OPPOSITION TO BRYAN AT WORK.

For some time it has been evi
dent that the intent OF the corpor-
alton gang is to create an import
ant contest in the matter os an in

National convention from this
state. This has been evidenced
by the desperate means used to
upset the work OF the last state

of over 400 threw the Speer out

QUOTING SCRIPTURE.

The following is taken from the
editorial columns of the Fort
Wayne (Ind.) Journal Gazette:
The New York World has pub
lished a pamphlet against William
]. Bryan, and heads its list OF
reasons why Mr.. Bryan should lay
down the party leadership with
this quotation from scriptures:
And every one that was in dis
tress. and every one that was in
debt, and every one that was dis
contented gathered themselves un-
to him; and he became captain
over them; and there were with
him about four hundred men.-l.
Samuel. XXlI., 2.
The parsonage mentioned in the
quotation is, as everyone knows,
David, the son of Jesse. and just
why the New York World should
hold him up as warning to Mr..
Bryan is past comprehension. In
deed. the prophets of Bryan
ism could find nothing from cover
to cover of the Good Book that
so sptIy fits Mr.. Bryan's case,
nothing in the wide range of lit
erature or history. sacred or pro-
fame, that forms a more striking
parallel, or. what is more, Justifies
more sauguine hope of Mr.. Bryan's
ultimate triumph.
There are a good many peo-
pie who are in distress, millions
who are in debt land more going
broke every day.. millions who
are discontented under trust rule,
and they have indeed gathered
themselves unto William Bryan,
and he has become captain over
them.
But the World should have pur-
sued the subject further, and have
recounted. what the captain and
his four hundred did. It's all in
the book of Samuel, too. Like
Bryan touring the world and re-
turning welcomed as no Ameri-
cans had been welcomed, David
returned from his wanderings
and here is what he and his -four
hundred did:
And David smote them from
the twilight even unto the eve
ming of the next day.-I. Samue
XXX. II.
And David recovered all thai
the Amalekites had carried away
!. Samuel XXX, IS.
And David took all the flock:
and the herds which they drave
before those other cattle, anc
said, This is David's spoil. !
Samuel XXX, 20.
In the second book of Samuel
chapter ii, verse A, we read:
And the men of Judah came
and they appointed David king
over the house of Judah.
And again in chapter III, first
verse:
Now there was long war be.
tween the house of Saul and the
house of David; but David waxed
stronger and stronger and the
house of Saul waxed weaker and
weaker.
Next we read:
Then came all the tribes OF
Israel to David unto Hebron and

FOLLOW THEIR LEADER?
There were numbers of colored
men who stood by Senator Foraker
for the presidential nomination be-
fore the Chicago convention. and
some of them were not pleased with
the nomination of Judge Taft.
Among the first to congratulate the
successful aSpirant was Senator For
aker himself He said, Taft is now
my leader" Following a cogent re-
view of the circumstances growing
out of the Senator's generous stand
for Taft, the Cleveland Journal is
moved to inquire:
IF they (the colored Forakerites)
are willing to accept Mr.. Foraker's
advice on the some grounds, will they
also accept it on this?
Mr.. Foraker knows that there can
be little or no hope for the race with
Bryan as president. He knows that
there can be no progress in justice
or any adjustment of present unsatis-
factory conditions. The Democratic
party is not in the business of help
ing the Negro, never has been and
probably never will be" -

He Worked In Sardou.

1t may not be generally known
that NJ. Sardou, the famous drama
fist, once figured in a photograph
as a member of the chamber of dep
uties. 1t happened in this way: A
certain photographer was very anx-
ious to produce the portraits of the
1863 deputies constituting the Re-
publican majority in the chamber of
1877, which defeated the endeavor
to overthrow the republic. He OBJ
tanned the likeness of all of them
except certain Rouge, who was
shy and refused to sit. The pho
tographer in despair asked the ad-
vice Of Gambetta. Nothing is sim
pier" Gambetta said. FYou have
Sardou's portrait? Then use that.
He and Rouge are as much alike as
two peas. No one will ever know
the difference" The advice was
taken, and NJ. Sardou figured all
unwittingly in the number of the
red Republicans.
