The Reporters With Bryan.

The press association correspondents
who have been swinging round the circle
with Presidential Candidate William ].
Bryan have had an unusually hard time
of it. The candidate never tires, and
takes the way trains, that he may address
the people. Every sort of Inconvenience
is experienced.
Utterly tagged out the newspaper men
were trying to get little sleep the other
night at a country hotel. The people
had not gone home after listening to Mr..
Bryan's address, but were standing about
discussing the unending money question.
Sleep was impossible.
One of the boys suggested a plan
There was an actor in the hotel who
looked somewhat like the candidate. He
was appealed to and consented to stop
the noise.
He stepped onto the balcony just out
side the window, thrust his hands into
his breast, and cried Felow-citizens!"
Instantly there was silence. Then the
crowd thought they recognized him and
hurrahed. He quieted them with a
motion OF his hand, and continued eve
can do it. We need not depend on any
other nation to preserve the parity be-
tween gold and silver. And now fel-
low.citizens, having settled this impor-
tant question, beg of you, for-'s sake,
disperse, 60 home and let us get some
sleep"
There were cheers, But two minutes
later there wasn't sound to be heard
save the SHORES of the fagged-out news
paper men,
At Columbus, Ohio. the newspaper
boys were overlooked in the arrangements
for the parade, They hired dray,
mounted it and rode behind the band.

The republican national committee
have announced that it should be the
duty ofevery citizen in every state who
loves his country and who wishes Bryan
ism and reputation and dishonor utter
~ destroyed to register and then to vote.
The republican state chairmen in the
Middle, Western and Northwestern states
who have been summoned to Chicago
have been instructed that they must get
out every vote on election day, no matter
if Bryan is already beaten. The COM
mand to the state chairmen is that
Bryan must be demolished.
1t was announced for the campaigners
Saturday that from this time on all the
efforts will be directed toward getting
the vote to the polls and having it cast.
To accomplish this for the next two
weeks the speakers bureau will bend
every effort to hold meetings in every
district all over the West, and to keep up
the enthusiasm and work. The national
committee will devote its entire time to
pertecting and Strengthening the organ
izations in every state, with view to
bringing out the vote. Chairman Hanna
and his colleagues on the committee do
not intend to make special demonstra-
ton in any state, nor concentrate their
efforts in any one region. Work will be
diffused over the entire United States,
and each district and county will be care
fully attended to.

THE POLITICAL POT.
Mckinley Campaign Song.


BY SIDNEY II. HATCH, Everett, Mass.
[Copywright.l
Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic.
From Maine to California there comes
ringing shout
From Oregon to Florida they fling their ban
ners out;
In one inspiring strain they join what is it
all about2
1t is the peoples voice:
vote for honest Bill Mckinley,
Vote for honest Bill Mckinley,
Vote for honest Bill Mckinley,
The nations pride and choice"
South and North,
With hosts of thinking artisans, skilled men
of honest worth
The bone and sinew of our land help shout
the war cry forth
With one united voice,
Chorus.
We want an honest currency that's good the
wide world through,
both brave and true
Our creed, protection for our own, beneath
red, white and blue.
With action and with voice,
Chorus.
The misrule of democracy has reused the
nations ire;
The earnest call for honest men spreads like
prairie fire;
The imbeciles al helm of state must speedily
retire,
And heed the nations voice,
Chorus.
The country calls for statesmen true not
sports with rod and gun,
Not pleasure-seekers who neglect their task
for boyish fun;
But stalwart leaders who will see the
nations work is done.
And make the land rejoice.
Vote for honest Bill Mckinley;
Vote for honest Bill Mckinley;
Vote for honest Bill Mckinley,
The nations pride and choice.

show signs of unmistakable appreciation
-"but the Macs are rising" A prediction

No Great Danger.

Prof. Lugger, state entsmologist,
writes as follows regarding the army
worm: II is sometimes recommended
to spray with Paris green all the plants

passes. It seems to me that is an ex-
cellent remedy in theory, but have
failed thus far to receive any good re-
suits from il.
Farmers need not fear REPETITION of

be exceptionally wet The very great
majority of these worms are doomed to
die by their numerous enemies, nor is
there any great danger that the army
worm viii ever eat fax, fear ex-
pressed by some people in their letters.
The food of the army worms is taken
solely from the grass family.

Gle, as by SO doing some damage and
much worry will be saved to the hard
working farmer who sees. in part, the
results Of his labors pass down the
voracious mouths of these worms.

London, July 31.-A Rome dispatch
says that although the report that Mgr.
Diomede Falconio would succeed Mgr.
Satolli as papal delegate TO the United
States had been hitherto entirely cred
tied at the vatican, the pope has ap-
pointed as Mgr. Satoili's successor Rev.
Sebastian Martinelli, prior-general of
the Augustin's Clauses and brother
of the dead Cardinal Martinelli. The
fact that the nomination had been
made has been kept secret, even
from the most intimate associates
of his holiness, and upon its be-
coming known occasioned a general
feeling of surprise. The pope's choice
is regarded as an excellent one. Rev.
Sebastien Martinelli is about so years
Of age. He is learned theologian and
is thoroughly versed in the foreign pol
icy of the vatican.
