"A portrait--one Of Mckinley on ma

and occupied I'm its four upper stories by T.

and employs several hundred hands
mostly girls.
During the Bryan meeting there wos
great Indignation among the Democratic
portion OF the crowd at the red flag,

Bryan. Mr. Bryan took no notice OF the
affront but one Of his lieutenants Mr.
