ported the Chicago platform and Col. Bryan in
1895 a Democrat He refused to talk at any
length Of the probable outcome Of the Kansas

this connection that he said his personal in
terests were as nothing as compared with the
success Of the united forces of reform and that
there never was a time when harmony i a.
Necessary.

basement of the Government building al night
When the State Constables went one day to

There was so much liquor 70 gointo the sewer

way il got into the pipes leading TO the cistern'
A great amount of the liquor ran into the cis-

water they got to feeling gay. There was an
other investigation. The Cistern water Is sim
