BRYAN AND THE NOMINATION.

According to the Greensboro Tele-
gram the democrats of Greensboro
and Guilford county are arranging 10
give Mr. Bryan an opportunity to
make a keynote speech on the
subject CT state rights and the control
Of public service corporations. This
statement is made in reference to the
banquet that is to be given that gentle
man on October 10th on the occasion
OF his visit to that city during the
Guilford fair.
We thought Mr.. Bryan had already
sounded the keynote Of the democratic
campaign of 1908 in his Madison
Square Garden speech; but as that
did not take well with the people. the
position there taken or railroad own
ership by the government, We sup
pose, must be modified il a way to
suit the ideas of Mr.. Bryan's uppors
ers in the south and it is considered
that no better opportunity could offer
than an agricultural fair in a south
ern state.
Between now and the time of hold
ing the democratic national convention
Mr.. Bryan will be given a plenty OF
opportunities for changing the pitch
and tom of his political keynote, and,
no doubt he will avail himself of such
opportunities and at the meeting Of
that convention he will come forward
with the draft Of the platform which
he will insist on the party adopting
or he will not accept the nomination

mating faction in the party will bow
down before the mighty man of the

poses, or rather demands, and Mr..
Bryan will be nominated on a plat
form he has forced on a cringing set
politicians, and when the polls are
closed on election day he will find
himself more overwhelmingly defeat
ed than he was ON either of the former
occasions when he was the candidate

The ball games yesterday turned out
| expected. The general idea was that
the first game would be good and the
| second rather slow, but the opposite
was the fact. In the first game the
Hams were defeated by the Diamond
Heads by a score of 60, in a game
which spoiled by errors. Both sides hit
freely but the winners made only seven
hits while their opponents made twelve.
In the first inning the Hams made
three clean singles. but were unable to
get a man across the plate. While
Reuter- was hit harder than Leslie he
pitched a good game for ball and with
proper support should have won.
In the second game, which the Puns
lost to the Saints, 80, the whole ac-
count must be charged up to one man,
Lowrey, who started in at second base
for the Puns. He made two errors in
the third inning, which were RESPONSE
bic for three runs, the only TALES
which were scored till the ninth, when
the Puns managed to get in two. He
was taken out of the position and
placed in centerfeld, Kia coming in
to cover the bag.
Both teams put up clean fielding
game with this single exception, and
the contest was good one, though
there were few plays of the spectacular
order
