planted in the Chicago Convention by the Bryan
delegates. He explained that he was In Chicago
on his way East to meet his family returning
from Europe and unable to attend the
Convention here He added:
Before leaving Omaha I had a conference with
some leading Democrats. but no definite conclusion
was reached to what was best to do. caL
safely say that the leading Democrats OF our city
and State view the recent action OF the National
Convention at Chicago in a very serious light and
are much In fear that great harm has come TO
the Democratic organization thereby.
II seems to me must have ticket that we
must have standa rd- bearers and they must be men
whom We recognize representing the real Demo-
cratic party. Whatever action Is taken by your
conference I have doubt will be acauiesced In

amount may be increased TO S15,OO0,OOO II 1t
shall be found that the first named sum Is not

FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE.
The committee will fix the rates for sales and
purchases Of bills. II is said that there Is no
possibility OF a loss on the undertaking. On the
contrary there must inevitably be a profit as

cessity keep thoroughly posted on commercial ar
fairs say that cotton will be sent forward fast
as It is ginned. Money is needed by the planters
and. for another thing. these will be urged
promptly 10 sell their cotton 10 the merchants
to whom they are indebted The course Of the
merchants will be prompted by the banks from
which they have borrowed money
II seems 10 be pretty we'll understood that any
