Bryan's New York Speech

MIR. Bryan spoke, in the first
place, from the inspiration of
his audience. not from a manu-
script, as tour years ago in the
garden, and thus added to his
argument the spell of his cap
tivating oratory. And he dealt
almost exclusively with the two
dominating issues upon which
he was sure of the sympathy of
his hcarers-monopoly and i'm
perialism. Mr.. Bryan started
with a challenge to the bust
ness interests of New York.
II am glad" he said. Ito de,

ter of population. industry and
of wealth. We are not opposed, V
he declared, Ito tina! wealth

upon Mark Hanna's fav0ritr

in this witty epigram:

Champ Clark Defines Trust.

In his speech at Chicago,
Hanna said he would like for
Bryan or any other Democrat
to tell what Trust is. Champ
Clark, il: speech at lakewood,
tells him in the following de-
tnition: "A Trust is a criminal
conspiracy for the sole purpose
OF robbing people, and the own
ers and managers and operators
of Trust ought to be treated
in the same manner in which
other robbers are treated. l

vanished definition will satisfy

Indianapolis. July eo.-At the annual re-

when the Nominating Committee recon-
mended that former President Harrison be-
elected president of the association. 1t was
stated that he had not attended a reunion
OF the regiment for years, and for that rea-
son seemed to have lost interest in its at
fairs.
The matter was freely discussed by the
members. and a vote was taken. which re-
suited in General Harrison's election Those
opposing him favored Colonel Samuel Mer-
rill OF California. who was present. and de-
clined the honor in favor of General Har-
rison.
