MR.. BRYaN's pILEM MA.

The Conservative, OF Nebraska
City, Neb., of which Sterling
Morton is editor. has discovered
and published letter written by
William J. Bryan, when he was a
member OF congress, which ought
to have an important influence
upon the campaign.
1t appears that at the time the
letter was written MIR. Bryan cared
more to be member OF the United
States senate than a member of
the democratic party, as he seri-
ously considered turning a popu-
list in order to insure his election.
Mr.. Bryan was questioned in New
York concerning the truth of the
letter, and simply replied, al do
not care to discuss this matter 1t
is not part OF this campaign" :"
Mr.. Bryan's letter, which he does
not deny the authorship OF, places
him in very bad light, and is as
follows:
~ believe that the easiest way
to become United States senator
would be TO announce myself as a
populist, and be nominated BY
them, for | believe we could elect
populist legislature in that way
without doubt. To do that, how
ever. would prevent my doing
certain work which regard as very
important. As an avowed popu-
list would be criticised for going
into the democratic districts and
urging populists TO support free
silver democrats, and ! would be
expected to act in harmony with
the populists leaders in lines of
policy, for they would resent such
independence as | would think
necessary and dissension might
injure the party more than l could
help it.
at is barely possible that the
legislature will be so divided that
may be elected senator. While
this would be acceptable and would
enable me to carry on the fight on
national questions, it is matter
about which | do not worry, be-
cause am satisfied that | can
make more outside of congress
than l can make here, and would
be with my family more and have
to work less.
mot for publication"
Such sentiments emanating from
a man whose political motives are
alleged to be Of the purest and
who claims to be devoted singly
and alone to principle ought to
make some Of his admirers rather
doubtful.

Pleasant Social Gathering.

One of the most enjoyable
events in w. c. T. u. circles. was
the parlor meeting held last Thurs
day evening, at the home OF Mrs
Rufus Phillips. Her pleasant par
lors were filled with a congeniai
company, and the hostess, with
Mrs. Sherman, superintendent OF
parlor meetings, had provided en-
tertainment for young and old, so
that there was no occasion for
dullness on the par, of any. The
phonograph and crokonole board
occupied prominent places, while
conversation, songs and delight
fully rendered recitation given by
Miss Annie Tomlinson, made the
time for departure come all too
soon. We hope for similar oc-
casIons to occur frequently in the
near future.

A GENTLEMAN Just returned from

yesterday that he, with seventeen
others, were discharged from the

fused to wear Mckinley buttons

and lies travel fast and grow worse
in the hands of the democracy
In the original tale only one man
was discharged. Sixteen more

the democratic parity IS once more
established. The tale is a pure
fabrication.

The Lincoln letter, which is be-
ing quoted so freely by the match
less Bryan and his running mate,
Adlai, it is SAID was not written by
Lincoln at all. John Hay and ].
g. Nicolay, private secretaries and
biographers OF the deceased presi-
dent, say that it'was written in 1868
by Cora Hatch, spiritualistic
medium, who claimed that il had
been dictated to her while in a
trance by the spirit OF President
Lincoln. 1t seems to be chronic
complaint of the adherents of
latter-day democracy to rudely
awaken the sheeted dead from their
sepulchural slumbers to squeak
and jibber of the glories of ancient
democracy. The latter-day tribe
can point with pride to--nothing.

WE are reliably informed that
ames Beatty, the candidate Of
all the silver forces OF Otero coun-
,y," participated in the republican
primaries at ManZanola few
mcnths ago to elect delegates to
the republican county convention.
Mr.. Beatty was nominated as an
alternate to the convention, but
he declined the honor, although
he nominated Henry Miller to
serve in his stead and the nomina-
tion was approved IN the primary.
The democratic candinate eviden-
tly experienced a sudden change
OF heart when he saw there was
prospect of being nominated as
candidate for representative "to
save silver" Ambition was the
sin that caused the angels to fall
from grace.

dressed, which was sent us by Messrs.
Nye & Cruzat, butchers at Moss Point

some cut for the editors Sunday dinner.
Saturday morning last at about II
o'clock there was some excitement Gre
ated by an alarm Of fire, which upon in
vestigation proved to be the residence of
Capt. s. r. Thompson. The roof had
caught fire from sparks occasioned by
the burning Of pine straw, which had
been in the chimney place of a north
bedroom during the summer, and which
was ignited on the strength of the cold
weather. The fire company turned out
in response to the alarm, but Mr.. M. G.
Feore and others had extinguished the
blaze with but little damage to the build
ing.
Scranton is trying, and in a measure is
succeeding to keep pace with the great
national march of prosperity, Of which
the South is in the lead, and it is very /
satisfactory to observe the improve
ments under way. New stores, new res.
licences, better roads, more pretentious
improvements mark the advancement,
which is being made towards the greater
Importance Of Il town. As we have
over and over repeated the location of
Scranton, only a mile from the coast, on
the ~Pascagoula river, which has been
made %navigable to a semi-adequate ex-
tent, and as Scranton will in the sure
future be improved upon by deep water
for the admission Of vessels Of twice the
tonnage 10y accommodated, and which
is the most available sea point on the
Mississippi Sound coast shall certainly
be the focus spot of the State Of Missis-
sippi upon which to have its most i'm
portsnt maritime metropolis.
