LINCOLN. Neb., July 4.-(8perlnl T
Kram,) If the allies at Denver are strong
enough to make the platform they ran
name the candidate for president. Mr.
Bryan tipped this off at the bsnnet riven
last night by the Prysn Traveling Men s club
when he said, after berating the republi
can party for refusing to adnpt a resolution
far publicity of campaign contribution:
"If the convention docs not put a plank In
the platform providing for the publicity of
campaign contribution, the candidate for
president will not rome from Nebraska."
Mr. nryan anld thla with all the vim of
th'a old Bryan, and the statement waa re
ceived by a wild demonstration of approval.
'There were two features not on the pro
gram. The on waa the presence at the
banquet table of Judge Trent'- of Illinois.
Mr. Prentiaa la going to Pcnver to c( atcst

He said the convention bad been carried by
fraud and corruption. Thla la significant
ny when It la considered with the royal
welcome given Roger Sulllvnn by Mr.
Bryan when he went through Lincoln. The
other featflre waa the frequent mention of
free allver by'OHle James of Kentucky and
by Augustus Thomaa of New Tork. Pnth
took the audience back to 1F1 when In dis
cussing the emergency currency bill both
declared It waa better for the country to
coin fifty rent d-V.lars rather than coin
rlvera. referring to watered atock. The
old 1R96 slogan was cheered to the echo
and It was demonstrated that In the minds
of the party free silver at 16 to 1 still
lives and has Its being.

ask you to Join me In a toast: To our

"It la true," said Mr. Troup, "that there

He closed with a prediction of democratic

It has my endorsement."
ThU lady entirely recovered from a
nervous breakdown. She did not go away
to a sanitarium, and spend hundreds of
dollars for a ture. She Just staid at

enthusiastic traveling men, who cheered
him to an echo as he closed his address.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, who was the
next speaker, had for his subject "Popular

the application of what Is known as the

on their delegates to democratic national

In accordance with tho decision of the

of the deltgation before the vote. Where
tate conventions hae to Impose Ihu unit
it bos been held thai the delegation could

Mr. Uryan) "Is the man who received the

will betray It again. We have got to
drive them out. We're not going to gain

want to make the democratic party so near

Mr. Bryan say what he did about people
of the states controlling -their own politics
and settling their own fights. We can
settle our own fights. But I was glad to
hear him refer to Guffy as he did. It is the
first time I ever heard him depart from his
rule of silence on such a subject."
Levi McQulstlon, former deputy attor
ney general of Pennsylvania, spoke briefly,
declaring that the democrats who faced Mr.
Biryan knew what It meant to make sacri
fices for their principles.

standing In the door with Mr. Bryan,
pledged allegiance to the Kebraakari, and
sounded the keynote which later swelled to
a chorus of excoriation for Mr, Guffy.
Mr. Kerr read from a newspaper' an In
terview with Mr. Guffy at Denver In
which the Pennsylvania leader was quoted
as saying that the democratic party needed
regeneration.
"To this I would add," cried the speaker,
"In Pennsylvania," be continued:
"In closing, let me tell you a story of
which Ouffy's name reminds me. A cltlien
of a certain town had died and over his
grave a stone was erected with these
words, "He Did His Best."
"Later, In visiting I was surprised to see
that some one had supplemented this epi
taph with the words, 'friends,1 and I was
reminded by Guffy."
As Mr. Kerr finished, Mr. Bryan, finding
that his guests were cramped for space
Invited them to stand out doors on the

LETTER FROMjmD HICKORY"
Ohio Man Has an Epistle Written

Captain Sterling M. Barner, Dr. Sterling
B. Taylor found a letter written to An

was Inaugurated president. ,Jr. Taylor re
gards the letter as of peculiar value, be
cause It Is written entirely In the hand
writing of "Old Hickory" and contains a
double autograph, the signature being a
postscript. ,
Dr. Taylor also found a lost deed to a
tract of land In Illinois worth uout $300,
and a letter written by his mother when
she was J to her mother. Dr. Taylor's
mother died when he was an infant. lie
values the Jackson letter above the deed
to the land, and the letter written by his
mother above that written by Andrew
Jackson.
The trunk which contained the three
documents had remained undisturbed In
an attic In the former home of Dr. Taylor
at Russellvllle, Ky., for many years.
Captain Barner, Dr. Taylor's grand
father, was a great admirer of the first
democratic president, and a steamboat
which he ond was named for Jiickton.
Tho letter was dated at Hermitage. Tt-nn.,

previous to gelng ti th" White lluuac.
In the letter President Jackson states
that he lb sliding by his trcom. Dun-

you have promised to take charge of and

to send with the colt a "wagKon" load of
forage, but that owlr.g to the "Inclemency
of the day" he could not. He sdys that
McCutchln will pay the expense of feed

PROBLEM OF MAKING GOOD
Took a Personal Interest In His Work
and Ills Employer's Re
Bard. A Pittsburg man told me the other day
how Charles Schwab made good with An
drew C.trnegle. There have been plenty of
stories about the steel king being charmed
by Schwab's winning smile, by his piano
playing and by several other things. But
the real thing that caused Mr. Carnegie to
cotton to the chubby-faced Pennsylvanlan
mountain boy was tho fact that ho was
working.
The first few months Schwab was em
ployed by the Carnegie Steel company he
was In the engineerlngdepartment. A lot
of extra work was to be done, and the boys
In that department were ordered to work
overtime doing It.
"How are you getting along?" Inquired
Mr. Carnegie one day.
'Oh, they're all working, but the only
i live one on the Job Is that young
Schwab."
"Hows that?"
"Why, he takes an Interest In his Job.
He's there early and he stays late. He's
trying to learn something. He never
grumbles about the overtime, and Just so
he makes himself useful and adds a little
every day to what he knew the day be
fore he's satisfied. The others are simply
there because It's a Job, and they need
the money. He's working for .more thsn
money. He's trying to learn the business
and get to be something better than he Is
now." ,
Just that little remark was the making
of Mr. Schwab. Carnegie was always look
ing for men who were not working for
salaries, but for a chance to work Into
something better than a salaried Job. He
sent for young Schwab, looked him over,
and six months later the youngster who
was wanting to learn something was chief
engineer at the Edpar Thompson plant,
then general superintendent, then superin
tendent of the armor plate department,
next president of the company, next presi
dent of the Steel trust, and so on. New
