Bynum expects the delegates and

1000 people. 1t is the intention of the
management to accommodate all the

in view the tickets are being carefully
guarded and none will be distributed
for local use until the visitors are
provided for. From some of the states
a considerable number of sympathizers
with the movement are expected. The
rooms at the leading hotels are all en-

present expectations of the managers
will be realized From the list of del

prominent leaders OF the party will be

Cleveland, Aug 3l.-The supreme lodge

quest for the restoration of the German

BRYAN HAp A vERY BUSY WEEK.


and Disaster.
Jamestown, N. Y, Aug. Sl.-Mr. and
Mrs. w. j. Bryan enjoyed day OF ease
yesterday after week of campaigning
which has included speeches In the largest
inland cities Of the state In two or three
farming centers and many short ones
from car platforms. Two or three and
some times more long speeches have ben
made by Bryan each day and the intervals
between have been spent in travelling y
train or by carriage. Every morning has
seen him up at o'clock and not before /
has he been able to secure sleep.
The week with him was one OF un-
remitting turmoil. pushing through
crowds, riding after brass bands, with
fireworks flying or cannon roaring In
his ears. Even in the quieter moments
at hotel tables and in car seats there
have always been a dozen people at
his elbow to shake hands, TO try to
talk politics or tell him how the cam
paign must be run. He has even had
to WELD a fork with the left hand
while writing autographs with the
right. Despite this continuous strain
Bryan was looking as fresh as a week
ago when he appeared in the hotel
dining room yesterday morning. His
wife and he went TO church in the
morning and to Lakewood in the after
noon.
The most thrilling time he had last
Celeron, on Lake Chautauqua. Here
the hall was so full-aisle and all-that
there was hardly room TO turn round.
There were thousands outside trying
to get in. Viewed from the platform
the whole auditorium was a struggling
mob. while overhead men chung like
monkeys TO the rafters. Women were
shrieking, and on the platform the few
ladies there sat with white faces. Mrs.
Bryan smiled nervously for 1t looked
as though the people below would be
pushed on the stage.
Danger Of panic and an awful disaster
was imminent until It was announced
that Sibley would address an overflow
meeting. Then number Of people went
out and the pressure from outside WAS
withdrawn and the danger wa, past.
This morning brief visit will be made
to Chautauqua, there will be a speech at
Ripley and then a dash for Cleveland, O.,
where Bryan will speak tonight.

to the outlook for the Chicago conven-

Il frankly admit said Senator Smith
to me. that the silver men will have
a majority in the Chicago Convention.
I hope and look forward to something
else, however than the adoption of a
radical free coinage plank It is my
opinion that when the leaders gather to-
gether at Chiago they will be able to
agree upon some plan with will be salts
factory to all Democrats, and upon which
all of us can honestly stand. There are
many silver Democrats who are ready
to agree to a platform that will recos~
nize both silver and gold and in my
opinion the adoption of such plank
will be the outcome of the convention.
If Senator James Smith can so arrange
his business affairs that they will permit
a prolonged absence from home, he will
probably recuperate from his Senatorial
labors in Europe, returning in October.
