BRYAN POPULAR IN GEORGIA.
Predicted That the State VIII Give
Him 100000 Majority.

Smith Clayton, of the Atlanta Journal" I"
was a caller at the Democratic headquar-
ters at the Metropolitan Hotel yesterday.
Mr. Clayton is on his way to Europe for
a trip of several months duration. In
speaking of the political aspect of the
Presidential campaign in Georgia, Mr..
Clayton said:
You can depend on it that Georgia will
go Democratic with an overwhelming ma
iority. One hundred thousand will be
about the majority that 1 think will be
given Bryan. His grand speech at the
notification ceremonies has wor him many
friends in Georgia. By many Il is consid-
cred the ablest presentation o1 the party's
principles that has been delivered in two
campaigns. In 1886 there was q considera-
Bile vote thrown away to Palmer and Buck
ner by these who could not support the
silver issue and who would not vote for
Mckinley Most of these voters have
come over TO thu Democracy on the issue
of Imperialism A number of the negroes
will this year vote the Democratic ticket,
something that is almost unprecedented
in the history Of the State. Of course, the
largest portion of them still cling to the
Republican party, but the more enlight-
ened are beginning to see that that party
does nothing for them. The labor plank
in the Democratic platform is what is at
tracing them to Bryan. You may be sure
that Georgia viii give imperialism a big
setback "

MID-ROADERS IN TROUBLE.
May De Refused Place on the
BALLOT in Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Neb. Aug 15.-The right OF
the Silver Republicans and Mid-road Popu-
list parties to places on the official ballot
in Nebraska, this fall. was enquired into
and argued at length today before Sec
rotary Of State Porter. Tie duty of de-
Gliding such contentious falls upon that
official. Protests were filed several weeks
ago against both parties, the regular Re-
publican organization being the obiecting
agent in the case of the Silver Republi-
cans and the regular Populists protesting
against the Mid readers
The present Secretary of State was elect
ed as regular Populist. Should he follow
his political leanings and bar the Mid
readers, while permitting the Silver Re-
publicans to stay on the ballot the Repub-
liean committee has announced its inten-
tion to take the matter into the Supreme
Court of the State.
A recent phase of the Nebraska political
situation is the raising of a question as
to the eligibility of Wharton Barker, can
didate of the MiG-roaders for the Presi-
dency. 1t is alleged that Barker, while
acting in an official capacity for the United
States Government. accepted title OF
nobility from the Czar of Russia. This

sent of Congress, under the Federal Con-
stitution and statutes, makes Barker in

ILLINOIS, GERMAN VOTE.
A Prophecy That Bryan VIII Get the

Bryan has more than an even chance TO
carry the State in November. In an in
terview with Times reporter Mr.. Cuppy
said:
"I believe he will receive at least 60 per
cent of the German vote in Illinois this
year Several OF the influential German
papers in the State that fought Bryan four
years ago are now supporting him, and
there are one or two other German pa
pers that supported Mckinley in 1886 that
are now opposing him although not urg-
ing Bryans election. This time tire

there is much discord in the ranks OF the

Mason will take the stump for McKin-

but 1t is well known to all the voters in
the State that the Senator is not in sym
pathy with the imperial policy of the Ad-
mnistration. and therefore he will co
Mckinley more harm than good.
There Is no apathy among the Demo-
Gratis in this campaign; they are not ii-
vided nor split as they were in 1895, which
counted in a large measure for McKin-
ley's vote. The Democratic candidate for
Governor Of Illinois is a promin, Mt Ger
man. and Bryan will receive every Ger
man vote that is cast for the candidate
for Governor. There is every reason TO

IRIsHMEN CHEER BRYAN.
C1an-Na-GneI Guards Escort the
Democratic Candidate.

CHICAGO, Aug IA drizzling rain
did its best to quench the enthusiasm OF
the Irish-Ameriears who assembled for
their annual picnic at sunnyside Park to-
cay. The day was practically given up to
the demonstration in honor of Mr.. Bryan,
and those who braved the rain were re-
warded by Mr.. Bryan's speech. 1t was
calculated to stir Irish pride and arouse
Irish appreciation of wit.
While Mr.. Bryan was paying an eloquent
tribute to the Irish race. some one en- the
platform crisd:
Your name ought to be o'Bryan." After
the cheers that followed this sally had b.
sided. Mr. Bryan SAID with a smile:
THE gentleman says my name ought to
be O'BTyan. II he were IS well informed
on the subject as l am he would know that
Bryan is the original name. When a Bryan
became q king he attached the o 10 his
name, and the O'Briens of today are the
descendants of that king. while the Brysns
are the descendants OF the plain people who
did not become pulled up over their rela-
tionship TO a king"
Thus proclaimiug his Irish descent Mr..
Bryan won the favor Of his hearers and
was roundly cheered.
The speakers in the afternoon. besides
Mr.. Bryan, were Adlai E. Stevenson,
Charles E. Towne and Samuel Alschuler.
A committee headed by Col. John F.

