Ali Fuss and Feathers.

Last evening Col. William Jennings
Bryan and party left Lincoln, Neb., On
their spectacular tour across the .coun-
try to indianapolis. where the colone!
and his running mate will be notified
OF their nomination at Kansas City.
The pomp and circumstance. and tht
theatrical claptrap attending the occa-
sion Is In marked contrast to the dem.
ocratIc simplicity and dignity that clus-
tered around the simple functions that
characterized the notification of the
Republican nominees at their homes.
Such simplicity would not satisfy the
dictator OF Lincoln. VINO lives In the
sound and fury of his own voice ara
whose vanity is tlckled by the adula-
ton OF those over whose minds fc
holds peculiar sway.
The object OF turning the notification
OF Colonel Bryan Into spectacle Is
quite plain. The colonel has prepared
himsclf fully. go that he will leave the
best impression possible upon the
crowds that are expected at the me-
tropolIs OF Indiana. tomorrow. He Is
letter perfect in his speech. having
committed 1t to memory. so that he can
employ all the arts OF oratory and bring
all the tricks OF rhetoric into play. TIL.
Idea OF the Democratic managers-nt
the suggestion OF Col. Bryan. OF course.
In selecting Indianapolis for this the
atrical episode. Is to make an curly I'M
preston upon the people Of the middle
western states. especially Indiana ami
Illinois. which they affect to believe are
doubtful 1t may be that for the time
being the hearers OF Col. Bryan Will be
charmed by his eloquence. but there
wifi comn the sober second thought that
moves the judgment OF men at the
critical moment. When that hour ar
rives. Col. Bryan's sophistry will have
been forgotten, and reason VII rule In
stead OF rhapsody.

QUEER CAMPAIGN

Being Carried on in South Carolina.
g. Walton Whitman a Peculiar
character-Captain jennings $40"
Children.
COLUMBIA. S. c.. Aug. 6.-For four
consecutive campaigns G.Walton Whit
man has been a candidate for the DEM
ofcratic nomination for governor IN this
state. Until ten years ago Whitman
was q preacher, but since then he. has
been studying politics. He is now
making the contest under circumstan-
ces that are peculiarly distressing to
others in the campaign. Four years
ago Whitman received about 2 900 votes
at the caucuses In 4 total OF $4,000. Two
years later his vote was 24O. This
year 1t will be even less. and yet. Mr..
Whitman is as absolutely confident OF
election as a man can we'll be. Some
time ago he called at the state house,
visited some OF the officers and an.
nounced In the most serious manner
that. expecting soon, to be associated
with the officers as their chief. he de-
sired to become better acquainted with
them.
1t was some time after the opening
of the campaign before Mr.. Whitman
could pay the entrance fee exacted by
the state executive committee and he
is now accompanying the party under
circumstances painful to the other
members. who know that he often
speaks when the pangs II hunger are
severe, and when he has not rested
for some time In bed. Recently
Whitman arrived at a station from
which the other candidates took car
riages to the place Of speaking. twelve
miles distant. He could not go in n
carriage. and with only glass OF milk
for breakfast he rode an old bicycle that
distance over sandy road. made his
speech and bumped back. He would
not accept the hospitality OF others and
was only persuaded to break his fast
that evening on watermelon. He Of
ten sleeps In chairs.
Mr. whitman Is perhaps the best
read man and by far the most versatile
speaker In the campaign. He Is 81
years old and has family Of grown
children. His chief aim Is to tear
down colleges and build up public
schools.
There are other features OF the CAM.
raign that are not so painful. Capt.
J.. A. Jennings. candidate for treasur-
er. stated In n speech that he had one
record no other candidate could touch
and 1t was his chief commentator
he had lived with the same wife for
forty years and they had forty chill
drcn. The crowd cheered and told
Jennings he would get their votes. DR..
Zimmerman. the incumbent. stated
that he had known Georgian who had
four wives and forty-two children. Mr..
Jennings later said that the 40 was 4
slip OF the tongue. he meant IA" chill
dren. Vt
One candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor declared that II elected he would
not hire '.niggers" at So q day to wash
out splttoons In the senate when wor-
thy white men would be glad OF the job:
his competitor got the crowd by retort-
ing that he would not let white man
do such work for him.
There IRE thirty candidates who
speak every day. and despite the time
limits, against which all protest. the
meetings last seven hours. Whisky Is
discussed about six hours day.
