Leaving this city the tracks of the West

to the south, crossing the Reading road
at an obtuse angle. Jonn Greiner the

the meeting at Madison Square Garden
where he will be notified of his nomina-

of the Bryan and Sewall ticket in the
campaign.

If Mr.. Bryan has come to any conclu.

he has given no inkling of his intentions
aud the general belief here is the matter
now rests for settlement with Senator
Jones and the national Democratic com.

Fusion between the Democrats and

Nebraska and tho county conventions Of
the Populists held yesterday confirm
this view.
The conventions indicate desire or
the part Of the Populists to support the
Bryan and Sewall ticket In preference
to that with Watson as Bryan's partner
in consideration of Democratic support
for the Populist state ticket
The most important convention of the
Populists yesterday Yves that in Otoe
county, the home of Secretary Morton,
where a committee was appointed TO
confer with the Democratic managers
with that end in view.
Secretary Morton's alleged candidacy
for the Presidency on gold platform
has not created much OF a stir in Lincoln,
but local Democrats are looking forward
with interest to ths meeting of the gold
wing OF the party TO be held IN Omaha.
President Harwood of the First nation
al bank in Lincoln, and District Attor-
ney Sawyer, whose residence is here, but
whose office is In Omaha, appear to be the
leaders in the movement to nominate a
second ticket, but so far have not told
their plans.
Secretary Morton who is in Nebraska
city, announces that he will make q
speech there Saturday night unless called
to Washington, and will outline his posit-
ion ON the financial question. 1t Is re-
ported here that he will take advantage
of the occasion to state his views with
regard to the mention of his name in
connection with gold ticket.

to consult with MIR. Bryan before the lat
ter leaves for the east. 1t is also probable
