BRYAN MEN CONFER.
Speakers Urge the Importance OF
Nominating the Statesman
From Nebraska.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 20.-The Bryan
element held meeting at late hour this
aftern con, which was attended by mem
bers of the most prominent Populists in
the city. Among those present were SEN
ator Stewart of Nevada, ex-Congres
Harris of Kansas, General Weaver of Iowa,
Senator Allen of Nebraska, ex-Congress-
man Jerry Simpson OF Kansas, Captain
Kolb of Alabama, Delegate Quinn of Wash
ington and Thomas NJ. Patterson of Colo
RADIO.
The Importance of nominating Mr..
Bryan was urged upon the meeting by
several of the speakers. Some of the
Southern men who spoke and who are
known personally to object to Mr.. Bryan S
nomination frankly admitted that his
Endorsement by the convention would be
satisfactory to their people.
Mr.. Harris of Kansas asserted that a
majority of the delegates favor Mr.. Bryan
and that in Kansas he will secure 80 per
cent of the Democratic vote and prac-
ticaIly all of the boiling Republicans and
Populists. Other gentlemen assert that
the Populists would generally vote for
Bryan whether this convention indorsed
him or not.
1t was finally decided that special con-
nittee should be appointed TO visit the
several State delegations and that every
means should be used to promote his in

rather philosophically, though regretfully.

JONES AT THE HELM.
Presents Plan of Division by
Which He Hopes to Ensnare
the PopulistS.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July Ex-senator Jones
of Arkansas, who is engineering the Bryan
boom, was receiving all the morning in
his headquarters at the Planters Hotel
number of the more prominent Populists
who desire Bryan's nomination by their
convention. The proposition which Jones
advances is this: In return for the Popu-
list and silver Republican support one
member of each party will be placed on
the Democratic National Executive Com
mittee. In the States where the Populists
greatly outnumber the Democrats the
Populists are to control the nominations
tor Congress and State officers. In other
States, where the strength of the two par
ties is more uniform a satisfactory ar
rangement will be made with respect to
the State Congressional tickets, the pur-
pose in each being to secure the election of
free silver representatives to the House.
The scheme finds great favor with such
Populists as Jones has consulted. Jones
insists that not only shall Bryan be nomi-
mated but SewalI as well. He refuses to
entertain any proposition that looks to
the nomination of Bryan and the repudia-
ton of the Democratic nominee for the
second place on the ticket.
Senator Jones sent for Jerry Simpson.
with other Populist leaders, and explained
to him something in detail of the propo-
sails and plans he bad to submit. Gov
ernor Stone of Missouri was present, also
T. M. Patterson, head of the contesting
| Colorado o delegation for seats in the Popu-
list convention. Senator Jones said that
the important thing was that the cam
paign should be conducted not only har-
moniousiy, but unitedly by all the silver
forces, and to that end he pledged him
self, should the convention in St. Louis
| this week indorse or nominate BRYAN and
| Sewaii, to appoint as members of the
Democratic National Executive Committee
in charge of the campaign a representa-
tive each of the Populisss and National
Silver parties. The adopting of this, it
was explained, would be that these repre-
| sentatives, together with one of the Demo-
| cratic party on the executive committee,
could go to States where it was necessary
to make an adjustment of local matters
| growing out OF the division of voters and
execute that adjustment with satisfaction
to all parties; and it would be binding on
all.
Governor Stone. it is said, added his in
dorsement to the pledge by Senator
Jones.
This conference lasted an hour or more,
and a knowledge of what occurred and
the promise made had an exhilarating ef-
feet upon the effort to secure the indorse-
ment or nomination of Bryan by the Pop
| uli st convention.
The Kansas delegation was the first to
hold NEE ting and 60 on record regard
ing its choice for President. The express
sion, however, was only infor NAL, mas
much as only thirty-two OF the eighty-two
delegates from tine State were present.
Twenty eight of them were for Bryan and

mings. The presentation of forty-seven
proxies and the fixing up of the roll took
some time and during the process little

Enthusiastic Republicans Organise TO,
The CQnpQf0n.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, July 20.-There
was an enthusiastic gathering of Repub-
licans at Masonic Hall tonight. They
met for the purpose of permanently organ
iZing Mckinley club. The organization
was effected with that dispatch which
characterizes Santa Cruz. The work of or
ganization was far more important than
speechmaking, and only enough was said
by the speakers to show the strong enthu-
siasm for the Republican ticket. The
speecbmaking will follow this very effect
i've organization, and Santa Cruz Counly
will do good work for the man who stands
for protection and prosperity.
The Santa Cruz City band was en-
ployed to lend the charm of music to the
routine of business, and patriotic airs
were played as an Introductory to the
meeting. The business of the meeting
was presented by L. ]. Dake and L. s.
West, of the committee on permanent
organization, in timely but brief addresses
upon the Importance OF earnest work,
that the Republican organization might
be not only kept alive but made TO become
q power for good in the present campaign.
The Mckinley Club had further aims,
they said, than the mere bringing together
of the county Republican organizations.
1t would seek to educate the young men
in Republicanism.
A resolution was adopted admitting to
honorary membership young men from
eighteen to twenty-one years of age. The
organization was perfected by the election
of the following officers: President, w.
H. Galbraith; vice-president, w. H.
Lamb; secretary, George Stanley; treas
urer, Fred Mcpherson; executive commit.
tee. S. West, w. H. Bias. j. G. Collins,

! A large number of the audience an
nounced desire to sign the constitution
and they were accommodated. The exec
utive committee will see to the preparation
of copies of the constitution for sigma
lures. 1t anticipates large addition by
the time of the next meeting, which will

cured; the appropriations for Alviso and
Redwood City creeks, which he secured,
and other large State appropriations which
he got through his committee and which
were finally passed. The speaker knew
Clunie to have been true to every public
and private trust placed in him. He es-
pecially appealed to the Santa Clara dele
CATION to remember the benefits Clunie
had won for its community and declared
him to be a foe to corporate greed and
aggregated wealth.
Ex-Judge Walter H. Levy placed Joseph
P. Kelly in nomination in a vigoro us
speech, in which he recalled the vigorous
fight in hopeless campaign which Kelly
made two years ago, and said that Kelly
was Native Son, a brilliant man and one
deserving well of the party.
Eugene n. Deuprey nominated james
II. Barry in an eloquent speech, in the
course of which he quoted the motto at
the head OF Barry's Star: "Gainst the
