Tillman opened the Chautauqua

Tillman kept away from the negro

Cleveland with the walls of his wrath
He called the vast majority OF his

practically no applause, but some Of
his sallies caused a good deal Of
laughter. His closing words gave the

1 Bryan Is going to be nominated for

said Representative James M. Griggs
OF Georgia, chairman of the democra-
tic congressional committee, who was
in Washington yesterday. "His hold
on the party. not only In the west but
In the south and east, is such that no
other man could hope to secure the
nomination If he were willing to ac-
cept 1t. do not believe he will ac-
cept 1t unless he sees that 1t will be
for the best interests of the democra-
tic party and that he can be elected
where probably some other candidate
cannot be.

Culbertson, John Sharp Williams,
Senator Daniel and many others from
among those who have been in public

of the north. For many reasons. un
necessary to give now, am inclined

would be the most satisfactory can.

Claims He Saw Body.
1t was reported late last night to
the police station that the body of d
woman had been seen down below the
packing house. John Lewis, who re.
sides on Edwards street sent word
to Chief Gallagher that he saw what
appeared to be the body of woman
floating about 6 o'clock about forty
rods below the packing house sewer a
short distance from the river bank.
Mr.. Lewis. being unable to swim,
had followed the object for some dis
tance along the shore until he was sat
isf1ed it was corpse, and then pro-
cured a boat and pursued it. BY the
time he reached the scene, the body
was lost and although he followed the
river clear to Garrison Rock, no more
trace of it could be found. The alarm
came into the police station too late
for any action, as Mr.. Lewis was un.
able to send in word until after his re-
turn from the search. although addi-
tional warning We're sent to down river
points to watch the river closely.

INVADE DES MOINE
EFFORT OF BLUES
BISHOPS SOLDIERS CAPTURE A
4 BRIGADE OF THE BROWNS AND
SECURE A STRATEGIC ADvAN-
TAGE IN ENcAMPMENT BATTLE

3
National Guard encampment when
the Blues crossed the Corydon
bridge early this morning. This
was the opening of the battle
that will wage all day today and
tomorrow, the Blues seeking to
enter and capture Des Moines
and the Browns acting as the
citys defenders. In the skirmish
this morning the Browns lost
brigade, but, as this is mimic
warfare, the victory was gained
without bloodshed.
The Situation.
This is the situation. The Brown
army, encamped here under command
of Colonel Lincoln, and Of which the
Ottumwa company Is part, has the
responsibility of defending the city OF
Des Moines from investment and cap
ttre by the Blue army camped ct
Polk City. and under command OF Col.
onel Bishop. The Blue army wag CON,
pelled to pass Corydon bridge
( to carry out its cherished plaa
to capture Des Moines. 1t was up
to the Brown army to prevent it. That
is the military problem. in maneuver-
4 ing and strategy, which the armies
faced for solution today. For the pur
poses of these practical maneuvers
the Des Moines river is impossible
except at Corydon bridge, and pom
tacn bridges and fords are prohibited
and sad as it may be for East Des
Moines there is no East Des Moines
or Capitol hill. Theoretically, the only
way that the Blue armv could get into
attacking distance of Des Moines was
to cross Corydon bridge and invest It
from the northwest.
How il Will Come Out.
AS matter of fact. the people who
went up to Thousand Foot hill to
watch the maneuvers knew that it was
Il. the cards that the Blue army should
cross Corydon bridge and that by to
morrow night the Brown army will be
in full rout and retreat, pressed by
Colonel Bishop and his army. But that
outcome is necessary to get the army
now across the river into Camp Cum
mings on the Beaver tomorrow night
and Sunday preparatory to the re-
view
In achieving this general result the
Brown army may win more strategic
advantages than the Blue. In this sort
Of mimic warfare the orders Of the
chief umpire do the business. But in
carrying out the manenvers and opera
tions and solving the problems pres
ented .here there will be abundant
opportunity for each army to distin-
gllish itself for bravery and for ability
in scientific waging Of war;
Thus far the Blues have a strategic
advantage, but it may be overcome
by the Browns before the mimic bat
tie is over.
