Issued a statement In an swer te certain charges with refer ence to the manner In which the adop tion were made, published In certain state papers. The recent charge consisted In the statement that after all the bids for hooks had been opened and consider cd, the American Book Company wu allowed to reduce It* price on readers by a supplement bid, which wu un dated, and that the same opportunity wu wu given to other bidder* The fact In the cue la that the Lee readers, ottered by tne American Book Company, were adopted for the third, fourth and nfth books, and all other books In this class offered were rejected. It wu then that the com pany wu asked by the commission to reduce Its price, and it did aa The reduction, at the request ot the com mission, waa put In writing. The members ot the state text-book commission are Governor Terrell, Comptroller General William A. Wright, Secretary of Stare Phil Cook, Attorney General John C. Hart and State 8chool commissioner W. B. Merritt Some.of the members were very much wrought up over the charg es and were anxious to make a pretty strong reply.

In 1802 the democratic party collected a large campaign fund from the corporations. It spent more than $1,000,000 In the two atates of New York and Indiana alone, ud what wu the result ? The moet plutocratleit admlMstratioa this country had ever known. We witness ed* surrender to organised and preda tory wealth ao abject and so complete that seven years of exile from power have not entirely removed the stain from tbe party. “You uk why I am opposed to the reorganisation of the democratic par ty?

When the nut democratic conven tion undertake! to writ* a new plat form. it will find the lut one a model of clearness and conciseness and of square dealing, ud I hope that the delegates to the convention will be In structed by tho various atates to In dorse. 'And bow about cudldatea? It doss not matter much what the name of the presidential candidate Is, but It does matter what he stands for, ud In what direction he la going to lead tbe party. Let the republlcu party be challenged to meet the moral Issue presented—this Is democratic, this is patriotic.' Mr. Bryan departed frequently from the text ot the address. Alluding to open tale of votes which he aald existed In Delaware, Mr Bryu aald: It la this commercialism that la de bauching oUr nation ud betraying onr country.
