offices. He made little comment The
handShaking was renewed everywhere
he stopped and it did not end until the
party. was locked in Governor 1eedy s
private office.
It was after the first excitement at
the hotel had subsidized that Grace
Bryan, the 6-year-old daughter of the
organs, complained of being tired.
II viii take care of her" said affable
Ed Murphy of Leavenworth.
Mr.. Bryan consigned Grace to Mr.
Murphy, and the two went out of the
hotel and up the street to the first
candy store, where Mr.. Murphy pur-
chased a supply of sweetmeats and the
child returned to the hotel happy.
When the party returned from the
state house it was late, and Mr.. Bryan
was allowed a little time to prepare for
the evening meal. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan emerged from their room Gov
ernor and Mrs. Leedy, Senator and
Mrs Harris and Mr.. Overmyer were
waiting and the party went upstairs
to supper They spent an hour in the
dining room and it was 1880 before
they came downstairs
John Schmidt, president of the Dem
ocratic Flambeau club, was waiting.
He requested Mr.. Bryan to visit the
club rooms after the meetings. I'VE are
the only Democratic organization in the
state" said Mr.. Schmidt, land this is
the first time that a presidential can
didate has ever been invited to visit
u.s.
Mr.. Bryan's face grew more serious
and he reflected moment Finally he
said: well I will go, but do not be-
lieve I ought to do so. 1t is just this
way in every place that visit and it is
simply impossible for me to do all L
would like to. I got up a O'Clock this
morning and they have kept me on the
go ever since and they would keep me
awake until o'clock in the morning.
So you see there must be an end to my
endurance" But he said he would go
and he did.
The women were more persistent than

have said often that 1 think the silver
cause will win and will have to make
you the same answer 1 confess that it
becomes somewhat monotonOuS to me
to see the same things printed in the
papers day after day as coming from
me- There is no help for it, however.
If do not say the same things could
not be consistent"
Then MIR. Bryan added almost play
fully: III tell you what you had bet
ter do. boys. just leave out the quota
tons and put in a good deal of descrip-
ton. That can be new
Then the man from Lincoln discussed
various things connected with his ca
reer, which as he said, have often been
printed, and are therefore not repeated
here.
David Overmyer of Topeka kept close
to Mr. Bryan during his stay in Topeka
for he is his most intimate friend. When
myer stood just behind him and if Mr.
Bryan ever gets to be president-weIl
Mr. OVermyer may at least be in the
cabinet
Which all goes to prove that it was
not Mr. Bryan who suppressed David
Overmyer's letter al the Lincoln ban
quet.
Mr.. Bryan is paying the penalty of
his popularity and any one who kept
close to him during his stay in Topeka
Will admit that popularity has it's draw
backs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and their little
daughter left at o'clock this morning
on the Rock Island for Jefferson City
where the scenes of yesterday will no
doubt be re-enacted on a smaller scale
at the Missouri capital.

MITCHELL WITHDRAWS.
he Gives Up the Fight for the Oregon
Senatorship.

Salem. Ore. Feb. pa letter from Sen
ator Mitchell addressed to Senator
Hughes. chairman of the Republican eau
Gus was read in the conference yeSter-
day. Senator Mitchell reviews the facts
of his nomination by the Republican eau
Gus, the subsequent refusal of the min
GRITTY to qualify and permit the house to
be organized. and closes by releasing bis
supporters from any further obligation.
He says:
In view of the present status of the
United States senate and as it will be aft
er the 4th of March next it is of the ut
most Importance that Oregon should at
this time elect a senator.
1T is your duty to elect a Republican
senator if in your power. 1 have repeat
eddy stated to each of you individually
during the last thirty days, L do not claim
to control your judgment or assume any
right to direct your forces. Therefore.
when you can your way clear to
choose a Republican senator other than
myself, then you must not for one mo-
1nent permit the fact of my nomination or
candidacy to stand in the way In other
words, 1 am in your hands; you have
made me your nominee, do with me as
you please and viii be content. Do your
whole duty to the Republican party, state
or Oregon and the nation"

