Bryan Unhesltatinsly Denounees Ex
Presidents Policy.
Lincoln, Neb., June 2i.-The alb.
senoe of w. ]. Bryan from the Demo
cratic harmony dinner at New York
Is pretty well explained by a statement
given out by Mr.. Bryan last evening
commenting on the dinner At the out
set, Mr.. Bryan says there is no such
thing as Democratic harmony where
former President Cleveland Is con.
cerned. He says:
The banquet given on the evening
OF June 10 by the Tilden club of New
York city was advertised as a 'har-
mony meeting but it turned out to be
what might have been expected Of
ouch a gathering, an ovation to the
chief guest former Democrat, Grover
Cleveland. There can be no such
thing as harmony between men like
him and those who believe in Demo
cratic principles, and he is frank
enought to say so. He spent no time
looking for middle ground upon
which to- gather together discordant
elements. He boldly called upon the
members Of the party to abandon their
convictions and accept the construc-
ton which he placed upon Democratic
principles. He even tainted the party
with being sort of prodigal son and
invited it to give up its diet of husks
and return to its fathers house.

TIE Original Santa Claus

Was there ever such q charming
eing as Santa Claus, and if SO, why
does he load the little men and wo-
men of the world with presents on
Christmas day? The small folk be-
iieyo in him, and many of the big
ones have lurking suspicion that he
is not altogether myth.
The story Is Oriental, and the
events related in it happened centur-
les ago, but it IS always new, and all
the more intere sting because it gives
the origin of the custom which causes
the hearts of home cherubs to beat
with rapture, as they spring from
their warm beds when they hear the
early Christmas bells. and explore
the contents of their ridiculously
small stockings for horses and dogs,
