coin Hotel last night Of the Democratic State
Central Committee attended by Mr.. Bryan.

slider the question OF fusion with the Populists.
The committee spent hour and a half listening
to reports from its members as to the prospects
for Democratic victory In their various districts.

favorable to free coinage. 1t was said that this
was due principally to the fact that nearly all tho
German newspap ers for gold. and suggestions
were made that German speakers and silver cam
naiSn literature In German should be sent to the
towns and settlements having large population
from the Fatherand.
Omaha was selected tho place for holding the
