view or contradictory statements re-
Gently made in regard TO his policy and
how he stood, replied: al stand on
the same lines. am not abandoning
any platform or any principles. I
shall talk on silver, the trusts and
imperialism"
"You place silver first" was sug
gested.

Bryan, "any one of them is enough TO
Kill the Republican party"
Mr.. Bryan was asked what the
prospects for Democratic success
were. He said:
81 think they are good. The right
is bound to win in the end"
When asked later if he had plans
for bringing back Gold Democrats
to the party, he replied: eyes, have a
plan. hi the first place, many have
already come back. In the second
place, there are some who never will
come back and it is no use to work
on them. In the third place, there
are some who will return on one or
two grounds, either that they now
Ike the Chicago platform although
they did not in 1896, or that thew
favor the Democratic position on
new questions that have arisen since
then, and are willing to take the
whole platform, while not agreeing
with every part Of it. / believe that
the Chicago platform, with the ad-
dltion of new questions. including
strong planks against trusts and i'm
perialism, would give excuse to every
body to vote the Democratic ticket
in 1900"

enced in Legislative halls to the bill
of Mr.. Todd, of Augusta, appropriate
ing fund for the free education by
the state of country girls. The OPP
position, however, is confined chiefly
to managers of private schools and
colleges. OF course it can be seen
at once why this opposition. But if
the bill has no other fault than this
it should pass by all means. Let the
country girl have a chance.

VIEWING the coming of Hon. w.
j. Bryan to New York the Ecening
Post of that CITY, said on the Goth.

Post of that city, said on the Goth:
ut was learned to- day that great efforts
Will be made 10 induce Mr.. Bryan TO
treat imperialism and trusts as the main
Issues OF the campaign, and avoid giving
undue prominence TO the 16 to Issue,
MI. Bryan has made several speeches
already on these lines, and 1t is believed
that he can be induced to leave free silver
IN the background while he is in what is
called the enemy's country
"The dinner to be given to Mr.. BRYAN
oyo IL. L. Belmont, on January 22nd,
will be sort of preliminary. And It is
said an attempt will be made TO bring
both wings of the party together in order
that a harmonious delegation can be sent
to the national convention. Mr.. BRYAN
has given many indications lately that
he desired harmony in New York State.
He has curbed the enthusiasm of his
silver followers here, and has show. a
disposition to court the favor of Tam
many"
The Posts forecasts do not tally
with the published accounts of Mr..
Bryan's visits and talks while in New
York last week, but later news is to
the effect that the great silver leader
subsequently, qualified his remarks
Tor the reports of them) on that oc-
casion. He seems to have succeeded
in winning Bourke Cochran and Tam
many 10 his support, anyway. which
assures his nomination.

lor's home county, was arrested a few
minutes after the shooting. lie was
trying to escape from the building
from which the shots were fred.
When searched five pistols were ia
ken off Whittaker's person. He loud
ly protested his innocence, declaring
that he was Democrat ard not a
Republican. He had to be heavily
guarded, however, to keep the mob
from INDUCING in lynch law.
The widest excitement prevailed
all over the town. "They have as
sasslnated Senator Goebel," was
shouted into the door of the House
