Insofar as he has a party behind him,
Mr.. Bryan is the candidate of those who
maligned and ridiculed the first and great
est president the republican party has given

who struck down slavery, who signed the

of all the free states, except three from
New Jersey, which were cast for Douglass

threat of the solid south came to terrorize

Discussing "the comparative merits OF

Sir Charles advances this somewhat
chnrlish proposition as British excuse
for American facility Of speech, his un-
graciousness may be forgiven him. The
power OF good talk is the plcasantest
gift that man may have. If 1t is
born of constant practice, by all means
let practice be constant.
But the postulnte that "Americans are
always talking is something of u
novelty. Is It fact? Has Sir Charles
based his view upon the demeanor of

change its color. Militia. who Is a re-;
bust specimen Of his type. Is blessed
with a good appetite. and yesterday
morning In his home he plunged SO
.ravenously into a steak that he swul-
lowed several large pieces, bone and
all.
Soon he began to strangle. and he
was hurried to the City Hospital. With
great difficulty DR.. A. w. Foertmeyer,
the receiving physician. succeeded in
dislodging two chunks Of steak. but
the bone had gone SO far down into
the oesophagus as to be out Of reach.
Militia was, therefore. speeded to the
f-ray room, where his real ordeal
began. The sight of the black-draped
apartment, with its weird-looking ma
chimes, sent the chills down the untu-
tored Roumanian's back. When the
window shades were pulled down and
the buzzing machine began to glow
with Its fantastic lights, Militia thought
he was In the devils kitchen. and he
fairly yelled with fright.
All efforts to pacify him were in
vain, and the physicians had to give
up their task. because they feared he
would break the machine in his efforts
to escape. When he again reached the
receiving ward he darted out OF the
