Bryan Claims -Four Big States.

Chicago, Oct. 22.--"The outlook
in Kentucky and Ohio is very en-
couraging for the Democratic
party" said William Jennings
Bryan to-day. The Nebraskan
reached Chicago early in the after
noon and spent several hours in
the Sherman House, leaving for
the West over the Burlington route
at 6 o'clock in the morning. He
will make u speech in Harlan,
Iowa, tomorrow morning, and be-
gin his campaign in his own State
on Tuesday. He said further:
"The campaign, as far as | am
able to Judge, has been vigorous
one, and Democratic success can
be predicted in both Ohio and
Kentucky. / should feel disap-
pointed if we lost either one of
them. The same bright prospect
is to be seen in Iowa and Nebraska,
and wouldn't be surprised if all
four States were carried by our
party.
"The question of militarism and
imperialism is large factor in the
campaign this year. Everywhere
reference to American principles Of
liberty and adherence to the lines
upon which this Republic has been
built and maintained are received
by the people with every manifes-
tation Of approval.
"There is a noticeable DISPOSE
tion on the part Of the German
voters to fight the Republican party
because of their opposition to the
ideas and purposes expressed to-
ward the Philippine Islands. In
fact, the foreign vote is largely
against anything which will set up
q militarism in this Republic and
which will drag US into the colonial
policy Of the Old World. These
foreigners cling tenaciously to
American ideas. In the country dis
tricts find the current Of the feeling
running largely against the Repub-
lican prrty because of it's policy of
Imperialism.

Kosciusko, Miss, Oct. 60
Within radius of ten miles of
the neighborhood of the Gamble
murder regin of terror exists
among the negroes who feel their
lives are at the mercy OF mob who
at any time may direct its fury
upon their humble and defenseless
homes. The better class of citizens
who dominated the early investiga-
tions in the horrible holocaust feel
that they have exhausted their en-
tire resources, and the lawless ele-
ment have taken charge Of affairs,
and their action is calculated to do
untold injury to the material in
terests Of the country.

accredited representative of Aguln-
aldo and will present to Prcst Me
kinloy new terms for ending hos
tiIitios and rcconstructing the GOV

These are tho exact terms Aguin-
aldo desires:
81. Absolute free trade between
the United States and the Philip
pine Islands, carrying with it tho
fullest commercial favor between
the two countries.
"2. Perfect religious freedom,
rs now exists under the govern
ment of Aguinaldo. the same being
a concession by him to the wishes
of the Uulted States.
"3. Coaling stations for the
United States on all important
islands of the archipelago to be
selected by the United States and
ceded outright forever by Filipinos.
This will include Manila
81. Military reservations at
Manila, Iloilo, Panay, Mindora,
Negros, Masbate, Samar, Mindonca
and such other islands rs may be

ments.

ment, to be selected by the United

which was notable alone for it's in
discreet attack upon the United
States. Senior Regidor will repre-
sent Aguinaido himself. Senior
Regidor is said to be n man of great

a long experience in European
diplomatic circles.

Bryan's Goodness and Wit.

The only instance of discourteous
treatment which Mr.. William j
Bryan has received since he took
the stump for Mclean in Ohio
occurred the other day at Findlay
On that occasion his audience con
tained n large contingent of Repub.
Leans of the rougher class who
made their presence known by Wig
orous kissing. Mr.. Bryan was
amazed by their disgrnceful con
duct but not disconnected, and
holding his ground with perfect
good temper he employed his ready
wit and scathing scarcasm to excel
lent advantage. While the Repub-
lican hoodlums were kissing, Mr..
Bryan quoted some sentences from
Lincoln's speeches and invited the
Republicans to hiss them. but the
roughs remained silent although
the quotations were in line with
Democratic doctrine. When the
police attempted to eject one of the
disturbers from the meeting Mr..
Bryan said: "Let him remain
| can certainly stand this kind of
thing for a short half hour if you
have to live in tho community all
your lives
At Bellfontaine Mr.. Bryan re-
ferred to Republican cartoon,
conspicuously displayed at the
meeting, which showed Columbia
holding the flag with President
Mckinley pointing to it and the
word "Victory" inscribed on the
clouds above the national ensign.
This cartoon was intended to il
lustrate the determination of the
President to conquer the Philip
pines and "benevolently assimi-
late" the natives. Beneath it were
the words "we'll rally round the
flag boys, we'll rally once again.
taken from one of the songs of the
civil war.
Bryan read the line to the crowd
and then said: "But there is a
significant omission. They did
not put in "Shouting the battle
cry of freedom" The cheers
which followed were so wildly en-
thusiastic that the speaker had to
wait for the tumult to subside.
The Democratic leader is a man
who on the stump keeps cool
head on his shoulders and is as
quick as lightning in his repartee
when his speeches are interrupted
by questions. The Republicans
will discover before he completes
his speaking tour in Ohio that it is
we'll to let Mr.. Bryan alone. He
has demonstrated quite often that
his wit and sarcasm are equal to
every occasion and it is utterly
impossible for rowdies and would
be "smart Alecks" to make him
lose his temper.
