SoniitorTlHMiiiBiiysthiitho is tired
of denying reports of ill fooling bc

A domocratlo dnlly papor of Now

t)f "Billy" Bryan should coaso, as ho
hns turned out to 1)0 a Bplondld adver

Former Governor Chandler of Goor

Tho Kusso-Jnpanoso imbroglio is

V. J. Bryan is home from his Euro

not proposo to lot the "doar people"

Bide of tho "into unpleasantness," diod
a fow days ago at his home in Geor
gla. His death, following so closoly
that or uonoral Liongstroet, was a
sovoro blow to tho ranks of tho voter
answho fought for tho confederacy.
General Gordon was a man of genius
and a gonorous foo. From tlio timo
of tho organization of tho Confodor
ato Veterans' association until his
death, Goneral Gordon was tho prosl

The sudden ondlng of the Dlotrich
trial was a rosult unsatisfactory to

timers fulled of an opportunity to in
troduce the mass of testimony that he
had taken weeks to accumulate, and
tho dismissal of tho suit on a techni
cality in no way clears Senator Diet

him, from a moral standpoint. Then,
too, the conviction aud sontonco of a
Now York Congressman, who had to
spend a night in jail and pay a flno of
110,000, undor circumstances similar
to'thoso of tiio Dietrich case, causes
ono to doubt tho correctness of tho

The leaders of course could be called
