A ROYAL RECEPTION

 Itinerary.

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 3.-The steam launch Phoebe, with the Hon. w J. Bry- an, ex-Gov. Hogg and other members of the duck-hunting party, returned to the City about noon today. The party killed about 125 ducks and several brant and geese. MT. Bryan carried off the honors in the slaughter of ducks, but the ex- governor beat him killing geese.
 The news of the distinguished Ne braskan's arrival spread rapidly, and he and his party had scarcely reached the Fremont hotel before it was thronged by people eager to shake his hand. After gratifying the crowd MT. Bryan, eX-Goy. Hogg and Col. Moody went to the house of Sealy Hutchins for lunch. After lunch MT. Bryan returned to the Fremont and held a public reception in the parlors Of the hotel from to o'clock, which was largely attended by both sexes. At the close of the reception he made brief speech. He was then driven to the resi- dsnce of Col Moody, where he took tea. Tonight he delivered his lecture on bi- metallism to a large and enthusiastic audience at the Grand opera house, and was heartily applauded. After the lec- ture hundreds waited his advent from the stage to take him by the hand, and as he emerged from the opera house he was enthusiastically cheered.
 Later he stated to a representative of the Southern Associated Press: Il shall leave at 6:30 in the morning for Temple. From there will go to Belton to see MT. Winburn Pierce. From Belton l will go to Honey Grove, where I have a sister urday I mean to start for my home in Nehra ska ''

BEWARE OF THE FUTURE.
Canebrake Herald.


 Dear old Grandma has been partially on the mourners' bench for some time, so we have been dealing tenderly with her. However, she takes occasion to put construction on the resolution of the state executive commitatee, which is not allowable and must be challenged, even under the present conditions, Speaking of the resolution, the Advertiser says: "Of course, if the party abandohs it's principles, those who have pledged them selves to support it's ticket are dissolved from their obligations $" ~
 Now, the resolution of the committee was not lworded in such way as to ad- init of that construction-on the con trary. this is the very construction it seeks to avoid. That construction avoids the force of the action of the committee. There are tribunals greater than the in- dividual democrats, which decide what are the principles of democracy.
 These tribunals are state and national conventions, and by their action the party is bound. The spirit of the resolu- tions of the committee is one of pardon, coupled with warning, as though it said You who have followed off after politi- cal Baalim are permitted to return and participate in the deliberations of de- mocracy, but remember, by so doing you are bound by the result. You are ex- cused this time, but beware of a future repetition of the offense.'

PETER F DALEY.

Peter F. Daley, who, with the excellent Daley comedy organization, appears here tomorrow night, is acknowledged to be the most original comedian now be- fore the public. MT. Dailey's methods are all his own, and his remarkable sue cess has brought to the front many would-be imitators. This eminent crea- tor of laughter has made the success or his career this season in the new farce, "A Good Thing" which has set the pub lie of Boston, New York. Philadelphia and Chicago laughing with his irresist- able humor and funny situations. Like all other successful laugh producers, "A Good Thing" aims ct satire, and this time it is the auction mart and the ladies sem mary which are forced to stand the brunt of the fun-making. Daley brings with him most remarkable array of vaude- vile and variety talent, each member of the entire twenty-six being a specialist of considerable merit.
 Cissy Fitzgerald, who appears in "The Foundling' one night, Feb. 12, at the opera house, succeeded in being the most talked of young woman in New York last winter, during the run of The Found- ling" She was the fashionable rage. Her dancing with such splendid reckless ness, and her high-toe achievements was the talk of the town Her dance is called the "winking dance' "The Founding is the funniest play that ever reached this country via London. Cissy Fitz- gerald, "Winking Cissy." as the New York press have named her, is salient feature of the representation. Besides Miss Fitzgerald, Manager Frohman sends his splendid organization, comprising Thomas Burns, Adolph Jackson Jacques Martin, Frank Baton, E. Soldene Powell, Walter Smith, J. w.
