but unconscious humor in Mason's attack
on the British Consul at New Orleans for
critieising American public II IN, coupled
with most vicious and vituperative as
sault on the British Government. He wants

which he himself appears to be in sgeetly
profound ignorance.

Bryan in New Engiand.-It is re-
marked with interest but no surprise by his
admirers that Col w ]. Bryan is meeting
with as enthusiastic a reception in New
England as greets him in other parts of the
country. Though the weather is unpropi
tious and the masses are hard at work in
the factories and stores the crowds OF
New Englanders who are turning out to
hear him speak are unusually large. Ii is
now conceded that when Colonel Bryan re-
turns TO the West he will have no cause TO
characterize the great part Of the East as
the enemys country SO far as the Demo-
cratic masses are concerned and that his
supporters need no longer fear that any
considerable proportion OF the Eastern
States will attempt 10 make demOnstra-
ton against the Nebraskan in the National
Convention. Following is the remainder of
