Gubernatorial Contest va Side Issue to Elect Members of Congress to Support Bryanite Program. Special Correspondence. Philadelphia, September 4. Manufacturers and business men of this city have been sitting up and taking notice since that demonstra tion In New York over the home-coming of William Jennings Bryan. That pledge to Bryan that Pennsyl- If vania will show a gain of at least iu- cignt Democratic congressmen in the returns of the November election, made by one of the campaign orators In the Kmery gubernatorial outfit, has opened tho eyes of Pennsylvania Re- publicans to the dangers that lurk iu the fiiBlon movement iu this state. The loss of one Republican congress man in the Keystone state, tho Gibral tar of Republicanism, with the uncer tainty that exists In so many congres sional districts in doubtful or debata ble states, means much more in the total result than is generally under stood. Ono vote may decide the elec tion of the speaker of the next na tional house of representatives, and the Democrats may get that vote from Pennsylvania through the game that is being worked in the deal between the Democrats and the Lincolnltes. President Roosevelt, In his recent utterances in letters to members of congress aud others, has sounded the alarm, and has warned Republicans everywhere to be on their guard in every congressional district so as to insure the election of members of con gress, who villi co-operate with his ad .iiiuibiiaiiou in carrying out the great policies which he has inaugurated the builditij of the transcontinental canal, the control of the trusts, aboli tion of freight discriminations, restric tion ol Immigration and the other great problems which he has under taken to solve with the aid of a friendly congress. Aim of the Bryanites. When several hundred Pennsylva nia Democrats journeyed to New York last week to greet Bryan they had but one thought uppermost In their minds. It was the election of Bryan to the presidency to succeed Roosevelt. Ev ery effort that they tan put forth be- tween now and the next presidential campaign will be directed toward that end. Their activity in the state cam paign in Pennsylvania this year is but part of a general scheme, with the election of the next president as its ultimate object. Carried away with the enthusiasm with which their surroundings filled them, the Pennsylvania Democratic contingent at the Bryan reception in discreetly revealed the cloven foot in the fusion campaign for Emery for governor. John M. Carman, a former chairman of the Democratic state committee of Pennsylvania, who is booked to stump the state for Emery and fusion from now until election day in the Victoria hotel. New York, away from the en vlronmcnt of his Emery LIucolnite fcl low campaigners, threw off the cloak of the fusion conspiracy and revealed to Bryan and to the world, unwitting ly, the fact that the real aim of the Democracy in Pennsylvania this fall is the election of Democratic member of congress. Garman was spokesman for the dele gation of Fennsylvanians who present ed Bryan with a solid-silver shield, suitably Inscribed and mounted upon a heavy old-oak escutcheon, and gaily decorated with flowers. A Significant Testimonial. Engraved in large script letters was the following inscription: The more than half a million Demo crats of Pennsylvania Join with pride in the national greeting To "WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, The most eminent private citizen of America, upon his return from a tour of foreign lands. "THEY HAIL HIM AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. "As an Indication of the attitude of the organized Democracy of the Key stone state upon this Issue, they point with gratification to the unanimous adoption by the Democratic state con vention, held In Harrlsburg June 27, 190fi, of a platform, the most note worthy plank of which reads as fol lows: : We congratulate the country upon the fact that the only prominence which the present Republican national dministration has attained has been achieved by feeble and pretended ap plication of the principles enunciated by the "HON. WM. JENNINGS BRYAN, "The Great Democratic Commoner. Who is now regarded as tho certain successor of Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency." Tho above reproduction from the platform adopted by the Democratic convention which nominated Emery for governor should In Itself be an dmonitlon to Republicans of the Key stone state of the great danger to the future success of Republicanism !n the nation that would follow a defeat of tho Republican ticket in this state this fall. They should recall how, af. ter the two Democratic victories in Gubernatorial campaigns In this state iu the last 20 years the Democracy triumphed in the nation with the elec tion of Grover Cleveland to the presl doncy upon each occasion. Pledge to Their Leader. But. added to tho warning that should be contained In that plank from the state platform, comes a speech by Carman Iu presenting this token esteem to Brynn. Said Garman to the Nebraakau leader: We bring greetings from a unite Democracy, who recognize In the denv onstration of popular good will towar yon an inspiration for every Demo crat to look with confidence to the fu ture. "We at tho same time are not un mindful of the importance of tho elec tion of Democrats to congress, and there Is every reason to believe that we shall gnin from six to eight pepre- sentatives to the lower "house, who will co-operate with their fellow Dora ocrats of other states to advance the policies which you have so consist ently and ably championed." There is evidence that there has been an awakening among Republicans throughout the commonwealth to the fact that nothing must be left undone to thwart the Democrats and their Lin colnite allies in the state campaign.

The story of the origin of the uiunU' script, nowever, not only gives It as tho work of line man, but also states It to be tho work of u single night. The story runs as follows: "A poor monk had beeu condemned to death, but was told mockingly by Ills Judges that if be was able to copy the whole 'Code' betweeu darkness nud dawn lie would be saved. Relying up on the Impossibility of the task, those who sentenced him furnished him with the original copy of the 'Code,' wltb pen, In!: nnd parchment, aud left him "Death must have been ns little liked iu the middle ages ns it is now, for tbe monk, forgetting the hopelessness of his task, commenced it.
