Bryan in the address to be delivered by the Nebraskan in this city a week from today, is a rumor that has been cir culated here, apparently with some basis of authority. Ab a result, the Socialists of the city are up in arms and may decide, if the r.eport proves true, to hold an opposition meetirffe. criticisms of Gompers, in which he intimated that the money to pay for the "red special" tour of Eugene V. Debs was furnished by capitalists, have aroused much in dignation in labor circles.

According to rumor, Mr. Bryan's attack on Socialism will not be of a personal nature, but will be devoted to a consideration of the Socialist theories in their various forms. He will allege that Democracy is di rectly opposed to Socialism and that the Republican party is responsible for the great growth of the Marxian party in this country. He will at tempt to demonstrate that should the cause he represents be defeated in November there may be a dangerous method of reforming habitual souses may become a worthy rival of the Salvation Army tactics and the gold cure.

One of the main purposes of this proposed address is to disprove the charge so frequently made aginst him by political opponents in the East, as well as a large element that, he contends, does not understand him, that his political doctrines are tinctured with Socialism. He will attempt to show that what he advo cates in government leads directly away from Socialism, whereas Re publican principles and practices tend strongly to stimulate the growth of Socialism. As Mr. Bryan has never fully ex ploited this theme before in a speech, although he has touched upon it con siderably, it is believed that should he put his present intention into force in his New York address it will create one of the sensations of the campaign discovered a sad case of destitution, a worthy woman and her children being ill, starving and on the point of be ing evicted from the hovel they called | home.

Appealing for aid for the mother I and little ones, the newspaper pub lished on its first page, under head, a scathing denunciation of the drunken head of the impoverished family. There was no mincing of words, and the man was held up to public ridicule as a worthless fellow unfit to associate with decent human being. a scare Instead of calling on the editor with a gun, the newspaper publicity had the effect of suddenly sobering the drunkard.
