BRYAN NONCOMMITTAL-
Savs He Can Not Name the Dem
ocratic Candidate in 1904,
Cleveland,Qliio January s—As5 —As the
guest of Mayor Tom L. Johnson,
Hon. W. J. Bryan spent today
and will remain in this city until
tomorrow morning, when he goes
to Wooster Ohio, to speak at a Jack
son day banquet tomarrow night.
Concerning the democratic plat
form, Mr. Bryan said he thought it
too early to forecast such a docu
ment. but believed the party
would stand by what it has
fought for in the past two cam
paigns and that the money plank
will be included in the platform.
Regarding his own candidacy lor
the presidency, Mr. Bryan said that
he was not a candidate for anything.
Asked if he considered Mayor Tom
L. Johnson the logical candidate
for the democratic nomination for
the presidency in 1904, Mr.
Bryan said: There is nobody in
the United States who is at present
qualified to name the democratic
candidate It would hardly' be prop
er for me to assume the right to dis
cuss any pai ticular candidate
at present. This-is because lam
not prepared to discuss the relative
merits of men who might be asso
ciated with the democratic nomina
tion. As far as Mr Johnson is con
cerned, every well informed man in
the country' knows of Mr Johnson
and of his work; hut when you
crme to discuss presidential pos
..pbillities, that is another question

OH) SERIES—2I ST YEAR

One of Bartow’s Bachelors Tak69
a Life Partner.
Tfie last issue of the Eilijay

recLiit marriage:
Op Monday, D'ye. 30th, 1901,
Mr. “Okie’’ Hannah, of Bartow
county, 4nd Mi.-s Rvdia Statuev, ot
Gilmer, county, were, after ; sprue
procrastination, happily married at
. Cassville, Ga.
The groom is a well respected
farmer of Bartow county, and the
bride is the daughter of Fk C. Sta
nley, a farmer of Gilmer county.
The groom has been a c'vil and
peaceable bachelor for a number ot
years, waiting and v ..Idling the
coming of a “better half.”
The bride left Gfilmer about the
first of October to visit her brother
in Bartow, and after spending a
sho.rt time, there she formed an ac
quaintance with Mr. Hannah, who,
by Lis winning ways and conver
sation, won hei affections. He be
ing tired of single life, came with
a swelling heart to lay his plans
and pleadings before her for con
sideration, which was amicably
done in his favor.
They were expecting to be
joined in the holy bonds on Sun
day, but owing to the inclemency
of the weather they were forced to
wait until Monday, when, by the
kind assistance of friends and
neighbors,,they weie prepared, and
the procession started for Cass
ville, where they met Esq Hawkes,
who immediately made them hap
py by the pronunciation, “Man
and wife.”
May their lives be crowned with
happiness and success, so that
when they have reached a ripe old
age they can look back and say
that marriage is not a failure.
Jake.
