determination to hold the Mckinley
administration to strict responsibility
for mal-administration and inefficiency,
with an enthusiastic devotion to Bryan

given; such is the forecast of the cam.
paign of 1900.
Among falsehoods industriously cirou.
lated by the Republican press, none are
more vicious than imputations against
Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri. He is
loyal to Bryan. as he is loyal to the
Chicago platform and to the issues
that have since arisen. Expressive of
the confidence in him he was made
vice chairman. the Office having been
created for that special purpose. Gov
ernor Stone is one of the ablest men of
country, and when the time comes for
calling Southern man, to lead
Democracy, the governors friends will
be heard from.

ed the spirit or action of the Chicago
meeting. To such extent are the re-
ports of the associated press misleading.
The same is true regarding Editor
Devlin of the Press Bureau. He was
neither deposed nor censured except by
implication for taking sides in the Alt
geld-Harrison troubles. and continues
to issue the National Bulletin. Upon
the return of Chairman Jones a press
committee will be appointed to have
charge of all such work. Plans for the
whole are now under considera-
ton by Hon. George H. SHIRLEY and
Willis J. Abbott. the able journalist,
until recently editor of the New York
Journal.
Never did Mr.. Bryan seem so great, in
the opportunity of comparing him with
other able national characters. What
is the secret of his power? The Ma
tional Waterman we'll answers that it
is his absolute honesty. He makes no
mistakes because he resorts to no SUBJ
terfuge of speech. It is the power of
truth eloquently spoken, by one who is
as pure of heart as he is able and ccur-
ageous, that brings the hearts of mil
lions in rapport with Bryan.
"Well," said our great leader. in part
ing with several of US, you go back to
your fighting, and I'll go on with my
preaching"
The epigrams contained in Mr.. Bry-
ans Auditorium speech challenge COM
parison with anything the times have
produced in political polemics. Thus
condensed was given the arraignment
of the trust and description of its evils,
the suggestion Of direct and certain
remedy, the impeachment of the party
under whose legislation and administra-
ton the trust has risen. and the demon
stration that the people can hope for no
relief from the party in power, because
its success in retaining power is to be
attained by money furnished by the
trusts and specially protected interests.

One of the personal pleasures of the
Chicago gathering was meeting with
Sir Moreton Frewen, the great English
bimetallist. Mr.. Frewen's personality
is as delightful as his battle has been
able and brave for the cause of bimet-
alllsm. Mr.. Frewen said that he had
been in company with Hon. C. A.
Towne for some time before leaving
England; that Mr.. Towne is now in
Brussels, and may be expected home
early in September.
