fcations for the office. Mr.. Wilcox
has numerous good points in his
favor, but he is unfortunately ham
pered by conditions which will make
it impossible for him to act as an

can cast his vote for Wilcox, who as
delegate would be a nonentity

Washington, enjoyed by Moreno,
Sam Parker is very popular among

Reception at Lincoln.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. An a demon
stration that more than matched that
accorded Colonel Roosevelt on Wednes-
day, Nebraska Democrats and Popu-
lists Thursday showed their fealty to
Mr.. Bryan.
The attractions offered were ex-Gov-
ernor Hogg of Texas and Senator Well
ington of Maryland. Senator yelling
toms train was late, and he failed to
arrive until long after the parade. Five
thousand persons waited for MIN 10 ap-
pear, and when he did they gave him a
royal greeting. The speechmaking was
preceded by a long parade through the
principal streets of the city.
Two thousand men, all of them from
Lancaster county, marched through
streets almost as densely crowded as
Wednesday to the accompaniment of
incessant cheering and frantic waving
of flags.
The parade was reviewed by distin-
guished members of the party at the
capitol grounds. Governor Hogg re-
ceived many hearty greetings He de-
voted a portion of his speech to crltI-
cisn of Theodore Roosevelt, whom he
declared a belittler of the volunteers,
whose votes he is now seeking through
fuIsome f1attery," and quoted his views
on the necessity of a property qualihca-
ton for voters.
Senator Wellington, however. made
the deepest impression. He said he came
as an Abraham Lincoln KepuDlcan 10

the nominee of the present-day Demo-
cratic party. This declaration was fol-
lowed by applause that lasted full

BRYAN IN GOTHAM.
VIII View Parade of 100000
With 134 Bands in Procession.

Washington, D C., Oct. 4.-When Mr..
Bryan comes to New York on the 18th
inst he will meet with a very different
reception from that which he exper-
fenced in 1886, when he first invaded
the enemy's country and addressed
such a chilling audience at Madison
Square Garden. On that occasion Bank
er st. John, Brisben Walker, editor OF
the Cosmopolitan Magazine; Represent
alive Sulzer and one or two others were
the only friends he had in the Ameri-
can metropolis He distrusted the com
nittee that had charge of his campaign
and believed that his failure to make an
impression was entirely due to his weak
ness in adopting their advice. They told
him that he must be very moderate in
his expressions on the silver question
and subjects relating to labor and CAPT
tai, and required him to prepare his
speechin advance and submit the manu-
script for their revision before they
would allow him to speak He complied
with all their conditions, and when he
arose upon the platform he faced an
audience Of 10000 people in the largest
auditorium in the world. Before he had
finished reading the first page of his
manuscript people started to leave the
hall, and a constant stream from the
floor and gallery continued until not
more than ? 600 or 900 faithful hearers
remained about the platform when he
had finished. It is true that the weather
was Warm-the temperature in the hall
was somewhere near 100 degrees-but the
audience was cold enough to freeze out
any speaker. The next day Mr.. Bryan
spent N a Respondent state of mind at
the residence of Banker st. John, where
he received comparatively little atten-
ton. and a few days later John Brisben
Walker took him into the country to
recuperate.
When Mr.. Bryan appears at Madison
Square Garden this year he will be es-
corted by a procession of 100 600 men
under the personal direction of the Dem
Dcratic boss who went to Europe in 1896
to avoid meeting him. Democratic clubs
viii be brought from all the towns and
cities within three hours ride by rail-
road of New York; one hundred and
thirty-four bands have already been en-
gagged to furnish music, and, according
to the stories they tell at the Demo-
cratic headquarters contracts have been
entered into for $4,000 worth of fire
works and searchlights will be placed
at intervals along Fourth avenue and
Fifth avenue so that the night will be
turned into day. No committee dare
propose a revision of his speech this
year; he viii not be compelled to seek
the shelter OF the house OF a friend, and
a thousand eager men VIII be waiting
upon him for every one that sought his
presence in 1896.

NO PEACE IN SIGHT.
Yaqui Commissioners Return From

between the five Yaqui Indian emissar-
les and President Diaz, for the settle

the Yaquis and the Mexican government
have failed to accomplish anything, and
the peace ENJOYS have arrived here on
their way home from the City of Mex
leo They report that President Diaz re-
fused to consider their proposal for
peace, as he looked upon it as granting
too many concessions to the Indians.
These ernissaries belong to the peace
faction of the tribe and they hope to
secure modification of the original pro

Mexican authorities and bring about a
termination of the disastrous war
Fighting still continues, and the govern
ment troops seem to be making slow but
steady advances into the Indian coun-

M'KNIGHT WINS.
Contest Board Decides He is
Nominee For State Senator.

