DISTRICT DELEGATES RETURN
Mr.. Jordan Tells How Gardner Was
Made. committeeman

Chairman l.. l. Jort.an u the District
delegation to the Democratic national con-
yeDtion returned yesterday afternoon frum
Chicago. He was accompanied 10y Mt. VIII
liam Holmead, delegate, ana Messrs.
Callahan and Donovan, alternates. Dele
gates Morgan ami Boyle did not come with
their comrades, but stopped Off ut Canton,
Ohio. Mr. Robert MatuDgly returned home
by another Route, and Delegate George
killeen remained III Chicago with Mrs. Kill
leen.
When asked how the selection OF Law-
renee Gardner US national committeeman
was brought about in spite OF The tact that
the delegation was for silver. Mr.. Jordan
said:
He got a ma jCrity Of the votes OF the
six delegates. AS to why l Thought the
result should have Teen otherwise and why
expected to be elected, will simply say
for the reason that our delegation was for
silver and / was the only candidate for
national committeeman who was pro-
nounced silver man, as every one who knew
me could verify
Mr.. Dickson returned from Chicago Sun
day and when seen yesterday was adorned
with TammaDy badge. Col. Dickson could
tell enough about the selection Of Mr.. Gard
ner to fill book, but he prefers to let it
come from some other source.
1t is conceded that DicksOn's support did
much to win the honor for Gardner, who has
been after the plum for years.
There was one feature Of Mr.. Jordan's
trip which will remain with him for some
time to come. The District delegation
was very close to Mr.. Bryan during the
convention. 1t was sandwiched between
portions of the Nebraska delegation, and
seated directly in front Of Mr.. Jordan was
Bryan, who, tile morning of his noInina-
ton, had just succeeded in successfully
contestiug another delegation from his
State. Mr.. Jordan was introduced TO the
boy orator, and nearly exhausted himself
in conversation, principally on labor sub
jects and silver matters.
Not having anything else to say Mr.. Jor-
dan remarked:
"who do you think will be the uoini-
nee of the convention, Mr.. Bryan?"
The latter, half turning In his seat and
with q smile on his face, said: well,
do not know; butI wouldn't be surprised
If was nominated"
s.At the time, :" said Mr.. Jordan, 81 thought
Mr.. Bryan must be rather egotistical to
make such an assertion. never was
more surprised In my life, however. than
when lie was nominated and later chosen.
He is a good man, depend upon it."

The board Of trustees of the United
Societies Christian Epdeavor held its final
meeting for the ycar,yesterday in its rooms
at the Ebbitt House, and formally wound
up the business Of the convention.
The trustees were gratified during the
meeting by the inception of signed state
ment bearing the names of nearly all State
Unions OF Christian Endeavor Societies ap-
proving their administration of the affairs
of the society AMI indorsing their system
of government. This statement was called
forth by an agitation started in some parts
OF the West and continued theIe for several
years seeking to effect a change in the
management OF the societies.
NO CRITICISM MEANT.
No criticism has been directed against
the Officers or trustees by the agitators
Inc aim was to secure a representative
form OF government in the societies. AT
present all power over the affairs OF the
society is vested In the board of trustees
and their officers, and the board is self
perpetuating. Some of the Western
Endeavorers want to change this system
SO that vacancies in the board should be
filled by election, either in the convention
or by the local unions.
Opposition to this proposed change found
expression yesterday in this formal state
inent which bears the signature of twenty
eight state union presidents and the ex-
preston is So emphatic that the agitation
for the change Of system is not likely To
be heard from again for some time.
The statement was based upon a con-
ference between the trustees and the
presidents OF the State and provincial
unions II recites that the signers are con-
WINGED that, generally speaking, the
conduct or the Christian Endeavor move
ment has been most wise and in obedience
TO manifest providentiai leadings. The
movement has been sigDaIly blessed in the
self-sacrifice and devotion of those who,
under guard, originated and have so faith
fully served 1t as Officers and trustees OF
the United Society.
1t declares that tile officers and trustees
have not assumed legislative functions
or controlled the Christian Endeavor move
nent, except to direct 1t into cham els OF
larger development aud usefulness. While
they have been q conserving influence,
they have been open minded and willing
spirited, seeking only the best interests Of
the cause.
The statement further says that the
Christian Endeavor is not an institution
but movement. The very simplicity Of its
organization. its freedom from machinery,
combined with high character, sober iudg-
mept, and Willingness to gain light from
every rightfui source on tie part OF the
trustees, have done much TO lift il to its
present high position OF influence.
1t indorses the recent council OF the
trustees of the United Society and presi
dents of State and provincial union, a
wise step in the progress ofthe movement,
and recommends that such a council be
made permanent feature in connection
with succeeding international conventions.
