There is little more Of noteworthy in

while he lived in Cracow with his
mother, but his proximity to the Rus
sian border made his friends and fami-
ly advise that he either enter the Aus

country. With $500 in gold he bade
a last farewell to European shores and
sailed for the United States in 1870.
He was then but twenty-three years
old. In Minneapolis young Grygla
went into business as a contractor. In
1888 he was appointed Assistant Su-
perintendent of Public Buildings un-
der the Harrison Administration After
leaving the Government service he
travelled extensively throughout Cen

FREE SILVER THE ISSUE.

Behind Bryan there would be the Demo
cratic party which had always been on
the wrong side of everything: divided
against itself with those west of the
Mississippi clamoring for free silver and
those east OF the Mississippi shouting an
ti-imperialism and as antagonistic 10 free
silver as can h2ts the party in which are
assembled all the crankiness and isms
that can be imagined would be behind
him.
Mr.. Littlefield asked who would Bryan
have as the strongest Democrats to form
his cabinet
Quick and strong from a man in the
audience came the reply, Croker"
Mr.. Littlefield said: Exactly. the man
at the head of the most unscrupulous or
ganzation i'm the country"

doned the Chicago anarchists, would be
another of the nearest. Such men would
tear Bryan TO pieces i'm short order, as
such men did Cleveland, who was a much
stronger man than Bryan.
The issues OF the campaign he ex-
pounded with a fiuency that made IL seem
as If there could be no mistake I'm the
argument that election OF Bryan means
disastrous disturbance OF the gold stand
ard. He quoted Bryan as stating that If
any man does not believe I'm free silver
that man ought not TO vote for him
Bryan positively declared ne would de-
cline to be a candidate unless the free
silver plank was i'm the Kansas City plat
form, as IL had been i'm the Chicago plat
