IMMENSE CROWD GREETED BRYAN The Great Democratic Leader
 Speaks at Baltimore, INTERRUPTED BY APPLAUSE He Assured the Audience That His Hap piness Did Not Depend Upon Any Honor Which the Nation
 Could Confer.
INTERRUPTED BY APPLAUSE

Baltimore, January 20.-The Hon. w. J. Bryan delivered an address here tonight upon the political questions of the day to an audience which filed the music hall, the biggest auditorium in the city, to its full capacity, and which greeted him and e:is remarks with t.le greatest enthusiasm. The meeting was he'd under the auspices of the Maryitnd Democratic association, one of the free silver wings of the dem oeaatie party of the state, and was not encouraged in any manner by the regular democratic organization.
 They made effort to discourage it but not one of the democratic leaders ap- peared upon the platform, and an offer of stage tickets was politely declined by the prFncipai members of the democratic cen tra. committee. MT. Bryan came over from Washington in special car attached to the Pennsylvania railroad tra.n which left Washington at D. m., accompanied by a committee under the leadership of S. S. f1eid' chairman of the committee of ar Engagements.
 With the party who came over from Washington were Senator Tillman. of South olina; Congressman Sulzer, of New Aork; Congressman Richardson, of Ten nessee; Congressman Jones, of Virginia, and DeArmond, of Missouri. It was nearly o'clock when the party reached the hali
 
 roariously.
 MT. Bryan began by saying:
 ''l want to assure you in the beginning that my happiness does not depend upon any honor which the people of this nation can confer neither do I believe that this nations happiness or welfare depends upon any one person. As in politics as in the army. the generals get the glory and the privates do the work. And therefore I feel that I owe 1t to those who for nearly four years have been bearing the burden in the heat of the day; owe it to them to say that what I have done is but an atom compared with what they have done"
 In conclusion Mir Bryan said:
 ''I want if I can. to help to restore a government founded upon the declaration of independence and administered accord ing to the doctrine of Jefferson: a govern ment that will stand as it did in Jackson's day, between a bank aristocracy and the people.
 But, my friends, I cannot tell you what fate has decreed. I cannot tell you wheth- CT 1t is to be our lot to triumph, and in our triumph lay the foundation against the other places, and raise again the ancient landmarks which the fathers had set up. I cannot tell; but know this: That if 1t is fate that this nation is to cease to be a republic, has become an empire; If it Is destiny that this, the greatest republic of history, is to extinguish its light and fol- low In the light of the monarchies of the old world, if in the Providence of God the time has come when the pendulum should swing back toward the dark ageS of tri- uSnph of brute force, pray to God that the democratic party may go down to eternal death with the republic, rather than to live when it's principles are gone.''

DIFFERENCE AS ID METHOD

Washington, January 20.-Tue reports of the special committee of investigation in the Brigham H. Roberts case, of Utah, were presented to the house today. The majority, signed by Chairman Tayer and six of nis associate is voiuminous doc ument, and is accompanied by summary of the law and facts. It gives the details of the hearings, the ample opportunities afforded to MT. Roberts to present hs case, his refusal to testify and the unani- mous finding of facts, heretofore published.
 It proceeds: '"The committee is unanm JUS fn its be.ief that MT. Roberts ought not to remain a member of the house of repre- sentatives. A majority are of the opinion tia,t he ought not to be permitted to re- main member, and that ithe house has a right to exclude nim. A minority are of the opinion that proper course of pro- cedure is to permit him to be sworn in and, then expel him by two-rnirds vote under the constitutional provisions providing for expulsion"
 The report then sets out at length the reasons for the action .akea by bo.h the majority and minority of the committee. 1tae two principal grounds given by the majority are that MT. Roberts j, disquali- fled by reason of his violation cs e,e Ed munds act; and, second, '.Ly reason Of his notorious and defiant violation of the law of the land, of the supreme codrt and of the proclama ton of the president, hold ing himself above the law and not amenable to it."
 The majority report is signed by Robert w. Tayler, Charles B. Landis, Page Morris, Romeo H. Freer. Smith McPherson, Sam uel w. T. Lanham, Robert w. Miers
 The Minority Report <
 The minority report is signed by Mr. Littlefield, republican. of Maine ane Mr. DeArmond, democrat, of Missouri. It says in part:
 Assuming that MT. Roberts has been and is now polygamist, mlawfully CO., of representa- tives is for that reason of the opinion that he ought not to foe a member thereof, what course should it rightfuly pursue under the consti tuition, the supreme law of the land-exclude n;m or expel him? If he is to be excluded, it must be because he is for such reason legally ineligible or disqualified. The purpose is to consider the question of constitutional right, not of power to exclude, with or without reason, right or wrong. The exercise of such a power without constitutional warrant would simply be brute force, tyrannous exercise of power, unreviewable by any tribunal"
 The review then exhaustively reviews the law and precedents bearing, on the case. The main points are as follows:

