-.,+ several hours to-day at congress
st,nal headquarters, preparing to leave
g. chicago. where, much against his will,
che Prvan headquarters are to be estab-
,.sre5. His troubles are constantly multi
,-,irg and 10 his personal friends he ad-
-,irs that the position Of chairman of the
5smoeratic national committee is heavy
TAX on his patience
when he returned to Washington this
-r,rnipg he found his desk at congress
.-onal headouarters covered with tele-
Grams from various sources, some criu-
,.s.ne him for the committees selections,
made Saturday. There were others who
had suggestions bearing upon the man
aeement Of the campaign, and also some
suggesting that the bride be removed
from Candidate Bryan, so that the latter
might make speeches whenever and Wher-
ever he chose.
Tn the meantime "Silver Dick" Bland
arrived at headquarters from New YORK.
via old Point Comfort. to have private
talk with Chairman Jones about the sit
uation IN Missouri.
Close upon Mr.. Blands heels came Rep
resentative Richards Of Tennessee, who is
expected to be placed in charge of the
Washington branch of the Bryan head
quarters He also was anxious to have
a few suggestions from Chairman Jones
about the conduct of the Washington
4 branch before the senator left for Chi
n cagO. Representative Mcmillan OF Ten
n nCssee. Senator Stewart Of nevada, eA-
a sixth Auditor Dan McConville or ONO ana
a number of democratic visitors hlleq the
a reception room, waiting TO consult Chalr-
man Jones.
4 OF headquarters, Chairman Jones was
/ 0usily occupied with Senator Falkner and
stenographer, trying to straighten out the
4 tangle in which Candidate Bryan mas
himself with regard 10 campaign speech-
es he has promised to make. 1t appears
that there is a lack of harmony or
misunderstanding between the candidate
and the chairman of national committee
as to where speeches are 10 be made.
1t seems that Mr.. Bryan has arranged
several dates without notifying CHAIR
man Jones, and the latter feels that It
is his duty to be fully informed OF all
engagements made by Candidate Bryan
4 throughout the campaign. After consider
able telegraphing between Mr.. Jones ana
Treasurer st. John on the subject, some
of the wrinkle in the Bryan programme
were smoothed out to the satisfaction
least.
Il was decided that Mr. Bryan will
not come TO Washington to make a
speech so the local democracy will have
70 al mr. lfsq
making to give him great send off in
4 this nOn-voting community.
Il is also pretty well understood, now,
a that when Mr. Bryan's vacation is over
4 he will plunge into the campaign and
1 make speeches in Richmond, Va, Allan
Ia. Ga, and probably other southern
cities, in addition to Buffalo, Cleveland,
st. Louis and Baltimore.
The only member of the newly appoint
ed democratic campaign committee to re-
port in person at headquarters was j.
j. Johnson Of Kansas. He came over
from New York this morning and will
proceed TO Chicago with Chairman Jones.
The members are expected to be about
N headquarters and actively engaged.
~ Messrs. Mclean of Ohio Smalley of YER
mont, and Howell of Georgia, will be sta
uoned in Washington, and the other men,
hers at Chicago. They have full charge,
and will take hold at an early day. The
executive committee mas not yet been
agreed upon by the chairman. He Will
reaches Chicago. 1t is not likely that
Gov Stone will be placed on this commit
tee as it has been the GUS
tom to appoint men to that
committee from states where the
nghting is close. At all events he will not
De chairman, for the chairman of the ma
uonal committee, himself, is chairman of
tne executive committee, and Mr.. Jones
does not care to delegate that duty to any
one else.
it has also been settled that there will
he no headquarters of any kind in New
YORK. II Treasurer St John finds 1t inn
possible to go to Chicago, he will remain
81 III New York but his Office there will be
ne only thing approaching headquarters
W uhe metropolis. While the headquar-
terS ot the national committee are in Chi
