BRYAN Explaining.

In his Nebraska speech, the other
day, Mr.. Bryan unqualifiedly Endorsed
the Chicago and Kansas City platforms
as fully rejecting genuine democratic
doctrine. Every plank in those plat
forms, he affirmed. is sound and lvirile,
fully applicable to the situation to-
day. ,.f.n.- - ,r,,',r-.. d, -. 49,.

did some elaborate explaining and
tried to shift himself(to q less Bour-
bonic position, and yesterday, with
reference to the remark Of Williams,
the democratic leader of the house,
that silver Is q dead issue and Will not

an declared that in his Nebraska
speech he was not framing campaign

he did. He laid down his points with

democratic party hanging on the
utterances of his lips.
Yesterday he weakened somewhat

entitled my Fathers Boot:
The things we did when we were small
Impress lives the most Of all; a.#
The jokes and FRANKS we used to play
Return to from day to day
We oft recall the knocks and joys
That marked our days when we were boyg;
But ne'er thing impressed me more
Than the 'cowhide boot my father wore.

general, one commissary- general. one
inspector general, one surgeon general,
one Judge advocate general. one chief
of engineers, one chief signal officer.
one chief of ordnance, one chief record
and pension officer, and one chaplain.
Section 2. That each of said staff,
upon due appointment, as hereafter
provided, shall be commissioned. and
shall rank as and be a brigadier-gen-
eral.
Section 8. That, recognizing the
well known, worldwide military
knowledge and ability of G. C. Fulton,
he is hereby appointed and duly COM
missioned lieutenant-general of the

thority to appoint his full complement
of brigadier-generals of his staff, to

requisite military skill and ability.
Section 4. The army shall take
charge Of, and have exclusive jurisdic-
tion over, the field sports of such re-
gatta and of all the events scheduled
or to be scheduled thereon, as well as |
of the grounds thereof.
Section 5. The lieutenant general
shall have power, when, in his judg-
ment, any member of his staff shall
perform any act of heroism or gall
lantry upon the field, to promote such
officer to the rank Of major general"
