Of tho National CampaiEn Committse.
Tho Hon. William Jennings Bryan declared
,t Chicago Immediately after his nomination
that he propoted to force the fighting, and that
bs would enter tho enemies country" by
h.vin, the notification ceremonies held in
Nsai,uu SQUARE Garden, New York. Senator
p,,ohfork Tillman at the time said that Bryan
rss an ass. The Hon. Pitchfork's statement
was not we'll received by Senator James
X Jones, Chairman of the Popocratio
Committee, and at meeting In the Cliff
ton Hotel in Chicago the Hon. Pitchfork
VA, roundly denounced for his utterances con-
cerning the BOY Orator OF the Platte. The Hon.
Pitchfork left In a hun. He left New York yes
terday niorning with the consciousness that his
6rst utterances in Chicago might better have
been needed by Bryan's friends. All Of BrySn's
friends in Nebraska sent up great howl when
they ascertained that Bryan was determined to
have the notification ceremonies In this city.
In the enemies country" as he declared. All
the Nebraskans believed that this was q slight
upon them. but Bryan insisted and declared
that inasmuch as Cleveland was notified In
Madison square Garden, he. too, would go there
TO be officially told Of his nomination.
Bryan in this matter was very wilful. In his
speeches at Chicago he with Tillman, Altgeld,
and the others denounced the New York Demo-
Gratis and declared that they were unworthy to
have anything TO do with the management Of the
Democratic party. However that may be, Bryan
awokc yesterday morning in New York In the
homo Of William p. st. John. firm In the belief
that he had made the greatest success Of his
life in his speech at Madison Square Garden.
He did not mind the fact that half OF the audi
ence left before he had finished speaking. In
his bland eHotism he would not believe any
Ing except that he had made q great speech and
that he had captursd tho enemies ooun-
ty." There were other men who thought diff
frreu,ly. and among them were Senator James
K. Jones. Chairman OF the Popocratc
National Committee, Senator Arthur Pue Cor.
man. who has taken an active part in every
national campaign since 1884. and Gov. Will
liam J. Stone Of Missouri, ex-Gov. HogR Of
Texas. and the Popocratic candidate for Vice
President. Arthur Sewall of Bath. Me. Ali of
these men want to see Bryan successful. but
they are not blind to facts.
Without quoting any OF them. for tho reason
that they do not care that every remark they
make should be heralded. they nevertheless
gave II as their best judgment that Bryan had
made great tactical mistake in insisting upon
coming to New York at this time. They
believe that he should have remained in
the West and continued longer to whet tho
curiosity Of the Eastern people, so that when
he did come, as they had all along proposed. in
September or October. he would have gathered
some WOOL All Of these Popocrats were con-
rinced yesterday that Bryan's effort in tho
Madison Square Garden was an absolute fail
ure, considered as n political tactical move
Ment
All Of the Democrats who have been the lead
ing spirits In that party through disaster and
prosperity for the last score OF years absented
themselves from the Madison Square oelebra-
ton. II has bcen printed that Senator German
was at the meeting. He was not. All day
long Senator Jones, Gov. Stone. and others
talked with Bryan over the results of the
Madison Square celebration and attempted
70 convince him that he should not continue his
Eastern trip. He told them, and he told Arthur
sewa!l. the Popocratic candidate for Vice
President. thSt he had accepted Mr.. Sewall's in
Titation to go on to Maine, and he had also
PROMISED some Connecticut and Massachusetts,
ropocrats shat he would make speeches
on the way. Senator Jones and his friends
listened, and then they returned to the
fifth Avenue Hotel and consulted with
eenator German. Senator Jones and senator
1ormah visited Mr.. Bryan at Mr.. ST. Johns
house arerward and told him that 1t was an
utter mistake for him to continue his Eastern
IT'D Senator Tilman heard all about what
vas going on, but he quickly climbed out of
the town i'll utter disgust. Finally 1t was deter
mined to have conference at tho Windsor
holei iast night and to discuss for the last time
WIN Bryan whether or not his Eastern trip
should be continued.
ihere were present at this con ference Sena-
TORS Jones and German. Gov. Stone OF Mis-

any iur'her. Mr.. st. John desires n correction.
nc says that his friends from other States ad-
arese him as MIR. ST. John. He declares that his
name Is pronounced "sinjun." and that he de-

s.a'ement whicn he said was endorsed by
Sha'rman Jones of tho Popocratlc National
Committee.
