publican said of the work Of the greatest
Democrat"
The audience listened attentively as Mr..
Bryan read from a volume of Lincoln's
speeches. When the speaker said that
both Lincoln and Jefferson were repudi-
ated when the DecIaSation Of Independence
was departed from, he was greeted with
great applause.
Rights of the People.
II sometimes hear people complain be-
cause business is disturbed by the agita-
tlOn Of public questions. There Is way to
escape it. Let us break it: let MS have
monarchy and then there will be no dis
turbance OF any kind of business. We can
simply serve and be happy. But history
has shown that where one o. few think
for all the people, and act for all the peo-
pie, they also enjoy for all the people, and
IL we would enjoy the right TO life and
liberty and the pursuit OF happiness, our
life must be constant warfare against
wrong.
"If you elect public servant and go
to sleep. the danger is that he may become
more watchful of his own interests than
OF yours, and when ] hear people COM
pain that our government is failure,
generally find them proposing the wrong
remedy
"Trey say our government Is a failure
because the people cannot be trusted. !
reply that In ESQ far as our government
has been disappointing, 1t Is because the
people have not had sufficient share in
their own government (applause); that the
faults of our government are not in the
people, but in those who misrepresent the
virtue, the intelligence and the wishes OF
the people" (Applause)
A Mighty Demonstration.
When Mr. Bryan closed there was
mighty demonstration. Men and women
made frantic efforts to shake him by the
hand, and II required the services Of sew
erai policemen to rescue the speaker and
escort him to one of the reception rooms.
He remained until the crowd had largely
dispersed, and then was driven to the Ho-
tel Bartholdi. eAs he emerged into the
street and got into his carriage he was
greeted again by cheers, several hundred
people waiting to get a farewell glimpse
of him.

Iadysmith is described as being in good
spirits and confident and the troops are
said to be full Of fight. The artillery
duel was still in progress Tuesday night.

He had been badly bruised. He says
the storm struck him with full force
Monday before daylight. The fury of

his vessel to spring leak. Heavy seas

Butler Cues to the Front.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The breakdown of
the Delagoa cable route, combined with
the monopolization of the available tele-
graph lines by the government and Brit
ish staff officers, is response BILE for the
fact that nothing further has arrived
from South Africa The government
has received dispatches rectifying the
casualty lists.
Nothing has been received concerning
Mondays casualties. The war Office
officials are working under great strain.
Captain Merriot, staff captain to the
military secretary, has just died, his
end being fastened by anxiety and over
work. An unconfrmed statement has
been published that General Butler has
left Cape Town for Ladysmith. A be-
lated dispatch from Ladysmith, de-
scribing Mondays fight, says: "a
couple Of squadrons of Hussars had q
narrow escape from disaster early in the
day. They found themselves suddenly
confronted, within easy range, by an
overwhelming force of Beers, who
seemed to spring from the bowels of the
earth. The Hussars were splendidly
handled and were extricated with only
one man wounded
The queen is credited with expressing
sincere pity for Sir George Stewart
White, and the officials are in nowise
inclined to criticise him harshly. So
far as the public is concerned, while
qualification is felt at the manner in
which the isolated battalions surren-
dered, there is still severe criticism of
General White and Lieutenant Colonel
Carleton for allowing the column to get
out of touch by the absence Of proper
scouting and for not retiring when the
ammunition was lost. In favor of Lieu
tenant Colonel Carleton, the explana-
ton is hazarded that he believed it was
imperative to the success of General
Whites operations that he should hold
the position at Nicholson's Mex.

BLAMED IT ON ADEAD NAN.
Late +. j. Burdette Charged With
Changing RecOrds-His Friends are
Very Indignant at the Charge.

GRAFTON, w. Va, April 1S.-At
the last State election the charge was
made that the ballots had been tam
pered with and that the result of the
election changed by alteration of bal
lots, after they had been placed in
the hands of F. J. Burdette, the Re-
publican Clerk of the County Court.
The charge was that Burdette had
made these changes in the interest of
McGraw, the Democratic candidate
for Senator, Democratic legislator
obtaining his seat on the changes
made. The Legislature and County
Court investigated, but found no
fault.
Yesterday evening the grand jury
returned an Indictment charging that
f. j. Burdette, the County Clerk, had
altered the ballots This finding was
on the evidence of E. B. Hay, of
Washington, handwriting expert.
Burdette died since the election and
the Indictment is of no effect except
TO relieve living suspects of the odium
which rumor has attached to them.
Professor Hay was positive in his
evidence to the writing Of Burdette
in the county record books.
The return has caused a great sem
saton and has stirred much bitter
feeling among Burdette's friends.

Captain Racket was the play which
caused so much mirth and showed tc
advantage the members Of this well
trained company: Mr.. Harry Chaplin
in the title role played all there was
in his part and some between the
lines. He is a capable actor, but there
are other parts In the play even better
than Capt. Racket, notably Tim Toll
man who married for money and is
sorry for 1t. Mr.. Nat Leffingwell
provoked increasing laughter by his
clever portrayed of the role. Miss
Virginia Goodwin played successfully
a part that is plainly too tame fo'
her. She looked pretty and acted ad,
