PERSONAL PARTIES.

Chicago hronicle-Wi1liam ]. Bry.
ans arrival and ostentatious reception
N Chicago are reminder that the
democratic party has for many years
been the Bryan party and that per-
sonal parties have not usually been
successful in this country.
The old Wing party was little more
than Clay party and 1t literally wore
itself out in trying to elect Henry Clay
president. It had become SO perfectly
identified with that great man that
when he failed it failed and when he
died it died.
The republican party for long
while sustained the same relation to
James G. Blaine, and the results were
nothing but disastrous both to Mr..
Blaine and to the party.
1t Is far cry from Henry Clay and
James G. Blaine to William j. Bryan
the lecturer and Snowman In respect
to intellect, craftsmanship and moral
character Mr.. Bryan is not worthy to
be spoken of in comparison with eth
er Henry Clay or Blaine. and yet the
whig party was not more the Clay
party nor the republican party the
Blaine party than the democratic par.
ty is now the Bryan party.
Bryan is now universally acknowl-
edged to be the only available demo
cratic candidate for the presidency
and his character and principles are
accepted as the party platform.
Clay led his party to defeat, Blaine
led his party to defeat and Bryan has
led his party to defeat twice and will
do it as often as he is candidate. 1t
is an interesting question why it is

mURDERoUsLY ASSAULTED.
The Chief ohicer Of an Atlantic Transport
Liner Severely Injured.

New York. March 22. "A story Of
narrowly averted tragedy on the high seas
was told when the Atlantic Transport Line
steamer Mesaba came in today from Lon
don. The steamer arrived with J. Doyle,
"a cattleman, under guard, charged with
having committed a murderous assault
upon Chief Officer Johnston of the steamer
Johnston has two severe wounds, which
Doyle is alleged to have inflicted with a
hatchci.
The alleged assault occurred ON the
morning of March 10Th The chief officer,
unamed, was taken by surprise by the
cattleman, who sprang upon him
and struck him twice with the
hatchet. Johnston managed 20 break
away from his assailant and, fleeing
to the cabin. sent two men TO place the
frenMcd cattlemen under restraint. He was
disamed aftera struggle and placed under
"a strong guard, which was maintained
until the steamer reached port. His guards
said today that he was extremely violent
and made constant attempts to escape
from confinement.
The only cause known for the assault
is that Johnston discovered a stOwaway
who was Doyle S friend, and forced him
| to leave the steamer just before it left
! London.

Councils Probable Deficit Con-
SideTed by Mayor Wilson and
the Finance Committee
This Morning.
TO OFFER LOAN ORDINANCE
1t VIII be Presented at To-
nights Meeting, But the
Amount VIII be Left Blank
for the Present.

Mayor Wilson and Messrs. White,
Simmons and McGoyern OF City Ccun-
ellis committee on finance held
meeting at the City Hall this morn
ing, for the purpose OF considering the
probable deficit of Council at the end
of the fiscal year and the means Tor
coping with this unpleasant situation,
as a result OF which it was decided to
offer an ordinance, at tonight's meet
ing OF Council, providing for tenn
porary loan from the banks. Inc
amount in the ordinance will be left
blank to be filed in before the next
meeting.
From present indications the deficit
will be between ESQ. coo and SlOO,00Ol
and some plan will have to be devised
to get that amount of money 70 main
tain the credit Of the scity. one
proposition is to provide, in the ordl-
nance to be introduced tonight, for
the whole amount, but as some OF the
members Of Council are opposed 10
this, only part OF the amount may oe
provided for at this time, probably
only so much as will be required Tor
April, in which event similar action
will be necessary with respect TO May
and June.
1t is estimated that at least S3s, COO
will be required 20 meet the ohliga-
tions falling due in April and prob
ably more than that sum. The exist
ing balance is about $40, eco and it IS
the intention TO offer a resolution to
settle for back taxes with the railway
companies on the basis Of an asae ss-
ment Of $4,000 mile instead OF
Sll, COO, the amount placed upon the
krf hn
figured out that " this arrangement
can be made the city will receive
Bbout $40 GOO thereifom. Some Of the
members of Council question the le.
gality Of this step, however, and it ID
not known whether it will pass. The
companies refused to pay on the
/ 5 ], 900 assessment, on the ground thai
they understood 1t wac to be 80, 600.
Should this money be forthcoming,
1 however, IL would increase the balance
/ from $4,000 to $50, eco hut az the
cbliqations will amount TO nearly
$50, 600. It will be necessary to pIovid'
for about $40, O00 in addition, hence
the temporary loan.
A close examination of the hsca
affairs of the city shows that the apr
expenditures will foot up ass 69l. GU
with no extraordinary expenditures, a
follows; Bonds falling due, $50 600
