The old soldiers think Hattiesburg
is the best city in the state for the
reunion. Here we have the real
thing-that is the bitches and breast
works that remind them so much of
the days of the war except that the
bitches are In the heart of the city
and deeper and broader than those
dug during the war. But still they
are great reminders and the old SOL
diers cannot help from viewing them
with considerable interest-but
everybody does who sees them.

BRYAN's BEE STILL BUZZING.

About one thing there is no uncer-
taInty whatever, and that is that Mr..
Bryan wants to fight this third bat
tie for the presidency, and that he
will be out for the democratic nOmi-
nation year from next spring, if in
his judgment there is the slightest
show of success. / have not seen Mr..
Bryan since / came to Lincoln, but
two or three of his closest friends
with whom I have talked agree that
this is the attitude. Unless it is very
clear that his nomination is absolute
~ impossible Mr.. Bryan will be in
the race as usual.
Mr.. Bryan's friends had been led
to believe that he would not again
seek the presidency, but their eyes
were opened at the meeting of the
democratic and populistic state con-
ventions at Grand Island. There was
some doubt as to whether fusion
could be effected. and former Senator
Allen, Mr.. Bryan's spokesman,
pleaded for fusion upon the ground
that only by keeping up the alliance
between the two parties in this state
could Mr.. Bryan win his third nomi-
nation in 1904. This argument was
used publicly and without any effort
at concealment.
Mr.. Bryan himself was in attend
ance upon the conventions, and he
pledged for fusion, though, of course,
without declaring that he wanted it
to help HIM toward the presidency
in 1904. He was aware, however. Of
