cluded tto receive the notification of
Madison Square Garden, New York. SGT
Lincoln people Wild. Added to this
was acknowledgements OF Omaha as
official headquarters during the cam.
paiRn, and as consequence many
hearts are down to day. Unless some
tangible contradiction is speedily given
to these rumors It is expected that the
ardor OF many enthusiastic people will
be dampeued.
LOCAL Democrats say he will certainly
remain in Lincoln, but 1t is also known
that they do not speak by the card.
The present attitude of the average
Lincoln man is on the defensive. There
is heavy Republican majority in this
city, but 1t appears to be the aim of all
to speak in the highest terms of the per-
sonal character of Mr.. Bryan, which ia
above reproach, but in decidedly quail
flying tone politically.

Wilmington, Del, July 13.-Senator
Gray said to day in reference to the
Chicago PLATFORM:
This financial plank Of the platform
is contrary to sill my beliefs and to what
consider sound Democracy. I cannot
change these beliefs, even a. the bid

ton. My convictions cannot be COM
promised. The Delaware Democracy Ia
an organization distinct from the ma
tional Democracy and has a history and
traditions OF its own. 1t is too earlv to
say what It's course will be. The Dam.
ocrtcy in this State has always ad, and
is likely to continue to have, strong
sympathy with that OF New York, New
Jersey and Maryland

Congressman William D. Bynum says in

but his views pre- so at variance with
what believe to be for the best inter

candidacy. The influences which domi-
mated the Chicago convention were not
such as can be safely entrusted with the
administration OF the affairs OF this
great country"
