1T IS ALL OVER.
Venezuelan Revolution Brought
to a Successful End.

Caracas, Venezuela, Oct. 20.-The
crisis is virtually over. Gen. Andrade,
the president has accepted the condi-
tons proposed by the insurgent COM
mander. Gen. Cipriano Castro and viii
go abroad, the presidency devolving up
on the vice president. Gen Castro will
enter Caracas peacefully tomorrow, thus
avoiding bloodshed and a dictatorship.
The final conference between Gen.
Castro and Senior Matos, the special
envoy of Gen. Andrade was held yes
terday. Gen. Castro proposes that a
popular convention should be assem-
bled. in twenty days Tor the election of
a new president and the adoption of

is, open for the dignified withdrawal of

WHY ONE THIRD.
Col. Bryan Can't See Why There
Should Be ANY Republic ans.

Napoleon, o., Oct. 2O.-The Bryan
Mclean special train left Defiance this
morning and the first stop was made
here. The visiting party was escorted
to the court house, where Congress
man D. D. Donovan introduced Mr.. Nc
Lean, who in turn introduced Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan said:
Il understand that one-third Of the
people of this country are Republicans
and I feel so bad that any one should
be a, Republican, that came here to
rescue the One-third.
In 1896 you gave something like 1,4OO
majority for the Democratic ticket out
of a total of less than $1,000 The Re
publican policy is so bad that there is
not a reasonable excuse for the minor
ity among you. There is no excuse for
the one-third.''
Mr.. Bryan related the story of the
young medical student who would bleed
every patient regardless of the disease
and when the patient became so weak,
he could stand it no longer the student
said he would prop him up in bed and
bleed him again. And that is the way
of the Republican party" continued the
speaker. 1T has bled you on the money
question, the tax question and every
other question which has come before
the country. The time has come when
the farmer, the plain laboring men can
not afford to throw his influence on the
side of the Republican party. / believe
in an income tax and believe it the
most just of all taxes. Why? Because
it measures the assessment by the re-
turns. If your income rises, your taxes
increase, and If your income declines,
your taxes decline. The proposition is
so clear to my mind, that I do not see
how any fair man can oppose it.
THE platform of 1896 favored it, and
your GAINESVILLE platform reaffirmed the
1896 platform"
Mr.. Bryan then discussed silver, the
trusts and Imperialism.

FINISH STATE HOUSE.

The executive council held a meeting
at the office of the secretary of state
and decided to begin the work of com
pIeting the state house some time in
November.
The contracts for the work will be let
early in November and the work will
begin as soon as possible thereafter.
The legislature last winter passed a
law requiring the work of completion
to begin on the top floor of the state
house. This will be done and the floor
next below, the fourth IN point of num-
Der in the building will also be included.
Before this time next year the work
remaining on this portion of the state
house will be completed.
The money for this work Whlch IS TO
be raised by a. tax levy of One-fourth
mill will begin coming into the state
treasury in December, at the December
payment of taxes, and the council Will
be ready to pay it out for work done
at that time. Mr.. Cole and Mr.. GODDARD
were appointed to make an investiga-
ton of the work done.
The council today let to Frank
BIanch a contract for carpenter work
on toilet rooms in connection with the
new library rooms for $2SS. The other
bids were as follows:
NJ. Heery- ................... ........ $430

bidders were:
NJ. Heery OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 81 $50
Prescott & OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. l. 100
John Sheahan Observation-Disclosures. 1,123
The council was so much surprised
at the bid of Frank BIanch that it was
believed a mistake had been made and
there was some talk of asking him con-
corning it. However, the council de-
cided that if he had made a mistake
he alone was responsible and the con-
tract was permitted to stand, and Mr..
Blanch was asked to furnish a proper
and sufficient bond.
