Bryan Forces Ear In the Lead.
St. Louis, July 24.-The disorganized
condition of the middle. of.the-road forces
last evening and their failure to perfect
arrangements for fight in the conven-
tion indicate complete sweep to-day by
the Bryan forces. The leaders we're con-
fident this morning that they would be
able to secure an Endorsement for Sewall
as we'll as Bryan.
That Texas, Georgia, part of North
Carolina, part of California, and portions
of delegations from other southern states
will bolt Bryan and Sewall and name an
other ticket seems foregone conclusion.
There was more procrastination at the
silver convention to-day, the leaders de-
Gliding that nothing could be done until
the conference committee reported.
