THE BRYAN BOOM
FORMALLY LAUNCHED.
ECHOES OF BRYAN DINNER WHEN
THE PEERLESS ONE ANNOUNCED
HIS CANDIDACY.
Th State Pureau,
12 Po.st building,
Washington, Dec. 1.
The $3 Br)'an dinner lias hap
pened, and the Bryan boom is
formally launched upon the
breezes. It was launched amidst
the murk and mazes of smoke
and wine, a ud though it needed
no launching, not even before
UrRrvan'e in The
Commoner ot last week, it is
afloat and no mistake. I sat
* amidst the smoke and wine and
saw it launched mjself. It was
a heap of fun, and while the
thing itself was no surprise,
there were some surprising incidents.
The hour was so late
when the speeches began that
none except Bryan's went out
to the papers; so that a brief resume
is not out of place.
The most significant thing
about the whole dinner, perhaps,
was the speech of John
Sharp Williams. John Sharp is
is a long .sight further away
from most ot the principles advocated
by Bryan than he was
ever from those advocated by
his late antagonist. Vardaman;
but he said that all in all, taking
everything into considera
tion he was of the opinion that
the best things for the Democratic
party to do was to nominate
Bryan next year for the
presidency. He said he would
not stultify himself by saying
that he agreed with Bryan in
everything-, but that "in essentials
unity, in non-essentials
charity" was his motto; and he
asked, if Bryan would be defeated,
"who stands a better chance 1
f not being defeated?"
Tm not afraid of any man
who is a Democrat,'* said Mr ,
Williams. It makes no differ i
tnce whether he is a conserva- 1
tive or a radical. I know his
impulses are right, and I don't ;
know any man I'd rather see
president of these United '
States. I believe he'd be a safe
and sane and sound president." (
He paused a minute till the ap- <
plause permitted him to pro- ,
ceed then he added in his pierc- ,
ing voice, "in the right sense. ,
We don't want a president who
would be so infernally safe and ,
?ane and sound that he would ,
not move."
Mr Williams is always inter- i
esting, and in any crowd of
men, with Bryan or anybody
else present, he stands a peer,
not merely in my judgment,
you understand, but in the
judgment of the crowd. He
was greeted with wild enthusiasm
and listened to, as he always
is, with the closest attention
of everybody. He was altogether
more serious that night
than usual, that is, he let fly
fewer sparks of the ever present
wit than usual, though he
let some fly.
"Keference has been made,'
he said, "to the vitality of the
Democratic party. God knows
it has vitality. Nothing but the
Democratic party could have
survived the mistakes you and
I have made." Then he went
on to explain why, as he said,
that thnnp-h the Democrats al
ways beat the Republicans in
debates, beat them in general
ability, and had the right on
their side, they were so often
defeated. "It is because," he
said, "you can't get eight of
them to pull together in the
same team." Now he proposed
that with respect to Bryan the
whole party pull together, even
though there be many, as he,
who do not agree with all the
policies of Bryan.
One incident of the dinner was
not well brought out, at least
not to all of the diners; those
sitting in the corners of the room
could not see it, and the papers
did not explain it. They had a
picture on the wall of .George
Washington. The Hq^iorable
Sulser of New York, who is half
Irish, he says, and nobody is e ter
inclined to deny it, one of the
Tammany Braves, referred to J
this picture in the most abrupt <
manner, while in the midst of i
his speech, and many of those ;
present did not know what lie;1
meant by it, and some of them j *
are wondering yet. "I am glad <
to see such an excellent picture 1
of George Washington," he ora- j i
ted all of a sudden. Just then ! *
George's hair came off very sud-1(
denly, and our eyes beheld the ,
features of William J Bryan, out i
of whose face they had made a <
likeness of George by sticking f
white hair about it. Amidst ^
the clapping of hands, Sulser i
observed, "See what a transfor- 1
mation my eloquence has ^
brought about."
Two Tammany men spoke at ?
this dinner, and both said that f
Bryan -whs the idol of the Lie-1<
mocracy of New York. One of 1
them said that New York's delegation
would go to the conven- t
tion pledged to Bryan. This 1
may mean something, and it t
may mean nothing. Tammany, *
you know, is a sort of one-man
arrangement, and if it all hap- {
pens as it usually does, this one t
man, whoever he be at the time,
will simply pass the word down c
as to who is to be the man to sup. ^
port and the delegation will act t
accordingly. Still, what these a
men say is most likely the actual
sentiment among the people, j
without regard to what the po- a
litical bosses may think. e

Nobody is too voung, nobody too &

Companion. For that reason it
makes one of the most appropriate
of Christmas gifts?one of the few u
ivhose actual worth far outweighs the h
cost. Welcome as the paper may be ^
to the casual reader on the train, at j
the office, m the public library, it d
is, after all, the paper of the home.
The regularity and frequency of its h
visits, the cordial sincerity of its I ^
tone, make for it soon the place of a J
familiar friend in the home Likely
a good friend, too, it stands always
for those traits and qualities which a
are typified in the ideal home, and "
are the sources of a nation's health
and true prosperity. Is there another
Christmas present costing so ^
little that equals it? e

At the national stationers'

Paul, Mian.,it was stated by Mr *
Waterman of the LE Waterman
company of New York, maker
of Waterman's ideal fountain
pen, that his concern alone sold
last year pens for which con- ?
sumers invested over $2,250,000, c
of which nearly two-thirds were d
sold by stationers. This will il- t
lustrate the rapidly increasing *
use of fountain pens. Mr Wat- {;

"Yes," said Mr. Lincoln, with
great weariness. "You know I

"Cleanliness is a prime factor in
uecessful chicken farming/' said an
xpert. "Keep the runs clean, dry,
heerful and your hens will do their j
uty by you nobly. In fact, to make 1
tens lay well it is almost necessary '
o carry neatness to the finicky
loint?to be as finicky as the old
idy with the aquarium. This old 1
idy did not merely keep the aquaium
neat?the glass spotless, the
tones at the bottom snowy?but it
ras said of her that every Saturday j
tight she took the fish out and gave
hem a bath."
Whenever you feel that jour
stomach bai gone a little wrong, or
when you feel that it id not iu good
order as is evidenced by tueau headaches,
uervousness, bad breath, belcnlug,
take something at times, and
especially after your meals until relief
is afforded. There is nothing
better offered the public today for
stomach troubles, dispepsia, indigestion,
etc., than Kodol. This is a
scientific preparation of natural d:gestants
combined with vegetable
acids and it contains the same juices
found in any healthy stomach.
Kodol is guaranteed to give relief.
It is pleasant to take; it will make
you feel fine by digesting what?ou
eat. Sold by W L Wallace, If 0.
