"What Inference can' be drawn, from the

Mr Bryan in two campaigns has advocated
with an ardor and activity never excelled
with all the persuasiveness of his pleasing

"Wherein, M"r. Record Writer, have re

It Is unnecessary to refer to history or to
call alone upon those whose heads time
has silvered, snd whose steps age has
made slow, to prove .ft once the fallacy
and absurdity of democratic prognostica
tions and the wisdom and fulfillment of
republican prophecies? Americana whose

Moaes of 1894 pictured as the result of the
adoption of the gold standard and a return
to protection policies never came, but that

prosperity which was ours prior to the
democratic triumph of 1883, but a degree

Rennbllcan Record Clear.
Mr. Sherman concluded as follow:
It Is the party, says the Record, which
the country lias reason to fear. Fear ia the
dread of evil or harm to come. Should not
puat experience be at least eomethlng of
a basis tor exception. Answer me then,
What act of the republican party lias
trough harm, hue brought distress or dis
aster to our people? Our party bus been
commissioned by the 'people, almost with
out Interruption, for half a century, to ad
minister the affalra Of government. Is
there in Utut record of . faithful discharge
of duty aught to excite four, to arouse ap
prehension? In brief, what is that record
of aceompalnmenta under our party's
leadership? Tha disgrace and dishonor ot
slavery removed; Sectionalism obliterated;
a mighty war fur union and liberty success
fully waged; the debt thus entailed largely
paid; order eui.pit'mei'itmg cliaoa in the
aecedlng atates; a people reunited under
one flag; a depreciated currency reatored;
specie payment resumed; the gold stand

creaaed many fold; our exports lncreaaed
until today we are the greutest export na

our fabulous production consumed In our

In the world by the republican party's con
tinuous enforcement of the protective
policy, a policy which, from ita birth,
has been one of the party's cardinal prin
ciples. With wealth and population In
creased, tha volume of buaineaa enlarged,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-As a result of
the successful trials of tho "Wright flyer"
during the last two weeks by Orvllle
Wright at Fort Myer, a Joint commission,
composed of officers of the ordnance de
partment, the- signal- corps and the artil
lery corps pf the army, may within a few
months undertake . experiments to deter
mine the possibility of damaging an air
ship in flight.
The German government has conducted
experiments ralong thla Una and European
army offioers claim that an aerial war
ship U Immune from artillery fire at a
height of ,6.000 feet. Tha Germans are de
veloping ;a .special mortar, for firing at
balloons and airships, as field guns can
not be adjusUd to very great angles.
Tha signal corps has several old balloons,
which will he used for practice work of
this character. The . tests will probably be
held at the new aeroparlt at Fort Omaha.
Tests of this character In Germany have
shown that a balloon can be hit at a
height of two and tine-half miles. On July
80, at Magdeburg, a captive balloon at this
altitude was struck thirty times, but did
not collapae.
Mr. Wright, in speaking of ths possi
bility of hitting his. aeroplane while In
flight, said:
"Officers of the German army hava told
ma that aq aeroplane could not be fired at
with any degree of accuracy when 1,000
rteet In the air.. With my preaent machine
It Is possible to go a mile high and not ex
perience any adverse effects from the dif
ference in the air at that altitude.'
, An army officer, in speaking at Fort
Myer yesterday of the possibility of hitting
the Wright aeroplane, said:
"It would be necessary to hit the oper
ator of tlie machine, as a few bullets
through the structure of ths aeroplane
would not affect Its flight. The high speed
at which the aeroplane' flies would also
make It difficult to secure accurate aim.
Shrapnel would probably bs the most ef
fective for shooting at these aer.al war
vessels. Ah explosive shell'' would be In
effective, as the parts of the aeroplane do
not offer enough resistance to explode the
eap and no time-fuse shetl could be timed
ao as to explode at tha right moment. All
these questions can be determined only by
experiments and IheSe will jrabably result
in the development of a method by which
aerial destroyers tn be effectively fuuglit.

- There was a' ten-mile ' wind blowing at
Fort Myer, Va., today and Orvllle Wright
announced he probably would make a
flight before' tomorrow. ' He has already
taken up his' machine .In a twelve-mile
breexe at the. army aeronautical testing
grounds. It was pointed out that the wind
today would strike, tha aeroplane in the
rear while standing on the starting track,
and Mr. Wright claims that If there is a
wind it should strke the aeroplane from tha
front
