UTTERING A VITAL PLEDGE.

Mr. Bryan was pale with the excitement
of the moment, He seemed to feel that
he was uttering a pledge upon which
the whole campaign for control of the
government would hinge. Again the COM
mittees rose to their feet and shouted
their approval, while the multitude cheer
ed again and again. Then Mr.. Bryan
added a new phrase to the permanent
political literature Of the world, the
phrase was aimed directly at the heart
of McKinleyism.
Destiny he said, els the subterfuge
of the invertebate, who, hacking the
courage to oppose error seeks s,k3,
plausible excuse for supporting it,
Finally he laid aside his manuscript
and passed into the beautiful peroration
of his speech. He seemed like an in
spired man as he stood with uplifted
face and outstretched hands describing
a noble republic founded upon justice.
1t would be hard to imagine a nobler
scene.
The great crowd became suddenly still
The voice of the leader changed with
his words. His eyes shOne with the en-
thusiasm of his lofty utterances. And
when he ceased there was a moment
of absolute silence, followed by a pro-
longed shout from his hearers.
Then came the speech of notification
ito Mr.. Stevenson by Governor Thomas,
of Colorado. who was vigorously APP
plauded. Mr.. Stevenson's reply was read
from manuscript. He had to pause from
time to time to change his eyeglasses,
which became moist from perspiration,
which somewhat marred the effect of his
delivery but his voice was clear and
he made his points tell. Mr.. Stevenson
was enthusiastically applauded from be-
ginning ito end. When the ceremonies
were over the Democratic leaders said
that Mr.. Bryan had made it impossible
for the Republicans ito escape from the
issue of Imperialism.
1T was a great Speech" said Chair
man Jones, land it makes the para
mount issue of this campaign unavcid-
able Mr.. Bryan made several other
speeches here tonight to large audiences.
The streets of Indianapolis are illumi-
mated in his homer. Fireworks are trail
ing against the skies, and glittering
professions are marching Through the
thoroughfares. Tomorrow he goes with
Mrs. Bryan to Chicago, where he will
spend week in consultation with the
National committee.
Tonight he is a hero of Indiana.

Tax law, expressed the belief recently, how
ever, that the Republican leaders of New-York
would not seek to nominate any Republican of
New-York for Vice-President. He said on this
point:
The Republican nomination for vice-President
may, with the acquiescence of the New-York
leaders, go to Nebraska or some Western State
There such nomination might be consider
able check upon Organism What does New
York want of a nomination for Vice President
in 1900? What would be the benefit to the Re-
publican party in this State of such nomna-
ton? Would it not shut out the Republicans Of
this State of the chance of some New-YerI man
being nominated Tor President in 1904?
Then the Senate contains man who may be
nominated for Lieutenant Governor this fall,
namely, Senator Frank W. Higgins, of Olean.
Mr.. Higgins has been chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee for several years. and has
gained thorough acquaintance with the States
affairs Besides, he has managed to improve
the financial administration of the State and
to keep down the spirit of extravaganza in the
Legislature. Every State department in 1899
had TO live within its means; it could not incur
debts Mr. Higgins is entitled to great credit
for this reform, and he is highly esteemed by
the people of the interior of the State acquaint-
ed with his faithful services to the State. 1t
may be well to say that Senator Higgins says
that he is not candidate for the nomination
for Lieutenant Governor and that he intends
to devote himself to the management of his
large business affairs-but his friends in West
eTn NewYork are nevertheless going to press
him for the nomination.
ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE.
The Democratic minority has its leader
Senator Thomas F. Grady. of Tammany Hall.
He came to Albany an Assemblyman in 1877
and has been here frequently ever since, either
as Senator or Assemblyman. In 1884
Governor Cleveland wrote letter to John Kelly
asking him for his (Cleveland'sl personal COM
fort not to send Senator Grady back to AL
bany. This letter greatly offended Mr.. Kelly,
and also Senator Grady, naturally, and was
one of the reasons which led Mr. Kelly to OPP
pose Cleveland's nomination for President.

lights in Senator Grady's nimble political wit
and good humor at all times Just before the
Senate adjourned in 1899, Governor Roosevelt

RevoIution IN Automoblles,

A new automobile has been invented
by Russian named Hutal Serky. He
has discovered a new system of loco
motion based on the use of certain
kind of salt, the composition of which
is as yet his secret. Two pounds OF
this salt placed in the box of the au-
tomobile and subjected to a certain
heat forms gas which puts a cylinder
in movement. The automobiles that
were tried in Moscow produced the
best results. The emperor of Russia,
who takes great interest in this inven-
ton, intends to send Serky to Paris
to make known his secret. The Rus
sian press is of the opinion that it will
cause a great revolution in the trade.