publican.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 2O.-An informal re-
ception was extended Senator Kyle last
night in the rooms of the Teton club.
Major Picker and other Republican
leaders spoke-alI regulating the idea
that there had been any barter and
sale.
Senator Kyle was then called upon
and spoke briefly, defending his position
and he said that for years ne had been
a Republican and that he had certain
positive convictions upon certain eco
nomic questions that were nearly. ex-
pressed IN the Populist platform; that
the country had spoken upon the tariff
question and ne was willing TO vote for
a Republican tariff measure and that he
would in no way be an obstructionist-
He denied that there was any bar
gain In closing, he said he would en-
deavor to vote in the senate for the
best interests of his Republican con-
stituents, which confirms the outline
given last night that Mr. Kyle would be
in all practical intents and purposes a
Republican in everything but name
The Republicans are satisfied with his
statement, but the Populists are still
unreconciled. As q matter of fact it is
one of the most notable instances OF
snatching victory from defeat known in
recent political history.

who strained every nerve to press the
hand of William ]. Bryan of Nebraska.
Topeka people have learned one thing
from Rryan's visit, and that is that he
is a man of the most wonderful COM
composure ever seen in Topeka. He
shook the hands of the men and wo-
men who fought to get to him as if he
enjoyed the experience.
Immediately after he made his short
speech from the balcony of the hotel
yesterday he was surrounded by a
crowd of all kinds of people. To every
one he spoke pleas unity.
How do you do, Mr.. Bryan. I saw
you at Chicago sai6 one man.
Yes, yes" replied Mr.. Bryan, IT am
glad to see you again.

CANNON FIRED.
Something of Clash Between
captain Phillips
OF Battery B and POpuliSt Exc
cutive Authority,
OVER FIRING SALUTE
In Bryan's Honor on His Arriv-
al Yesterday.
Capt. Phillips, Republican,
Pulls Out Regulation.
BUT GOV. LEEDY SAYS
He Would Fire the Cannon For
Amy Great American,
Mckinley, Harrison or Cieve-
land, and Orders It Fired.

A disa greement over military regula-
lions yesterday between Captain H. NJ
Philips, commander of Battery b in this
city and the commanding officers was
suddenly ended by Governor Leedy who
said
Take the cannon out and fire sa-
lutte in honor of Mr. Bryan. The state
will furnish the powder Go ahead"
Captain Philips suggested that there
was nothing in the regulations prOvid-
ing the number of guns which should be
fired for a private Individual AS to
what transpired Immediately there
after authorities differ. One says 1t
was the governor who spoke up, anOth-
er says it was Adjutant General Allen.
Whichever it was said: We don't
care anything about the regulations in
this matter The cannon must be fired
and If that is not done court martial
will follow"
Governor Leedy says those were not
his words.
Captain Philips, with an order from
the adjutant general then went to the
basement and had the cannon dragged
out, and under orders from the com
mander-in -chief, the governor, fired
salute of IT guns at 1890.
Gov. Leedy said
There are a few men in the United
States who are above military regula-
tions. Mr.. Bryan is one of them. Were
Mr.. Mckinley to come to Topeka, the
cannon should be fired for him.
Although 1 do not love Cleveland if
he should come to Topeka after his
term of office as president expires, the
cannon will be fired for him if there is
any powder on the tOwnsite.
Il believe that Gen. Harrison is an
other OF our distinguished American cit
liens who is worthy of a military salute
whether or not the regulations of the
Kansas National Guard provide the
number of guns which may be fired. Ii
he should come to Topeka it will be &C
corded him.
Capt. Philips is Republican and the
PopulistS cry that his solicitude about
his duties was but a subterfuge to evade
comforting honor upon Mr.. Bryan.
The attitude of Gov. Leedy upon this
subject would leave no doubt as to
what should be done. AS commanders
in-chief he is able to order the battery
out at any time he deems it proper.
