WITHOUT REGRET, AND HOPES

HIS NEW FATHER-IN-LAW
SUGGESTS.

LONDON, November 24.-The last
person to board the American line train
for Southampton at the Waterloo sta
ton this morning was the Duke of
Manchester. VINO had great deal of
baggage to attend to and was just in
time to jump into his compartment as
the train moved out of the station. The
ducal party, including the three Misses
Evans, aunts of the bride, arrived in
cabs a quarter of an hour before the
train started. Simultaneously with
them came Sheriff Lawrence's state car
riage. The public and the railway Off
Gals mistook the latter for the convey
ance of the Duke and Duchess and their
cabs passed almost without notice
The Duke was attired in blue fan
mel suit, with tan shoes and a shaggy
Scotch travelling cap, and the bride wore
long astrakhan cloak
The Duke and Duchess had their first
interview yesterday with the Dowager
Duchess, who was quite i'll. Their re-
ception was most cordial, and in the
evening there was family dinner at
the home of Mrs. Lister-Kaye, aunt of
the Duke.
The Duke explained that the cere-
mony in the Marylehone Church was
regarded more in the light of legal
contract than as wedding, which he
expected would be more fully solemn

.HOKE SMITH SAYS SOUTH
IS THROUGH With BRYAN,
IF HE CONTINUES TO URGE THE
ISSUES ON WHICH TWO ELEC-
TIONS WERE LOST.
HIS HONEST INTENTIONS
MAKE HIM BELOVED, BUT AS A
PARTY LEADER HE IS NOT A
SUCCESS.

ATLANTA, Ca, November 24.-Hon.
Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior
under President Cleveland's last term,
said to-day in reference to Mr.. Bryan's
expressed intention of adhering to the
principles of the Chicago platform:
II regret that Col. Bryan deems it
proper to continue at this time to de-
lend the principles of the Chicago plat
form. He has twice received as the
nominee of the Democratic party the
loyal support of the Democrats OF the
South. The last time he met with no
opposition in the South, even for the
nomination.
/ disapproved the suggestion of re-
organization of the party by certain
parties in the East, and | think Col.
Bryan is making mistake equal to
that which would have resulted from
reorganization.
The Democratic party should stand
between the plutocrat and the Social
ist as the party of the constitution and
OF the people. 1t should defend the
rights of persons and of property, and
not be led into attack upon either.
THE South alone has remained
steadfast to the party and our Sena-
tors, Congressman and people should
assert their right for the present to
speak for the party.
THE party must regain the conf
dence of the majority of the voters in
Maryland, Indiana and other States by
convincing them that its policies will
be wise and conservative, protecting
not only personal rights, but also prop
erty rights.
While some of our best men be-
lieved four years ago that the unlimited
coinage of silver would be desirable
to furnish larger supply of currency,
conditions have changed and / have
heard many of these same men declare
that with the increased supply of gold
they are no longer in favor of pressing
the silver question. / believe Col.
Bryan will find a majority of the for
mer silver advocates in the South I'M
willing 20 follow him further. Those,
who, like myself, opposed the platform
but still voted for Col Bryan after he
was nominated, will naturally join the
former silver men who do not intend
to push this question and do not be-
believe Col. Bryan will find any consid-
cradle number of Southern States with
him again.
ANY effort to press him or his views
upon the country will meet determined
opposition. Col. Bryan is beloved for
his honest intentions, but as a party
leader he has not been a success" .

Charge Preferred by Bert SWINE

Hearing Monday Morning on a
Charge Preferred by Bert SWINE
berg.
Yesterday in Squire Rogers court a
warrant was sworn out by Bert Swine
berg for d. W. Craig, who
charged him with threatening to
kill his (Swineberg's) wife and
children. Lieutenant Dan Ingram went
after the man and brought him before
the Squire As he had no one to go
on his bond he was committed 90 jail
to await a hearing Monday morning
at II O'Clock. Mr. Craig grew very
vindictive during his story in the
Squires Office and had his son, who
was in the Office, and Swineberg
searched, charging them with carrying
concealed weapons, but nothing OF a
harmful nature was found upon their
persons.
Craig knowing that he would be
searched asked the 'Squire's permission
to go into the back Office and get a
drink. When he returned the barrel
and stock of the revolver, minus the
cylinder, were found in the Office in a
bookcase. What Craig hoped to gain
by hiding the portion of the weapon
Is not known. The Squire has it that
Il will be used as evidence in the case

MR.. BRYAN IN CHICAGO.
Made Flying Trip From Lincoln
for Consultation With Charles


CHICAGO, November 24.-William Jen-
nings Bryan arrived in Chicago this morn
ing from Lincoln. He drove to the Audi
forum Annex, where he did not register,
but was at once shown to the room occu-
pied by Charles A. Towne, Of Minnesota.
There he remained in consultation with
Mr.. Towne and former Senator Fred T.
Du Bots, of Idaho, until tonight, when he
returned to Lincoln.
Mr.. Bryan refused to say what was
discussed during the meeting, but did not
deny that the future policy of the Demo-
cratic party was one of the topics dis
cussed.
4 expect TO remain in politics as long
as 1 live" said Mr.. Bryan. Il shall con-
tinue to advocate and work with both
tongue and pen for the principles for
which l have fought so long l shall con-
tinue to reside in Lincoln, Neb''
To the question of what he thought of
the proposed reorganization of the Demo-
cratic party, he said:
Il have nothing to say on that subject
at this time. When the opportune time
comes for me to express myself. / shall
be heard. I shall write my views out
carefully in order that my position may
not be misunderstood. | have neither the
inclination nor the time to do so now
Il have received innumerable offers for
my services, comprising opportunities in
nearly all the vocations of life, but l am
not looking for a position-not now" and
he joined in with Mr.. Towne with hearty
laugh.
Il am in the best of health and expect
to be exceedingly busy for some time to
come. I have not seen any of the local
politicians. l came here to consult with
Mr.. Towne and one or two other men in
regard TO matters which l do not care to
talk about
Mr.. Bryan appeared to be in the best
of spirits and had none Of the marks OF a
man crushed politically. AS compared
with his appearance on the eve of the cleo
ton, when he plainly bore the signs OF
the strain under which ne was laboring,
