Mrs. Bowline, who is So and rather fine
looking, was up to his game.
"No, you can't" said she "My mother

BY the Adirondack woodsmen along
the banks Of the West Canada creek the

the foxes.

BUFFALO. Aug 2s.-Upon their arrival
in the city from Erie at $50, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan were escorted to the Genessee hotel.
There they were quartered in apartments
which had been occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland just before the election of the
president to his Office and upon the walls
of which hung portraits Of the president
and his wife. A reception was held for
two hours at the hotel.
Mr.. Bryan was escorted to the hall by
the Cleveland Democracy, the city's old
est party organization, and by ward clubs
bearing torches The line of march was
along half mile of Main street, crowded
almost as thickly as was the hall, and red
hreand cannon announced the candidates
coming. In the hall the crowd amused
itself listening to an eccentric gentleman
In the gallery, who loudly read an original
poem having the refrain: "Bill Bryan,
dear Bryan, stand first in the fight"
When the candidate appeared upon the
stage, escorted by State Committeeman
John c. Cuneen, the police were powerless
to control the audience and swarming
down to the front several hundred men
took possession Of the seats reserved for
the clubs which escorted Mr.. Bryan.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2s Moro than 600
delegates to the national sound-money
convention have engaged rooms at the
various hotels in this city, and the indica-
lions now are that the hostelries will be
crowded to their utmost limit. 1t seems
pretty certain that Senator :Coffery, Of
Louisiana, will be permanent chairman.
The letters received at headquarters indi-
cate that at this time three men are under
consideration by the leading sound-money
men of the country-SenatorV Villas, Henry
Watterson, and William L. Wilson, post
master general. Wilson appears to be the
choice of large number Of Democrats
throughout the country and those who
are in touch with the movement say they
will not be surprised if his boom takes on
a rapid growth. But the "tip" has gone
out for Villas and Villas and Buckner it
will be, it is beloved.
