ure to be noted, was the absolute
clearing Of the atmosphere of all doubt
and hesitation as to issues, and such
inspiration to battle, from this on, as
has never before been felt in this
state. Likewise was it such a rebuke
to what Mr.. Towne termed peanut
politics. as will clear, there is no
doubt, even the Twin City atmosphere.
The management of all the func-
lions must be accorded due praise, as
there is but one Banquet" Baldwin,

great political gatherings.
1t was Il proud time for the repre-
sentativcs OF our Reform Press, and
only to be regretted that more could
not have attended. We should all feel
a just pride at the renewed compli-
ments paid our press by our great
chieftain, Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan went direct to Lincoln
and from there to /: Kentucky BAN

sey. Before returning home he will
make an extensive tour through New
England, with his gospel of true
Americanism, Of human, political and

So many uncertain comments have
been made with reference to the new
duties given Surveyor General Corser,
and recent conferences" by him, that
it will be a matter of political informa-
ton to state what are the facts. Mr..
Corser has been commissioned by the
democratic national committee, by
Chairman Jones, to have official
charge of the allies in this campaign,
with reference to their relation to the
democratic organization-a function,
the Importance of which cannot be
overestimated. This includes the
silver republicans, the anti-imperial'
lists, the anti-trusters, and other indie
pendent movements. Mr.. COrser will
no doubt, much Of the time later on in
the campaign, be located at Chicago
The selection was made at the in
stance of Mr.. Towne and other close
friends of Mr.. Corser who are aware
of his tremendous energy and his
great executive ability. 1t is to be
hoped that the new and important
duty will not too largely encroach OF
his connection with local and stat,
work. His other work will cover any
part of the whole country, and may
especially apply to the close congress
sional districts.
