The conversion of these men to the Hi van cause is due to three tliinpt: lirst, that liryan is some w hat less of a radical than in lMUi; Ht-ond, that many of the reforms then leptrded us radical are no seen to have been eminently ise: and third, that it is probably a choice between liryau, whose lolly character iioouedoiilitH, and Hearst, who has neither Itryau' character nor hia magnet ism. Chietly, how ever, the change is due to the situ at ion which the Indiana platform lieu! I v siiiiiiiiaiies: "That which is today eulogized and approved as broad statesmanship and etililit cued patriotism in Theodore Itotwe veil, was only a few years hjo de nounced as reactionary, revolution aiy and unpatriotic in William Jennings Hi van. The allcrxilit of . the one is almost eiial to the lore djjht of the other." The New York Kvenhig Post also refer to "what I'rwiilent liooaevelt has done to re habilitate Mr. Itryau," ilet'larini; that "any Kepubliean who, after following Ktmnevelt, should object to Itryau as a radical, would simply lie laughed at coiisumedly."

Simmons for Bryan. Says the Washington corresmnd cut of the Charlotte t tlwerver: Senator Simmons, the ollicial head of the Democracy in the Old North State by reason of his posi tion as Stale chairman, is watching w ith keen inlcicit the rising tide that promise to make William .leiiniiigH liryan the Oemocrutic noiiiime for President in 1!M)S. In fact, Mr. Simmon today declined himself In favor of liryan and, like Col. Watleison, entertain the very "liveliest and largest hoe." The North Oiroliiia Senator looked with favor liiMin the candidacy of Judge I'urker when the campaign came on two years ago, Lut today he au thori.cd a Hlatcuieut of his lielief that conditions now point to the wisdom of nominating the Nehru kau. He says that Uryun and Ay ciN'k would be about the right thing, and he believe that Mr. liryan and North Carolina's former chief executive would make a com bination that would appeal power fully to the country.

Towne, who left the ICcpublicau party iu (MHi to follow the llryan lianner, retvntly expressed the seidinients of iiumeroua Democrat in Witsh ingtoii, when he said: "The spon aneity and sincerity of the demand for Mr. Itrvan'a nomination iu IIMIS are only the natural sequence of the political history of the past ten year. The peaipleof the Cnited State want progres with safety and reform with justice. They do uot propone, iu correcting the evils of monopoly, to run the excesses of either socialism or benevolent do potism. They have implicit conti deuce in the self miise, the courage. the sincerity, the honesty ami the ability of Mr. Kryau. No man iu our political history has ever run the gauntlet of criticism and come out of It with such increased lires tige. I look UImiii his nomination as already practically assured and UImiii hi election as little lesscer tain. Much will depend uiion the result of congremioiiiil elections this fall. Should they give the Democratic party a majority in the House, a task of the utmost dillicul ty will confront the legislative lead er of that party. They would have the renMinsiliility without the pow er, and, under circumstance where false stes would Im Isith easy and costly, should the lb-publicans car ry the House by a narrow margin, their task would be only less troiili leMomn."

The grave of the uicn w ho had fought in the service of the Cuited Slates during the "days that tried uieu's Souls'' had lieen dccoiated with Hags and Dower, and the (irand Army of the ICcpiihlic meu and other who hail participated iu the cereniouic had departed. About 4 o'clock iu the afternoon, while the carriage and the auto mobile were crowding through the gate, a tall man with a bronzed countenance apta-arcd. Iu his hands he carried a small bunch of daisies, which had Is-eu sold in front of the entrance to the ceme tery. With a firm tread he walked into the ollice and asked where grave , plat , wa located. Only the superintendents of the cemetery kuew that lu that isolated mI rested the body of one ho had fallen under the "Star anil I tain." One of the grave diggers, acting a a guide, showed him to the lot and pointed out the grave. With leant streaming from his eyes, the old fellow walked forward ami le Misitcd the bunch of daisies. Then reaching dowu in the inside pocket ol hi coat, he drew forth a Hag. It wa old, tattered anil torn, ami it center showed where the banner had lieen pierced by bullets. It required a few moments to bring the furl out properly, a the Hag had to Ih handled tenderly, for it looked a though it would full to piece. Then the man walked out and picket! up a small twig and wrapcil the cud of the Hag around it. anil returning to the grave, planted the Hag at the head. An instant later the "Star and liars' were unfurled. The cemetery was filled with iieo- pie, and among them acre several ineinlsrs of the (irand Army ot the Kcpuhlic. Finally they came across this isolated spot and saw the Conlcdf rate Hag ll ing. " hut' that Hag doing there! ' asked a Northern man. The old Southerner straightened up. one sleeve of his coat wits empty, but there wits a look of de- llauce in hi eye which seemed to say, "there I no man going to re move that Hag.' I lien, carefully removing hi wide, white hat, he said: "I came up here to see wheth er this grave was goii.g to la ileco rated or not. 1 on fellows have lor- gotten him. He wa killed iu the seven days' light around Kich- uiond. He wit my Isiy, the only hoy I ever had; my name's Amiss, and I thought you would overhsik this grave, but I've bowed down to the Star and Stripes, and would light for it today, but there is no one ever going to remove this old Hag under w hich he died until the Stars and StriM-M lire placed there." And then three men, whose days are uuiiiliered in this world, died to out-race each oilier to get a Hag, and when they brought a small one and planted it on the grave, to gether with a large wreath, the old Southerner got up and shook hands and then carefully wrappeil up the Hag with which he hail decorated t he grave. "We'll take Hint," said one of the (irand Army of the Kcpuhlic men. "No yon won't," said the old man. "That was my regimental Hag ill the Stonew all Jackson brig ade. It was not taken away from me then, and it won't h taken up now," and with words of thanks and tear streaming from hi eyes he walked away, and one of the Northern men said, "No wonder we had to tight."

One afternoon, just alsuit dark, he was on his way home from a oiiiet stroll. He had pulled a hill almost to the brow and turned to cross to the opposite side of the road. A he hit the middle of the street, or road, he beard the fright ful, sound, 'hliugcr-ling? bliuger ling!' He became terror stricken and lloiindered, turning round ami round iu the road, swinging his club preparatory to warding oil' a blow from an oncoming wheel.

The first ring had lieen turned on by the cyclist to w arn any old traveler w ho might hapiM'ii to Is over the hill, but the second one wit to warn Mr. Watson, the person in sight.

For ten year he has looked for the fellow who gouged him so with the bicycle that night, but has never Is-eu utile to identify him. He car rie a gun now, but cannot refrain from running whenever he hears the 'honk, honk, honk' of the auto mobile. "Thm story may vary a little from Mr. Watson's version of his mix up with the cyclist mid the wheel, but the facts are right." "Do you know Judge Hisdeti Tyler lleiiiiettt" asked a gentleman who had been laughing to himscll for ome minute. "Oil, ye," said everylmdy. "Well, you ought to hear him on the bicycle!
