BRYAN DOWN ON THE BoLTERS
SAYS THEY MUST COME RACK AS
SILVERITES III AT ALL.

He Does Not Want to BE Regarded
as IA Leader, But simply as an Orr
binary Worker in the Cause--Stin
would Bring Prosperity TO the
Country.
Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 16.-William Jen
nings Bryan was in Kansas City short
time this evening, arriving at o'clock
from Lincoln and leaving at 9:45 o'clock
for a two weeks hunting and fishing trip
in the Ozarks, in Taney county, Missouri,
He will join a party consisting of Gov
William j. Stone, Senator James X. Jones
of Arkansas, Daniel w. Campau of Mich
igan, George II. Mccain of Springfield
Mo-, Hon. Sam B. Cook of Mexico, Mai
Harvey w. Salmon of Clinton, Mo-. and
Col. M. c. Wetmore of St. Louis. The
two weeks will be spent upon a T,OOO-acrs
game preserve in Taney county, right in
the heart Of the Ozarks. The preserve
is stocked with deer, bear turkey and
quail.
During his brief stay in this city Mr.
Bryan gave the Southern Associated Press
representative a short interview He said (;
81 have no intention of removing from
Lincoln. l see no necessity for 1t. l pro-
pose to do all ! can for the cause Of free
silver. l do not want to be regarded as
a leader, but simply as an ordinary
worker, confident that the sentiments
advocate mean prosperity for the coun-
try. The cause is stronger to-day than
ever and will grow daily. When the peo-
pie are enlightened on just cause they
will see it's merit. Education can do moth
ing to hurt the cause of silver This
year we got the heaviest vote In states
where free silver had been longest lis,
cussed. Where it has been presented to
the people only in limited way. 1t did
not do as well.
kentucky is an instance. While the
democrats lost 60 900 votes, the vote was al
most a tie. This shows the result of the sill
yer cause. The people are seeing the light
and will learn for themselves
'"The gold democrats, IL they come back
to the democratic party, must come as sill
yer men. There is no room for two repub-
lican parties in this country. The gold
democrats cannot come back to the party
and run 1t on republican ideas. They left
because of the platform, called me popu-
list long before the Chicago convention
and unless they have changed their views
must stay with the republicans. The dem
ocratic party is committed to silver and
will continue to fight for it"
| Mr.. Bryan Is looking well and outside OF
his voice. which is yet weak, Is in re.
| markably good health.

Hon. Steve Clay, as a boy, worked on
a farm in Cobb county and secured an
education by his own efforts. He studied
law and was admitted to the bar in Ma
rietta, his sole capital when he hung out
his shingle being SO cents in cash and
single suit of clothes. He made his APP
pearance in politics in the latter 70s,
when he was elected from Cobb county
as member of the legislature. He serv-
ed some years, and the third term in 1889
was elected speaker of the House at the
same time when Hon. F. G. duBignon
was president of the Senate. He presided
over the House with dignity, and was
very popular among the members. At
tho next session of the general assem-
bly, he was elected a senator from the
Thirty-fifth district, and was elected pres
ident of the Senate without opposition.
He was factor in much important legis-
lation, and often took the floor to favor
measures Of merit. In the convention
which nominated Gov. Northen in 1890
there was a contest for the position of
Attorney General between the late George
N Lester, a one-armed ex-confederate
soldier and Col. Clifford Anderson, the
profound and brilliant Attorney General
of the preceding administrations. The
most telling speech ever made in the Geor-
gia capitol in nominating a candidate for
Office was made by Mr.. Clay in nominat-
ing Mr.. Lester 1t carried the convention
off its feet, and Lester swept the con-
vention, when Gov. Atkinson became
the democratic nominee in 1894 he was
succeeded as chairman of the state exec
utive copmittee by Mr.. Clay. 1t was a
memorable campaign, in which the pop
ulist forces were led by Watson, who es-
tablished a daily paper in Atlanta as a
campaign organ and organized his forces
systematically. In the face of this oppo-
sition so skilfully directed, Mr.. Clay or
ganized the democratic forces, and a ma
jority of 1900 to $4,000 was given the state.
This year he held the same position and
worked night and day, winning a bril-
liant victory, with the majority increased
to $4,000 on the state ticket

man interested in the contest. Mr.
duBignon had claimed fifty votes before
the caucus met. and before it was over
his man had a good many more than
that. From then on there was a steady in
crease in the Clay column and as Mr.. du-
Bignon gave out each successive esti-
mate his claims were verified by the vote
OF the caucus. He had his campaign or
ganized as no other man in the race had
attempted, and the correctness of his
claims as demonstrated now en-
titles him to the degree of past
grew his confidence in his nomination ill.,
creased. He has claimed that he would
win since last Thursday. He would have
undoubtedly won on the first ballot Friday
but for the unforeseen introduction Of
the name of Mr.. Lewis, who had with
drawn. Since that time it has been, the
field against Mr.. Clay Mr. Howell and
his friends made every effort to get other
candidates in for the purpose of deadlock
ing the caucus, and thus causing Mr..
Clay's defeat, but available timber of the
silver variety was so scarce in the
senatorial market that no one
could be found who could
stem the tide. At the eleventh hour to-
day, Hon. Patrick Walsh was brought
in, and Hon. T. NJ Norwood of Savan-
nah, but neither could attract enough
strength to bring about the desired re-
suit. But for Mr.. duBignon, who had
South Georgia at his back Mr.. Norwood
might have drawn heavily from Mr.. Clay,
but his entry was too late to win against
the organization that confronted him.
Mr. Norwood received the votes of
Messrs. Meldrim of Chatham, Morgan of
Bryan, Mansfield of Mcintosh, and Sen
ator Flewellyn, but the other Chatham
votes went to Mr.. Howell. Mr.. Lewis
was also brought into the field again
to-day against his express wishes, but
this also failed to stem the tide toward
Mr.. Clay.
