been delivering for ten years. The
freshness of it was in some references

word--which had an easy sfeSAdicance.
for the members tof the legislature,
who made up small fraction Of his
audience Mr. Bryan had somewhat
to say, for example, concerning the
sacredness and solemnity of platform
pledges. The man who accepted cleo

garded it's promises was an embezzler
of power and more to be reprobated
than he who embezzled money That.
brought forth shout from down on
the floor, while upon the rostrum came
radiance to the countenance Of Gov
ernor Campbell which suggested that
even if it had been given to him to
prompt, Mr.. Bryan could not have ut
tered words of greater power to graft
fly.
Frequently Mr.. BryaHhwas applauded
generously, but at no tirfe was there
such debacle of sound as marks the
hysteria of enthusiasm, which, though
is not to hint that the man who twice
has carried the banner of Democracy
CALAMITY to defeat has not during his
stay In Austin had abundant testimony
of the affection in which he is held.
Scarcely has there been a minute he
could not have been unmindful of 1t.
The. evening speech was the culmin-
atom of the holiday. The program
called for the meeting of the House
at o'clock, the joint session at $40
and the beginning of Mr. Bryan's
speech atS.30. BY o'clock there were
500 people in the galleries, and half
as many on the floor, for while admis-
sion was by ticket. there were more
tickets than seats, and therefore pre-
caution in being early. BY 8, when
Speaker Love, ascending his rostrum,
raped for order. there were no vacant
seats, either in the gallery or upon the
floor
A few minutes later stentorian
voice at the entrance exclaimed some
thing. Speaker Love; by the effort ris-
ing to his toes till the white waistcoat
showed beneath his black buttoned
frock coat, came down nightly with
his gavel and frightened the immense
audience into silence. Then he com
manded The doorkeeper will admit

Mr.. Davidson came in just behind
Governor Compbell. who marched up
the aisle to the left OF Mr.. Bryan.
There were. others to the rearwardr-

crowd clapped its hands whenit caught

was performed Monday after
noon, shortly after two O'Clock,

to the doors with the friends of
the charming bride and the pop
uIar bridegroom.
The fair young bride made a
most charming appearance in
her bridal robes. She was at
tended by Miss AmiIda Renou
det, bridesmaid, and Miss Rose
Glrard as maid of honor. Lit
tie Miss Ada Renoudet bore
the bridal bouquet and Mss
Odette GonsouIIn the ring.

1t appears that the Inter
coastal Canal project is not so
dead as was thought when the
report was sent here from
Washington that the Board OF
Army Engineers hadreported un-
favorably.
One of these parts and the
one that the Army Beard finds
as the most feasible is the dig
ging of a canal from Grand
Lake through Donaldsonville
to the Mississippi. If this is
carried out it will make the
route shorter to New Orleans
than ever, even if we dig our
own canal from the Teche to
