That Snub Of Rryan.

An Omaha special dispatch to the
Chicago Chronicle saws:
The true inwardness of how Will
liam j. Bryan, the last democratic
nominee for president, came to con-
meet himself with the volunteer army
OF the United States by entering as
private in the 3rd Nebraska infantry
has been made known to small cir
Gle OF confidential friends here.
Those who know the facts believe
MIR. Bryan should he set right before
the country in view of the adverse
criticism he has been subjected to in
certain quarters for having enlisted
as common soldier. On the dav
that it was officially announced that
Spain and the United States were at
war Mr.. Bryan sent personal COM
munication to President Mckinley
rendering his services to the country
in any capacity the president might
see fit to name. Mr.. Bryan cofidentlv
expected an early reply. He felt that
having been defeated by Mr.. McKin-
ley for the presidency, his exalted
rival would be at least gracious
enough to acknowledge the receipt of
the communication, whether he ac-
cepted the services rendered or not.
After waiting until May 90. approxi-
mately a full month, and receiving no
reply. Mr.. Bryan came to the concl u
sion that Mr.. Mckinley intended to
disregard his communication, and.
therefore. he offered his services to
Gov. Holcomb. of Nebraska. and be-
came a private in the volunteers of
that state.
Friends of Mr. Bryan say he feels
in no wise aggrieved, but these same
friends declare that they consider it
their duty to explain the situation in
view of the manner in which certain
opponents of Mr.. Bryan have placed
his enlistment as a matter of ridicule
before the public. They consider
that they are also justified in press.

he has enlisted in. considering the
distinction he has won before the
country in civil life
