Omaha, Feb. 5.-Newsdealers are
somewhat wrought up over the fact
that they are not permitted to buy cop
les of Bryan's Commoner at the publica-
tion Office on the same terms accorded
to the Western News Company. Mr.
Bryan sells to the latter company a day
ahead of sales to other patrons and the
little dealers are forced to pay the COM
pany cents copy for the Commoner,
while IT is furnished to the news com
pany at a lower rate, thus giving the
latter a monopoly of the business. If
the dealers do not wish to buy of this
concern they may send to Lincoln, but
they must pay the same prices Conse-
