had agreed to call the Canyon dele

Letter of Thanks From William «I. Itryan.
On the fourth of July, when the
preAri dispatches told of the fight be
ing made at Kansas City against
16 to 1 and the riolije Stand Mr. Bryan
had taken, a large number of men be
longing to the fusion parties joined in
a telegram to t he great leader, endors

their support. In answer to th'is tele
gram the following letter Was received

This was' Mr. Bryan's atlftride on
the silver q'uesti'hti, a'nd there can be
no doubt that if a specific declaration
for 10 to 1 had not been made, he
would haie declined t he nomination.
The great ICader would not have sacri

people for the office, great as it is.
As the operator remarked, it was a
little bit of a telegram with a great
