We will examine this by the light Of aceual
fact.
Some years ago an old lady fell down oppO-

Bank. n Lombard street. A crowd c0llected
around her. This accident led to groundless

Bernard Walsh, an undertaken, at

was brought to his place late in the

Nebraskan's Followers Lose Their
Fight at Harrisburg.
Harrisburg, Pa, May 26.-After one
of the hardest fights within the party
in several years the Democratic state
convention here decided not to instruct
its delegates at large to the Denver
convention for Bryan. 1t was vic
tory for the Democratic state organiza-
ton headed by Colonel James M. Cuff
fey of Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania
member of the national committee.
Colonel Guffey maintained all along
that he and his friends would control
the convention, but their claims were
always disputed by the leaders of the
faction who were in favor of issuing
binding instructions for William J..
Bryan.
Aside from the defeat of the Bryan
ties, probably the most important hap
pening of the convention was the drop
ping by the Democratic organization
of former State Treasurer William H.
Berry of Delaware county.
There were several names presented
to the convention for delegates at
large, among them Mr.. Berry's, and
he received the smallest number of
votes. The delegates at large chosen
by the Guffey people are Colonel Cuff
fey, State Senators J. X. r. Hall Of
Elk county and A. G.. DeWalt of Lee
high county and John G. Hartman Of
Columbia county.
