BRYAN is POPULAR.
Something About the Attitude Of the Kansas
POpnllst Press Toward Him and
the Platform.

the Platform.
There can be no question about the
feeling in Kansas toward Mr.. Bryan.
The Populist press is almost unanimously
in favor Of his nomination at st. Louis
The ADVOCATE has taken the trouble tc
compile the references made TO him by
the reform newspapers ia their last
weeks issues. The result 10 surprising
1t is shown clearly that Kansas is well
pleased with the Chicago nominee. II
Is shown equally as clearly that Kansas
is in favor Of his nomination at st. Louis.
1t is not possible to use space enough
to quote any Of the papers in full, but
the following statement from each shows
plainly the ideas advanced by each.
The Eureka Union says: "There is
practically unanimous demand for all
Populists and silver men to unite in the
support Of Bryan"

favor Of it (the nomination of Bryant"
SRlinR Union: Nominate him."
Clark County Clipper; "The Peoples
party convention should not indorse, but
nominate W. j, Bryan as it's candidate"
Almena Plslndesler: "Populists can
unite on Bryan, and it will not be at the
expense Of principle.
Goodland Republic: "BrySn is q man
the Populists and Silver men can con-
scientiously indorse."
The Norton Liberator thinks Bryan
should be nominated.
OskaloOss Times: "Bryan is good

markets that they have resolved to re-
open again the mines Of Colorado, the
best home market they ever had, closed
by the gold standard. Admitting that
an eventual benefit is to spring from a
policy Of protection, they are opposed to
leaders who put together system of
taxation which increases the price Of
nearly everything we buy and decreases
the price OF everything we sell, From
every Kansas homestead the voice Of
desperation cries out against a system
under which incomes dwindle and debts
double. Though every political slave
driver at st. Louis cracks his party lash
across our backs, they shall not plant
another Sicily here on the plains Of
Kansas.
"They have thrown down the gsunt-
let and we cannot honorably avoid the
conflict. Within the last twelve months
we have been told that we hold the right
Of trial by jury at the sufferance Of
federal judges. King Charles lost his
head for less. Within the last twelve
months they suddenly discover that the
great fortunes OF millionaires cannot be
taxed to sustain the republic. King
George lost an empire for less reason.
"In a few days William J. Bryan,
from the prairies Of Nebraska, withstand
in Madison Square Garden-the cham
pion Of Lazarus at the gates Of Dives
"The people have accepted the
challenge Wall street issued at st. Louis.
So we are assembled in the assured con-
Viction OF the ultimate and believe the
immediate triumph Of the peoples cause.
To doubt it is TO impeach the intelligence
OF the American people; to deny it is to
question the justice Of the Great Creator.
We believe that this country is still ruled
not by the almighty dollar but by an
Almighty God"

New York, Sept. 20.--W Within a week

shore and the level plains of the m o.

slashing big horses, taking fenc s,

walls and everything that comes III
their way with the breezy nonchalance
which only the real hard rioer can ais
play under like circumstances
The fox hunting season will soon be
in full cry, and then the women OF the
smart set will forget all about bicycles
and golflng sticks. These latter will
be cast aside as affairs too tame Tor
use, and all the attention dat mas
been layished upon them for mon MS
past will be concentrated upon ridi 1g
clothes and the stables which shelter
madam's hunters.
From this it must not be imagined
that every woman in the swell set Of
New York rides to hounds At the
most, the total number is not grea' or
than three score. for fox hunting is a
rare sport, requiring rare nerve, raro
sense and rare horsemanship. Not every
woman possesses these qualities. BIT

the popular idea that the woman of
fashion is merely some dainty thing

from three feet to five feet one inrh.
1t is considered stiff run where there
are sixty jumps TO Twelve mills.
Moreover, the pace was exceedingly
fast. the run being made in an hour.
Partly because fashionable women
take part in the hunts, and partly be-
cause the aniseseed bag is used instead
of wild fox, some people are inclined
to sneer at the Eastern cross counl ~
rides and deride them as childish
affairs. But if these sneerers could
take part in one of these hunts they
would probably change their MINDS
about the alleged tameness.
Regarding the use Of the anisesecd
bag, it should be understood that 1t is
not employed for the purpose of rob
bling the hunt of it's dangerous featur $.
On the contrary, it increases the dan
ger, for it always makes the pace
doubly fast When running after a
wild fox the hounds freque lilly lose he
scent, and there are always one or two
waits, or more. until they find it again.
This gives a breathing time for the
riders But with the aniseseed Dag
there is no losing the scent. The
hounds follow it clear and fast, and
the riders must keep up with them
or acknowledge that they have no BUSH
ness in such company.
The aniseseed Dag is employed De-
cause the majority of the hunting set
are men with business cares, who can
only give two afternoons a week %
the sport. They arrange to be at he
meet at certain hour and if long
time were wasted in stirring up a I TX,
the pleasures of the hunt would be
greatly diminished Sometimes the
hunts take place in the morning, and
many of the riders expect TO get
through in time to go to town in the
afternoon to attend to their business
affairs. Foxes are uncertain animals
and in all probability they would carry
the riders long way from a railroad
before falling a victim to the speed of
the hounds. For these reasons The
aniseseed bag is used, although at reg
