FORT WORTH. Tex, October .
United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey,
replying to recent tariff declarations of
William j. Bryan. took MIR. Bryan to task
last night for assertions credited to him
In his address at Ell Paso week ago.
Announcing at the outset that his ad-
dress would be devoid of personal bitter
ness, Mr.. Bailey denied assertions with
regard to Mr.. Bryan, credited to him in
recent speech at Dallas and which
brought forth heated retort from Mr.
Bryan during his Ell Paso address

protection for industries in their respec-
tive districts. This Mr.. Bailey described
as "a terrible Indictment of the demo-
cratic party and would be used by re-

The senator ed the indictment
almost mendacious' and declared with a
single exception (Senator McEnery of
had voted for lower duties than were pro-
posed in the republican bill which Senator
Cummins of Iowa declared bad as it was
was better than any bill the democrats
could make"
Doctrine Of True Democracy.
He maintained that equal distribution
of the burdens of the COVE nment was
sound democratic doctrine, and declared
he would not vote to take the tax off
that which the manufacturer buys while
taxing that which the manufacturer SELLS
but he would vote to reduce that tax to a
revenue basis, which he declared to be the
doctrine of true democracy.
In answer to Mr.. Bryan's declaration
that he was seeking the election of a
democratic Congress, the senator asked
why he came to Texas, where the delega-
ton in Congress is solidly democratic. and
advised him to go to Nebraska and exert
himself.
IF he will go there he said, II will
come and help him..

The colony of fishermen in this city
were disheartened by the muddy condition
of the waters in the vicinity of the Dis
trict during the past week, as but few
of the finny tribe were taken from the
streams The heavy rains of last week
made the water very muddy, while a
strong breeze also handicapped the an
glers.
The night fishermen seem to have had
the luck during the week. as several large
strings of catfish were landed near the
Benning bridge and near Georgetown.
The rockfish which for a time were bit
ing freely in the swift current off Ana
lostan Island seem to have left the vicin-

watch the tide in the river and then put

with a good string.
Jesse Middleton and Henry Talbot paid
their usual weekend visit to Chappa-
wamsic creek last Sunday and landed
about twenty bass. None of the string
was of any extra size. The wind handi-
capped the fishermen.
r. II. Brooks. who with Detective Frank
Baur spent a few days at Knoxville,
Md. caught several fine strings at that
place. but 1t took them so long to find the
fishing grounds that they decided to leave.
Mr.. Brooks went to Solomons Island.
while the detective returned to Washing

ports that many trout are being caught,
while soft crabs are still plentiful.
Mr.. and Mrs. James p. Roots and Mr..
