i characterized his canvass for tho presi
l dency. In a calm tone raised just a
> little above the conversational, hedoliv
j his address. Interest was inteuso at
all timei^in account of tho simple man
j nor in which difficult subjects were
| handled and flie earnestness of tho
j speaker.
i Mr. Bryan began by thanking tho
j people for their attendance and *aid ho
: was particularly delighted to speak to
i so many of tho student body, as when
j ouce a student was converted bo im
mediately became on apostle and would
I preach tho doctrino lucidly at every
! opportunity. In ordinary times, the
! speaker said, tho money question was iu
! his opinion paramount to all others.
? In tinios of danger the safety of tho
i nation takes precedonce. lie then
: went into tho subject of his discourso.
? Bimetallism, ho said, was tho old
historic standard of value that had
come down through the ages since
money had been adopted as a medium
; of exchange. Cold monometallism is
1 only uu experiment and has proved a
disastrous olio for this country. Bi
; metalliam is tho only economic prin
ciple thai has never been denounced by
! any political party until tho bolting
democrat a of IH<M> declared that gold
i was tho only hope of tho country and
that party loceived less than I per cent.
| of votes of this country. It carried only"
j one precinct in tho I'nited States, ami
1 that was ono in western Kansas where
I there weio six votes. All threo of tho
; great partios, Democratic, Republican
| and I'oj ulist, had always advocated bi
| motallism; therefore it must, be the
choice of tho peoplo of this country.
I ho Democratic defeat of 1 8% was not
a defeat of bimetallism becauso the llo
j publicana promised to endeavor to es
; l.il'lished it by international agroemont,
I and tho election of Mr. McKiuley only
i meant thnMho peoplo were willing to
j defer a straight out fight for four years
i in the hope (hat it could bo obtained iu
this way.
| Mr. Itryan next explained tho claims
' of different peoplo that silver had been
j demonetized mi |h:{| and in IH'il. and
I demonstrated that the law of 1 H:14
merely lot upon the coin ago of sil\er
dollars, but kept up the coinage of tho
smaller denominations and at that
time they woro full legal tender. The
act of "?l nieroly changed the ratio
from l:>j to l?> jo I.
I hat tho desire for bimetallism was j
not confined to this country alone, Mr.
Bryan proved by the records of tho
lower house of tho dorman legisla- ,
ture, which had prsscd a resolution
declaring for bimetallism; a conven
tion of agriculturists in Franco had
done tho same thing, and tho House o
Commons, in Kngland, passed a reso
I u t ion urging on tho* government the
ti ecessity of making some contract with
the .American bimetallic commission
which was then ill that country. Mr.
Bryan then rehearsed his argument
about leaving the financial fate of this
country in the hands of British finan
ciers and ended with an oloquent per
oration urging all to study the vita!
question, and having onco been con
verted to war for iton.all occasions.
Pandemonium broke forth as Mr.
Bryan retired. Peoplo stood on chairs,
waved hat#, umbrellas. flags ana
cheered until the sides of the audi
torium fairlj* shook."
President drier next Introduced Sen
ator McT.anrin, who paid a glowing
tribute to Dne West's educational ?u
?titntiona and the "next president of
the United States, William Jennings
Bryan. "
Possibly the most pleasing and in
teiesting episode of tho day was the
presentation of a bunch of beautiful
lil lies to Mr. Bryan bj the gradnating
class of the female eollego. To make
the presentation addreea the young
ladies selected Congressman Loots, of
Ohio. Mr. Lentz m?w|it> Mr. Mo*
Kinler'e congressional district, and in
hit address he recited tho^ fscts and
I
ended by declaring that it ?u oitl v
ri#ht for the present president's ?epre
mutative in congress to present the
next president with llow<?r?,
During the evening Mr. Hryan Mra?
tendered a banquet by the faculties of
the three colleges and leading citizen#
of Due Webt,
Mr. Bryan, on the route from Augus
la, (<a , to Due Went, had to make short
addresses and ahako the people's hands.
At Oreeuwood\ "8. O. . fully fi.OOO people
greeted him. A Maud ga!lv deoorated
with national emblems had neon erected
in the public square, pear the depot and
from the branch of a tree that acted ana

was short and more humorous thrtn his
talks usually ate.

Third Tho fact that a oertain sea
man who was in the bowela of the ahij
at the time of the explosion was blowt
into the air and subsequently picked
up iu the water.
This man's story,' when it is niadj
public, will live in history as probablj
one of the most hairbreadth cuoapes at

An Interesting Question Wlilcli A tloets
All Out Hoards.
Undor the now law regarding pupor
visors of registration, h question has
arisen in some of the counties which is
also of interest to al! the others. It is
as to what length of time the former
boards of supervisors got paid for, and
when the pay of tho new boards com
mence. Comptroller ( Seueral Derham.
who Ims received a number of inquiries
along this line, takes the position that
tho teuureof ollicoof tho old boards ex
pired the lirf>t of tiio .year, that being
the beginning of tho liboal as well as
tho calendar year. Consequently, lie
says, they got no pay for service rou
derod in 1W8 unless they are able to
obtain remuneration from the board
just coming in. In tome counties the
personnel of the board is practically
unchanged and in such counties it will
not be dilticult to arrange the matter. ?