 John Ruskin was born in London in Feb- ruary, 1919. He was the son of a London merchant, from whom he inherited a large fortune. In 1S42 he graduated at Christ Church college, Oxford, having in 1889 gain ed the Newdigate prize for English poetry.
 He at once devoted himself to the study of art and water color painting. In 1S43 he published Modern Painters: Their Super iority in the Art of Landscape Painting to All the Ancient Masters, by Graduate of Oxford" This attracted attention by the brilliancy of its style, the eloquence of it's descriptive passages, and particularly the summary manner in which the most distin- g;llshed landscape painters of the old and new schools were disposed of, and Turner S supremacy advocated. Among critics its re- ception was hostile. but 1t was so well re- ceived by the public in general that 1t was republished in a more elaborate way in 1S46. He was beyond the shadow of a doubt the greatest art critic of the present age, if not all the ages. His greatest works were Modern Painters" as noted above, 'The Seven Lamps of Architecture" "The Stones of Venice" and 1.-The Study of Architec- ture in Schools" In 1887 he received the degree of LL. D. from the University of Cambridge which also gave him profess sorship. Two years earlier Oxford lad made him Professor of Fine Arts. He show ed his desire to advance art education by giving $25.000 to endow master of drawing ct Oxford. ,s..s s,.-

Indications Point to Their Election As Representative.

Grove Hill, January 2O-(Special )-Indica- tions are that Massey Wilson and Frank E. Poole have been elected to the legislature. The race between Dunn and Cunningham for the state senate is very close. Sanford has probably carried the county for gover- nor, though Stallings is running him a very close race. The county officers are badly scattered. Returns received so far for sen atorship give Morgan a majority on popular vote of 502.

Thomasville, January 20.-(Special.)- )-It Is impossible to get returns from some of the remote precincts tonight. Pleasant Hill, In which Fulton is situated. gave Morgan 66. Johnston l. Bashi had ali the time been conceded to the governor, but its vote shows a Morgan majority of 6. Taliahata Coffeeville and Salitpa are not heard from, but is thought to be about divided. Camp bell, Gainstown and Gosport will probably be solid for Morgan. Captain Frank s. White claims the county for Morgan, and Judge John M.

SOME BEATS TO BE HEARD FROM
Out of Fifty-Eight Votes Necessary to Success Morgan Has Fifty-Four While Gov Johnston So
 Far Has Two

Grove Hill, January .-(Special.)-Sena- tor Morgan has carried Clarke county over Governor Johnston by safe majority, and his control of the delegation is now con- ceded. From the beats heard from his vic tory is overwhelming. The vote in other beats may somewhat reduce this majority, but it is hardly probable, as both candidates were stalking their chances on Grove Hill beat Johnston was badly defeated here, and it is predicted that similar reports will come from the sofar silent precincts.
 The Clarke county convention will con- sist of 115 delegates, 5S votes being neces- sary to a majority.
 So far Morgan has 54 votes and John ston g. It is hardly possible that the sena- tor can be prevented from securing the re- maining four delegates necessary to his success in the county.

Give Us a Rest.

The Picayunc in an editorial o.
June 18th has much to say on Mr.
Bryan's views Of the equality Of
man. 1t says it can not endorse
those views bat can endorse bis
ideas on Imperialism. This is the
latest illustration of rejecting a
theory and accepting a condition.
Mr.. Byan's idea on Imperialism are
founded upon the equality Of man.
By the equality Of man is meant his
natural snd inherent equality before
the law.
Neither does Mr.. Bryan nor any of
those who believe as lie believes
found their belief on the equality of
man on the sandy basis Of al un-
equal distribution of wealth. What
is meant by equality is that every
right legal and natural which you
possess shall also he mine.
If the Picayune will take the
time to read Mr.. Bryan's speech de-
livered at Madison Square Garden
in New York City upon the occasion
Of his acceptance of the nomination
for the Presidency by the Demo
rats in 1896, it will there find n
statement Of Mr.. Bryan's views on
he equality of man. He said that !
t is not meant that all men are
'qual in wealth, intelligence or So
;isl privileges but that all men are
quail before the law. He said that !
Where the citizen touches the Gov
where the Government
ONES in contact with the citizen,
here should be no high, no low, no
reat, no small that any Govern
nent which was not able to protect,
rom every hand uplifted for his
injury, the humblest citizen be-
cath the flag was unworthy of the
