THE NETWORK SENATOR.

hope left that they may make even the semblance
OF a showing in the East. After the onghting

at the Madison Square Garden meeting. they Silent
" folded their tents and silently stole away
1t was said that they had abandoned all nope OF
making any Roadway In the East and that they
would go West and take up the cudgels In their
own country The removal OF the National head
quarters to Chicago, the ignoring of ST. John 3
headquarters In the Hotel Bartholdi the abandon
ment of Bryan's proposed trip TO Maine. the sud
den flight of all the Popocratic managers-all
tended to confirm the report Of the evacuation OF
the East
1t was learned yesterday however. that Mr..
Bryan and his friends still longing 70 carry the
war into the "enemys country" and that they
are devisng ways and means by which another
and more effective crusade can be made. To this
end they have fallen back what Is generally
believed to be their only hope and that is the
conversion Of Senator Hill. The NewYork leader
Of the Democracy has openly repudated
the Chicago ticket but If silence gives consent he
has consented to accept and support IT, But the
fear among the Popocratic managers is that silence
does not give consent-at least this time-and
they are trying to have Senator Hill break his
silence and come out for the ticket To this end.

Senator German has been commissioned by the
Popocratic managers to call upon Mr.. Hill and

Ing of the Democratic National Committee and the
Bryan mass-meeting in New-York Senator Jones,
chairman of the committee suddenly turned up
mere one forenoon. He remained only few hours.
and after a consultation with Mr.. ST. John packed

Washington Instead OF going TO Washington he
went to Normandieby-th e-Sea. where Senator Hill
was staying, and mad a long conference with him.