CLARK SEEKS REVENGE.
Montana Millionaire Said to Oppose
senator William L. Chandler.

CONCORD, n. H., Aug. I5.-fhe 'Moni-
tor" tonight publishes a startling edi-
toriaI charging that ex-senator William
a Clark. of Montana, intends to use a
large sum of money in an endeavor to
defeat the reelection Of Senator Chandler
to the United States Senate In revenge
for the attitude Mr. Chandler took in the
Montana senatorial enquiry. The edito-
rial says in part:
I'm addition to any other questions
which may arise as to the wisdom or ex-
pediency OF rejoicing Senator Chandler,
the Republicans of New Hampshire
are confronted with this important
and serious enquiry: Shall ex-Sena-
tor W. A. Clark, of Montana, by. cor
rupt expenditures Of vast sums OF money.
take revenge upon Mr.. Chandler for his
successful efforts in forcing Clark from
the Senate because his election was void
on account of corrupt practices and brib-
cry.
That Senator Clark intends to enter
New Hampshire with money there is no
doubt He has sworn vengeance upon Mr..
Chandler and has declared that he will
spend $1,000 to defeat him He may
think that he can. for his purpose, spend
money through New Hampshire Demo-
Gratis. There is not lacking evidences
that he intends. if possible, to spend mon
ey through Republican hands. If he can
find them willing He is desperate. 1t is
to be hoped that neither Democrats nor
Republicans will receive or use the wages
OF bribery and corruption in an attempt
to destroy Mr. Chandler.
But the danger to Senator Chandler
is 4 real one. Clark is worth from $780,
0CO. .0CO to SO. 100000, and his income is
about so, 900 co.,"

A RIOT IN NEW YORK.
Serious Anti-Negro Demonstrations
on the West Side.


NEW YORK, Aug. 1J.-Three days ago a
West Side policeman was murdered by a
negro. Tonight mob took possession of
Eighth Avenue from Twenty eighth Street
to Forty-third Street. and spread to Ninth
and Seventh Avenues through the various
side streets and beat and assaulted every
negro man or woman who showed a head.
Negroes were pulled off street ears, rolled
over in the street, kicked and beaten. and
were almost murdered, before they could
be rescued by the police
The reserves from the West Tdirty-sev-
erth Street station were unable to cope
with the rioters, and they had to call upon
the West Thirtieth Street ard the West
Twentieth Street stations for assistance.
The police reserves of those two Stations
and every man already on duty who cou- d
be spared from his post was Immediately
hurried to the scene OF the trouble
Chief Deverey. accompanied by ten men
of his personal staff, hurried to Eighth
Avenue and assumed charge of the police.
Long after midnight the sire IS were fle

a negro appeared. Their rush would be
made in his direction both by tn rioters
and the police. the former to injure m if
possible, the latter to re scue him.
Ambalances from the hospitals in the
neighb 1rhood were put in use and removed
a number of negroes who were badly

doors and discontinue business for the
night in order that whisky might not in

has just returned from Chicago, to a

Commenting on the action of the Ma
tional Committee in dealing with the con-
test from the District. Mir. Slater said:
Every Democrat in the District of Column
bia who is a Democrat should heartily en-
dorse the action of the Subcommittee OF
the National Committee in its disposition
of the contest from the District. That
action showed conclusively that there was
no prejudice on the part of the committee
on either side. The decision of the COM
mittee in referring the contest back to
the District Democrats was based on the
cardinal principles OF Democracy The
right TO elect a member Of the National
Committee should emanate from the peo-
pie.
Mr. Norris was the only one who OBJ
iected to the people having any further
voice in the matter of such Importance. 1t
has been my earnest desire since the Kan
sas City Convention, and have fought for
it, TO have this controversy referred back
to the people of the District that they
might select a man OF their own choice;
one whom the whole Democracy of the
District would be satisfied with
After leaving Indianapolis. where Mr..

monies to Mr. Bryan, he visited a number

in West Virginia | met a number of promi-
nent Democrats. who told me the State
was safe for Bryan. Imperialism is the
issue. and the people of West Virginia are
against Il. In Illinois there is a strong
feeling in favor Of Bryan. The German
voters are almost a unit against the Nc
Kinley Administration, and with the Ger
mans opposed TO Mckinley the Democrats
can carry the State. The Germans are still
Republicans. but they will not stand for
Imperialism, and therefore they will not
support Mckinley this year. The senti-
ment in the middle West is strongly for
Bryan"
A gentleman just returned from In
dianapolis said last night anent the Dis
trict of Columbia trouble: Norris out
break was the first discord in the entire
proceedings and surprised even his close
personal friends. The opinion among the
members of the National Committee is
that Norris will never again be seated in
the National Committee and that Slater's
chances for winning the contest have been
greatly increased by Norris action"
