THE PASSING OF BRYAN

After having been the boss" OF
the Democratic party for fourteen
years William J. Bryan was finally un-
horsed in the convention of his party
held in his w state. BY a test vote
Of 465 to 1914 Nebraska Democrats
shook off the incubus that has fettered
a great political party for SO many
year,. +.
BRYAN is one Of those political acct
dents that frequently occur in the his
tory Of the world. Twenty years ago
his name was practically unknown out
side the borders Of his own state, where
he was known as the "boy orator of
the Platte,'' although he had served a
term in congress. He first came into
national prominence in 1896, at the
Chicago convention. On that occasion
the Democratic party was in rather a
chaotic condition, with no pronounced
candidate for the presidency. With
his usual precocity, MIR. Bryan grasped
the situation, made his catchy "cross
of gold" speech, and the rest was
easy.
In those days Mr.. Bryan was an ultra
radical, and the fact that a man pos
sessed wealth wal enough to stamp
him as a rogue in the eyes OF thi'
modern Don Quixote. But time, and
sharp eye to the "main chance
which netted a comfortable fortune
did much to moderate these extrem
views, with the result that Mr.. Bryal
lost the halo Of a reformer and in cor
sequence was re~pudiated by his part.

MINERS FOOLED BY
HOAX ADVERTISEMENT

An advertisement in the Reno Jour
nal published the first week in July
and asking for 100 miners for Austin
has caused a great deal of annoyance.
The I'd. purported to come from the
Austin Manhattan Consolidated Min
ing company.
The advertisement was published in
good faith and no n doubted the
u -e-a wanted until the follow
ing iFt0t was received from Austin,
whish 1elf-explanatory:

"Nevada State Journal, Reno. New.
"Gentlemen-In your issue Of July
s, which just came to hand we notice

pany, James Hunter, Supt., Austin,
New
"The above is a malicious hoax per-
petrated with the intention of placing
the printer in an embarrassing position
and it will certainly work a great
hardship on anyone who win come here
in answer to the above advertisement.
There is no such company in Austin,
and no such man as James Hunter, but
the above advertisement was meant to
convey the impression that the Austin
Manhattan Mining company by its su-
perintendent, Jas. Humes, was adver-
tising for miners when such is not the
case. I hope you win do your utmost
to correct the mischief this contempt
ible tick may have caused, and we will
consider It q favor if you win give us
the name or description Of the party
who paid for the ad.
