'briclped'' in speakers, in at least two in- stances One is Webster Davis. the sil- yer stong1ied orator from Kansas City. of Boer fame, and other flames too nu- msrous to mention. Dav,s has been discredited in his own state, and is hay ing a hard row to hoe, according to re- ports from almost every place he speaks. They continually ask him about that hole that was shot in his hat whsn fhs was running for mayor in Kansas City,. and then touch him up aheun that $125.000 he was alleged to have received from the Boers. When ever Davis gets off a speech the repub- lica,n Headquarters hear about it, and numerous letters are received. telling of the bad impression he produced.
 Senator Wellington is ancther one of the. democrats who has been put in the bold brick class. H. is a good talker, but illogical. Through every argument he makes there. is the sign of the per Ssolal feeling involved, and this sort of thing does not make votes. The demo- cr,ats have been fortunaise in having some of the o9d-line democrats on the stump; perhaps Bourke Cochran and D. B. Hill have called forth the nost I4NOTdDle when told of his inconsistency, says, Well, I had rather be right than con- sistent-''
 Both of the national committees have shut down on their. literature, and now 1he spelEbinders are pounding day and might, and will continue to do so un- til the polls open on November c.. Pol iI.icians are dropping into Chicago ev- cry day and making reports to their respective committees The hard work of the campaign has begun, and there will be no rest now until after the elec- tion.
 Many requests are being received each day at republican headquarters for Senator Hanna. He has made an impression wherever he has spoken. and has proven a drawing card.
 One of the surprises of the wsek was the Hopping of ex-Congrssnsn W. H. Stone, of the tenth congressional dis trtct of Missouri. NIT. Stone has been a prominent democrat all his life, and served in the forty third and forty fourth congresses. He is now out for Mckinley.
 PERRY HEATH'S VIEWS.
 Ut does not surprise me in the least, " said Secretary Perry $. Heath, today. atSrepublican national headquarters, that de mocrats decline to vote for Bry- an.s When I say. democrats I mean the old followers of the regular demo- cratic party, those who believe in the doctrines of Jefferson, not of Agutnal- do 0Ir. Bryan has nJthing in common with the old democratic party. On more than one occasion he has threat ened to bolt that party.
 Tn the Nebraska state conv vent:on in 1898, held in. the Funk opera house. at Ltncolrl. the platform adopted favored ths repeal of the Sherman law. Mr. Bryan. submitted an amendment to tllts plank, and made a radical speech before the vote was taken. Speaking of the plank favorins the repeal of the Sherman law, he said:
 q. If this reflects the sentiments of the democratic party of this state, and rhis party declares in favor bf the gold standard, as it will if It passes this resolution: if you declare in favor of the tmpoverishmen of Nebraska; if you intend to make more galHng than the slaves of black the slavery of the debtors of the country; if the demo- cratic par-cy after you get home indors- es your actions and this gives your sentiments, I want to promise you that will go out and serve my country and my God under some r'ther name, if l go alone"
 Again in a speech in the state sen ate he said:
 80 far as I am ps rsonally concern ed 1t matters not to me (snapping his fipgers) w1Ds, hsr you vote the amend Inent up or down; it matters not whether you pass this resolution con- demning my course or. endorsing it; for if I am wrong In the position l have taken will fall though you heap prais esE upon me, and if I am right in. the position have Laken-and in my heart so help me God I believe I am-if am right I will triumph although you de- rounee me in your couyention.
 4.'Upon still anoth:r occasion! at Mt Vernon, H., on the evening of March IT.; 1896, Mr. Bryan addressed a large audience upon the subject of binetal- listn. He went at the invitation of local .democratic leaders, who expected that he would deliver, a democratic speech. but to their surprise he took occasion to say that he was not a democrat, nor was he a populist, as had been claimed by the populist leaders He declined to acknowledge allegiance to any party. What say can be Verl- fled from the files of tha Chicago news papers. I am quite sure. at least thai you will find in the Tribune of July l2 1896. d record of Mir. Bryan's sayings ;Ks have here supplied them. He has said himself that. h. is not a. democrat inc has said that he is mt a popultst yet he looks to both democrats And populists to 5lect him president of the United States In my opinion he wil be sadly disappointed. Neith5r demo crats or popuhstAs will, to any extent support a man who dfsclaimed all al'
