the Committees Headquarters.
Washington, July Ex-senator Jones,
of Arkansas. chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee was at the
capitol to-day in conference with SEN
ator Harris, Of Tennessee, on various
matters connected with the pro5ecu-
tion OF MI Bryan's candidacy. He
said that the Executive Committee pro-
badly would rot be apDo.-l,ed Tor ten
days yet.
Senator Jones to-day said That he ia
vors locating the national headquarters
in Washington, but that it viii be for
tie committee to decide that point. In
case Washington is determined upon, a
large building, centrally located, VIII
be takei5 for campaign work.
He predicts the election OF Bryan.
He declared that the silver sentiment
which prevailed at Chicago was but a
sample of olat existing over che coun-
Try. The financial issue. he says,
will be forced TO the frort and tAe Re
Dublicans viii be kept on the defensive.
There will be little or no talk Ca the
tariff, except to insist that the country
does Lot want q rejurn TO Mckinley
ism. We propose TO get close to the
peop,e and We shall CO this by circu-
laing literature and by talks On the
stump.
There were several reasons for the
selection OF New York as a place of no.
tjfying Mr.. Bryan OF his nomination.
We want to show the country that this
silver movement is net sectional. We
wasn't to show New York that we are
not Let Of long-haired fanatics, as we
have been pictured
Mr.. Jones said he has no doubt Of
Ile enforcement Cf Bryan and Sewal

He said that he eXpe0-5 opposition to
come from a few PopuhSts who regard
themselves as leaders and who would
net endorse any Democratic ticket, bua
he says the rank and file Of Popuist
delegates will svesp over their oppo-
sition.

Faulkner was here to-day attending 10
the work OF the Democratic Congres-

he is chairman.
Hs heartily endorsed the Chicago
tiokl. and platform and predicted thar
Wes; Virginia would give Bryan and
Sewall a big majority.
The State, ne declared, was enthusi-
as.ically for silver, especially the Sec
ord. Third and Fourth Congressional
districts.
The Senator explained how the Con-
gressional Campaign Committee pro-
posed to carry on its work so that it
would useful to all Democratic can
Gldates - Congress wharEer silver or
gold men.
The province Of this committee, "
said Senator Faulkner, will be 10 aid
the election &C every candidate for Con
grsss upon the regular Democratic tick
ct. We have nothing whatever TO do
with
TIE NOMINATIONS
for Congress and will take no part in
the contests for nominations. After
the candidates are selected, however,
it will be cur business and We will see
to it that all the aid possible is given
in the election of those candidates. We
will take il for granted that the Demo-
Gratis of each district know what they
are about, and we will not question
their selection. II will make no dif-
ference to us what the platform may
be upon which the candidates are Sc
lected."
"Then if a Democrat is nominated
for Congress and wants gold campaign
literature you will furnish it to him?'
Senator Faulkner was asked.
IF ne askes for such literature and
we have it, he will get it. As I said be-
fore, we want to see the regular Demo-
cratic nominees for Congress elected,
and every effcr. Of this committee will
be bent in that direction"
