weight had taken the Drecaution to secure them
in Bryans own handwriting. The written slips laid
down Mr.. Bryan's ideas OF what it would be best

the Democrats and Silver Republicans, and add,
''Or some other person equally committed TO re-

Third-Nominate some who would withdraw
from the Populist ticket If the Kansas City Con-

The opinion Is common here that the latter plan
prevailed after all. and that IL is understood that

The operation is repeated several
times, and by the time they are ready
to start their feet are completely COW
