and society follow the gentlemen riders and
increase the attendance. Though there
were cnly three starters in the pink coat
race of last Thursday, the event called
forth rounds of applause, owing to the fact
that the riders went at the fences in more
of don't care sort of way than the pro-
fessional cross country jockeys. and the
pace set was so fast that one would almost
suppose it was a sprint race instead Of
route of three miles over. The horses

National Steeplechase Association would
offer inducements there is little doubt that
races for this class OF horses would help
the promoters of crOss-country racing to
build UP the sport. 1t was the universal
opinion of those who saw these races at
Baltimore and Washington that nothing
like it had been seen east, and that the rid

tion before they make out their programs

MIR. BRYAN'S VIEW.

ton.

lac discusses the Result of the EIec.
In the December number of the North
American Review. Mr.. Bryan has an
article. In which he discusses the result
of the election. as affecting the status of
the silver question. The issue on which
the election turned he describes as the
greatest issue ever submitted to the Amer
ican people in time of peace" The declar-
alton of the Chicago convention in favor
of the free coinage of silver forced upon
the people of this country a study of the
money question in general: and within the
last four months more people have been
simultaneously engaged in its considera-
ton than ever before in the history of the
world. The result of this study Mr. Bry-
all declares, to be Temporary defeat but
permanent gain for the cause of bimetaI-
lism'
Mr.. Bryan regards it as a significant fact
tnat the silver sentiment was strongest
where the question had been longest con-
sidered; that IS to say, in the west and
south. In Mr.. Bryan's opinion, the cause
of bimetallfsm made more rapid progress
than any cause ever made in such short
time. Mr.. Bryan expresses his assurance
that the election can be by no means re-
garded as a conclusive settlement of the
question at issue. The advocates of free
coinage are convinced. he says, that they
are laboring in behalf of a large ma jorIly
of the people, not only here, but through
out the world; and. according 10 the writer,
they propose 20 continue their contest con-
fident that four more years of experience
will convince many who have thus far re-
sisted arguments.
This confidence. Mr.. Bryan says, is con-
firmed by the history of recent elections
Mr.. Greeley was defeated in 1872 and yet
Mr.. Tiiden Was elected in 1876. Mr. Blaine
was defeated in 1854, but Mr. Harrison
was elected In 1888. The republican VIC
tory of 1SSS was followed by the demo-
cratic victory of 1880. and the election of
President Cleveland two years later
Mr.. Bryan counsels the successful party
to remember that thousands of republicans
have been held to their party this year by
the pledge that it will try to secure inter-
national bimetallsm.
In reference to the gold standard demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Bryan is assured that they can
rot do as much in 1900 as they have done
this year. They have declared their af-
fection for democratic principles, while
they spared no effort to secure the sue
cess of the opposing ticket. They can
not" he says, disguise themselves again.
