They are all corrupt Every man here
who opposes the Endorsement or nomina-
ti0n OF Bryan Is corrupt I know them,
and they know that / know them. They
are opposed by their actions TO the great
crime OF 1873. What we want is more
currency. BY the crime Of 1873 the cur
rency was contracted one-half and the
circulation per capita has been dwindling
ever since"
But. Mrs. Lease" said a reporter. you
must be misinformed. The increased cir
culation per capita has been very marked
within the last few years up to a year
or so ago; in fact II advanced from 1873.
when IL was Sl4 per capita, 10 something

where do you get your lying hgures?"
shouted Mrs. Lease. do you get your
lying figures from that lying Secretary
OF the Treasury"
Mrs. Lease was in a dreadful excited
frame OF mind, and she roared forth: IF
the gold standard is in operation for an

He was a long. lank. but eloquent south
erner says the Sun special. He argued on
the initiative, and the referendum, the di-
rect legislation, and the government own
ership Of railroads, and he wound up with
this:
There's an overproduction OF cotton,
An Overproduction Of corn;
Too many people born;
A surplus yield OF wheat and bread,
OF potatoes, oats and rye,
Hog and homlny, hams and eggs,
And homemade pumpkin pie.
Too much to eat, too much to wear,
And cattle on too many hills
Too many agricultural tools.
Too many scrapers, ploughs and drills.
There's a surplus now OF clothing.
OF every grade and kind;
Too many books and papers,
Too much thought and mind.
Too many men TO do the work,
Too many women to weep;
More daylight than the people need,
Too much night for sleep;
OF benedicts a surplus,
An oversupply Of wives;
Too many birds and blossoms,
More bees than there are hives.
More sunshine and more shadow
Than is needed for the dell;
An overproduction of gravestones,
More collins than well sell;
An overproduction of Ignorance.
A sight too many schools;
Too many poor, too many rich,
And lots too many fools.

Carl Browne of CoXey's army fame Is in
town. He is the chairman OF me District
of Columbia delegation. His costume and
appearance are even more striking than
those Of Davis. The ex-first Lieutenant OF
the defunct commonweal army is a COM
pactly built man, with the regulation pop-
ulistc chin whiskers, clad in a dark Prince
Albert coat and high-heeled cowboy boots.
But his browning glory is his hat. 1t Is a

sation this morning Browne said:
Our delegation, of which l am chair
man. is instructed for Bryan. Aside faom
that I am a stanch supporter of Bryan ]
think that he is a reincarnation of An
drew Jackson. He is at heart a populist
and in sympathy with the cause Of hu.
manity which he advocates"
Nat Ward Fitzgerald Of West Virginia
is here and is one of the ardent support
! ers of Bryan's candidacy, says the Suns
correspondence. Yesterday afternoon Mr.
Fitzgerald said;
Everybody remembers Prof. PhIegling.
the great German astrologer, who cast
such an accurate horoscope of Mr. Cleve-
land. and predicted that It the close of his
admins tration he would be outside the
ranks OF his own party. Well when Rrv-
an was nominated telegraphed to the pro
fessor the exact hour and minute of his
nomination, and the circumstances sur
rounding 1t. l have in my pocket a let
ter from Phlegling in which he gives me
Bryan's horoscope and predicts his tri-
umphant selection through the harmonic
ing of all elements. He goes on to say
that Mckinley will be abandoned by his
closest friends, and viii meet an over
whelming reverse"
Julia Caldwell of Donver arrived TODAY

He was about 20 years old. but he was
| vigorous, and he was laying down the
! law to the Bryan men, who were ap-
peaiing to him for support, says the Sun
| correspondents.
Now. you look a-here. In this here

money. Now, IL you can show me how

take up Bryan in a minute. Yer can't do
| it, and yer know yer can't"
None of the Bryan men could show him
how he could, and he went out making
anti-Bryan converts.
I'm a lunatic, a lunatic from Maine. a"
he screamed, says the Suns special. He
stood in the corridor of the Lin,lelI and
he had four bushels of whiskers around
him in about a minute. He repeated:
Il m a lunatic from Maine; leastwise the
people IN my town tell me I'm lunatic
