With all the faults of the platform, it is infinitely better than McKinleyism Bryan and Sewall will| unquestionably carry Kentucky.” Theatrical men are,as a rule, good judges of the drift of public senti- ment. Mr. J. W. Morissey, widely known as a manager, says of a com- ing event: “Bryan's descent on New York will be a stupendous affair. He will pack Madison Square Garden to its limit—16,000 people—bui 10,000 more will be in the streets to give him welcome. Only a fraction of that monster gathering will be able to hear a word he utters, but few {will fail to read it afterwards.
