Forst Scott, Kan Sept. 1S.-William
j. Bryan arrived here ut $50 a. IN. He
was entertained at breakfast by Mayor
GoodIander at the Goodlander Hotel.
The first meeting of the day was to
have begun at 10 o'clock and the hail
which holds 5000 persons, was filled
before O'Clock. 1t had been expected
that the only speech would be made in
the hall, but it was found necessary to
noid the meeting i'll the public square
III order to accommodate the crowd,
Ar. Bryan contented himself with sug-
seStiig points FOR argument to his fol-
lowers.
\ GREAT CROWD.
Later. in the park, he spoke from the
ball stand. His audience there includ-
Ell 4 number of people from Indian
territory and Missouri, as we'll as from
the neiehboring towns of this State.
owing to the dense crowd Mr.. Bryan
found it impossible 10 mount the
speakers stand. He. therefore. had his
carriage stopped in the midst OF the
box.

the Republicans received his first at
tention and he commended. as usual that

with a well supplied table.

mo party" he argued. had any
claim upon 4 citizen except as Il means
of promoting his welfare. and no man
was bound to support any party which
WAS not true to the interests of the
people. The Republican party has, he
asserted, manifested no concern for the
welfare of the masses, hence 1t had
| forfeited all claim upon their support.
In substantiation of this statement lie
instanced what he designated as the
Republican partially for the trusts.
which We're, he said. as private monOp-
olies, entirely in the interests of the
few, and opposed 10 the interests of the
many.
INCREASE IN THE ARMY.
The increase in the army, Mr..
Bryan declared, was one OF the facts
going TO show that the Republican
party WAS not the party of the people.
Accounting for the increase OF hhc size
of the army. he said that perhaps it
was intended to meet such emergencies
as that which had arisen in the anthra-
cite coal regions. The only domestic
reason for increasing the army was to
suppress by force. that discomfort
among the people which should be
cured by Legislation.
NORTH CAROLINA AGAIN
While he wa, discussing the colonial
policy Of the government some one
asked Mr. Bryan about North Caro-
lima and the race question in that
State. IT am glad you mentioned

GALA DAY ATTIRE
National Capital Celebrates Its
Natal Day.
WAS A WEALTH OF BRIGHT Olops
Washington Bedecked as Seldom Before
Ceremonies Are Imposing
President A Figure in
Elaborate Exercises.

A Washington Dec. 10 dispatch says:
With imposing ceremonies the national
capital today celebrated the centen-
NAL anniversary of the founding of
the seat OF the federal government in
Washington. The exercises combined
a brilliant military parade, a review
by the president from the east front of
the capitol and orations in the hall of
the house of representatives, where a
brilliant audience was assembled. By
act of congress the day was made a
national holiday in the District of
Columbia, the government departments
were closed, business was suspended
and the whole city gave itself over to
celebrating the capitals natal day.
President Mckinley and the mem
bers of his cabinet took a prominent
part in the exercises, and with them
were the chief executives of a large
number of the states and territories,
the senator's and representatives in
congress, the judiciary of the United
States supreme court, the ambassadors
and ministers from foreign courts, the
heads of the army and navy and a
great outpouring of the people. AL
though Washington is the scene of
many celebrations it is seldom that one
occurs there of greater brilliance in its
outdoor feature or more impressive
ness in its ceremonial exercises at the
capital and at the white house.
