W Washington, Aug. 19. ? Although there has been 110 anx
iety u4 tortiui character of Governor Bryan's speech of ac
ceptance manifest, unquestionably the managers of the Dem
ocratic party breathe easier since reading the address of Ne
braska's governor.
Until now the impression
lias been cultivated by many
Republicans that the Presi
dential :n^| Vf'-e Presidential'
nominees could be counted
upon to be at opposites on
-fxtWic ituestious-.and that the
voter would not be consider
ing candidate's standing bn
the party platform but two
men who would interpret it
in different ways.
