BRYAN ABUSED.
BY Senator's stewart and Daniel
in Hotel Lobby.
BECAUSE He THINKS

For Himself and Refuses to Sneeze
Whenever They Take Snuff.-The
Former, With Angry Words, Re-
fuses to Meet Mr.. Bryan, While
the Latter Rails at Him Because
He Does Not Do As He Wants Him.
One day last week William J..
Bryan was denounced by former Sen
ator William Stewart, Of Nevada, in
the Willard Hotel, New Nork. The
denunciation was spoken within ear
shot of the Nebraskan. 4 moment
later Senator John w. Daniel, of Vir-
ginia. declined point blank to attend
the dinner that night in his honor.
He accused Mr.. Bryan Of being die
tatorial and of taking his ideas from
outsiders.
Mr.. Bryan had been in the Willard
attending the meeting Of the asso-
citation which aims at publicity of
campaign contributions. AS he step
ped into the lobby, former Senator
Stewart was seated in one Of the
easy chairs. Senator Daniel, who IS
lame, was leaning on his crutchesi
near the desk.
Major J. A. Arnes, one OF the
promoters Of the Bryan dinner az
preached Nj. Stewart and said:
Senator, there is friend o.
yours. WhE don't you go over ald
speak to hinl?"
Friend of mine; friend of mine. :
spluttered the former Senator so
loudly that all could hear him. That
faker is no friend of mine. What is
the use of talking to him? He doesn {
amount to anything. He has run
twice and been defeated. You don't
bet on a horse that has been licked
twice, do you?'
This outburst seemed to upset Ma
ior Armes, tor he made no reply, out
walked over aud joined Senator Dan

Senator. won't you come to our
dinner tonight in honor OF Mr-
Brvan? We sent you tickets; oat

icallv. Il will not. I do not care
70 attend any dinner at which MI.
Brvan is the guest OF honor. thank

With that, Senator Daniel started
down the corridor. IN passing the
elevator he encountered Mr.. Bryan.
who was talking TO a group OF
friends. The two greeted each ON
or and stepped aside. There was a
short conversation in an unoertone
and then Senator Daniel lifted MS
