DRUMMERs FOR BRYAN.
Views of "a SaIesman Who Travels
and Observes


and Observes.
John Thomas Bailey. formerly of this
city, but now the head Southern salesman
for an Eastern drug company, with head
quarters at Little Rock, Ark, said to a
Times reporter this morning that almost
to man the large body of drummers who
did so much toward securing MeKinley's
election in SO, would vote for Bryan this
year.
THE drummers realize" said Mr.. Bal
ley, that their only hope is in the election
of the Democratic ticket in November. The
Democrats are pledged to enact iegisla-
ton to control trusts, and unless some
thing is soon done to correct the evil of
trusts it Will be but a very little while
before the drummer will find his oecupa-
ton gone. l mean that il the trusts con-
tinUe TO organize and consolidate as they
are doing then in d year or two the little
army of drummers will dwfndle TO a cor
porai's guard. It has not been SO very
long since you would find about twenty or
more drummers in State representing as
many tobacco concerns. Now two drum
mers attend to the tobacco business The
Tobacco Trust supplies every sict and
style of tobacco and the fellows VINO for
neriy represented the Independent dealers
are looking for job.
The druinmers see the drift of the Re-
publican party. which is controlled by the
trusts. and therefore it is TO our interest
to do all We can to insure the election of
Bryan and Stevenson
Mr.. Bailey said that in the different cit
les he has visited during the past two
months everybody he talked with was
eager TO discuss the question of imperial
ism. And" he added, Il fail to find any
man who believed in changing the Repub-
lie for an Empire, as the Republicans
seem bent on doing. l met number OF

tions of Generals Butler, WavelI, and Run
die:
Pretoria. Aug. 10.-Kitchener en-
gagged De Vets rear guard yesterday
near L.indeque. At the same time he
heard Methuen's guns six miles 10 the

watcrworks was attacked on August Z.
Butler occupied Amersfoort on Au-
gust T. The enemy retired. We had
twenty wounded. Butler was on the
north bank of the Reitsanruit, on Au-
gust 9.
Rumble has arrested Commandant
Marais. three field cornets, and 130
buTghers.
"one hundred and thirty additional
burshers have surrendered to Hunter"
1t is supposed from the statement re-
garding General Kitchener's engag ament
with the rear guard of General De Wet
and the fact that he could then hear Me-
tfnen's guns six miles away, that General
Roberts believes his two commanders have
nearly finished the career of De Wet.
General Butler, after defeating the Beers
at Amersfoort and occupy that place OF
August I, proceeded TO the north bank OF
the Reitsanruit ON Thursday.
The continuance of the reports of the
surrender of the Beers is giving much sat
