HEARST IS BRYAN'S CHOICE.
Texas Will Oppose Both and Try to
Keep Free silver
Down.

The COW that Kicked over q lamp in
Chicago years ago did not create any
more furor in that city than Bryan
has IN Texas politics by reason of his
appeal made at the recent dollar dim
ner in Nebraska to the patriotic hosts
to rally to the support of free silver
at the St. Louis convention, says an
Austin (TeX.) special to the Chicago
Chronicle.
Texas politicians and Texas con-
gressmen in general have been nurs-
ing the fond belief that this issue was
a dead one in Texas politics. Bryan
has some warm followers in Texas
and they will try and put TIE state
on record as favoring free silver
quite as much as an Endorsement of
him as for any other reason
AS to what effect, if any, this will
have upon th, presidential race in
that state no one at present seems in
cilned to predict. There is feeling
prevailing all over Texas that Hearst
is being backed by Bryan for p"esi
Dental honors and it is felt that a
free silver plank in the Texas plat
form means an instructed Hearst del,
egation to St. Louis. Both PROPOSE
ticns will be fought. The Texas con-
gressmen are not for Hearst by any
means. In fact, not single man in
the Texas delegation is favorable to
either Hearst or Bryan and they will
be at the Texas convention fighting
tooth and toenail to keep both Of
TLo
already in Texas at work among the
politicians, but with what success
cannot now be ascertained. Certain
it is that Bryan by his Nebraska
speech has opened up the racket in
| Texas much earlier than the Hearst
expected or desired.
Every effort will be made by the
Texas congressman and the leading
| politicians to send an uninstructed
| delegation to st. Louis.
Bryan by his action has precipi-
| tated the campaign weeks earlier than
| was expected and il IS predicted that
Hearst will be the chief loser thereby
| as the word has gone forth that he
| is Bryan's candidate and if elected
Will IDliON out Dry dI pUltttSS.

CATCHING COLD

There is no fact of medical science

their places at the long table. where
stood John Randolph. a notary. who
administered the oath of office to the

congratulations showered on Secretary
