You see. this is another instance where

New York Delegation Getting Ac-
guninted with the West.
Omaha, Nebr.. July 5-Amid a silence
broken only by the sounds incidental to
big railroad station, 400 members OF
Tammany Hall In four special trains
this morning crossed the Missouri River
and pulled into the Omaha union depot.
The Tammanyites had travelled all night
from Chicago. and the stop at Omaha
was the first one made after they had
reached Bryan's country. No brass
bands met the travellers and there was
no special reception committee
The Tammanyites seemed 10 feel that
they were In a strange country This
was the first time most Of them had been
beyond Chicago. and some OF them were
surprised to see signs OF civilization.
After the pilgrims returned from the
churches, they scattered around the
hotels and cafes. and gradually became
acquainted with some of the local Dem
ocrats.
Before the special trains started West
from Omaha many OF the Tammanyites
were wearing Bryan badges and a num-
ber Of Tammany badges were on the
breasts OF the Nebraskans.

A TRIBUTE TO UNCLE REMUS.
Following Funeral Of Author,
Br'er Rabbit Takes Up Abode
at Snap Bean Farm.

From the Atlantic Constitution
"Br'er Rabbit" has taken up h's
abode at the home OF "Cncle l'"mus,
not In spirit, but In the living flash.
And therein lies a remarkable coin'
cidence following she recent death o'
Joel Chandler Harris.
Just week to the day had passed,
following the last tribute paid the
noted author who personiiied she
animals and made she shy bus
shrewd rabbits stand ont In fame
among all the rest, when "A real live
rabbit came so "The Sign OF the

" here he came from nobody

the "Snap Bean Farm" was good
enough for him. And there he Is ap

Mrs. Harris saw him In she nick o'
him and prevented she attack.
And then the children, grandsons
and granddaughters OF the late "Un'
Gle Remus' resolved they would try
TO make pet Of him. Cautiously
they approached food In hand, ex'
pecting every minute he would turn
and run TO escape from them, but
not SO. Nearer and nearer they
went, but Br'er Rabbit did not stir
until the proffered food was placed
beneath his nose and then-he ate 1t
Ii was a tame rabbit; there was no
doubt Of that. But whose? and
where did he come from? Dlligent
inquiry has failed TO establish any

unexpected but not unwelcomed WIS.,

the coal shed with the coal pile for
his bed. There he goes nightly es he
has done since his arrival, venturlng
forth by day to nibble dainty bite OF

Strangely enough, considering MIR.

The West Against the East.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
The Republican party will have q
deal TO answer for when History and
Philosophy come to take their final
measurements and to balance the ac
count between wisdom and folly.
ght and wrong, In the government
OF the country through half CEN
tury of misconception and malad-
ministration OF Southern affairs.
But none OF these questions touches
the present presidential campaign.
With the South solid behind it she
Democratic party was never less see
tional and more national. Ii is the
Republican party which is not only
still q sectionalist, but narrowing
sectionalist, for whereas it formerly
drew it's inspiration from the whole
of that part OF the country lying
north OF the old mythical Mason and
Di1on's line, 1t now draws It from
the East exclusively, its policies at
length quite as hostile to the West
as they ever we're to the South.
Everything the West has to buy Is
made high by the tariff for the bene-
fit OF the Eastern manuiacturer.
Everything the West has to sell is
priced In free trade market. The
anti Western sentiment OF the East
shows itself in the newspapers OF
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
but is systematic and vindictive in
the ne SsPspers OF the City Of New
York, which, where q Western man,
or interest, is concerned, delight in
alternate suppressions and sneers;
indeed, to be q Western man or wo-
man, is to be q pariah In that COM
munity-as reflected by It's daily
press-though II draws its chief sus-
tensnce and support from Western
sources.
There will be no change until there
