COL. BRYAN AT BLAIR, EEB.
He Addressed Fourteen Thousand Per
sOns-Awakening Much New
Enthusiasm.

BLAIR, Neb., Sept. 2o.--For dis-
tance of 125 miles in northeastern
Nebraska thousands of people to-day
turned out to greet Col. w. ]. Bryan
in bis tour OF this section Of the state.
Tonight at Blair 14,0oo people heard
Mr.. Bryan. There was every evidence
of enthusiasm.
In the course OF his remarks Mr..
Bryan said, ss to silver:
81 remember tnat In my boyhood
days, when attended debating soci-
cites, we used to discuss the question:
Resolved, That there is more pleas
ure in anticipation than In possession.
SIT provokes me now to think we
got the gold standard without passing
through a period OF pleasant antioi-
patton OF 1t. 1t just came on us like
thief in the night. Then, we had il
for twenty-tnree years before any
party dared defend it.
SIS not that stranger Tell me the
gold standard is blessingI ask you
why did that blessing so mysteriously
conceal its benefits that no party
found 1t out?
"You tell me that the victory Of
1896 was a victory for the gold stan
dard9 Ipoint cut the fact that three
parties united in denouncing the gold
standard as un-American and antI.
American. Three parties united in
the pledge that the gold standard
should be driven out OF the United
States and back to England, whence
1t came. And six millions and a half
Of voters marched under the banner
Of Independent bImetallism and not
one Of them was intimidated."

iiecting upon Col. Batdorf ss an OIL

TIE PRIMARY PLAN.
Governor Stephens Declares His 0ppO-
sition to It. Cook and Clark
Favor 1t.

Governor Stephens lie opposed to
the primary plan of nominating State
candidates, suggested for adoption by
the Missouri Democracy for the COM
ing campaign. He thinks its adop-
ton would be suicidal to the party.
81 have no personal interest in the
coming campaign" he.said, "but 1 am
3 Democrat, and I'm interested in the
success of the party, and l don't
want it to commit this folly.
ga primary, l believe, would be
Illegal. Our statutes do not recog-
nize it. All our laws speak of conven-
tious as the method of nominating
candidates. A primary would be
enormously expensive. There will be
no way of putting forth State plat
form, If the primary plan is adopted.
l don't understand how we could cer-
tify nominations IL we held primary
instead Of a convention"
The primary plan is causing a tre-
mendous stir among Missouri Demo-
Gratis.
State Chairman Sam B. Cook Is the
leading advocate of the plan and be is
worrying the few who oppose it. The
plan doesn't suit the majority of the
politicians and the railroad attorneys
who dabble in politics, because its op-
Grafton would rob them of most Of
their power to dictate nominations
and arrange deals In conventions. MIR.
Cook denies that the primary plan is
any more expensive than the present
method Of holding conventions. II is
understood that more than half the
members Of the State Committee are
personally in favor Of the primary
plan, but several OF them are not ad-
vocating 1t publicly because they are
friends of Mr.. Dockery. who has not
yet announced his opinion and they
are holding back on bis account.
P. Williams, candidate for State
Treasurer, is willing to submit his
claims 10 the people and let them de-
eide by q primary whom they wish to
nominate.
Congressman Champ Clark is max
ing bold and vigorous figbt for the
primary plan.

HAWAIIAN CABLE.
(EXaminer.)

Senator Morgan is quite right in ad-
vocatfng the immediate laying OF n
cable from the United States to Ha-
waii, and in declaring that IL should be
established and controlled by this Gov
eminent. \ cable ought TO have been
laid years ago for purely commercial
reasons, and would have been had san
Francisco stood up in her seat and
spoken in emphatic tones. We slept
on our rights, however, As We usually
do for that matter. nd OF course We
were ignored. Now, however. a new
element has entered the case. for with
Hawaii an American possession there
are unanswerable political reasons why
this great work should be no longer de-
serred.
Since the cable must be laid. the
sooner the job is done the better FOR
Hawaii and the mainland, and. not be-
| ing in urgent need OF financial assist
ance. we may as we'll make the cable
Government property, and see what
sort of service the nation can give the
nation when the wires are ready foi
