BRYAN HEARD FROM.
Long Delayed Letter Of Apology
Reaches Tilden Club.

New York. July 1S.-William Jennings
Bryan's long delayed letter of apology
to the Tflden club of this city has been
received by the secretary of the club.
The letter purports to explain Mr..
Bryan's public declaration that he had
received no invitation to attend the op-
ening of the club house on June Is.
when former President Cleveland, David
B. Hill and other distinguished Demo
Gratis were present, but it goes a long
way beyond that. 1t marks more sharp

Democrats who are followers OF Mr..
Bryan and those who are not than any

tion-h brought upon the party-an

respect for Democratic principle and
policies, do not understand why he
should be honored guest at po-
Htical dinner given by Democratic
club.
Having thrown his influence to the Re-
publican party in two campaigns, he IL
hardly in a position to advise the party
which he abapdoned. or, as he expressed
1t, which banished him. I am anxious to
see the party grow in numbers and in
strength, but 1t Is absurd to expect this
result to follow attempt the part
of deserters to turn the party over to the
control of those who find the society Of
Republicans more congenial than the So
ciety of those who believe in the plat
forms adopted in 1896 and 1900.
Through the oversight of clerk In my
office did not see the invitation sent by
your club and did not know until last
Wednesday that one had been received.
On that day received a telegram from
my secretary. addressed to me at Aber-
deem, 8. D., saying such communication
had been found.
regret exceedingly that it did not come
to me before the time, for. while would
not have thought proper to accept,
would have acknowledged the courtesy
and given my reasons for declining.
Harmony is only possible between those
who desire the triumph of the same prfn-
ciples and politics. 1t is quite evident
that Mr.. CIeveland's supporters are nearer
to the Republican party than to the DEM
ocratic party. Yours truly,

men in all. The queer feature of the
strike is that the men simply demanded
that their gang foreman pay them 81
instead of S1.25 day, and when he re-
fused to do so, they quit.
Superintendent Mcclellan says that no
formal demand has been made on the
road for an increase and that $1-25 is
the regular price paid to section hands.
The places of the strikers are being
filled, and the rOadbed is in good condi-

in summer when the mines shut down.
