BRYAN WILL WIN
SAYS GEN, JONES
STATE CHAIRMAN RETURNS
FROM NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Combination Ticket Pleases All Fac
tions in the Party-South Should
be Satisfied,

State Chairman Willie Jones re-
turned Thursday night from the ma
tional Democratic convention held at
Denver last week. Gen. Jones is very
enthusiastic over the success Of the
ticket this fall and believes that
| Bryan and Kern will sweep the coun-
try.
'Whcn the South Carolina dclcga-
tion arrived at Denver it was aDpar-
cnt on all sides that Mr.. Bryan would
be nominatcd,' said Gen. Jones. "Thc
only question was the selection of q
vice president. 1t did not take long
for the majority Of the delegates to
centre on Kern and his nomination
was satisfactory to every oac.
'T" give you an idea as to his
Standing.' continued the chairman,
the name Of Kern -,cntioncd in the
West creates the same enthusiasm
and the people know as much about
him as the people OF South Carolina
know Of y. {. Hayward. Tie is uni
vrrsally popular and swings into line
thousands Of voters who arc in the
belt Of indcpcnlcnts-that is. they
vote the Republican or Democratic
ticket rs their convictions and per-
S"nal regard for the men on the
ticket may influence them.
81 waS particularly pleased with
the chances in Inn'ana and other
States hcrct"Ior" Republican, but
tired of the alleged full dinner pail
and the lack Of prosperity.
"Nn all sides the news of the death
Of Grover Cleveland was received
with regret. Members Of al classes
in the party united in expressing
deepest sympathy for the family and
for the party in the loss of this great
leader, and the adoption of the rcso-
lutl"nS proposed brought the leaders
very close together.
Gen. Jones says that the South
Carolina ,clrwat ion was harmonious
IN the votes in the convention. Their
instructions were to vote for Bryan
for the presidency, and while Gen
Jones had announced that he would
support Senator Tillman for the vice
presidency he felt that in the inter-
cstS of harmony, after the majority
of the party leaders had selected Kern
that there should be no discord. On
the whole all Of the delegates from
the South with some few exceptions
are satisfied and believe the ticket
will win.

Official definitions before any salts

says a writer in the Providence Jour
nal. Flirting Is broad term. and
no one has ever yet succeeded in
defining it exactly. To the fancy OF
the hoi polloi ii consists principally
OF waving a handkerchief or making
google eyes at members of the oppo-
site sex
In higher circles. however. firta-
ton Is generally regarded as very
subtle procedure, a matter to be un-
dertaken in some quiet corner like
a conservatory. just as they do II in

bers. Ii carried on in the street or
any other public place the process
would be SO extremely subtle that
no one but a member of the elect,
with subtle understanding of such
things, could see through it. The
ordinary policeman might see
high-bred Irritation going on full tilt
not more than four feet from his
nose. and he would never know that
tn law was being fagrantly violated,
According to the highest English
authority a fiirt is "a flighty female.
pert. giddy girl. coquette," And
Irritation is 1.-THE desire OF attracting
the notice and admiration OF men.
Our own highly esteemed MIR. Web
ster agrees with this definition by de-
claring a flirt TO be "a young girl
who acts with giddlness. or plays at
courtship."
Thus we learn on the best of au-
thority that Irritation is altogether
matter of feminine practice. Accord
ing TO the leading dictionaries men
never f1irt, and the natural presum-
ption it that they are incapable OF it.
So 1t would appear that men are ex-
empt from the operation OF this new
South Dakota ordinance, and the po-
licemen OF that town Will do we'll to
bear the fact In mind. In other re-
spects they seem to be up against a
perplexing problem. II a tiirt Is
