jected to Ils Changes..Several Mis-.
statements Corrected and New
Germs Of Thought Have Been
Added.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The first in
stnllment of the revised edition of Mr..
Bryan's Chicago speech was received
at Democratic headquarters to-day and
will soon be circulated, as there is an
enormous demand for the document.
AS indicated in these dispatches In an
interview with Senator Faulkner, the
changes have been immaterial and do
not In any way interfere with the orig
inal text or change the sentiment. 1t
bears evidences of having been careful
ly gone over by its author. for the al
terations in grammatical construction
and verbiage number 11S. The work
of revision, while quite elaborate. has
been chiefly confined to the insertion
or elimination of words and the trans
position of words and phrases. The
grammar has been vastly improved
and the whole speech smoothed over
into a more perfect masterpiece.
Chief among the corrections made Is
reduction from thirty to twenty
years as the period fixing the time
during which the Republicans have
tried to secure an international agree
ment. An entire new sentence appears
at the conclusion of the paragraph IN
which Mr.. Bryan defies the finding of
a record in history where the common
