Tho Measure of the Hon. John r.
McLean's Love for Bryan.

The astute person who runs the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, and is said likewise to be
running for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Ohio, has written a certificate
Of his dsnterested affection for Mr.. BRYAN.
He has put the certificate into the hands Of
personal friend and asked him to show It
to everybody.
Il cannot imagine how any man can think
am against BRYAN" writes Mr.. MCLEAN,
latter the public declarations Of my paper.
feel that 1 have the friendship Of Mr..
BRYAN and that he has mine"
We have already assisted the Hon. JOHN
r. MCLEAN IN his public declaration OF love
by copying the remarks he made the other
day welcoming Mr. BRYAN to Ohio. This
was at time when common report was
classins Mr.. MCLEAN with Mr.. GoRMAN
and the other subterranean statesmen who
are now working like moles to undermine
the Bryan campaign for the denomination.
The Cincinnati Enquirer then said:
ITO feel assured of tho more than kind ly feeling
the mind Of a man who has labored so industriously
brilliantly and unselAshly in their cause"
Pleasant words, but not very conclusivel
Then the Enquirer went on to say:
Tonight Mr.. BRYAN will be surrounded by
friends who will vie with each other in supporting
him for another Presidential nomination, and then
for eleCting him in 1909. The only rivalry among
them will be in their zeal to advance his interests as
party leader"
safe statement; but we do not observe
that the Enquirer promised definitely that
the Hon. JOHN r. MCLEAN will be in the
thick of the struggle to advance BRYAN's
interests. But it continued:
THE Democrats Of Ohio extend q welcome to
WILLIAM J. Bryan. In coming here lie will find him
self among men WHO look upon him as leader
Certainly there are such in Ohio but the
Enquirer did not assert distinctly that the
Hon. JOHN II. MCLEAN was among them.
Is not all this much like saying to
beautiful. blushing and expectant damsel,
"You have the esteem Of many friends,
several OF whom would no doubt like to
marry you. am firmly convinced that In
the opinion Of those who admire you,
you would make very desirable bride and
wife for somebody?
Not exactly what you would call pas
siOnatc expression of direct personal senti-
ment! We advise the Hon. JOHN r. Nc
LEAN to put little more fire into his
wooing, il he really desires to convince
the public that he is madly enamoured.

improved that it would he safe for him to
be locked in the jury room.
A telephone message from Townsend at
o'clock tonight was to the effect that
no verdict had been reached.
Inc trial of Oldham and Emmett has
proved to be about the biggest jury case
ever tried in the new county of Broad
water. They were charged with numbering
Napoleon Laponte, a saloon keeper, at the
East Pacific mine, near Winston, June /.
The accused. together with the dead man
ana others, had been drinking very freely
ana had several rows. Laponte's dead
oody was found propDed against a tree
stump at the rear of the saloon. The floor
and side walls of the saloon We're red
with blood and a bloody pick handle lay
near showing there had been a fight TO
the death. There was a deep wound on
Laponte's head. The next day Oldham and
Emmett We're arrested and held for trial
for murder. Their trial commenced three
days ago, as stated. There were about 50
witnesses. Attorney Baldwin conducted
the prosecution while J. NJ. Clements and
ex-County Attorney Purcell of Helena
conducted the defense
The theory of the defense was that La
ponte came to his death from alcoholism,
combined with a wound received in a fight
just prior to the time either of the ac-
cused was around the place. An effort
was also made to establish an alibi. EN-
NETT was interested in rival saloon and
the state tried to show that the fight was
the result of jealousy.
The trial was followed by large num-
her of spectators. During the trial At
torney Purcell and the county attorney
got into a wrangle that endeu in Bald
wins calling the defendants attorney a
liar. for which Judge Armstrong promptly
fined him So
The Standard reporters informant at
Townsend says tonight that the senti-
ment of the community Is divided as to
Emmett's and Oldhams guilt, and that a
verdict of acquittal would not be sur
prising. The state, however, relies upon
the circumstance that the jury is COM
posed of farmers, who. it is believed, are
more disposed to return a verdict of
guilty.

Golf countered well on his opponents
body. In the ninth Con- was saved by the

than five minutes
