Things Bryan Would Forget.
Tho most Important, becauso tho
most curiously novel, feature of Mr.
Bryan's address is his apotheosis of
tho party platform. A new doctrine of
Infallibility Is embodied in theso sen
tences at tho very beginning of Mr.
Bryan's speech:
A platform Is binding as to what It
omits as well as to what It contains.
A platform announces a party's posi
tion ou the questions which arc at is
sue, and an olliclal is not at liberty to
use the authority vested In him to urge

read :
Tho general election shall be held bien
nially on the Tuesday next following th

disavow certain "omitted issues," such
ns free silver, government ownership

er theories which at times he sanction
ed ovefliastlly in tho past. But he is

numbered year, but the General Assembly

The marked transition, of the present day Rain Coat from the
ill fitting and unsightly "Gossamer" or "Gum Coat" of a decade ago,
is plainly demonstrated here in the most extensive showing of liaiii
Coats we have ever m ide. The Dame, now, ia, iu a sense, a misno
mer, whereas the old-time Rain Coat was a coat to.be worn only as a
protection against rain; the coat of to-day is worn nut aloue for that
purpose but takes the place of the regular coat and is now much
worn as an evening coat, instead of an opera cloak. Certain loose
fitting styles are especially adaptable for that purpose.
The finest cloths and silk are, by a secret process, cravouettod,
which makes them water proof. They are designed artistically,
handsomely tailored aod possess a degree of dressy elegance that fits
them admirably to be worn as an evening wrap. We predict the
