All tbe speerhc. however, teemed wRb

KANSAS CITY, June r.. William J.
Drran addresaed tbe Jnckaon County Dem
ocratic club tonight, taking for bis sub
ject. "The Outlook." Tbe auditorium,
holding 1.5-00, was not large enough to
meet the demands of the occarlon.
Mr. llryan was especially severe ln his
arraignment of the supreme court berauBe
of Kb decision, ln part Mr. Bryan said:
"1 stopped off to visit this club because
1 have beard that It 1b a harmonizing club,
and we neod juut such clubs all over tbt
country to resist tbe eCort that la being
made to convert the democratic party into
a republican party. I believe wo have tbt
iiem government ever concc-lved by man
and that It will remain the best govern
stent If tbe supreme court will leave tt '
nia.
' In discussing tbe outlook for our pany I
will say that the two things which we must
wer advocate aro organization and prin
ciples. A minority will organised Is more
effective than a majority unotganlsed. Tbe
organization must har the confidence of
its supporters We were well organized in
IKK. and had tbe confidence of our sup
porters. I believe that our stand ln lH.'ll I
saved tbe democratic party from absolute
annihilation Wc wore organized ln ll'Mi
and our supj'orters believed us to be hones i.
There wore men, purporting to be demo
crats, who did not support us during Ihoir
two campaigns. Now these men arc sug
gesting a reorganization. Those so-called
reorgotilsers. who did not represent 20 per
cent of our democratic voters ln 1BPC and
who represented a smaller percentage of our
number !n l'.iOfi. would now dominate the
party, feme of you may think that 1 am not
liberal in my views on the subject of reor
ganization. I believe that we must have
principles and adhere to them. A man
who supported the republican party in
IBI'f. must hove a big change of heart be
fore be tries to lead the democratic party.
The line is so clear between the demo
cratic nnd republican parties that no man
can make u mlntake. The party must con
vert tbe men who have boon opposing It,
and it must not be converted by them.
"If the supreme court declnlon on our in
sular possessions, by which nine men, by
a majority of one. decided to convert this
republlc Into an empire, had been given be

Brown sayb that perhups the Porto Iticans
will have liberty of speech, liberty of the

don't believe ln 'perhaps' rights. Other
nations have tried the doctrine of imperial
Ism and none has escaped. There is no rea
son why this nation should not bo per
petual. The wages of sin is death in a
nation as in an individual, but when n
nation Is good, it lives, If we abandon the
declaration of Independence and tbe con
stitution we shall die. We must appeal
to tbe conscience of the people. I wont
this to be a world power, but a power for
good, not for evil. I don't want It to bo
great because its drum beat con be heard
around the world, but because Its civiliza
tion can be felt everywhere.
"Tlie time will come -when tbe American
people will become nroused and right the

the only opponent of republicanism ln the
United States I should be glad to have tbe
fact written on my tombstone."

"I have Senator MoLaurln's communica

"This leaves me one of thre alternatives:

"There Is no prrerdent lor this matter. ,
I No one has been filing to occupy the des- j

thousand dollnrs. It will be a total loss.
The magazine where tho smokeless pow-
der was stored is construrted of brick and
bi the time It was built was very costly. It
Is located on the end of tbe island away
from all other buildings und there seems
to be no danger of nn cxploalon ir damage
to any of tbe buildings nn tbe Island except
tbe magurlno. No apprehension is felt here
and there is but little excitement over tbe
fact that a large quantity of powder Is
burning on Mare island, not over a half
mile away. The officials at the naval sta-
tlon arc busy directing tbe fighting of the
lire, taking precautions against any possible
danger, but will give out no Information.

"The statement that 1 proposed to make

The fight over the change ln the post

Today Postmaster General Smith notified
Postmaster HarrlBon that tho lease on
the building at present occupied by tbe
postofflee has been renewed for five years
trom January 1, moi, ot un unnual rental
of SCOO, which Includes equipment, heut,
light, etc. Never hns there been a harder

was in favor of tbe Grand Army of the Re
public building and did yeoman service
for the old soldiers, together with lead
ing members of the local organization.
Then came the senatorial election and
Senator Millard got into the thick of the
fray by asking that another inspector be
sent to look over tbe field.
This Inspector, like the first, reported
ln favor of a change to the Omaha Loan
and Trust company's cutldlng. But It is
not satisfactory, and hnally Postmaster
General Smith put an end to tbe whole
thing by renewing tbe lease on the nrcB-
! ont quarters and now It Is presumed peace
wll come to Grand Island.
