The position chosen shows Colonel
Ingersoll standing erect in an easy

nut them into execution. When a man

COST OF THE THAW TRIAL

1t is said that more than three hun
dred thousand dollars have been eE-
pended by the 1haw family in the de-
Tense of Harry Thaw and this has ex-
hausted the ready cash. To raise funds
for the second trial the family has
been forced to call in some heavy
loans. This has resulted in the assign

the sacrifice sale Of a fashionable sum

had loaned money on mortgage and
the mortgaging of ~"Lyndhurst' the pa

BRYAN AND HEARST.

Congressman Livingston, OF GcOI-
gia, thinks it doubtful if Bryan would.
accept the nomination if Hearst takes
the field as the candidate Of tn. indie
would be especially strong against
Bryan, for he would draw from the
same element" that in the cities ne
would take nearly all the Nebraskan's
strength. Mr.. Livingston thinks Bry-
an realizes this fact and would thera-
fore, be unwilling TO enter the combat
against the New Yorker. He then SAYS
that if we are to win mex yea 1T
must be with a man who will draw
from the dissatisfied republican ele-
ment enough votes TO elect
The Charlotte Observers comment
on the above is that Hearst is already
a candidate-more distinctly, indeed
than Bryan. and that he would "dras ,
from the latter. by first intent. all thct
evil element of the great cities, which
would otherwise go to Mr.. Bryan; or,
failing TO draw them by natural attrac-
ton, would buy them" 1t declares
that Hearst would not expect 10 be
elected. but his purpose gould be to
defeat Bryan and then show his power
er oven the party.
And, still, you are not a good demo-
crat if you oppose Bryan's nomination
or doubt the certainty OF his election
il nominated.
