BRYAN TO TRAVELLING MEN.
Democratic Leader Discusses Prob
nbIe Issues of Next CampnIEn.


At the fourth annual banquet Of the Ne
braska Travelling Mems Bryan Club, at
Lincoln last night, Mr.. William Jennings
Bryan's address was the feature. Touch
ing on national topics, he said IN part:
We are now near enough to the national
convention TO feel assured that there Will
be no considerable opposition to the reaf-
frmation OF the Chicago platform, The late
elections destroyed the last hope Of those
who sought TO modify or subtract from the
creed enunciated at Chicago in 1896 The
lash of the inanciers to the open espousal
of the gold standard. and spurred on by the
national banking corporations, IL has avow-
ed its purpose to drive the greenbacks out

is ued and controlled by the national banks.
The democratic party still contends for
the restoration of bimetallism al the ratio
OF 10 10 l. the only ratio advocated by those
who believe in the double standard: 1t also
contends for the greenback as against the
bank note
Mr.. Bryan discussed the trust question at
some length, and then, on the subject of
Imperialism. said:
Commercial travellers. who seek the ex-
tension OF trade by peaceful and legitimate
means will not lend their support to the
fmperialistic methods employed in the fur
therance of conquest. The commercial
traveller will not substitute violence for
reason.

that citizens of the United States (mostly
naturalizedD claim the assistance of United
States consular officers in Germany for
the purpose Of the determination of a pro-
jected marriage. The consular reeula tions
forbid the giving OF certificates relative to
marriage laws in the United States, and
these citizens frequently meet with insur-
mountable difficulties. These could, how
ever, be avoided If Americans who intend
to marry in Germany were to procure the
papers required by the authorities here
before leaving the United States. The new
law requires:

Star reporter, $1,000 votes were polled.
and in the congressional election last year
the total vote was 4S,S13, with an enormous
stay-at-home vote. The poll made by the
congressional committees in charge Of the
campaign showed that there are $1,000
voters in the territory. Take the vote of
last year however, and it will show that
Oklahoma polled more votes than were
polled for both representatives from Flor
ida and all their opponents; 10000 more
than all the candidates received in Idaho;
40 600 more than were cast in Nevada;
more than were cast in Montana. Rhode
Island, North Dakota, Wyoming, Delaware
and South Carolina. In both congressional
districts of Rhode Island last year the total
vote was 3S093. Our total vote was 1000
more than this, yet Rhode Island mas two
