The date of Mr.. Bryau's coming to this
T cityis, a S has been announced in The Times.
the 18th instant, the change from tie
18th having teen made by Mr.sBryan to
| the former date, and so given 10 tl.ti.:ess
scIue da Us ago when ne was about to leave
/ for lincoln. That Mr.. Bryan has not
changed his mind is evidenced by his re-
/ ply TO a atelcgram of one of the local central
committee that he would be here posi-
lively on the 10Th.
. The central Democratic committee will
meet tonight to discuss the plans for the
reception and the demonstration. 1t has
heretofore been deemed best not to have
a street parade, but the idea has taken
root again and is talked OF a one OF the
probable features OF the event. Another
matter which will Ec definitely fixed upon
at ths meeting will be the place OF The
speaking.
There mas been an understanding that the
affair would lie held a Convention Hall.
but several OF the menbe rs of the committee
said yesterday that the prct ability was
that the committee would decide in favor
of National Baseball Park. The reason for
the change is that there would be great
many disappointed at Convt ntion Hall.
IN THE PITCHERS BOX.
The arrangements had already progressed
so far as that about onc-fourth OF the seat
ing capacity had been reserved and the
rest was 10 be left free to tie fist Coincrs.
Ii is said that the National Park will he
the better place because there will bc no
crowding out of the earGes; folks who want
to attend by the element that will take
nontcrestin the proceedings, but Who won .
all the same unnecessarily crowd the hal.
The chief reason. however. for the change
is because the crowd will be much larger
than they anticipated. Letters have been
received from several Of the nearby pre-
cipcss asking what would lie The chance
OF visitors from the country being provided
with seats, but all the reply that cCcd lie
made was lt1at the first to come would
have the right of way. The baseball park
is supposed TO be big enough 10 accuiriao-
date a much larger crowd than viii cjinc
here Oh the 10th. The seating capacity CT
the park is about IL ,oGO, hit as il is pro-
posed to place the speakers stand in the
YiciOity Of the pitchers lox ample room
win be had for nearly 20. Geo. II is evi-
dent tbatthe localmana gers expect a crowd

WATSON WILL BE HERE.
One of the interesting possibilities If
this meeting is that Tom Watson will lie
here about, and most probably on the day
OF the demonstration. Strangely enJrgh,
this news comes from New York. where
IL is announced that Watson will .er-
tdiDly DE wien Bryan reaches that city.
II was announced this week in The Timcs
that Watson would come 10 Washington
on his Eastern trip, and the news fr"rn
New York is POINTER that Watson viii
be close behind, or even with Bryan IN
his present tolr in the East
Mr.. Watson's itinerary will he de:i.nrr!y
arranged after his return from Kansas,
where he is going TO make war on :, 9ll
and 10 upset the arrangement there eX-

WAS given to Bryan and Scwal in eX-
change for the whole state ticket l- n to
the Populists
At reported aboIt the Peoples Party
headquarters tiat an opportunity viii be
accorded Mr.. Watson to speak in WASH
ihgtJn. altEoIg;i that talk will most likely
take Ilacc on d different night from that
ON which Mr.. BRYAN speaSs. At present
Nj. Bryan and Nj. WATSON ar, on fairly good
tcr-rls bat sudden change may be ex-
pcctei IL Mr. Bryan either dpdges his duty
in replying to The Peoples Party nomina-
tInn or puts a Sight UPON Mr. Watson.
II is certain that the Peoples Party will
