they proceeded to take up the straw

Especial Correspondence,

Especial Cores ondence.)
Washington, July 1.-THE small
contingent of Eastern democratic poll
ticians who have been indulging in day
dreams of defeating the nomination of
William J. Bryan and of securing sur
cease of silver in the democratic plat
form next year have had a very bad
fortnight. Governor Hogg of Texas did
the business with his Tammany speech,
which not only expressed the senti-
ments of the national democracy but
betrayed the fact that the great New
York organization is itself honey
combed with Bryan and Chicago plat
form enthusiasm. 1t was the more i'm
pressive in view of the certainty that
the Tammany celebration was carefully
planned to be a presentation of Judge
Augustus Van Wyck as a candidate for
president.
But there are other things which
have aided to confound. the anti-Bryan
cabal. Among them is the Kentucky
situation, where a Bryan and a free
coinage candidate is running for gov
ernor on platform which is an out
spoken reiteration of the Chicago decla-
ration. The permanent passing of the
gold democracy is plainly indicated by
the attitude of Henry WatterSon'S Cour-
ier-Journal, which is strongly support
Ing lIlt lIChel.. w COIIcS-
pondent of the Courier Journal tells me
that there is not a shadow of doubt
that Kentucky will go democratic by
&c, 900 this year.
But far more important than the sit
uation in Kentucky is the an
nouncement formally made here
that John K. Mclean is a
candidate for the Democratic NOM
nation for governor of Ohio. He
is looked upon as a sure winner, and
here again silver comes to the front
with strong champion. In the silver
movement he was a pioneer. and was
from the first practically the leader of
that cause in Ohio, Indiana and Ken
lucky, through the fundamentally of
his paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer. In
1896 he strongly advocated a single
plank relating to silver as the Ohio
democratic platform in order to concen-
trate the fight upon that issue. He was
also instrumental in having the unit
rule adopted for the delegation to the
Chicago convention. believing that by
this course the power of the Ohio dele
cation would be made more effective
and himself head the delegation.

HEROIC DUTCH BOYS.
Defended Their City Successfully
Against Famous Soldiers.


obstinate and brave as a Dutch
man" were familiar terms in France
seventv-five years ago, when a handful
of doggedly determined and fearless
boy Hollanders gave one more PROOF OF
what Dutch courage really means.
1t was in September, 1871, that BEL
GUM. which for sixteen years had been
under the rule of a Dutch king, rose IN
revolt and demanded the aid of the
other European powers in establishing
her INDEPENDENCE and setting up a
king of her own
AS NAV be we'll imagined, the Dutch
took these proceedings very much 10
heart but a very excellent army was
organized and the French government
sent Marshal Gerard and General st.
AYR with 4. 600 picked soldiers of the
Grand army. to see that the Dutch
were turned out of Belgium, bag and
baggage.
Marshal Gerard at once called upon
the garrison in the citadel of Antwerp
TO surrender This was on Nov. %, and
imagine the surprise of both French
and Belgians when General Chasse,
the Dutch commander of this fortress,
invited his enemies to come and take
it.
Marshal Gerard warned General
Chase that he would besiege and bonn
bard the citadel. "Besiege away" was
the gallant Dutchman's reply, though
he had only $500 men under him, while
outside the walls his enemies numbered
$4,000.
on the same 29th of November, the
French opened fire on the Dutch, but
if the French made breaches in the
wall by day, the Dutch labored and re-
paired them by night, and from their
lofty outlook they could see and knock
over every gabion or approach the
French made. With superior arms and
men, the French fairly ragged to see
themselves baffied and checked at every
turn, and to hear all Europe laughing
at their situation.
Their humiliation was complete, how
ever, when finally. on blowing up a
lunette, they took fifty-eight heroic
Dutchmen prisoners, and found them,
instead of tough veterans, the merest
boys-so young were forty of them that
they had never had razors at their
chins, and their beardless faces, wan
from toll and privation, gave them
quite the appearance of band of sick
children.
At last, after nineteen days desper-
ate fighting, after 10000 shot and shell
had been thrown into the citadel, Cen
eral Chase capitulated, and the
French, very quietly and rather
shamefacedly, entered the stronghold.
Within it was literally torn to pieces,
and drawn up before their conquerors
was this wonderful little company of
Dutchmen. Three-fourths of the entire
force had not reached the age of %
years, a few had been two years in
service, and a sorry figure in their own
eyes and the estimation of everybody
else did the magnificent French army
cut. Fond as they are of recounting
their warlike deeds, French historians
have little or nothing to say regarding
their conquest of Antwerp. They real
ize that the glory rests all with the
warrior boys who were conquered and
who never would have surrendered un-
less their general had found he could
no longer bear the sight of the suffer-
ings of these young heroes.

