Mr.. Bryan also discusses at much
length the failure of the labor vote
to come to him as his friends n the
Democratic managers expected. He
says he is convinced Samuel Gompers
and other labor leaders were united in
their support, and asks whether the
labor planks in the platform were a
help or hindrance In the campaign.
Discussing Tammany, he avs In part:
"Mr. Murphy. the head of Tammany.
says that Tammany did the best it
could for the Democratic national
ticket. There's the rub. If Tammany
had been treacherous 1t might promise
to be faithful next time, but as 1t Did
the best it could what hope is there
next time? If Tammany did the best
1t could, and could not carry the city
of New York for the Democratic ma
tional ticket, several questions arise:
"First-Was it the fault of the can
didate?
"Second-Was 1t the fault of the
platform?
"Third-Was it the fault of Tam

"Fourth-Is there a New York Dem

the remedy is more difficult.
How is Tammany to be reformed
II Tammany will not support the Dem

On the question of labor Mr.. Bryan

moaning as if in great pain. He went
in the spring house and not finding her
there he traced the sounds he heard and
found her on top of the spring house in
an unconscious condition. The ground
around where she was found looked as
though there had been a struggle, but
no foot prints were found only those
made by Miss Maderis. Her father car
ried her home and summoned DR.. Rob-
erts of West Point and the family ply
stefan, DR.. ] H. Reesor, of Stithton,
