BRYAN'S CHICAGO GRAFTON
THANKS TO lis CORRECTIONS, VASTLY IMPRov-
ING THE GRAMMAR, IT is NOW "A MORE
PERFECT MASTERPIECE THAN
BEFORE.

Washington. Aug. 6.-The first instament OF the
revised edition OF Mr.. Bryan's Chicago speech was
received at Democratic headquarters to-day, and
will soon be circulated. IT bears the evidences Of
having been carefully gone over by its author for
the verbal and grammatical altera lions number 1ls
The grammar, according TO Senator Faulkner, has
been vastly improved and the whole speech
snoothed over into "a more perfect masterpiece"
Chief among the corrections made is a reduction
from thirty 10 twenty years the period fixing the
time during which the Republicans have tried TO
secure an international agreement An entire new
sentence appears at the close OF the paragraph in
which Mr.. Bryan defes the finding of a record In
history where the common people Of any land have
declared in favor of the gold standard this new
sentence reading as follows: They can find where
the holders Of fixed investments have declared for
a gold standard but not where the masses have"
The extracts from the speech of Secretary Carlisle
are quoted as Is also the closing reference TO the
crown Of thorns and the of gold thus remov-
ing the charge Of plagiarism that has been made i'm
some quarters. The entire speech has been re-
Photographed and much attention given to the pune
tuaton. THE speech will be found" said Senator
Faulkner. TO contain only such corrections as are
needed TO correct the errors that might naturally
found In speech that has been taken down steno-
graphically and not subjected 10 the scrutiny Of the
man who delivered It,"
