GENERAL POLITICAL
NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Mr. Hrynn'S Hundicap.-'If Nr.
Bryan said a prominent Democrat yes
terday, has really got serious designs on
the White House ! would advise him to
try and obtain a position of some kind
that will give him the appearance at least
of having a visible means of support Let
him pretend TO practice law. go back to
newspaper reporting or do something that
VIII pass as an occupation. Al present
he apparently has no ether business than
fiinging around gratuitouS advice to the
Democratic party, No one, | believe. is
paying him a salary for his services. This
is a wOrkaday age in which we are living.
Gentlemen of leisure are not popular with
the masses. They can hardly expect TO
be. MIR. Bryan would find himself in an
infinitely stronger position before the peo-
pie of the country if he would buckle
down to work at some respectable calling.
If nothing else offers. he might apply him
self to raising chickens-that would be
better than nothing. In his spare mo-
ments he could continue to address his
followers on what he thinks the future
policy of the Democratic party should be
If he keeps on as at present he will be in
serious danger of inspiring the average
American citizen with that tired feeling
which is always fatal to ambitious states
