Mr.. AND MRS. BRYAN's SIMPLICITY.
| In New York Their Dress and Manners
| Were Purely Democratic.

In New York Their Dress and Manners
Were Purely Democratic.
W. f. Curtis, IN Chicago Record
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan have made
an exceedingly pleasant impression
upon the few who have met them
socially here, and it is unfortunate
that they have not had an opportun-
ity to see more of New York.
Their Democratic manners have
also created an impression. Mr..
Bryan has been wearing the same
suit of clothes that he wore at the
Chicago convention, and Mrs. Bryan
added nothing to her wardrobe for
this visit to the metropolis. The
plainess of her dress has attracted
universal comment. In the great
crowd at Madison Square Garden
the other night there were possibly
700 or 800 women, and not one of
them was more plainly dressed than
she. A woman reporter from one of
the city papers has been investigat-
ing Ler wardrobe, and her jewels,
and has discovered that the diamond
earring story is myth. Mrs. Bryan,
she reports, has just four pieces of
jewerly-a gold comb, which was a
present, and three rings, including
the wedding ring that was los. al
Pittsburg the other day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan went to Coney
Island the other day by the cheapes,
route, and one that is patronized by
the common people, and in then
journey to lrvington yesterday they
| declined to take seats in a parloi
: ear because they were not accus
toned to such luxury, and wanted
to conduct themselves here just d
they did at home. Mr.. Brisba
P Walker, thoroughbred Bohemian
\ who has won large amount G
e money by his genius, did not appea
E E to notice this self-denial, but Nj
Sewall, who is accustomed to a.
forms of luxury, seemed inclined t
protest against such Democratic sin
pljcity

With the Gilman

Democratic Champion Will Debate Only
With the Ohioan.
UPPER RED HOOK, n. Y, Aug. 90
William j. Bryan threw down the
gauntlet today to Major Mckinley. 1t
was dignified challenge, for in it he
refused to discuss the issues of the
campaign with any person except the
one that stands his equal in office-seek-
ing ambition. He was asked if he in
tended to answer Mr.. Cochran. and
said in answer that he was receiving
many invitations from prominent men
to debate the silver question. In or
der to avoid further invitations of this
nature, he said he would not consider
any proposition to debate any Dues
tiOn with anybody during the cam
paign unless a debate should be ar
ranged between Mr.. Mckinley and
himself, and he added that so far as he
knew no plan for such a debate was
under consideration by either ma
tiOnal committee.
