Hon. John f. Kelly, candidate for at

to the electors of the state, showing from
official records that millions of dollars Of
the peoples money have been squandered
and corruptly diverted, and that thous-
ands of acres Of state lands have been
lost to the commonwealth under the Re-

conclusive proof and challenges his Re-

to discuss and dispute the question with
him during the campaign. Mr. Kelly is

The Christian Intelligencer is alarmed
because the English people are abandon
ing the established church of the refor-
nation, and says: There is unquestion-
ably decidtd tendency among the clergy
of the Church of England toward the
Roman church. The other denomina-
lions of Christians in Great Britain have
formed federation to oppose this sacer-
dotalism and endeavor to Romantic the
Christian people of Great Britain. The
membership of the churches of this alli-
ance is now larger than that of the
Church of England, and that majority
bids fair to increase steadily. The pros
pect is that in few years the Episcopal
church will cease to be the established
church of Great Britain.

The New York Sun refers to Donnclly's
assertion that the Populists sent Bryan

not equal to Disraeli's on Sir Robert Peel
and the Wigs. The ep,gram used by
Lord Beacons!leld originally appeared in
punch at the time of the reform move
ment and was, '"rhe Wings caught the
Tories in bathing and had run off with
their clothes.' Donnelly has no war
rant for speaking Of Bryan as he did ex-
cept for poetic license and that is more
fanciful than real. Bryan has always
been thorough-going Democrat.
