The old maid stood on the steamboat
deck, whence all but she had fled, and
calmly faced kissing bug that circled
overhead. The maidens shrieked and
the matrons swooned, and the men all
swore amen, but the old maid like a
hero staid, and whispered come again.
There was buzz, a thunder sound,
the old maid, was she dead? Nay,
still she stood and cried for more, but
the kissing bug had fed.

which ~precluded the charge of having said
the same things before. In simple truth it
was the same things, but cleverly has Mr..
Bryan interviewer current events and new
illustrations looking to the same end, and
from the moment he took his stand at the
front of the stage until he had done, his
audience was attentive and decidedly re-
sponsive.
The stage was decorated fttingly for
the occasion, and more than a hundred of
the visiting Democrats who had been APP
pointed vice presidents of the meeting had
seats thereon and just barely enough
room was left to give the speaker a COM
handing position from which to make his
address. Col. Bryan introduced his re-
marks with the explanation that he had
three subjects which he wanted to discuss
finance, trusts and Imperialism. These
were taken up in the order named.
The speakers opinion was that the Dem
ocratic party was in a better fighting con-
| dition today than in 1896, for the reason
| that many who were alarmed at the claim
of the Republicans hat his election meant
ruin to the country had, since McKinley's
Inauguration, IN opportunity to study the
questions which he had discussed and
think over the policies which he repre-.
sented. He called attention to the fact
that in 1854 Republicans had celebrated
the birthday of Jefferson, but they dared
not do such q thing today. They had
strayed away from the old way of think
ing. He said Republicans formerly be
lieved in the man first and then the dollar
but now the case is reversed. and they be
lievc in the dollar first and the man next
and he claimed that this was true despite
the famous message to Congress from Mr.
Lincoln, warning the people of the coun
try against reaching such a point.
Growing Monarchy Idea.
He took the position that there was {
growing sentiment in this country favor
able to a monarchy, and pointed to the in
terview with Mark Hanna which wa
printed shortly after that Republican mas
ter's return from Europe, in which he salt
that the English government was a goo'
one, as good as the government OF III
United States, if not better. He said tn
difference between the republican form o
government and the monarchial form o
government was no more positive than tn
difference between the light and darkness
One meant the divine right of & family t
rule men, and the other meant the divin
right of men to rule themselves; yet sue
leaders of the Republican party though
the English government was as gooc
probably better, than that of our countr,
Col. Bryan then took up the South Afr
can troubles, and pointed out that the Rt
publican party had not, and its leade,
dared not, have a word Of sympathy t
say for the poor struggling Beers. The
!, were fighting for their independence
fight which should warHly and strongl
appeal to every American citizen, but on,
Democrats could be heard to express syn
pathy for the patriots of the Transva,
and the Orange Free State. This sent
ment ELECTED uproarious applause, an
there was no question as to where IL
sympathies OF that audience were. II
