DAVE HILLS POSITION
RumOrS That He Will Support
Bryan Continue to Be
Circulated.
The Senator Saying Nothing,
However. One Way or
the Other.
Nebraskan Receiving Many IN
Vitations to Speak in
the East.

UPPER Red HOOK. \. Z, AUG, a.
Every indication here has been toward
what is & settled fact. that William J.
Bryan expects and has been assured Of
Eastern support. Letters continue to
pour in asking him to speak at Eastern
points, and if the requests Were needed
he could spend the entire time from
now until election day i'll New York
state. Nearly every city of any size
between New York and Chicago has
asked him to make a stop, and. without
exception, tue invitations have come
from leaders of Democratic %organiza-
tons.
Mr.. Bryan showed no surprise at the
newspaper stories that the New York
Democratic state organization
Had Decided to Support Him.
He did reflect a little bit upon the state
ment that Senator Hill had told Mr..
Danforth that he would support and
work for him Bryan. He said in re-
1ation to that question: 1T is not Sen
ator Hills custom to speak through 9TH
ers, and I doubt if Mr.. Danforth gave
out a statement purportlng 10 De maze
by Senator Hill. The senator will
probably make his own announce
ment."
The receipt of a letter from Leader
Sheehan of Tammany Hall asking Mr..
Bryan to speak III New York added an
other chain to the circumstances lead
ing up to proof Ct a thorough under
standing between Mr.. Bryan and the
New York Democracy.

THE IDAHO COMBINE.
Populists Finally Satisfied With the
Division of Offices.

BOISE. Ida. Aug. 24.-The Demo-
cratic and Populist state conventions
have not yet completed their work. the
Populists having made very little prog
ress during the day. The conference
committee reported the division Of
Offices, also that the fused party be
called the Peoples Democratic party.
The arrangement respecting the United
States senator does not please the Pop
ulists and they have spent the entire
day trying to get it Strengthened out,
the last demand being that the Demo-
Gratis shall agree to support a nan
selected by the Populist Legislative eau
Gus. The Populists did nothing more
than to adopt their platform. 1t is de-
voted entirely to state matters. The
Democratic convention has gone ahead
faster. 1t has adopted a platform and
nominated R. P. Quarles of Salmon for
supreme judge and Frank ~Stuenenberg
Of Caldwell for governor.
At the evening session the Democrats
notified the Populists they would ac-
cede to the last demand. The Popu-
lists at once receded and fusion was
closed up. Nominations are now pro-
crossing.

RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH
Citizens Have a Right to Discuss Politics
on Street Corners.

Citizens Have a Right to Discuss Politics
on Street Corners.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 24.-For 10 days
a great crowd has gathered o. the post
Office corner discussing the financial
question of the present campaign, the
discussion frequently lasting until mid
night. AS fast as speaker wearies,
another fills the gap. The police made
numerous and futile efforts to scatter
the disputants and finally made several
arrests. Twice the cases came before
Judge Cox Of the city court, and the
last time, with much Impotence, he
discharged the defendants, holding
there was no decision by any court,
high or low. where it is held hat a
man violates the law by discussing pol
itical topics in the streets.
"On the contrary" continued the
court, all of the decisions are the other
way. The right Of free speech is
Fundamental in the Constitution
and must not be denied. No police
force can stop it. 1t is the right of
American citizens. This is o time
when perplexing questions are puzzling
the people. They are questions of vital
Importance to the common people. 1t
is only by ample discussion of the ques-
tons that confront them that they can
learn properly to exercise their right of
franchise. They have the right to dis
cuss these questions and the court will
protect them"
The court also criticized the policy of
this police in interfering with these
street corner talks by using the ordi-
nance against sidewalk obstruction as
an engine of oppression.

IN REGARD TO FUSION.
1opulist Chain man Butler Says Report,
Are Very Favorable.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator But
Ter, chairman of the Populist commit
tee, says that he has been receiving
some very favorable reports from differ
ent states where there have been disa-
greements between the Populists and
Democrats as to fusion on electors. 1t
is now believed that the offer of the
Populists in Texas to take seven of the
fifteen electors will be accepted. In
West Virginia the committees have
about agreed upon a division giving the
Democrats four and the Populists two
electors. 1t is also stated that the
chances of fusion i'll North Carolina
have improved.
