Bryan Puts Is to First.

Louisville, June 2.-fhe for. nal visit of William Jennings Bryan to Louisville under the auspices of the Ohio alley Bi metallic league was reserved for to day, though he attended Wednesday, nights banquet to Judge Tarvin Mr. Bryan spoke to large audience this afternoon He said: The Dem ocratic party adopted at Chica go platform which applied Democratic principles to the conditions then existing. The conditions existing to day re qnire the applications of the same principles No oquestions brought to the attention of the people by the last campaign have been settled since tue close of the campaign.
 The Republican party did not declare the existing gold standard satisfactory, but de cIared that It should be contin. Eued unlil foreign nations would join in international bimetal- lism. The Republican party in the next campaign must de clare either for the gold stand ard or for the restoration of bi metallism. If 1t declares for the gold standard it must de fend the principle of gold mono metalism, which It refused 10 defend in 1896. If It declares for bimetallism it must either favor independent bimetallism as the Democratic party did i'll the campaign of 1896, or it must make another attempt to delude the people by the prom ise of foreign ald.
 "The Ohio Valley 3imetalliC league, which is holding it's third annual convention in this city at this time, has adopted resolutions declaring that the contest for independent bl metallism at the ratio of 16 to l must be continued. 1 am il hearty sympathy with this de termination.
 The demand for the restora ton of bimetallism does no mean that there are no other issues before the people, but i means that this issue canno be laid aside or surrendered until the financial policy of th' American people is determined by the American people them selves, without waiting for th, aid or consent of any othe : nations

 "Ordinarily, 1 do not believe II right to ailljct the people with ones political desires so far in advance of the time for them to act in the matter, but since Senator Berry has an. nouneed his candidacy, the knowledge of which has reached me from various sources, and since my friends wish to be ill. formed of my intentions, will frankly say that am q candI date for the United States Sen ate, subject to the decision of the Democratic party of the state, to be rendered i'll d pfi. mary election

 "At the proper time 1 will make them fully known, 50 that the people shall be we'll advised of my views before the passing upon them or me. will say now, however, that in my judgement the dominant and overshadowing issne will be the trusts. l have not abat ed one particle of my convic. tions CT views upon the free coinage of silver, but We cannot expect to succeed in that great measure until we have destroy ed the dragon which uphold $ and sustains the single gold standard, aud that, beyond question, is the combination of wealth and greed commonly known as the trusts. They are the enemies of mankind. By de stroying competition they sup. press energy, destroy ihdividu ality, make more mechanics of men and finally subvert govern. ment and bring on anarchy. They must be put down and the Democratic party alone can be looked to too accom- pllsh that end.

INVALID KANSAS STATUTES.


Fort Scott, Kan. Dee. 81. Attorney
C. E. Cory. United States referee in
bankruptcy in this district, yesterday
filed a suit in this city which is based
on the claim that the purported laws
on IS pages Of the Kansas statutes of
1895 were never voted upon or passed
by the Kansas legislature. The laws
in question all relate to the fees and
salaries OF county officers of 81 coun-
ties, viz Bourbon, Clark, Clay,
Crawford, Dickinson, Douglas, Fin
ney, Green wood, Haskell, Montgomery,
Marshall, Mitchell Miami, Morris,
Mcpherson, Neosho, Usage, Reno,
Scott, Smith and Sumner and to the
town of Marion. Mr. Cory asserts
that the fact that the supposed laws
were not voted upon by the legsla-
ture is so apparent from the legsla-
tive record that there can be no doubt
as to their invalidity. If this is true
10 of the counties will be liable to its
county offices for period of two years
for the amount of reduction in their
affected by the laws.
