HITS REPUBLICANS
FOR EETRAYAGANCE
No Hope for People Under
Present System, Bryan
Declares.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Aug. 3l.-Repub-
lican extravaganza in the administration
of the National and State governments
was attacked here today by w j.
Bryan, the Democratic candidate for the
Presiden".-. and he positively declared
that there was no hope for the cause
of the people unless the present system
was overturned.
Bryan was accompanied TO the fair
grounds by Gov. John A Johnson and
a number of the Democratic candidates
for State offices. His drive through the
heart of St Paul was witnessed by large
crowds. who cheered him again and
again
Mr.. Bryan said in part;
Ihe Democratic platform makes Re
publican extravaganza one Of the issues
or the present campaign. The Repub-
llcan platform is silent on the subject
and naturally so; 10 have promised
economy would have been a mOckery,
and TO have defended the appropria
lions made by the last Congress would
have been impossible The F'ifty-first
Congress was commonly called the
billion dollsr Congress. The appro-
prlations made by that Congress COW
cred two years and amounted for the
first time 10 $L00O.OO000O or $500, 600 600
a year.
''The extravagance of that Congress
contributed TO the overwhelming victory
won by the Democrats in the campaign
of 1880. The last Congress, however, has
made a new record in extravaganza. In
spite OF a deficit of more than sixty mill
lions IN the last fiscal year, the appro-
priations, during the last session,
amounted 10 more than q billion dol
lars, or twice as much as the appro-
priations of "A single session Of the Fif-
tV-nrst Congress. The Increase over the
year before was ninety million dollars,
showing growth in expenditure far
In excess of the growth of the popula-
ton.

Bryan Is Consulted.
Mr.. Bryan has been consulted in the
matter, il is understood. and has in
sisted that the man be a New Yorker,
and one who has never been actively
identified with any of the local factions.
These conditions can easily be seen too
hard to fill. taking into consideration
that the person selected must be thor

Boone, Jan. 10.-From Slater comes
tale Of unrequited love. of mis-
placed confidence and q ruined life, all
caused by the refusal Of young man
to carry out his promise to marry a
woman Of immature years, who had
faith in said promise and the inten-
lions of the man to be true to her Her
tale is told in a petition on file IN the
office Of the clerk of the Story county

ton is young woman, Mabel Lande,
a member of a well known family OF
that place and the defendant is Simon
Ritland, also well-to-do family.
In the petition it is alleged that on
or about the day after Christmas of a
year ago, the plaintiff was loesought to
become the bride of the defendant. 10
this she assented and from then on
supposed that she was the regularly
affianced sweetheart of Mr.. Ritland. 1t
states further that on the sixth day
of the following month, the defendant
told her that he had procured the mar
riage license necessary to make them
husband and wife and the time of mar
riage was discussed. By this artif1ce
and thru words of undying love and
flattery, it is alleged the defendant
managed to accomplish her ruin, after
which he has since refused to carry
out his part of the contract and make
her his wife as well as the father of
their child, which was born on Sep
TENDER 81, just past. Charging him
with her ruin as well as disgracing
herself anu her child before the world,
