IS PROMPTED BY FEAR
MIR. BRYANs VIEW OF HENDER-
SONS WITHDRAWAL.
Editor of The Commoner Thinks the
Republican Leaders are Show
ing signs OF Being Panic
Stricken.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept 25.-Hon. W. j..
Bryan. In this weeks Commoner, takes
the view that Speaker Henderson's with
drawal was prompted by fear OF defeat.
NY. Bryan says in part:
Speaker Henderson's withdrawal from
the Congressional race furnishes the most
Sensational feature of the campaign. His
DISTRICT having an overwhelming Re-
publican majority. his election seemed
assured. notwithstanding the activity CT
the Democrats and the desertion Of some
Republican,. supposed to be compare
lively few. II must have required some
powerful cause to force withdrawal
under such circumstances. What was
the cause2
"In his letter he gives but one-namely.
tina the finds many Republicans In his
district In favor Of putting trust-made
articles on the free list as a remedy for
private monopolies, and as he IL opposed
to that remedy he declares that he per-
ferred to retire TO private life rather than
strike such a blow at the system OF pro-
lection. IT Ia only fair to assume that
the Republican detection in his district Is
so serious as to make him believe his
election impossible. for on no other theory
would be he justified, even according to
his own logic In refusing to make the
tight.
'Tf he believes. as he evidently does
that the Nations prosperity depends upon
maintaining q high tariff wall. then It
was his duty to fight for its preserva1
ton.
ut must be remembered. too, that the
action was taken without consulting those
who share with him the responsibilities
of Ieadership-taken on the very day
when the President and the Republican
leaders In the Senate-Hanna, Aldrtch.
Spooner, Allison and Lodge--met at
Oyster Bay and decided to ignore the
tariff question in the present campaign.
No wonder the Republicans are panic
stricken. Some say that Mr.. Henderson,
finding that he could not conscientiously
represent his constituents on that Dues
ton, withdrew as q matter OF honor but
how could Mr.. Henderson ascertain be-
fore election the views Of his constitu-
ents7
Mr.. Henderson has put his party In a
position where 1t must condemn him In
order to save the party"
Mr.. Bryan then proceeds with an elabo-
rate argument in favor Of free trade on
trust-made articles. and concludes with
the declaration that the Democrats have
a great opportunity and should improve

A SILENT PATIENT.
Man Suffering from Malaria Fails to
Respond in ANY Tongue.


New York. Sept. 25.-Physicians at
Bellevue Hospital and officials Of the out
door department are greatly mystified
over the conduct of a man who was
taken to the hospital on Labor Day. suf-
fering from malaria. He has not spoken
a word since arriving there.
1t was assumed the patient was a for
eigner and effort was made to hit upon
some language he could understand. one
after another was tried without success
Fifteen different tongues were turned on
him without effect. Finally the sign
language Of deaf mutes was brought into
play, but the man evidently understood
what was being done and merely shook
his head.
Efforts are being made to find Koreans
and Esauimaux in the hope of getting him
to talk to them, as nearly everything else
has been tried. Evidently the man Is a
recent arrival in the country and how he
got past the immigration officers Is
mystery.
