Another man in Lincoln, a former ad-
mirer of Mr.. Bryan, a democrat who voted
for him. twice and will vote for him
again, expressed his opinion thus: Mr..
Bryan's a good fellow and l like him.
He has always treated me all right. 1
am a democrat and am going to vote for
him. But to tell you the honest truth,
Bryan's got a yellow streak in him He
keeps II pretty we'll concealed usually. but
every now and then 1t shows. Bryan isn't
a thoroughbred"
Now that's a pretty mean thing to say
about a man.
Another man, one who has Known Mr..
Bryan for years, a former supporter of
his and once a warm friend, says this:
"Mr. Bryan has gone backward In every
thing but finances. He is now a rich
man. When he was a young man, when
he went to congress, he was poor. He had
never had a thousand dollars all at one
time in his life. He went to the republic
can convention of 1896 to cover 1t for the
paper he was employed by in Omaha, and
went to the democratic convention to do
the same thing. He could not make his
living at his law practice, and he was
getting $25 a week from the newspaper.
That, OF course, was nothing against him.
Then he was a fine fellow, a man of
high, even If impractieable, ideals. When
he went TO that convention he had no
more idea of being nominated than you or
l have of buying the Union Pacific rail-
road. BY the exercise of his silver tongue
he stampeded the convention, and we
all know what followed. For a long time,
even after he was nominated a second
time, we kept I'm touch with each other.
After his second defeat he deliberately
set his ideals aside and has been out for
tn dough He coined the tinkling of his
silver tongue into golden dollars, and he
is as keen after them as any of the plu-
toerats he so picturesquely denounced i'm
other days.

Protests we're made by some of Mr.. Bry-
ans followers. They said 1t was not seemly
in a city like Lincoln to compel visitors
to Mr.. Bryan to march under the banner
of their political enemies. A number Of
republicans agreed, and the controversy
really grew heated, until finally a leading
republican paper came out in a hot edi-
torial giving the whole snap away. 1t
frankly pointed out that these expected
delegations would be large and would bring
considerable money to- Lincoln and that IL
would mean much more to Lincoln to get
this democratic money thai 70 air any po-
litical sentiments that might be repre-
scented By a Taft banner. The banner
stayed up, however, but another one went
up with the words welcome to Bryan's
Town. Thus do the thrifty Nebraskans
make capital out of theft twice-defeated
fellow citizen.

Here's another singular thing: One Of
the arguments the democrats are using
In advocacy CT the election CT Mr.. BRYAN
is the same that the republicans are using
for opposing him. And tina is that he's
not the same Bryan he was in 1895 and 1900.
The democrats will tell you that Mr..
Bryan is a more conservative, a better
balanced. a more thoughtful Bryan than
the Bryan who led the democrats to defeat
In those two memorable campaigns Since
1896 they say he has studied and has
Travelled. He is not so swayed by his i'm
pulses, but acts with a calmer judgment.
He now realizes what the people want and
knows better how to go after II.
Yes, say the republicans, Bryan is not
the same Bryan he was in 1895 and 1900,
That is the trouble. Then he was a man
of ideals. He was mistaken. we believe,
in the remedies he proposed, but he was
honest in his belief In them. He was Young
and impulsive, but he rang true. Now he
has become commercialized. He knows
better what he wants, and knows better
how to go after it. He is willing to secri-
flee principle for expediency, and he plays
the game of politics as a politician. Not
that we object TO his playing the game that
way, but we do object to his putting on a
sanctimonious smirk while he is doing 1t.
pretending to be a follower after high
ideals, a Moses leading his party out of
the wilderness by divine guidance. In other
words, we object to his building up Il poll
teal machine under the cover of the teach
ings of The Prince of Peace"

stu, the pilgrims a not been coming
in as expected. Mr.. BryaA's front porch
was strengthened. but up to this time there
has been no repetition of the Cantor pill
g~rimages, when thousands and thousands
of enthusiastic republicans went to visit
Mckinley in 1896. There have been some
delegations, of course; but, really, this
pilgrimage business has been a frost.
Ore can hear almost anything here for
and against Mr.. Bryan. There is preju-
dice on both sides. One man will tell you
Bryan is the finest fellow on Gods green
earth. He's an enthusiastic democrat. An
other will say he's a mountebank and a
faker. He's a rampant republican. A third
will say, "Oh, yes; Mr.. FryGT IL popular
here. He's a good citizen and we all like
him; but" And he may be either a demo-
crat or a republican. The truth is the
people are doubling Mr.. Bryen's sincerity.

INSPECTING OLD g. P. o.
Complaints of Safety of Building
Are Under Investigation.

The work of inspecting the floors of the
old government printing office is in prog
ress today by direction of Col Charles S
Bromwell, superintendent of public build
ings and grounds.
Complaint has been made of overload
ing of floors of the venerable structure
Attention was called to the noticeable
sag where heavy material had been piled
in storage.
For a number Of years the edifice has
been regarded as unsafe. During its oc-
cupancy by hundreds of workers before
the new building had been completed
there were several sensational scares.
The recent collapse of flooring with IA
tai results at the apartment house at
10th and streets called attention to the
old printing office. The public printer re-
quested an inspection as a precautionary
matter as told in The Star yesterday.
Col. Bromwell said this afternoon the
inspection would probably be completed
and his report ready the latter part of
this week.

do you intend to investigate Ame's
connection with Deane?"
Il will probably interview the gentle
man. said Peterson.
Mayor George Pickett, who was said
TO have introduced Deane into San
Francisco society. yesterday denied
that such was the fact. Mayor Pickett
stated that his acquaintance with
Deane, or Coker, as he knew him, was
merely brought about through the
former friendship of Mrs. Pickett and
Mrs. Coker, whom she had known as
Bessie Armstrong. Mayor Pickett
knew nothing of Coker's clairvoyant
schemes, and when the facts became
known to him yesterday. expressed his
astonishment and indignation at Cox
er's actions.
