BRYAN TALKS IN TENNESSEE

for Mafne's Leader.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 1e 1s96.-The
crowds are here, and there is noise galore.
Just how much of it is enthusiasm for
the Bryan and Sewall ticket or the one
to be named here and for the Chicago
platform, which is to be endorsed by the
Democracy of the Empire State in lcon-
yention assembled, is hard to say There
are bands and street parades of Tam
many braves; there are hurrahs for
Bryan and free silver, and there are pom
ticians who declare that Mckinley can
not carry New York State, and that
man for Governor is to be named who
will defeat Frank Black Some of these
men attended the Saratoga Convention
IN June and declared for the gold stand
ard then, and some of them were dele
gates to Chicago and fought for sound
money, but most of them are men who
were not prominent in the councils of the
party until within the past few weeks.
So numerous are the new men that,
though all who are on the roll of dele
gates are members of the regular organi-
zation it is a question whether or no
they will obey the orders of the party
leaders. In some respects the conven-
ton resembles the National Assemblage
at Chicago
The. Steering Committee there mapped
out the work for each day in advance,
demolished all the states, named man
from their own midst. who represented
more nearly their ideas than any candi-
date supported by the machine. Here
the. delegates are for free silver almost
without exception, and the majority are
extreme silverites at that. The Steering
Committee of the Convention which met
at Wolferts Roost, and selected John
Boyd Thacher for the head of the
ticket. and decided to give way only par
tally to the free silver sentiment in the
platform, may find themselves unable to
FOIL the machine over the radical element
Mr. Thacher is denounced for having
made a gold speech at Saratoga, for hav-
ing absented himself from Albany when
failed to declare himself for the Chicago
ticket and platform. If he can be forced
on the conyention. four-ffths of whose
