charge made last fall that Mr.. Bryan in his
speeches had advised his supporters to wear
Mckinley badges and participate in Republican
parades with intent to deceive was given to
the press to-day by the Ex-Governor.
Late In November Gen. Thaycr wrote to Mr..
Bryan asking IL the charge was true. He re-
ceivcd no reply, and some months later no re-
peated the inquiry. Mr.. Bryan replies, virtu-
ally admitting that he so advised voters, and
justifying his action. Mr.. Bryan's letter follows:
" The Hon. John u. Thdper. Lincoln, Neb.
my DEAR SIR: 1 am just in receipt Of your

Mr.. Ingalls,, the President of "a railroad,

during the campaign. and denounces Mr.. Bryan
for practising what he terms hypocrisy and

ECONOMICAL AND SCIEN,
TIFIC COOKING.

T London Lancet" is the highest medical
authori y in England, II not in the world, and
its remarks on cooking by gas arc worth every
body's attention. 1t states tho simple fact when
IL says that gas must be much more econ9micail
than coal, because most of the heat OF coal
necessarily goes up tho chimney, whereas the
full OBJECT of gas is used to, cook tho food: Then.
as to tho nature OF the cooking, II says: 'Conso'
duent ON tho sharp heat and n plentiful supply
OF air around tho Joint cooked, the juices Of tho
meat arc kept In, while tho excess Or fat
is eliminated. This Is the reason why IN
cooking with gas the Joint Is invariably,
richer in gravy constituents The Lancet
adds that gas Is equally applicable to grilling,
cooking pastry, bread making. boiling. and most
other culinary operations; moreover. our IN.
~spection has satisfied us that In gas cooking
stoves, as In gas heating stoves. the products of
combustion are complete. and that smoke or SCOT
Is never produced" There Is nothing accidental
about the growing use of the gas range. IL has
on its side all the arguments of ease, comfort,
economy, and. MS tho quotations from The
Lancet show, has also the highest scientific and
medical ndorsemcnt-ddr.

FREE SILVER DEAD IN KANSAS.

and Assn Il the Federal Court.
TOPEKA. Kan. Aug. 13.-The Populists Of
Kansas have decided that free silver is a dead
issue, and the leaders of the party propose to
make the abolition Of the Federal courts the
principal issue of tho next campaign, hoping
also to secure its adoption as one of
the principal planks in the platform of the next
national convention. The Populist State Com
mittee has decided to issue "A call for n Ma
.tional Convention or conference of the leaders
and committeeman from various states in the
Union at an early date to consider this new
scheme, which was suggested by q. c. Clemens
of Topeka. This means an entire reorganiZa-
ton of the party on new lines.
Free silver and Government ownership of rail
roads, Subj reasury land and loan theories, all
cardinal principles OF the old.line Populists. are
to be abandoned. and the party elevated to the
position from which an attack upon the Federal
judiciary is to be made. This proposed action
will cause n split in the party at once.
Democracy clubs are being organized and the
Middle-of-the-R Road faction is gaining new ac-
cessions. consisting of men who oppose the
adoption Of a single idea upon which to conduct
State or national campaigns.
The plan Is creating great opposition. but the
leaders assert their only salvation Is to be found
In destroying the Federal courts. This is Il re-
suit Of the fight between the State administra-
tion and New York insurance companies.
