BRYAN WILL STUMP
FOR DEMOCRATS
1t is Thought He VIII Do
Much Good in Some
Western States.

New York, Aug, 31.-Secre-
tary Urey Woodson of the Demo
cratic National Committee has
received a letter from William J.
Bryan, in which. Mr.. Bryan says
he will be at the disposal of the
Democratic Committee for cam
paign purposes during the month
of October. Mr.. Bryan indicates
that he would prefer speaking in
the West, mostly in Indiana.
Chairman Taggart says that
the committee has not yet taken
up the subject of Mr.. Bryan's
itinerary and it is not known yet
whether he will speak in the
Eastern states.
Satisfaction was expressed at
national headquarters regarding
the offer of Mr.. Bryan to aid in
the campaign, as there has been
considerable talk about the a.
pathy of some of the most ardent
Bryan men and fear has been ex-
pressed that they would vote for
Watson. A story was current
today that the Popu1ists, togeth.
er with radical Democrats and
the remnants of the Henry
George Democracy, were not
only going to put up Watson
electors in New York, but that
they would also put up a state
ticket, congressional tickets and
legislative tickets as far as they
were able to do so by petitions.
Democratic leaders believe
that Mr.. Bryan's appearance on
the stump, have a tendency to
hold his warm supporters in line
for the regular ticket.

COURT OF INQUIRY

Were to Be Had at
'Statesboro.

Statesboro, Ca, Aug. 31.-In-
terest in the investigation by
the court Of inquiry yesterday
has not died out with the depar-
ture of the court. It is admitted
that the court was composed of
able and fearless officers. Moth
ing could be more firmly estab-
llshed than the fact that it was
not in the whitewashing bust
ness. If the truth was not learn
ed, the fault can not be charged
to the court of inquiry.
One striking feature of the in
qulry was the promptness with
which the testimony was given
by the members of the Statesbo-
no Guards. They did not hest
tate to give the names of the
civilians who took their guns
from them, nor anything pertain
ing to the conduct of the mill
tary. The explanation of Sergt,
John Paul Jones as to why he
said in his message to Gov.
Terrell that all the soldiers were
captured except himself was in.
teresting. 1t was brought out
by Col. Wooten that Jones said
the mob had captured about half
the soldiers and some of the
officers.
The men who admitted they
were in the mob are being com
plimented for their honesty, as
are those who did not hesitate tc
say they knew others who were
participants.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat

is as full of evil omen because it seeks
to avenge an infamous crime by the
commission of another of equal in

this horrible sentence really expresses
the honest views of the President.

intention was to say something mali
cious about the 'South-somethng that
would shock the sensibilities of the peo-
pie of this section who are confront
ed with the danger of the negro's bes-

to assume that the words of the Pres

were not the honest eXpr ession of his
views. To believe the words are hon
est is impossible
The Galveston Daily News (Dem.)
says: There is something like fun of
the first class in the emphatic asser-
tions of President Roosevelt anent his
steadiness and certainty on the money
question and on other important pub
lie questions. The News has shown that
he was three yeasr ago personally
in favor of revision of the tariff and
said so in a public speech; that a year
later he stood for revision. to be
recommended by a. commission; that
to-day he is a 'standpatter' with both
feet. 1t may be added without injus-
tice that he has never said one word
which would indicate even in ordinary
understanding Of the tariff problem.
His variableness on the civil service
policy is known of all men. Even in
hsi policy OF turning the rascals out
of the postal service he fires a Beavers
