Populist conventions in st. Louis, re-
turned 70 the city, this morning A
United Press reporter asked him what
Importance attached to the published
report, today, that Chairman Jones OF
the Democratic national committee
and Governor Stone of Missouri, were
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of with
drawing Bryan's name from the Popu-
list ticket. Mr. Stewart said:
None whatever. Neither Chair
man Jones, nor Bryan. nor any other
individual can prevent the PopuIists
from using Bryan's name and voting
for him The people have some rights
as well as the candidates. The vast
majority of the Populists are friends
of Bryan. and will do everything in
their power to secure his election. They
Will present nothing to him for ac-
ceptance or rejection to give the
enemy an opportunity to divide the
friends of financial reform Bryan's
record is all the platform any true
financial reformer can possibly desire. -
Will any communication be made
by the Populist leaders of the conven-
ton to Mr.. Bryan
II see no propriety in communicating
to Bryan what occurred at st. Louis at
the Populist convention, or calline
upon him to discuss the Populist plat
form. Any proceeding of that kind
could have but one object namely, To
embarrass him. The Populists who
voted for him in convention don't want
to defeat him. 1t is their desire to
elect him..
You can have no doubt, then" Sen
ator Stewart was asked, that the
Populists will cheerfully cooperate
with the Democrats for this purpose"

afternoon. by an ambulance. in which Mr.
Vanderbilt was driven slowly to his
house. The ambulance. a Berlin coach
with swinging cot in it. was brought
here from New York. because the city

easy enough.
AT The Breakers there is no special eff

natural consequence of the journey. had
gone to sleep an hour after his arrival,
and was in ii very comfortable condition.
DIR. McLane went on to say that no better
day could have been selected for the trip,
and he thought Mr.. Vanderbilt really en-
joyed.
OF course. he was unable to sit up. but
he was sensible of the fact that he was
on the water. as well as coming to New
port. and it seemed to please him. He
was, however unable to sleep on the
yacht.
DR.. McLane stated emphatically that he
looked for no reaction as consequence
of the journey except the natural weari-
ness. which had already been experienced
and had resulted in the patient going to
sleep. 1t is understood that Dr. McLane
will remain here for some time. He said
that the Conqueror came through the
Sound under natural draus- IN very
smooth water. III just 10 hours.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and DIR. McLane were
by the patients bedside all the way COM
ing up the Sound. He spoke occasionally
of the passage. assuring those about him
that he was feeling very comfortable.
The men who handled him here were sent
DIP from New York especially for that
purpose. in which they are trained.
