ASTORIA UP IN ARMS,

The property owners and taxpay-
ers Of this city are up in arms at
last and intend to fight to the bitter
end for a revolutionary change in
the municipal melange and for the
assurance that they may yet save
their holdings with some show Of
ultimately realizing on them, before
they are utterly swamped with con-
fseatory charges Of various kinds
and degrees. They are the men who
pay the public bills and their right
to revolt is as righteous as it is
timely. And the poorer of them all
have the most at stake since it is
their all that is threatened. Every
piece Of property in Astoria today is
almost valueless on account OF the
public charges pending against il and
time alone, and the absence Of furth-
er burdens in the meantime, may re-
leve it to such a point as to permit
the naming of an equitable and sane
price for it.
This is no picayune fight for
mere handful Of men. There is
something deeper and more com
manding than personalities and the
claims of individuals for preferment
in the campaign now af6ot; and this.
spirit of just amendment win assert
itself, howsoeyer the election shall

as to this phase Of the fight.
The Citizens" ticket is labelled,
beforehand, with a million-dollar
seawall burden which it is pledged
to cast upon the city the moment it
is put in power il, ever again, it is
trusted with the reins of authority,
and the man who votes to put it back
in Office, votes to smother his home
and business beneath that weight,
which, with all that now enyelops it,
will put it beyond that voter ever to
save it. Astoria, with her present
million of debt has but one supreme
duty to perform on the 9th Of next
month, and that is TO put her affairs

CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-The shadow

court yesterday, and agents OF the
Russian government put forth their

WE DO NOT BELIEVE TT


There is a rumor abroad in the
city that the so saloons in the Sec

that element and there are those Of
that faction who make the claim

It.

College of Law at Chicago, in 1888.
In October, 1884, Mr.. Bryan was
married to Miss Mary E. Baird, of
Perry, Ill. He practiced law at Jack
.sonville, ILL.,, from 1883 to 1887; since
which time he has practiced his pro-
fession at Lincoln, Neb., where he
has made his home.
He was a memberof Congress from
the Lincoln (Neb.) district from 1891 !;

During 1894 to 1896 M. Bryan
was editor of the Omaha World-Her-

In 1895 he was a delegate to the
National Democratic Convention at
Chicago; he wrote the Silver plank"
in the platform, and after making a
notable and stirring speech he was
nominated for the Presidency. Dur
ing the campaign he Travelled over
$4,000 miles, and made speeches at
almost every stopping place; he re-
ceived 176 electoral votes against
271 for the late William Mckinley.
In 1878 he lectured on bimetal-
ism, and in May, 1898, he raised and
organized the Third Regiment Ne
braska Volunteers, infantry, for SER
vice in the Spanish-American War,
and became colonel of the regiment.
In 1900 he was again nominated
for President on the Democratic tick
ct, and also received the endorsement
of the Populist and Silver Republi-
can conventions. Mr.. Bryan made
another active canvass, but was again
defeated, this time receiving in the
electoral college 155 votes as against
293 for Mr.. Mckinley.
Soon after his last Presidential de-
feat Mr.. Bryan established The Com
moner, a weekly political journal, in
which he has kept the public posted
as to his views on political subjects.
From this jo@rnal, lectures and
books, "The First Battle" and "Un-

merous special articles written for
other magazines and newspapers, Mr..
Bryan has amassed comfortable
competency.

What Bryan Says.
Lincoln, Neb., Spccial.-When the
news of his nomination reached Mr..
Bryan he said:
"The presidency is the highest Of
fetal position in the world, and no
one occupying it can afford to have
his views upon public questions BIAS
ed by personal ambition. Recogniz-
ing his responsibility TO God and his
obligation to his countrymen, he
should enter upon the discharge of
his duties with singleness of pur-
pose. Believing that one can best
do this when he is not planning for
a second term, I announce now, as
| have on former occasions, that if
elected I shall not be candidate for
reelection.
Then Mr.. Bryan added:
HThis nomination is as pure nomi-
nation from the people as was ever
made. If elected, my obligation will
be to the people. I appreciate the
horror the more because it came not
from one person or a few persons,
but from the rank and file of the
Democratic party acting freely and
without compulsion."
