go, he is a rich man. He has made every dollar of his fortune out of pol- tics as a stepping stone to the lecture
 platform, MT. Bryan discovered many years ago that he could make his po- litieal prominence pay. He is a shrewd advertiser, and in his way, a clever business man. He has discovered that So long as he is candidate for president, and possible nominee, gifted with the ability to weave flowing sentences into Well-rounded periods, the public will come to hear him at so much a head. He is in politics because it helps the gate receipts. Like the actresses who have discarded the stolen diamond dodge for the greater publicity of a divorce suit. MT. Bryan will quit run ming for president and will quit politics just as soon as he discovers that some other form of advertising will bring more dollars to the box office when he is announced to appear on the stage.

AT THE HYPERION.
ARMS AND THE MAN" l"


 Bernard shaw's Arms and the Man" with Arnold Daly and an exquisitely balanced company appeared at the Hyperion last evening and will be re- peated this evening, for which heaven be thanked.
 The said thanks are given because it is a tonic for all human ills to culver with the ripping wit and cleverly con- trasted situations and characters of Shaw. And MT, Shaw must thank his and all the other stars that he has such an interpreter as MT. Daily.
 The plot Is of cool, matter of fact Swiss soldier, who is saved by his che mics, and, after the war comes back as keen contrast to the pomposity and braggadocio of the others. Beneath the sprightly wit, merry as the bubbles in Extra Dry, there is a serious genius in the creator of characters that are more than comic garbs carrying slap sticks. They are real, lovable, actual people; real as Arthur Pendennis; l laughable as Tartarin de Tarascon. Nor is the wit superficial ornament, but a part, an outgrowth of the whole, mas terful play
 Arms and the Man is certainly as clever, as witty, as "you never can---- clever, as witty as You Never Can | Tell" perhaps more so. Indeep it is absolutely no superlative to class 1t with four or five other plays, for ex- Am ,oIa ttTIa piNyo 1e os o,,n of thn writ L. tiest plays in English. Indeed "The Rivals" drags miserable, as fo rin- stance when Julia's lover languishes and Mrs. Malaprop's epithets become | tiresome. Neither is Sherldal original but cribs generously from Congreve Wherefore "Arms and the Ban must he classed with oscar Wilde's at his moment of Chestetrtonian paradoxes. we are fortunate to have this play for two nights.
 The play is we'll set, like all of Mir Daly's productions. The sight of Miss Crytai Hearnes' slender and exquisite prettiness againt the backgroun of Bull garian mountains, was better than the veriest Gainsborough.
 Miss Hearne is as capable as she is pretty. Indeed, with the whole com pany, as one expects from Daly. each part is the star role, while that part is lon" John Findlay, the Utopian waiter of You Never Can Tell'' is again a waiter. Dockson Mitchell is well cast in the pompous empty-mind- ed old officer. Miss Bourne and Miss Urquhart have a most Bulgarian ap- pearance and manner MT Baume is a thoroughly good Sergius.
 As to the acting of Mir. Daly-well Arnold Daly is Arnold Daily For which, again, heaven be thanked.

"The situation at issue, namely, MT. Bryan's desire that l resign from the national committee, was presented to the convention in plain terms. The roll call was 1,03S against MT, Bryan's reouest to 57O for it., This result throws a little more light on Mr. Bryans sim cerity when he talks about "asphyx- iation." This result ought to be, I think, in the view of any sober-mind- ed person. enough to settle MT. Bryan's issue as to me. He seems not willing to accept it.
 ITO test MT. Bryan's boasted sim cerity q little, I challenge to this: If hold my position on the democratic r1a- tional committee by fraud, I ought to resign. If Mir. Bryan has falsely ac- cused me of profiting by fraud, then he fought to quit running for president, because no man is fit to be candidate for that high office who goes out in public and lies about any member of his party. Therefore l propose that MT. Bryan and I put the issue as be- | tween us LID to the men who sat as del- egates in the Springfield convention of two years ago. Those delegates are still living In Illinois; they can all be found. Mir. Bryan said that major ity of them were opposed to me for national committeeman; he has said that he had at St. Louis letters from more than half of those delegates in which they repudiated the action of the convention which resulted in my be- coming national committeeman. Let us poll those delegates. Let us have this poll made under the direction of the chief justice of the supreme court of Illinois. If the majority of those delegates will support MT. Bryan's present contention and will say that was elected to the national committee by fraud, then I will resign from the national committee, On the othel 1 hand-and this I contend is but a fail proposition--if the majority of thost delegates of two years ago do not sup port MT. Bryan's allegation of fraud then will insist that Mr. Bryan shal announce that he will no longer by { candidate for the presidency at thu hands of the democratic party. Th' American people believe in fair play Call the roll.'

 itics, and that his sincerity, therefore, compels him to oppose my participation in democratic affairs. The plain infer .ence is that MT, Bryan thinks 1t wrong to make money out of politics. This boast of his puts the stamp of insincer- ity all over him. If MT Bryan thinks it wrong to make money out of politics he should quit making money. MT. Bryan has not one dollar that he ever made out of anything but politics. He tried to be a lawyer; he was a failure at it. He tried to be newspaper ed itor; he was failure at that.
