BRYAN's POrUEARIrY.

Recently one o. the boldest, shrewd-
est and best informed Republican
leaders of the west said: IF the cleo
tion were to be held now Bryan would
be the next president Of the United
States,
This is undoubtedly true. but there
need be no limitation as to the time
when the election should be held.
Bryan will be elected next ember,
for he has steadily grown in public
esteem since his candidacy in 1896
and Mckinley has fallen greatly in
popularity.
On the Porto Rican issue Mckinley
will lose all Of the states in the mid.
de west and his strength among the
people in the east has been badly
shaken.
Speaking Of the present conditions,
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post says:
"on the Porto Ricsn tariff issue tn e
Republicans would lose Indiana. and
not only Indiana, but also Illinois.
Ranning on that platform, Mckinley
would hnd the chances against him in
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
! think that Ohio would be a doubtful
state on that issue"
AS an illustration Of the change Of
sentiment regarding Mckinley and
Bryan since 1896, the correspondent
mentioned two business men Of first
rank in chicago, whose names are well
known in the commercial world. Both
Of these men were large contributors
to the Republican campaign fund four
years ago, Both of them tell me, }"
he says, "that they will not give a
cent to the Republicans this year, but
that all they have to contribnte will
go to the Bryan campaign und."
1t is no wonder that the administers
tion forces are panic stricken over the
magnitude of the Puerto Rican issue.
II Is not mere matter of few pen
mics extra taxation, but'of the funda-
mental principles OF American govern
menv. 1t has taken hold of the people
as nothing since the slavery issue.
On all the issues before the country
at the present time William j. Bryan
stands as the champion OF TIE people
and the people know and appreciate
this fact.
He opposes the oppressive trusts,
favors free trade for Pusrto Rico de-
nounces imperialism, stands fearlessly
in favor OF bimetalism.
On these issues he will make his Rp
peal to the people next November and
the response will be his election al
president OF the United States.

Cling for liberty and freedom and self
government against mighty and
powerful monarchy. The reasons for
the refusalsof this request can only be
surmlsed for the present, but the ad.
ministration will not be permitted to
conceal them from the American
people under the cloak and subterIuge
OF public policy. You can smoke a

Democrats in the senate intend and

Congressman Smith Mcpherson has
accepted an invitation to address the
republican convention of the Ninth
congressional district, which will meet
in this city next Tuesday and has ad-
vised friends here that he plans to ar
rive home from Washington Mon lay.
He confidently expects that congress
will adjourn tomorrow, the senate
seeming disposed to concur in the
house resolution for that date for the
closing of the present session. The
coming of Congressman Mcpherson to
this convention, which will place in
nomination his successor in congress,
is particularly pleasing to republicans
of this city and he will be accorded a
warm reception as tribute to his
splendid services for the district dur
ing his congressional career, cut short

The Atlantic Telegraph the other
day heard Judge Smith tell such good
story on himself, he showed such en-.
joyment of it that it puts it in print. II
happened up in Audubon county the
other day when the next congressman
was there calling on some friends that
he met gentleman who announced
that he did not intend to support
Judge Smith for congress. 1t has so
long been admitted that the election Of
Smith was to be unanimous that the
surprise occasioned by this declaration
was marked and some one in the party
fastened to ask why Judge Smith was
not to have the fellows vote. WELL
replied the objector, II do not intend
to vote for man who looks like a
priest from his feet to his hat, and like
farm hand from Indiana from there
up an9 yet is neither" This sally at
the peculiar head gear of the clean
shaven Judge Smith was without effect,
however, for he still wears the most
peculiar hat in the Ninth district

Judge Smith expects to resign his
place as Judge in this district within a
few days after the congressional con-
vention, in the event that he is nomina-
ted by that convention for congress.
His resignation will be made to take
effect few days after the judicial con-
vention is held, which is near the last
of August, the judicial convention may
then select a candidate for Judge
Smiths place, and the governor, it is
expected. will appoint that nominee to
fill out the unexpired term of Smith.
Thus happy solution has been reached
for all the troubles which confronted
the politicians of the district few days
ago. Atlantic Telegraph.