G. w. Mcknight has won the contest
for the Republican senatorial nomina-
ton in the Twenty-first district.
Following are the findings of the
board:
First-That the objection to the nomi-
nation papers fled by G. w Mcknight
are not wen taken
second-That the objections to the
nomination papers filed by Cary e. Car
roll are well taken.
Conclusions-That the name of G.. w
Mcknight should appear on the official
ballot as the Republican candidate for
senator from the Twenty first district,
and the name of Cary E. Carroll should
not appear thereon.
The decision is signed by Attorney
General GODDARD and Auditor Cole.
This is a great surprise to the Car
roll supporters, but it is no more of a
surprise than the decision of the board
in the Hessin- Mcknight contest which
declared that neither had been legally
nominated.
This is apparently a case where an
effort was made to make two wrongs
equal one right.
The contest viii now be taken to the
supreme court.

BRYAN SUSTAINED.
Jacksonville Lady Denies That She
Said He Had Accepted a Bride.


Jacksonville. ILL.,, Oct. An making
the charge that w. J. Bryan had re-
ceived $4,000 for insisting upon the
passage of the silver plank in the Kan
sas City platform, Cyrus NJ. Kingman
of Peoria, ILL.,, declared that young
woman of this city who had visited at
MT. Bryan'S home this summer mad told
him that representatives of the silver
interests of Colorado offered Mr.. Bryan
$3.50, 600 if he would refuse to accept any
nomination on other than a free silver
platform, and had further asserted that
Mr.. Bryan had accepted the offer.
The young woman referred to is Miss
Lulu D. Hay, daughter of A. L. Hay, a
well-known real estate dealer. She and
Miss Bryan, a sister of the Democratic
candidate. who is now Mrs. Allen, We're
intimate friends while Miss Bryan was
a student at the Academy for Young
Women here. In the latter part of last
June Miss Hay went to Lincoln, Neb.,
to visit Mrs. Allen and the friends, and
was there when the Kansas City con-
vention was held.
Miss Hay was seen at her home here
this morning and the article sent out
from Peoria was read to her. The pur-
port of the article, as published, she
unhesitatingly pronounced false She
declared that Mrs. Allen is not the pri-
vate secretary of her brother and Mr..
Kingman does not know her nor her
family connections.
August 80 she says, she was coming
ner," leaving Chicago at o'clock. A
man came in and, as other seats were
occupied, he took the one beside her.
They found in talking that they had
mutual friend and in conversation which
followed they talked of various things,
Including her visit to Lincoln and the
Lake region, and she says she told him
of some of the political talk in Lincoln
while she was there
Among this gossip were statements
coming to her wholly from Republican
sources in Lincoln, including the State
Journal Of that city, that three men
from some of the western states, who
stopped off there to see Mr. Bryan on
their way to the Kansas City conven-
tion, had stated to Mr.. Bryan that if
he would stand out for and procure a
silver plank in the platform each of the
three would contribute $4,000 to the
Democratic campaign fund. She asserts
most emphatically that she never heard
anything, never knew anything and
never told Mr.. Kingnan anything con-
corning the matter except as political
gossip coming to her wholly and exclu-
sively from Republican sources in Line
oln and that she did not even tell him
that in the manner stated in the article
read to her
She asserts that the nearest she came
to talking on anything about politics
with any Of the organs while in Lincoln

ATTACKED BY A LION.
q Butcher Enters the Cage and is
Nearly Killed.

Paris, Oct. 4.-There was a serious ac-
cident in the menagerie of a county fair
near Privas in the department Ardeche.
A large audience gathered to witness a
local butcher enter the lions cage, play
a game of cards with the lion tanner and
drink a bottle of champag ne. The per-
Torrance was successful until the
butcher foolishly and without warming
the trainer approached the lion and held
a glass of champagne under his nose
whereupon the lion bounded upon the
butcher, ground his shoulder with his
jaw and mauled his body dreadfully
When the butcher was removed he was
almost dead. In the meanwhile the
audience was panic stricken and in the
stampede to escape from the menagerie
many persons were trampled upon and
badly injured
