The San Francisco call., 1896-08-24

free from interruption and from the like
l1hood OF having too much public atten-
ton drawn to their conference. Mr.. Bryan
and Senator Hill have undoubtedly
reached an understanding, through those
who conducted the negotiations for their
consultation, as to the ground on'which
each shall stand when they come together.
With such a foundation to start from they
can perfect any mutual agreement in much
shorter time than they could if there had
been no prearrangement.
When Mr.. Bryan leaves Winnisook
Lodge Tuesday afternoon he will be more
familiar with what the Democratic State
organization proposes with regard to his
candidacy. Chairman Hlnkley will in all
likelihood make him better acquainted
with the position Senator Hill intends TO
assume. Mr.. Hill and Major Hlnkley
stand very close to each other in political
matters, and the belief has been that the
State chairman has been authorized to
speak with some degree OF authority for
the Senator. That visit to Winnisook
Lodge will extend from to- morrow evening
until the next afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs Bryan Will say goodby to
Upper Red Hook at noon tomorrow and
proceed to Rhinecliffe by carriage. A tug
will be at Rhinecliffe at O'Clock to carry
them across the Hudson at Rondout,
where they are to take train for Big In
dian, from which place they will drive to
Winnisook Lodge. Tuesday they will
leave Winnisook Lodge in time TO catch
thu New York Central train arriving in
Albany at :05 P. M, and will start for
Syracuse at Z :55.
Mr.. Bryan attended services at the
Dutch Reformed Church in Upper Red
Hook this morning in company with Mr..
Perrine. There was no unusual crowd
present.
Rev. 6. D. Lydecker, the Spastor of the
church, conducted the services, and in his
prayer thus referred to Mr.. Bryan: "And
specially bless thy servant whom we have
in our midst, thy honored servant. Fill
him with wisdom and power for the anx-
ieties and fatigues of the coming DAYS and
fill him with hope and confidence in all
thy purposes concerning him and these
people," The sermon was preached by
DR.. Robert II. Barr of the Associated Re-
formed Church OF Newburg. He made no
direct reference to the Democratic candi-
datenor to the political situation.
After the services both ministers came
down from the pulpit and shook hands
with Mr.. Bryan, many OF the congregation
following their example.
The position taken by President Lewis
Miller of the Chautauqua Assembly con-
corning the report that the Democratic
candidate would speak at Chautauqua
next Sunday. is indorsed by Mr..
Bryan. Several newspapers contain
a statement from President Miller
denying that Mr. Bryan would
speak there, unless an arrangement could
be made to have Major Mckinley appear,
and when this was shown Mr. Bryan he
said:
II shall not speak there. Being inter-
ested in Chautauqua work my wife and
will avail ourselves of the opportunity to
see the parent association. The work OF
the association is non-partlsan and the
president is quite right in saying that
neither candidate should speak there un-
less both are invited"
number of people called at the Per-
rine residence to-day to see Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan presented them with
buttons bearing the picture of the candi-
date.
