Democratic Orators Coming.

One week from tonight the U. of M. Democratic club, assisted by the Democrats of Washtenaw county, will have a grand mass meeting in University Hall, at which time Hon. W. J. Bryan, the eloquent advocate of tariff reform, will reply to the sophisms which Gov. McKinley uttered on the same spot just a month ago. Mr. Bryan has secured an enviable reputation for himself as one of the ablest debaters in the present Congress, as an orator and as one of the ablest supporters of tariff reform. Besides Mr. Bryan several other noted Democratic orators will be present, among them being Hon. Frank Hurd, who will preside at the meeting and deliver a brief address. It is desired that a large crowed be present and it is hoped that all Democrats will turn out to hear the address.