troll of the Ohio state delegation =
The fact that there is not sufficient
evidence of McLean's hostility TO Bryan
and the Chicago platform renders the
situation very embarrassing to the
Bryan people. They are not warranted
IN declaring war on him, and yet they
are afraid to trust to him the control
of the state organization
All this is more amusing than inter-
esting. 1t is we'll known that Mr.. Nc
Lean and his friends are already in full
control of the democratic organization
| in Ohio and have been since 1896 when
he was made Ohio member of the DEM
| ocratic national committee. There is
/ little or no doubt that the very conven-
ton that dominates Mclean for COVER
nor will declare for Bryan in 1900.
Distrust of Southern States.
| The same correspondents are endeav-
oring to show that there is a strong
probability that some of the southern
| states will be carried by the diaphan-
GUS Croker-Gorman-M Mclean combina-
ton. 1t is not possible to find a single
southern democratic congressman now
in the city who will admit that there is
the slightest doubt of the delegations
from their states being solid for Bryan
and the old platform.
Representative Henry d. Clayton of
Georgia, who was chairman of the Gre
! dentials committee at Chicago, says his
state will elect solid delegation for
Bryan, instructed and under the unit
rule. John S. Rhea of Kentucky makes
the same declaration; and three con-
gresham from Georgia who are now
here say that state can surely be count
ed for for the old candidate and the old
principles. Young Representative Sid
ney Epes of Virginia says his state will
be solid for the same things. There
are no tangible evidences that any
southern state is likely to alter its posi-
ton.
Pretense of Loyalty.
In this connection it is worthy of note
that the republican international" BIZ
metallists are getting ready to put forth
another pretense of loyalty to silver.
The first sign comes from senator W.
E. Chandler of New Hampshire, who is
out in characteristic interview decla-
ratory of his hostility to the gold stand
ard, and a prediction of dire disaster to
his party if it abandons it's "bimetallic'
platform of 1896. This is undoubtedly
the cue for the Wolcott, Carter and
Shoup combination.
Silver republicans must stand to-

dence that the situation in Ohio is re-
garded as very hopeful for democracy.
He has always been uncommonly strong

1897 as a candidate for United States
senator. He is a man of fine executive
ability and a splendid organizer and

Gratis regard the republican fractional
fight which preceded the Columbus con-
vention.and has not yet been entirely
dlsslpated, as opening the way to DEM
ocratlc success, and have placed the
date of their convention at a late date
IN order to take advantage of the re-
publican situation. Mr.. Mclean spends
most of his time in this city, and is very
popular with the local democracy of the
capital city, which is intensely pre- Chi
cago platform. He received the votes
of the delegates from this district for
president at Chicago in 1896.
Sufficient evidence that the report that
Mr.. Mclean is contemplating being a
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton is afforded by the fact that every
aSpirant for delegate from this district
next year is for Bryan. 1t is significant
that the very day McLean's candidacy
for governor was announced Edwin A
Newman announces himself a candidate
for delegate from the district in a card
the District of Columbia to the demo-
cratic national convention next year.
If 1 am sent as a delegate 1 will do my
utmost to secure the readoption of the
platform of 1896 with additional planks
condemning Imperialism, militarism
and those despotisms known in industry
as trusts; also that l will put forth my
utmost endeavors to secure the renomi
nation of our gallant leader, William j.
Bryan"
Talk of a Combination.
The eastern correspondents, having
nothing else to write about, are indulg-
ing in a great deal of speculation to the
effect that candidate Mclean is in
combination" with Croker, German, ct
al. to defeat Bryan's nomination.
For some time" says one of the
newspaper men who claims to have dis
covered this alliance Mclean has
been looked on as a party to the Cor
man Croker plans for Bryan's undoing
or likely to become so. 1t has been
thought by some that If Mclean should
run for governor it would be an evil
dence of his determination to further
the German interests, the belief being
that he could have no other motive in
running for governor than to get con-
