BRYAN FORCES MEET.
Sixty Delegates Mustered at Con-
ference In the Nebraskan's
Behalf.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 19.-An impetus
was given to the Bryan boom tonight at
meeting held at the Lindell Hotel. About
sixty delegates were present. The pur-
pose OF the meeting was to consolidate the
Bryan men in the different delegations.
Some speakers showed that the sentiment
for Bryan among their colleagues was gen.
orally favorable, while the delegates from
Kansas, Oklahoma, Maryland, Pennsyl-
valia. Nevada and the District of Column
bia asserted that their delegations would
vote as unit for the Democratic candi-
date. Another meeting will be held at 9
O'Clock tomorrow morning, at which
definite programme will be agreed upon.
To-night's meeting was presided over by
General Weaver of Iowa. II. w. Yonge of
Kansas was secretary and the assistant
secretaries were Messrs. F. L. Bailey of
Oklahoma and Benton Maret of Nebraska.
Senator Peffer and Ex-Governor Lewelling
of Kansas were among those present. Mr..
Bailey, who is an ardent Bryan man, in
formed the United Press reporter subse-
quently that the reports made this even
ing indicated Bryan's nomination by the

The Ham burg Correspondent says tnaS
although exhibitors are fatlgued with ex-
'hibitions, particularly after thelr e4peih- ?t
ence at the Worlds Fair in Chicago, 1t IS
an act of political courtesy and wouIo tes-
tify to the friendly disposition OF Germany
toward France if Germany would take
large part in the exhibition.
The Hamburger Nachrlchten, IN an ar
ticle written in q thoroughly Bismarckia!n
vein, refers to Germany's taxing part IN
the exhibition as necessary. Germans,
the paper says. should certainly do SO un-
less their own interests are to be neglecteu.
.tNobody.n il adds, "can even remotely
foretell what may happen to france pe-
fore 1900. German people ought noO 70
show disposition to cultivate the french.
1t is sentiment thrown away, is received
with scant courtesy and does not aoate the
yehemence of their desire for revenge. IL

number of votes cast by each party at the
last election, then divide the electors, CIV
ing to each party according to the votes
shown, all to go on the party's tickets hav-
ing the highest number of votes cast in
the State. Alter the election these electors
shall meet in each State and reapportion
the votes of the electors according to
the votes cast for the head of the State
ticket IN each State, they to cast their
votes for President as follows: In case the
Democrats have more than either the
Peoples or the Prohibitionists, they to get
the prey, and if the Populist party comes
in second, they to have Vice-Presidency,
and vice versa: then all of the votes OF
Democrats, Peoples party men and Prohi-
bitionists TO be cast in the electoral college
as stated.
Under this scheme every vote for silver
would count. Of course in many OF the
States the electoral ticket would be prac-
tically the Democratic ticket, while In
States already carried by the Peoples
party the electoral ticket would be prac-
tically Peoples party. In the Western
States, according to last falls election, the
Democrats had 443,000 votes. while the
Populists had So, 900; in the South they
have about 900, 900 to our 600, 900. It can
be seen that under this plan we Populists
could in effect unite with all the silver
elements against the gold men and still
not sacrifice our party organization. This
is what we desire to do.
"Again, it is plain to be seen that at the
close of the campaign, with the silver
question settled, our reform press can at
once take up the Cover m mt ownership
and other issues, including the non-inter-
est bond to educate the people and pre-
pare them for greater achievements for
years hence as they have been educated
upon silver during the past few years. /
am hopeful that the delegates will see the
great advantage for after election pur-
poses alone OF incorporating my bills in
the platform"
Governor Lewelling of Kansas arrived
here to-day. He is out for Bryan and says
that there is no question but that he will
be indorsed by the Populists.
Some of our people favor the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Bryan, but don't agree with
them. l think we can indorse him, how
ever. That will give general satisfaction
all around. The Kansas delegation is for
him. It will not necessarily disrupt our
party 10 indorse Mr.. Bryan He is highly
esteemed and will doubtless receive the
vast majority of Populist's votes in our
State" FRANK MCGUIRE.

PORTLAND, Or, July 19.-MeIvin G.
Winstock, a prominent Seattle lawyer
politician, said to-day:
1--WE intend to elect John II. McGraw,
a gold-standard man, to the Senate this
fall. This will, however, not be accom-
plished without the most momentous
struggle in our political history. A num-
Der of men who have always been more
devoted to the pursuit of Office than to the
advocacy of principles calculated to pro-
mote the country's best good have bolted
the party. The worship of the silver calf
has turned many head, but we depend
on the peoples strong common sense and
native wit to win our victory. Each man
has resolved to do personal work in the
campaign, which is already on, and we
don't intend TO be defeated.
There is strong talk among Senator
Squire's friends that he will shortly arrive
in Seattle and will announce his union
with the ex-Republicans east of the noun
tains who have declared for Bryan and
silver. The McGraw men desire nothing
better than this. 1t will simplify the issue
in King County. The McGraw Senatorial
Club has now 1900 mem bers, most of whom
reside in King County,"

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE,
" LarrrNrcrnNI u n Oct OR 1909

E. g. Wilson, TopekG-MY DEAR WILSON:
thank you for the suggestions contained In
your letter. 1 have not left the Democratic
party, but am ready to do so as soon as am
satisfied that it, as party, is welded to the
gold standard. Until that time it is not neces-
sary to discuss the merits or dement's of the
Populists. There are some things in their
platform, however, which I do not and will
not favor. but the Populists at their worst are
not as dangerous to the Government as the
plutocratic wing of both old parties The
Democratic party has always represented
those who believe in popular government and
in bringing that government as near as posi-
BILE TO the people. If the Democratic party de-
serts its principles the losses will go to the in
dependent party and moderate their ideas and
make them a power for good. Thanking you
for the friendly interest which you manifest, I
am very truly yours, w. ]. BRYAN.
