boy. II am Just holding the tail; 1t 10 the cat

those who have censured Bryan for disturbing
the harmony Of the Democratic party. He went
over the old ground about the honest dollar and
the scarcity Of gold. which lowered the market

At Fresno the boy orator was received by

and another speech reminded the audience
that, In Mr.. Bryan's opinion. the silver ques-

at the hour I write he is addressing q crowd at
Fiesta Park.

young lawyer OF Bakersfield, can hardly speak
for the regular Democracy OF this State. The
champions who led the Democrats TO victory in
