while the fumes Of red fire are still in
the air one can see some remarkable re-
suits of the recent election. and not the
least OF these is the fact that Mr.. Bryan
was denied admittance TO every part of
the political temple, from the parIor to
the summer Kitchen, said Frederick Lam
dis. OF Logansport, at the Denison, last
night. Bryan lost his country, lost his
State, lost his township. lost his ward and
lost his precinct 1t is not for Bryan to
determine whether he will be the leader
of the Democratic party. 1t is rather for
him to determine whether he would rather
