ECHOES OF CONVENTION
Bryan and Sewall to Be Notified
In New York.
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN FOR SILVER.


War Into the Camp of the Enemy-The
Campaign TO Open with a Meeting at
Madison Square Gardep--HiiI Won't Bolt
ALBANY, July l3. Senator David B.
I'm is hard at work attempting TO crack
the hardest political nut that he has ever
handled, although he has frequently snc-
ceoned In breaking some very hard ones.
The senator has decided to support the
ticket, but will not indorse the entire pat
form adopted at the Chicago convention.
In the statement which the senator Is
preparing and Which he expects to give TO
tho public on Wednesday,, he will attempt
TO show a way for eastern Democrats TO
vote for Bryan and Sewall and yet oppose
the Chicago platform. This problem is
not yet thoroughly worked out in the sen
ator's own mind.
Upon the currency question the senator
will fall back on the lines OF his Emira
speech, bat lie Will speak about an inter
national bimetallio agreemert In the most
emphatic terms. Then he will refer to
his record on the income tax. After reit-
erntinR his position upon these questions
he will pay his respects to Mckinley and
the members Of the syndicate that controls
him. He will hold Mckinley responsible
for most Of the distress experienced by the
people OF the west and south.
Then Mckinley and Bryan will bo com
pared to the great advantage Of the latter.
The senator will take it for granted that
Nav York will go for sound money any
way, and therefore the party organization
should be maintained in order that sound
money Democrats can be elected to con
gross
Senator Hill will hold that the currency
question cannot be made party one, but
must be finally disposed OF by the oon-
servative element of each party in con
gress. SO, eyenif Bryan were elected q
good representation Of sound money Dem
ocrats IN congress would be all the more
necessary. BY reviewing the record OF the
Republican party In the state and nation
the senator Will argue that the preserva-
tion OF the party is necessary to the welfare
OF the country
OF course these are only the rough out
lines Of what Senator Hill will have to say
Positive information has reached here
that senator Murphy and Senator Cor
man Of Maryland fully agree with Sena-
tor Hill, and that they will come ont in
due time for Bryan and Sewall, but will
not indorse the platform.
While speaking of Bryan, Senator Muir
ply is credited with the significant re-
mark, Power brings conservatism
It is understood that Mr.. Whitney Is
not Inclined to go as far as Senator Hill
in support Of the ticket.
