On the ether hand, Bryan believes ;bat the Republican candidate is almost ready to admit that he is veil impressed with the platform adopted at Denver. Bryan referred to the fear prevaieD: among mpsy politicians that there will bs general uprising in November against the abuses which have arisen under the Republican administration, and that the pr0sests of the people agains. present conditions wiIl de- sermine the next election. In spite of this prospect Bryan declares shas Taft is unriIIing, or unable under the re- stricsicn of many of the party leaders, to inaugurase sUbstantisl reforms de- signed to correct the unsatisfactory conditions which have prevailed all over the United States the past year.

cate, of New York city. will be given a

ing based on personal attack said 20

ton with the trial OF Prof. B. y. Brown
