Will Fight for Rights.


Those nurses and attendants who have
gone into the union, and they say more are
coming in daily, say that now that DR..
White has so completely thrown aside their
appeals for what they believe to be right
and just they will fight the matter out to
the bitter end, in the hope that those people
who are taking an interest in the care of
the insane will lend their aid toward bet
tering the conditions now said to exist at
the hospital.
1t is sincerely hoped by the attendants
that they will not have to strike to gain
bring grave complications at the hospital.
Several weeks ago every light In the
hospital went out and the whole. of this
large institution was enshrouded in total
darkness" said an attendant.
Every attendant was at his post beside
some poor lunaric whose peculiar delusion.
insanity and alteration were perfectly ia
miliar to him, whose knowledge was ac-
qured after long years of association. Some
Of the attendants have been at the asylum
for a quarter of a century. Think of the
condition of affairs which would surely
exist II whole new force of attendants
are put in this institution. The result
would be appalling in its consequences II
new men were placed over these thousands
of deranged men. 1t would be as II the fu-
ries were turned loose"
1t Is understood that those Of the nurses
who feel that they have been badly treated
by DR.. White will within a short while
make an appeal for his removal.

1t is characteristic of Mr.. Bryan's san
guine temperament that he does not yet
realize the change in the south, From all
I have heard here-and II Is pretty correct
informatfon-he still thinks that the south
ern delegates to st. Louis willi,be swayed
by his eloquenee. My own opinion would
be that this Is much more likely to happen
with some of the western delegations than
with the southern ones But Mr.. Bryan
thinks he knows the south, and he may be
right. Seemingly, in preparing for another
great convention speech, he makes no al
iowance for the change In circumstances.
His oratory was effective at Chicago In
ton were In full sympathy with him and
his ideas and his platform. He rode the
whiriwind better than Bland, who was a
very sincere man, without emotional char
acteristics. There was some good oratory
on the part of the minority but it counted
for nothing in the cyclone
Mr.. Bryan thinks that he Is greater
orator than Bourke Cochran, and many
people agree with him. Mr. Cochran was
very eloquent at Chicago in 1884 yet his
eloquence directed against Mr.. Cleveland 5
nomination was futile when addressed to
the combination of delegates which w. C.
Whitney had made. AT Chicago In 1892, in
that memorable night session, 1t was even
more powerful and torrential, again pro-
testing against Cleyeland's nomination but
1t was Tammany thunder wasted for no
votes were changed.
Recalling these incidents, asked one of
Mr.. Bryan's western admirers IL he thought
there really was any chance of breaking the
line which would surround Mr.. Bryan at
st. Louis. He answered that there was;
that Bryan would be laundering eloauence
for a principle, while on both occasions
Bourke Cochran had been merely yoicing
personal opposition to q candidate, He re-
minded me that the Tarnrnafiy orator had
argued only against Cleveland's supposed
