nificent buildings.
Thep rince was attended by a field
marshafs escort and his presence was

After a discussion lasting an hour
In which many attorneys. representing

Mandell continued until next Satur-

"Wednesday afternoon, restraining

Austin asks that an accounting be

that the firm OF Hayden, Stone & Co.

No suit has been brought against

Bryan's Cincinnati Reception.

The unparalleled reception given
VIM. j. Bryan in Cincinnati by $4,000
people Thursday night brought forth
the observation-disclosures from the Repub-
lican Cincinnati Enquirer:
mir. Bryan's trip through Ohio yes
terday was continuous ovation. His
entrance into Cincinnati last night was
a veritable triumph Not even In the
exciting days of 1896 was the Ne
braskan accorded such overwhelming
evidence Of popular interest in itself
and his utterances.
THAT there should have been mani
tested such tremendous enthusiasm for
him In the home town of Mr.. Taft has
excited greatest wonder There can be
only this explanation. Either Mr..
Bryan still eXerts that magnetism of
presence and voice which alone charm
the multitude, or else he has grown so
greatly in the esteem of the public ty
his more recent utterances that the
thousands would attest their devotion
and loaylty to the cause he represents
by their presence and plaudits. The
story can be told only in November.
Whatever be the cause or reason for
Mr.. Bryan's magnificent reception here
and elsewhere, it is apparent that the
enormous crowds that go to greet him
are causing no little concern and un-
easiness in the camp of the enemy"

In the first place, John W. Kern is
an Old fogy. He has such old-fashion
ed notions that ne despises a man who
would divorce his wife and the mother
of his children in order to crafty an
insane passion fer an actress. John
w. Kern is one OF those back numbers
who places honor above dollars. He
would not sell his soul for gold, even
though the devil offered him ali of the
yellow metal there is in the bowels of
the earth. He has remained a COM
paratively poor man all his life rather
than enter a combine to rob the peo-
pie and drive competitors out of bust
ness. He never so far as we have been
able to learn either found public
library or endowed a college. Having
lived wholesome and God-fearing life
all his days, he has never felt the ne
cessity of apologizing to his Maker or
offering penance in the form of lucre for
his sins. William E. Corey is about as
sharp a contrast TO John w. Kern as
could be found within the boundaries
of the United States, with the possible
exception of James S. Sherman. the
other candidate for Vice President. no
man who holds dear the honor of this
country can contemplate the ,possibili-
ty of James S. Sherman becoming
through an act of Providence, the
