NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
GOLD BUGS WRITE PRESIDENT
DEMOCRATIC CLUB
a LETTER

(By Telegraph to virglrtan-Pilot.)
New York. Jan. 2.-The following let
ter, signed by John Fox, a former pres
ident of the Democratic Club and now
member of the Board of Governors;
Robert Ii. Roosevelt and John F. Doyle
was sent tonight to John w. Kellar
president of the Democratic Club:
1t is with the most kindly feeling
and certainly with no desire to criticise
your acts. that we take the liberty. as
members OF the Democratic Club, to
address you. We are credibly inform
ed that you have invited William j.
Bryan to become your guest at the
Democratic Club and take dinner with
you and Il party of friends.
In other words. MIR. Bryan is to be
entertained by you, and the place of
Sucn entertainment is at the Demo-
cratic CLUB While it is your unques-
.lonapie right, or the right of any other
member, to invite any gentleman
whom he may choose to become his
guest at the club, yet under existing
conditions, we greatly fear that your
act VIII become construed by the pub
lie as the act of the club should YOU
give such dinner to this distinguished
guest without offlrmatively disclaim-
ing such intention on the part of the
club.
I'VE ourselves can fully distinguish
between an official act and individual
opinions We want 1t understood, too.
That we have no personal objections to
MI Bryan, nor do we object In the
slightest degree to your giving him n
dinner at the club in your individual
capacity as one of its members. we
should much regret, however If what
you propose to do should be construed
throughout the country as n political
Endorsement by the Democratic Club
OF the Presidential candidacy. Mt this
time, of MIR. Bryan
The Democratic Club is essentially
Democratic political organization, and
OF it's 5000 members none but Demo-
Gratis belong to 1t. You are now its
president, and in the absence of n dis
clamer on your part to the contrary.
your course in anything that pertains
to the club or It's affairs might be con-
strued, and not unreasonably so, as the
act of the club. 1t will not do TO say
that such a construction would be
placed upon your acts by the ignorant
or misinformed because r. Bryan him
self has established q precedent which
is applicable to the case now In point.
We desire to call your attention TO n
portion OF the correspondence which
took place between your immediatc
predecessor, as president of the club
and the distinguished gentleman whom
you have invited to be your guest at
the club. You will remember that Mr..
Bryan now stands before the nation as
an avowed asprant seeking the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination."
Here the letter cites the acrimonious
correspondence between Mr.. Bryan and
Perry Belmont, growing out of Mr..
Bryan's decl:nation of the Democratic
Clubs invitation to the jefferson Day
banquet last April, in which he con-
demned political communion between
Jefferson Democrats who stand upon
the Chicago platform and the Repub-
lican allies who masquerade as Demo-
Gratis between campaigns in order to
give more potency to their betrayal of

An Old Theory
Exploded.
Feed Net DDiiggeessted in
the Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares it for AS
simiIatlOn by the intestines.

Until few months ago the medical
profession. as well as the public at large,
have always believed that icnd was
digested in the stomach; but thanks to
science they are now enabled tc follow
the whole process of digestion with their
the mouth until 1t Is tnken into the sys-
tenn, or carried off through tn. bowels
Heretofore all remedies for the cure Of
dyspepsia have been given with the Idea
of assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ does
not digest 1t at all explains the cause OF
Their failure to cure the diseAse. and its
constant increase in spite Of the thou
sand and one remedies used. Another
and equally important discovery was
also made; that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia, two OF which require
different remedies. and the remedy for
one must be exactly opposite to thai
stance. aeid dyspepsia requires an aka
line treatment: indigestion an acid
treatment; these combined and gwen i'm

effect. The third and most dangerous OF
all, Intestinal dyspeps:a) requires germ

cause the disease. Understanding this

EXPERT OPINION.

The Daily Chronicles military expert
says:
Even when a battle is won in q sin
gle day. as a rule, pursuit Is only pos
sible when fresh troops are available
But in this instance it is not n uues-
ton of mere pursuit, but of renewing
an attack upon entrenched positions,
after a days hard fighting and a night
lying on the battlefield"
Reinforcements aggregating 5000 or
more have reached Cape Town during
the last three days. 1t Is uncertain
how these have been disposed but
probably most of them have been sent
to Natal, where 1t is believed General
Butler neds them.
BRITISH INACTIVE ELSEWHERE.
The British in the other districts in
South Africa continue Inactive.
Lord Methuen's $4,000 men remain be-
hind their works. General French's
1000 at Rensburg were reused Sunday
by a general alarm that the Beers were
attacking, but Il turned out that there
was no basis for this. General Gatacrc
is quiescent at CoIesberg.
The discomfort OF the colonial officers
and their disagreements with the regu-
lars are being inquired into by Lord
Roberts, who asserts that he will give
the CAPE colonials equal opportunities.
MORTALITY AT LADYSMITH.
At Ladysmith the deaths from eneric
fever and dysentery average ten day
Some fears are expressed that the gar.
rison may be so worn by privation, and
disease as to be unable to do much in
the way Of helping General Butler.

ANXIETY AT HIGH TENSION.

ANXIETY AT HIGH TENSION.
The special correspondents Sunday
night were allowed to send the an
nouncement that the battle would be
almost certainly resumed the following
day, and hence official and popular
anxiety is at high tension. The Brit
ish military experts all share the hopes
of their leaders and. as Spenser Will
kinson points out, they hesitate to say
word that might be interpreted as
unfavorable. Mr.. Wilkinson refers to
the cool Judgment of German and
Austrian critics." which means that
some of the best judges look upon Gen
eral Buffers enterprise as a forlorn
hope. as merely continual strain Of
fighting. which may prove too much for
the physical energy of the troops en-
gagged.
