Questions that Mr.. Bryan Chooses to Ignore

into congress in the early eos Why did you not get
your fusion friends to enact the bill state law when
they we're in complete control of Nebraska? deposit
guaranty BILL which you endorsed was offered in con-
gress winter substitute the Vreeland BILL but
only handful of the democratic congressman voted for
it, the remaining others voting against refusing to
vote The only democratic congressman from Nebraska
of those who refused to vote. If your endorse
ment of that bill was unable these democratic
congressman for 1t last winter will be able to
make them vote for it next winter?
6. You. Mr.. Bryan. trying to make much Of the
popular United We have the
statement of Mr.. Tibbes made three years ago that
large of money, said to be $4,000 900,
contributed by Ryan, Belmont Co.. in 1904 through
your brother-in-aw toward your campaign for United
States in Nebraska Mr. Tibbes mistaken in
his assertions If So why did you not correct them
long ago? If not why did you not your the
ballot candidate for senator and ask vote Of popu
lar preference under the Nebraska law which gives
that right? Why did the democrats refuse to submit
candidates for United States senator to popular vote in
Nebraska in 1898 in 1900 and in 1904?
Z. You, Mr. Bryan, making much of publicity of
campaign contributions Nebraska has campaign pub
icty law, but it enacted you know, by repub-
can legislature after your fusion state administration
had failed to pass such law. Why is It, Mr.. Bryan
that brother-n-law and democratic campaign man
have persisteny and wfuy violated the Nebraska
campaign publicity law? Why, you devoted TO
campaign fund publicity, were insisent that the
contribution your campaign made by the Ben
nett will should be kept secret?
s. Finally, Mr. Bryan, will you please tell us why you
keep up the dishonest fusion masquerade in Nebraska?
Why do you permit democratic presidential electors
be misbranded the Official ballot populists? Are
they trying by false pretenses? Is II
for the of oong popusts into voting for
who would otherwise vote for the popust candidate for
president? II this fusion trick played in Neoraska
defended by you legitimate why do you not try to
play II in other states?
These questions may not all be equally weighty, but
your frank and unequiyocal answers to them would add
to the amenities of the campaign 1t is expected that
will try to get back by harpng The Bses taT:
mistake and by asking other questions return as you
usually do These questions however all relate to the
issues OF the campaign with personalities eliminated

CHICAGO. oct. a.-Activity at the ma
tional headquarters Of the republican and
democratic parties in this city ceased to-
day. the campaign was closed and those
in charge m each camp expressed conf
dence in the result of next Tuesdays poll.
John f. Lamb, vice chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee estimated that
295 electoral votes would be cast for Mr.
Bryan, including New York and Ohio in
his list of Bryan's states.
William Hayward, secretary of the re-
publican committee, was equally sanguine
in hi sopposing estimate, insisting that New
York, Ohio. Illinois and Indiana are safely
republican.
The work Of the democratic committee
under the guidance Of Chairman Mack, ac-
cording to those in charge, has been most
harmonious and has received unanimous
praise from democratic leaders through
QUIT he country. More than 100000 but
tons, pictures and pieces OF printed matter.
the democratic committee estimates, have
been distributed. The publicity department
of the republican national committee has
sent out from Chicago 100000 documents
exclusive of the quantities Of circulars and
buttons.
Only Four Doubtful states in West.
William Hayward secretary OF the re-
publican national committee. in a signed
statement admitted. the existence of only
four doubtful states In what he designated
as the western division. namely, Nevada.
Montana, Colorado and Missouri.

statement, there are but four doubtful
states in the western division-Nevada,
Colorado, Montana and Missouri. BY this
do not mean that we have no chance in
Oklahoma. but not as good chance as In
the four states just named. OF these Colo

electric lights are not so generally in

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cuerd by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

 Theodore Roosevelt, President, Wash

 In commenting upon these remarks, the court said that there was nothing in them which would cause him to change the con clusion that he had reached. In fact declared Judge Wright, they but empha- sized the attitude of the defendants which he had pointed out.
 Morrison and Mitchell would not talk for publication. Morrison said he would speak to the world later Gompers was asked if the sentence was surprise to him, and he replied:
 "A surprlse Indeed 1t was. But all l can think of to say at present has all ready been said When I spoke to the judge. I expressed all that 7 could prop erly at this time. l wish, though, that l had said something about the extracts from the political speeches which. he quoted in his opinion. They were speeches made after the evidence in the trial was taken and were not in any way brought into the evidence"
